Great location and breakfast!
We booked the hilltop view and it was an amazing view of the ocean with a balcony! It was a little bit of a walk up hill every night but it was a great price for the location, view and size of the room. Breakfast was amazing as well. Right on the water with good views and lots of food options. Very central on Sairee Beach.

Overall, I was satisfied with my stay. The people in the reservations room that they direct you towards right away were a little rude and then hid behind a language barrier when asked for clarification.
Front desk staff refused to honor a discount on room cost becaus when I signed up for 3 diving certifications “because I booked through Expedia” and then proceeded to charge me full price directly.
Giving four stars overall because my diving instructor shout out to Hampus was phenomenal.
Giving four stars overall because my diving instructor - shout out to Hampus - was phenomenal; however, if I were to return, I wouldn’t stay here again because there are other potentially more modern options around.

Nice room but rude staff
The jungle house room was very clean, spacious had a balcony and the shower pressure was very good.
This was our last night in Koh Tao and we returned the scooter that we had rented for five days. Our jungle house room was so far from the reception and they were extremely rude when they had to give you a lift in a golf cart to the other end to reach your room. People at reception were extremely rude and dismissive which is a shame because the hotel is a very nice hotel however too big especially if your room is far away and the only way down is by moped or golf cart.

We had a room up high on the other side of the road. We had a beautiful view and the gardens were beautiful. We were far away from the crowds and parties. Quite a walk up and the guys with the golf carts seemed to be very inconvenienced if you asked for a ride up. The breakfast was good except the coffee it was instant. If you are not going there to learn to dive or dive I wouldn’t stay.

Amazing Experience
The hotel is so nice! A great reception area and the hotel restaurant right on the beach. The room was very clean, comfortable and relaxing. The complimentary breakfast buffet with the room was very tasty with good selection. The beach in front of the hotel and the multiple pool areas are great! I would love to stay at Ban’s again!

Perfect for divers, newbies and beach dwellers
Great resort for newbies and experienced divers. Everything is thought through, the resort is very well equipped for dive training and they offer all sorts of courses. The rooms are simple but stylish, with all the amenities you could ask for. You're close to the beach and all the bats and restaurants (can get a bit loud in the evening, but didn't bother us too much). Everyone was super friendly and helpful, the dive guides / instructora were very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and fun. Highly recommend staying at Ban's if coming to KO Tao.
