    It’s quite far away from the bus terminal especially in a hot day. Although we didn’t see the owner who kept us informed by what’s app

    It’s reasonably priced hotel in Tai O for us to stay during the dragon boat festival

    There is totally no transport to the guesthouse; you have to walk on foot entirely. at night there are street lamps but the place can be quite dark. plus you will hear plenty of frogs croaking underneath the nearby drains. So please dont come back too late!

    Nice inn to stay; guesthouse standard. Basic bed + aircon + balcony. Toilet had sufficient amenities with soap, shampoo and conditioner. Location is not too bad but need to walk quite a bit from the ferry terminal. so please be prepared

    For the price, the room was a bit to small, having to squeeze between the bed and entrance door. Even though I liked everything, the price is just to high for such small room.

    Self check in/out so very convenient & easy. Great location looking right over the open water. Balcony and rooftop area, lovely for mornings and evenings. Close by to some amazing hiking trails for all levels. Lots of street foods and restaurants minutes away. Communication with host really good and very helpful with arrival instructions and helped with transport info. Communal fridge, air-conditioning, tv, good shower and products. Kettle, comfy bed, nice decor and clean

    Well a bit of dark hairs everywhere ( i am blonde) on the floor, on the wall. It could be cleaner - although it was just that, the rest was ok

    Tai o is a nice location, very quiet, plenty of birds. Nice roof top, nice little room with hot water. Very easy communication with owner, very clear instruction.

    Simple and comfortable stay. The sea view is unbeatable. Enjoy very much to explore Tai O at non-peak time like evening, night and early morning while almost no tourists there. Easy and effective communication with the host. Information is well organized. No need to contact host for extra information.

    Lovely location with a fantastic view. Brilliant communication with the owner ensuring we found the place and were able to check in really easily. Although we didn’t use the rooftop space, it was a great addition. The bed was comfy and we slept well. Tai O is a really special place, we would definitely recommend staying here for an overnight visit.
