Reviews of The Place Luxury Boutique Villas This rating is a reflection of how the property compares to the industry standard when it comes to price, facilities and services available. It's based on a self-evaluation by the property. Use this rating to help choose your stay!

The place is magical, set in a wildlife scenery, a very nice escape from loud and sometimes too chaotic bars and site next to the beach. Although you need to prepare for a hike to reach the beach or other places. Still it was worth the comfort and luxury facilities, like the pool or nicely furnished villa.

The internet connection is sometimes very poor or it disappears.

I spent four nights at The Place Luxury Boutique Villas in Koh Tao, managed by Guy, and it was truly exceptional. The villas are beautifully designed, each with a private pool—offering absolute comfort and tranquility in the heart of nature, yet just minutes away from vibrant Sairee Beach. Guy has mastered the art of hospitality: he is always available to answer every question and provide recommendations, yet gives his guests total peace and privacy. He strikes the perfect balance between attentive service and discreet presence. I was particularly impressed by the property’s commitment to environmental protection, featuring waste sorting and filtered water provided in every villa. Food delivery menus are conveniently available, and Guy can arrange excellent local taxi services as well. I will definitely return for another stay at this wonderful place!

I can’t fault anything. It was a perfect stay

Very private, beautifully decorated, a really unusually exquisite place. And the view….. As there is a mosquito net and there was a pleasant breeze coming from the ocean, we slept with the doors all open. Listening to the Sounds of the forrest while falling asleep was something real Special.

Nothing. However: it’s not suitable for people who find climbing some stairs difficult. ( there might be a villa without stairs- ours had some). Depending on the direction of the wind you might hear Noise from Sairee Beach through The Valley coming up. It didn’t bother us though.

Amazing place with private pool villas, enough space and beautiful views!

Guy that runs the place is extremely accommodating

No complaints

Fantastic secluded bungalow with lovely view and plunge pool. Only 10 minutes walk from sairee town, quicker of course on a scooter that you can rent directly from owner. Feels remote but you can get anywhere in 20 minutes or so on Koh Tao. Owner covered all needs and there’s attention to detail everywhere with lovely touches. Some things you may think obvious but you don’t get these most Thai places - coffee machine, drinking water tap, outside terrace fan, free snorkelling gear, shaving mirror, first aid kit, sewing kit, stocked fridge (if you can’t make trip to 7 eleven), anti mosquito burner for terrace, ample towels, Netflix if you’re bothered about turning on the TV. Bungalow feels very large, plenty of space and massive open and light shower room. Loved it!!! We will definitely be back in future. Guy, the owner very pleasant, charming and laid back. Thai staff lovely.

Nothing, all good.

It was fantastic, great location

Everything was perfect Privacy respected Feels like you are the only ones at the resort

Beautiful place, individual villa's up on the hill over looking the Gulf of Thailand. The owners obviously took the time to design a great villa down to the smallest details. Both of them were very welcoming and made life easy, with having scooter to rent right on property and arranging my snorkeling trip. Everything was fabulous.

Nothing

Everything was 10/10 The hosts, the staff, the view, the bed, the location!!!

It’s difficult to add anything everyone else hasn’t mentioned already, our stay at The Place was perfect. Our villa was beautiful and bigger than I was expecting! The pools overlook an amazing view. The staff could not be more friendly and even helped my partner arrange flowers to be delivered for my birthday.

As already mentioned, the properties are up a massive hill which is good to be aware of. Also, food delivery was generally good but when the restaurants are busy, it can be hard to get a hold of them (which is not The Places fault, but again good to be aware of)

It was modern and comfortable. Well laid out and had the best view

Nothing really. But if you have accessibility issues this is not the place for you.

We loved every single second of our stay - the villas are beautiful, the view is incredible, the toilets are modern and mosquito net meant we slept very comfortably. The location is perfect - I can’t fault the place

Nothing at all!

Beautiful place to enjoy some quite and relaxing private time. The room is exceptional, a perfect private oasis.

No restaurants or common sitting area. Not recommended for older couples as the hill to the resort is very step and hard walk up. We rented a scooter from the resort which solved this problem. Hard to make a negative commend but the review asks us to add this in. Definitely recommend if you are looking for your own private place to relax.

The villa is beautiful and cozy. Especially the light-flooded bathroom is very nice. The terrace with the pool and the view of the sea were just fantastic (with beautiful sunsets). Everything you need is there, including anti-mosquito incense and net over the bed, umbrellas, kitchen utensils and much more. You could rent scooters directly on site. The hosts are very friendly and gave us lots of tips for activities and restaurants. They also helped us book tours (great snorkeling tour). If we had any questions, we could always contact the hosts via Whatsapp. The location is also great, you don't need long to get to the main road and you are still in a very quiet area. In general, you have a lot of privacy here and can enjoy the magical sounds from the nature around. We also really liked the fact that sustainability is taken into account here (e.g. room cleaning only when required, drinking water filter, mindfulness towards animals). The stay was perfect all round and we would definitely come back.

Nothing

Very private and amazing views. The villa was extremely clean and well lit. They provide so much- multiple towel sets, drinks, Nespresso, TV with Netflix, etc .Also, not too far from town. We rented a scooter through Guy and used that to get around. Guy also arranged pickup and drop off for us. This is one of the most amazing and memorable stays.

Amazing villas in a picture perfect location in Koh Tao. Staff are so friendly and accommodating.
