Nice to star resort. A lot of walking if your room is on other side of road.

This hotel has everything you could need. There are multiple pools, the rooms are generously sized, and the breakfast has many options including freshly cooked omelettes and pancakes (though can be extremely busy at times). You can cut across the front road and straight on to the beach. The staff are also extremely helpful. When we realised we would not have enough time to make our flight back from Koh Samui with the ferry option we had chosen, Siri at Reception called Bangkok Airways for us to see if we could alter flights. The only thing we didn't like was our room was close to the beach and there was loud music until late every night that came into our room so suggest booking a room higher up the hill if you are a light sleeper. Also there are mosquitos.

The deluxe hilltop room view was amazing, and far enough from beach noise to sleep peacefully. The staff was very helpful, The restaurant food was wonderful and some of the best available. The dive shop and diving staff made staying at Bans the best trip to Koh Tao ever.

We stayed in two different rooms - the Jungle House, which was lovely and private but too hot, and another room on the main property that was very cool and conveniently located.

Our stay at Ban's was overall good, but with some inconvieniences. Starting with what we liked, the location was the best. Right in the middle of everything and walking distance for most things. We easily got around on foot and moped. The staff was helpful as well, and we appreciated the on-site convienece stores. The grounds were very pretty too. Breakfast was lovely, with a view of the beach as well. The things we disliked were the walls being very thin. Like extremely. We stayed far from the reception area, which meant quieter nights, but we could still hear our neighbors. Second, the pool was green. Like very green - the whole week. We tried to swim the first day but it didn't feel safe. The bathroom also had a bad sewage-y odor, and the water gor everywhere when showering. Not terrible, we kept the door closed for the smell, but unpleasant to be in there. Last, there were ants in the room and a few bugs. It's hard to control when in a tropical enviroment, but not very pleasant. Overall, a good stay but a few improvements would have made it great.

The staff were very helpful. There was an issue with our first room and they moved us to another promptly.

Best experience and best time getting open water certified

The hotel’s location is excellent and one of its biggest advantages. However, there are a few important things future guests should know before booking. The property is quite large, and some rooms are located very far from the reception and main facilities, requiring a golf cart to get around. I was fortunate to be moved to a room near the reception, but that came with another issue. Because of the hotel’s location, many guests return late from nearby nightlife, and there was significant noise almost every night between midnight and 2:00 AM. In addition, the walls are extremely thin. I could clearly hear conversations, televisions, and even when the couple next door were having sex. The lack of sound insulation made it very difficult to relax or get a good night’s sleep. The room itself was comfortable, nicely decorated, and well maintained. The shower was excellent, and housekeeping kept the room clean every day. I used one of the three swimming pools, which was clean and pleasant. However, it only had four sun loungers, so finding a place to sit was often difficult. Overall, the hotel has a great location and comfortable rooms, but your experience will depend heavily on the room you are assigned. I strongly recommend requesting a quiet room away from both the reception and the nightlife.

La première chambre que nous avons eu était infestée de fourmis. On nous a déplacé dans une deuxième chambre. Celle-ci n'avait pas d'insectes mais au bout de 3 jours une forte odeur d'égoût se dégageait de la salle de bains. Nous avons été déçus de notre séjour. Le buffet déjeuner était bien et il y avait beaucoup de choix. Les piscines du complexe sont biens. L'endroit est bien situé. Près du centre mais assez calme le soir pour pouvoir se reposer. L'écolde de plongée est bien. Nous avons fait notre Open water et avons aimé l'expérience.

There was construction outside our window and our only view. The bed was very uncomfortable.
