Reviews of High Bar Koh Tao 3 stars

The location. The simplicity.

The room floor is super slippy, made me fell and I broke a toe. Didn’t complain because the language is a big barrier. The door locks are simple padlocks and it doesn’t isolate rooms from bugs and mosquitos. Noisy in the morning because they were building some kind of structures. There was lack of information about tours and attractions at the reception.

The view was beautiful and the staff were very nice and helpful. They have a car that can take you out for 100 baht per person, and the trip after checkout is free.

The facilities were in poor condition. The bed was comfortable but the room was very hot, even hotter than outside. There was no AC, only a fan, which did not help much. The bathroom had a constant unpleasant smell and there was no hot water, although that was not a big problem because of the heat. And if you are afraid of lizards, you might have some unwanted guests in your room hahahaha. The walk to the hotel was quite steep. I managed it a couple of times on foot because I am sporty and used to exercise, but my friends could not. They had to take taxis, and the drivers charged high prices because they knew we needed them, especially when going back alone, you can also take the car of the hotel but it's not always available. In the end, I spent more on taxis than on the room itself. If you cannot rent a motorbike, this place may not be the best option for you.

Great view and very nice staff . Good value and a nice clean and comfortable room .

The road up to it is quite steep so if your not a decently experienced scooter rider I'd be careful driving . Walking up is also an option but quite tiring . But very worth it for the view you get

Beautiful view, lovely room and spacious

It’s super steep to get to, I didn’t drive a bike because I was scared to take the road and taxi drivers will charge you a lot just to take you there as it’s right at the top. Also check in wasn’t so friendly but some of the staff are super lovely

The staff were really good fun friendly great place and good vibes would definitely stay there again

The best stay in Koh Tao. Amazing place. New furnitures in the room, mini bar, quiet AC and very happy staff!!! Close to great beaches, bars, restaurants and obvs 7/11. Def coming back next year !!!!

The room was very nice and modern. It was also very clean and it felt nice to be around the trees and see the ocean view from the balcony. It was nice to have some space to sit on the bean bags in the room so we don't always have to sit on the bed. The balcony seating was also nice, although it rained for a lot of our stay, so it was too wet or filled with mosquitos to make the most of it.

The views are great, but it's located on the top of a hill and the ramp to get there is super steep and dangerous. We rented a scooter from someone the staff had organised us with, and unfortunately had a scooter accident going downhill, which was really scary. We were injured, but what was worse was we were forced to pay 27,000baht for damages and they wouldn't return our passport until we did so. While this isn't the fault of this accommodation, they were the ones that recommended this scooter rental company that is taking advantage of travellers. They should also make it more clear that the ramp to get to this place is extremely steep and dangerous in the rain, so only very experienced drivers should try to come here. On another note, while it was super clean in the room, it wasn't clear what their cleaning schedule is like. I had to ask if they could change the bin and the towels half way through our stay because they only provided one small bin in the bathroom. They were okay to do it, but it didn't look like they had planned to do any cleaning in the room our entire 4 night stay as they seemed surprised I had asked.

The balcony view was perfect

That my door didn’t fully shut allowing uninvited visitors in

Incredible view of sunsets

Walking up huge hill to accomodation

Great views
