The staff is very friendly and helpful, mostly at the restaurant. They are happy to help you at any moment and for the breakfast you can order as much as you like. The view is stunning, both from the restaurant/swimming pool as from the room. I wish I stayed more than one night!

You can only reach the hotel by taxi (they can arrange one for you) or by motor bike. The roads are steep and curvy. That’s how you get to the beautiful view of course, but good to take this into account. There are also a lot of mosquitos (as everywhere on the island), but they have taken good measures for it.

Beautiful villa, especially number 10, 11 and 12, beautiful sea view, big balcony with sofa and lounge chairs, room is equipped with mosquito screen doors, we could even sleep with open doors at night! Wonderful, very helpful staff members, dealt perfectly with every request we had! Nice dining area, beautiful pool, great variety for breakfast!

We had the most amazing stay at Ecotao Lodge. The views were honestly spectacular, the food in the restaurant was delicious, breakfast was also great. A real highlight was the staff, Camille and the barman (I can't remember his name apologies!) were honestly so helpful, kind and a true credit to the lodge.

It is quite inaccessible from the main areas of the island if you don't have a bike, which we didn't, however the lodge offers a free shuttle to drop down to the pier, and collect that evening. This was so useful! Taxi was also very available for evenings going into the main areas.

Peaceful setting, good size rooms with a great view! We loved the breakfast that was included- it was defiantly the best breakfast included with our stay that we have had during our time in Thailand. The staff were friendly and professional at all times. The pool was very clean and the hammock on our balcony was a lovely touch! The room itself is very nice and had everything you would need!

This place due to its beautiful location is an absolute hotspot for mosquitos which is no fault of the hotel it's self, but I was bitten a considerable amount and had to go to the hospital which meant I was not able to leave the room for a few days! But staff at the restaurant- in particular a gentleman from Burma (did not catch his name sadly) was very helpful :) We could also hear our neighbours through the bathroom as if we were in the same room but this did not bother us as we just shut the door!

Cami who worked there was wonderful - she was so kind and welcoming and really went out of her way to help us - we got sick (not from here) and she made us feel cared for and safe, helping us to do research into our travel options etc. The lodge itself is beautiful and the views are incredible! The cocktails were also amazing - some of the best we've had during out time in Thailand and the bartender making them was really lovely.

I just thought it was a little overpriced for the facilities/furnishing of the rooms. The location was beautiful and the rooms were very lovely and clean, but it was the most expensive of all of our accomodations in Thailand by a long mile. Its more the pricerange you'd pay in Europe

EcoTao Lodge gave more than just a place to stay. Incredible location with stunning views away from the hustle of the main resorts. Cleverly designed to give you a sense of privacy but with a friendly communal space too. The lodge/room was very comfortable and well appointed with a private balcony with its own seating and hammock ... perfect for chilling after a day out or reading and having a drink. Great shower with views too! Air con really helped stay cool along with the fan was welcome. Loved the pool and the area around it. Easy to find that sunny spot or a shady retreat whenever needed. Again, well placed fans and mosquito coils helped to avoid getting bitten! The attention to being eco friendly made a difference from eco friendly toiletries, to no plastic bottles and the clever use of waste water etc. But the best thing ... the wonderful staff team really made me feel relaxed and very welcome. Great communication from the reception staff before arrival including making arrangemenst for transfers to and from the lodge. Very accomodation with booking trips, tours, cooking classes and taxis throughout my stay, and always a friendly 'good morning' each day. Olivier (manager) always took time to check that everything was good but also to have chats with when by the pool/bar making it a much more personal experience. And I keep the best till last ... the bartender (so sorry that I can't recall his name). What an incredibly skilled, friendly and interesting man he is. Brilliant hand made cocktails, very attentive making sure fans were well positioned and orders brought to the lounger/tables, but the chats we had were amazing ... he has such a generous spirit and attitude to life and he was great company. Thank you to the whole staff team for making my stay a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Leaving! There was nothing that was negative. Some would find it too far out of the resort centres and a reliance on either taxis or hiring a scooter but that was what I wanted on this stay!

Cami, Nat, and Nine were fabulous. You could not find better hosts. The guests were incredibly friendly, and the whole dynamic people wise was the best. The rooms were great, and the bed, pillows, and black out curtains made for good sleeps. The pool was superb, and the meals delicious. We snorkled with Oxygen charters, and they were extraordinarily friendly, and well organized. The roads are narrow and steep, so if you don't ride motor bikes, it's 300 Baht each way to the beaches.

Wifi came and went randomly.

Wonderful stay, superbly managed by Camille and her team. Naing, who I guess is the maitre d', deserves a special mention as he was brilliant; very attentive and professional. We felt completely at home and cared for. The food was excellent. This is a small eco hotel who strive to have a small energy footprint and an intimate (only 11 rooms) feel. If you like to be away from the crowds, up in the hills and in the jungle and nature, this is perfect.

Nothing - but if you want to see more of Kao Tao be prepared to pay for taxis as this place is a little out of the way

We had the best experience possible during our stay at Ecotao. We loved the serene location and untouched jungle surrounds, the understated beauty of the bamboo lodges, the pool area with amazing view, food and drinks and especially the wonderful staff who made our stay special. I would recommend Ecotao to anyone looking for a special stay on Koh Tao, it will not dissapoint.

Nothing, a bit difficult to get into town from the hotel but that’s part of what makes it great!

What an amazing place. From the moment we arrived it was like paradise. We were warmly welcomed by Camila who was an amazing host during our whole 6 days. The accommodation was spotless and the views were amazing. The bar/restaurant food was outstanding and the staff were lovely especially Naing who went out of his way for us. We would recommend Eco Tao to any couples who want a beautiful/peaceful stay in Koh Tao 💛

Nothing at all.
