Upon check in i was disappointed with the room and the sea view blocked by trees. However I grew to really enjoy private little beach out the door, pool and amazing sunset. Also the use of the cliff hotel a few doors down. Hotel has no reception and must checkin at cliff hotel. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Spencer 16 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities \*GPS Location is wrong! Check in at Cliff View Simple Life resort\* Nice & cheap stay! It's back behind the Cliff View Simple Life resort, which is super nice. So you get most of the amenities and access to the pool and everything as if staying at Cliff View, just a much cheaper, older room. The breakfast buffet is pretty good and only 250 baht. The restaurant seems to have odd hours other than that. They also offer full laundry service for 50 baht a kilo. That was very helpful. Overall I'd definitely stay there again! ##### Spencer Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sillanpää 12 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Booked a bungalow for 5 nights. The view was great with direct access to small beautiful beach. The place would definitely need some maintenance. Lots of paint chipping on the walls and crumbling pillars on the patio. I was most disappointed by the lack of room service. After third night I had to ask for it and even then they came late. Overall decent value though I guess ##### Sillanpää Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### megan 6 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room I was given did not look like the tidy clean room advertised. There were ants throughout the bed linen, ants on desk, main light did not work, air conditioner could no be turned off or temperature changed so room was too cold. Bathroom tap was broken and shower dripped constantly leaving bathroom always wet and damp smelling. Luckly was refunded for cutting my trip short however refund was hard to attain as staff were unhelpful.

Thankfully we were moved to a bungalow which was much nicer and we were thankful the staff were understanding. Pool is lovely and location is good. ##### Laura Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Timmy 27 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### DON’T recommend Our booked room had a smell of mould and had ants crawling around in the room. We told the staff, and they told us to have a look at another room. This room had the same issues, with ants crawling around in the room and in the bed. As the staff couldn’t offer us any other rooms currently, they gave us an ant repellent spray that we could use and told us we could come back tomorrow morning and have a look at yet another room. The sink in the bathroom of the second room was about to come off the wall and was partly covered in mould. There was a pair of glasses and pants left in the wardrobe from the previous guest, making us question the cleaning of the room between guests. The noice isolation was bad and a window panel was missing (which they had just covered with drapes). On the next day, we had a look at a third room, which turned out to be free of ants. However, the wardrobe and hangers still had quite a lot of dust and dirt left on them (they obviously don’t clean the rooms properly between guests), the fan was very dirty, and the towels and bed clothes had stains and holes on them. Overall, all the three rooms felt quite dirty. Additionally, the wifi was terrible and some of the staff acted nonchalant. With the amount that we payed for this room we had definately expected a better standard; this was not worth the money! We’ve been traveling for two months by this time, and we’ve payed a lot less money for rooms that had better standard and was noticably cleaner than this. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27E7B36F1EDE8298CD9178DD11F5C96564AF5B891732719424091.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A4B539239468ECE0103DECA122D089DB62DB476F1732719423401.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Timmy Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jessica 16 Feb 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities From check in, the experience at this place was awful. Firstly, it’s not where you expect it to be and it’s part of Cliffview? Simple Life. Expedia advertises the check in time as 8am, which was part of the reason we booked this hotel as we had an early ferry. Upon arriving we were told check in was 2pm!!! When I questioned this I was met with immediate hostility and told ‘if you don’t like the check in time then book somewhere else’ in so many words. Miraculously, they found us a room which was quite honestly horrible. It was behind the main hotel on what can only be described as a dumping/building site and had a bad smell. Our window looked out onto what seemed to be a house and we were woken in the morning by loud coughing due to the proximity. This wouldn’t have been bad if our sleep the night before wasn’t interrupted by some sort of construction work going on in the room next to us, constantly drilling for a few hours on and off. The noise and location wasn’t the only issue, the room was definitely very simple. It was also dirty and the towels were threadbare, the bedspread had hole/stain and the toilet blocked almost immediately. My partner wouldn’t even shower in this place because he said it would make him feel dirtier than before! When we asked for the toilet to be unblocked they were again very hostile and said they’d fix it ‘this time’. We disliked this place so much we ended up leaving Koh Tao early as we couldn’t stand to stay another night in that place. ##### Jessica Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Gry 21 Nov 2025 Disliked: Amenities Beliggenheten var flott men veldig slitent og kun kaldtvann i dusjen. Håndklær var slitte og frynsete. Sengetøy var flekkete. ##### Gry Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 24 Feb 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tout d'abord, la chambre est énormément petite. C'est un emplacement vraiment bruyantes. Nous entendions la musique du bord et les gens crier. La propreté n'y était pas. La salle de bain n'étais pas lavé et il y avais des croqurelles. Le coût de la chambre est vraiment élevé considérant l'état du bangalow, son emplacement et la prepreté. Nous ne passions que 2 jours a koh tao alors nous avons perdu du temps a rechercher une seconde hotel, car nous n'avons pas resté une seconde nuit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea 19 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort A group of us arrived together so a bit chaotic at check in. Room was clean, Use of pool at cliff view resort the Talay pool was mainly for divers. Our shower was cold but apparently that’s quite normal. Huge bed that was great. Good location, great being picked up at pier. ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Garden view bungalowi oli oikein mukava, ensin meillä oli pelkkä huome mutta se ei ollut kauhean hieno joten upgradesimme bunglowii, kannattaa suoraan ottaa bumglowi jos täällä majoittuu! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Kai 17 Jul 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Der Pool ist nicht nutzbar, da er sehr klein ist und den ganzen Tag von der Tauchschule benutzt wird. Glucklicherweise kann man den pool von einem anderen hotel mit benutzen. Das Zimmer ist sehr aktive im schlechten Zustand. Die Betten waren dreckig. Wir würden nicht wieder hier übernachten. ##### Kai Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim 15 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the views from our ocean view bungalow. The location of the property was also superb, as it’s not far away from all the action in the evening, but far enough so that you can have a quiet evening at the resort if you wish. Although the rooms weren’t particularly large, our room was an adequate size for our diving holiday. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels provided. Also nice to have a shower with hot water provided. Also, having air conditioning for the room was a god send. Can’t give enough praise to the hotel staff there. To give an example... upon arrival at the resort & checking in. I was to learn that, rooms in the resort are not provided with a kettle to make tea/coffee etc. However, one was provided for me later that day upon my request for the remainder of our stay at no extra cost. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff at Simple Life Divers also deserve a huge mention for making our stay so fantastic! Haydon, Baden, George, Megan, Shak, Jo, Steve, Mike, Lucas, Issey, Zack, The 2 Carl’s, Keiran, Julia, Jeremy, Nicki, Adam, James, Tom....sorry if I’ve missed anyone. Thank you all for making us feel so welcome and adopting us as part of the Simple Life family. Amazing memories, shared with wonderful people in a fantastic location. Making dreams a reality! ##### Jim Stayed 21 nights in Apr 2019 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 11 Mar 2019 Disliked: Staff & service booked the bungalow with sea view... looks nice on the pictures but not really new anymore... or clean ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location right on the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The place is a few years old and a little bit weathered but overall good value for the price. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi 8 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mukava hotelli Kivat hotelli jossa yövytään omassa pienessä talossa.
