Nice enough bungalow, warm welcome. I felt expected on arrival and being booked in. They even go to collect you at the ferry port. One and only downside is, the bed, but I gather it’s mostly the same all over Thailand. Too hard and uncomfortable. Everything else considered, actually outweighed this. I ended up booking and staying on for a further 5 nights. Still gets my vote and would definitely recommend.

Our stay was amazing. The area is full of restaurants and pool bars. Beach is ok but better one on the other side at a 10 minutes walk. Staff very helpful and friendly. Bungalows are comfy and clean.

I rented a budget bungalow and it was well worth the money. Ive rented similar bungalows at other places on the island which were nowhere near as good. It was spotless and had a mosquito net (first time ive had one), which is good for pansies that are scared of mossies. There were no cockroaches or huntsman spiders involved either, which is a real bonus.
The only point that other people may have a problem with is the bed is quite "firm", shall we say. I like a hard mattress, so I'm ok with that, but there are plenty others who will probably moan that their bed shouldve been more softer for the 400 Baht a night price (very cheap).
Yes, there are people who will always whinge, and theyre usually from the same countries.....we all know who you are.
Not sure if the restaurant is part of the same establishment, but it was a bit of work trying to order something (nobody seems to be in any real hurry to even acknowledge you are there), and the food wasnt as good as ive had in other places.
I would definitely stay there again but maybe eat somewhere else. There are loads of fantastic restaurants not that far away from there. I suppose the competitions stiff and ive only tried the place once, so dont write them off on my review alone. This is the only reason that I havent given them full marks for everything.
Its also in a lovely part of Koh Tao.

I really had a great stay at Bubble Bugalows. It is nicely located close to the beach, the rooms are clean and have everything you need. Not the highest standard, not new - but a good deal for the price. There is a moscito net and a ventilator, a hammock - I really liked it. Valuables can be stored in a safe at the reception.

Avoid this hotel!!! Never been more disappointed to arrive to a room that was not as described on the website. There was a bad smell when we walked into the room. And the bed was rock solid. Would have been better lying on the floor. We also had a hike up quite a few steep steps with 2 heavy rucksacks on are back. When we went to the reception desk a man who claimed he was the manager laughed in my face well I told him the issues we had. He made fun of the whole issue and claimed the photos on the website were taken when the place was opened and that bubble bungalow did not look like this anymore he also claimed all of the beds were hard. He also stated ‘sure you only stay one night’. I have never felt so embarrassed and I will never recommend here to anyone. Wether we stayed one night or not we should have been treated like everyone else. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Although relatively clean, the bed was very uncomfortable! And the blankets provided were old and too small. A simple sheet would be far better! The shower smelt very bad when turned on. There was a lot of rubbish around the bungalow which ruined the surrounding plant life. Of the three separate occasions in which i have stayed in the this area of koh tao, this was unfortunately the least pleasant experience.

This little room was pleasent, just had a queen bed with a bathroom behind the wall. I had a room with a fan only which was good as i was quite cold at night anyway. I loved the hammok out the front and i was lucky enough to lay in it most of my stay, listen to the sound of the forrest (with the occasiinal car or bike zoom past) and watch the squirrels (i think thats what they were) play in the trees. The only downside was my room did not have hot water in the shower

A bit far from everything, few divers shops, quiet area. Only had a cold shower and weren’t told. Room really clean, nice owner. However, walls were made of paper, could litterally hear every other bungalows next to us . For the price would have expected a bit more.

Had a great experience at bubble bungalow! We had a cute deluxe bungalow for not a lot of money, but were a bit confused because it looked the same as a standard bungalow. Apparently the only difference is the hot shower, so after two days we shifted to a standard room.
Initially we wanted to stay 2 days but eventually extended it to 6!
The area is quiet and has a couple of nice restaurants. Across the street there's a restaurant where you may use the pool if you order something (great deal, because they have good coffee).
Also across the street is diving school big bubble. I did a fun dive and adventure course with them and a side from that they were not so expensive it had a nice and relaxt atmosphere.
The people that work there speak very good English and will help you with anything. Definitely a school to recommend.

I love this bungalow! The atmosphere is like you are in the jungle
It is really for the people that dont mind seeing a bug or two, I didnt see any inside my room but outside the bungalow there is a lot out there haha but its the experience you get of an island bungalow
We stayed in a fan bungalow and it was ok the room comes with a mosquito net that you put at night and I didnt have any mosquito bites at night
The staff ok
The location is ok you have to rent a bike or take a tuk tuk to get to the to the closest beach
The beach there is not to swim is full of boats
Nice cafe with pool infront of hotel you can get a drink and you get to use the pool!

Very cheap place, we had some issues with check-in, but for that price you cannot expect concierge-level care:)

Cheep accommodation(500THB/bungalow2 ppl/Expedia deal), cold shower(which was perfect) quite far to walk to Sairee Beach, expensive laundry service, expensive bike rent next door. Good enough for the price ( most about 700 THB/ room close to the centre).

The place was ok, clean comfortable bed. It has no aircon, or it does but you have to pay a lot more. When you arrive they tell you your room is not ready and take you to their restaurant which is not cheap.

We liked our room and we enjoyed our stay. Although housekeeping didn't do their job right...we stayed for 6 days and only once our towels were changed and not once the bed was made. The mosquito net was very dirty when we arrived and I had to wash it in order to sleep...for the money we paid it was worth it. Great service at the reception! They picked us up from the pier and also will bring us to the pier. Thank you very much!

The area of Chalok baan bay is a peaceful little corner of Koh Tao and if you are just going there for some peace and quiet it's probably quite a nice location to spend a few days. We visited in Sept 2016 which is during the low-season, but it was still far quieter than we bargained for. This may be due to the fact that the main road which runs outside Bubble Bungalow was being re-surfaced so half the road was tarmac and the other half was dirt, with heavy construction going on each day, making it hard to access. We also found that although Bubble Bungalow was in a nice location, had basic but clean rooms and a nice white sandy beach just a few yards away, it didn't provide a comfortable night's sleep as the mattresses in both rooms were absolutely rock solid. Due to the quietness of the area, and the hard mattresses we decided to check out after just one of our three booked nights and find accommodation in the busier area of Sairee beach. There was also no hot water which we mentioned at check-out and were told the taps were the wrong way around - so if we'd used the cold tap we would've got a hot shower - but i'm not sure this was really true.
The staff were friendly and i'm sure it is much livelier during high season, and ideal for divers who just want to get away from the craziness of other more touristy places, but we were glad we moved to Sairee beach for the remainder of our time in Koh Tao.

Whilst the location may have been great the trek up hill to our room was not! We had to walk up what felt like a gazillion stairs and with heavy backpacks that was not fun. Not to mention that given we also got food poisoning for a local restaurant so the option to leave the room was even more daunting given the climb. Our electricity stopped working for about an hour so we had no water or fan... Not that the fan made a huge difference as a cooling machine in such heat to the point I'm fairly convinced that Frodo and Sam walked in during the night looking lost. Our mosquito net was full of holes so it did absolutely nothing to protect us to the point I woke up with a mosquito bite on my eyelid! The price is good but still not what I expected, the workout whilst good for my thighs was just not worth it.

We had a lovely clean room with a nice bathroom. We opted for a fan room and though it was hot the fan was decent so definitely made it bearable. So close to a beautiful beach, far from all the noise and busy part of the island.
