Reviews of @888byChefKong

The owner was extremely rude and aggressive towards me. He stormed into my room yelling about someone leaving a scooter outside in the wrong parking spot. It wasn’t even my scooter. Then on another occasion he stood outside our door at 2:30am yelling at the people next door to us about them leaving a scooter in the wrong spot. The doors to the rooms provide no sound protection whatsoever so you hear people walking in and out and can hear people talking in their rooms. The owner also sleeps on a bed on a raised platform just outside the rooms which is a small space and you feel as if you’re being watched at all times. He makes you feel very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this place and would strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

Very cool room design, loved the floor tiles. Clean. Really nice :)

Friendly staf (Poi). Rooms and beds very comfortable. Location is quiet but close to restaurants, bars and the pier.

We just booked for one night and we had a great stay

The lady that works there!

The hygiene was really bad

This hostel was only a 6 minute walk from the ferry port which is the only way to the island , everything was around and less then 5 minute walk , perfect location , room was clean.

The owner of the property lives in the middle of the rooms and the walls are pretty thin can hear everything going on around you which is hard to sleep if your not a heavy sleeper.

We booked our stay two nights ahead and had a private room with two beds and two floors approx 15m2 in total. The staff is really kind, the breakfast as well as every dish you will have there is extra ordinary good. The host is a former kitchen chef. Toilettes and showers are clean. AC works fine and is recommended. We also rented two scooter for 200 thb/day. If we come back we will say at least „hello“ at this place.

We only stayed one night so we could get the boat the next day. It was fine for that purpose and it was cheap so I didn’t expect too much. Showers were decent.

It smelt a bit of smoke and the bed was pretty hard. We didn’t really see the staff around but again, it was cheap so understandable.

Chef Kong was very welcoming, kind and generous. We couldn’t ask for a better host.

Nothing, everything was as expected or better.

ChefKong is incredibly nice and helpful in any way you would need. The location is a short walk (5-10 min) from the pier. The breakfast is quite big and you get free coffee with it as well.

The beds are quite hard and the towels are quite bad and do not really dry you. Also on the site it seems like you have your own bathroom but you share it with the other guests as well. Also the womans bathroom is quite small with barely any space to put stuff.

The owner was really friendly and helpful!

Amazing location, kitchen right outside and 711 right out front, offered scooter rental

Beds were a little hard

Very nice welcome from Kong, who advised us on activities to do in Koh Tao and in particular on snorkeling, we booked a snorkeling excursion with him. We also rented a top scooter, the scooter is fully fueled and is in good condition. And we ate at the restaurant for the last day. It was very good, I recommend the yakisoba 😁
