The place is renovated. Everything looks nice and shiny. Location is good. It’s on the island, so everywhere is five minutes away from where you are. When you wake up you can have some tea and coffee. If you have any questions or need some help, Jesus is there to help you. Thank you for everything.

We had a great stay at Mae Ya Resort and even ended with extending and extending our stay until it was not possible anymore as the resort was unfortunately fully booked. The pool was lovely with a beautiful view, its big enough for 2 people. The whole resort is very new and good maintained. Our villa was spacious and very clean with daily housekeeping. The shower had a good pressure and hot water. You will not find many other private pool villas for this price anywhere in Thailand. The staff was also very kind and helpful. You will need a motorbike as its about 10 minutes outside of the center. A good 125 ccm bike is powerful enough to get up the steep street. One day we will definitely come back here and we do recommend this resort 100%!

Loved my time at this hostel. Got it recommended by some people, would maybe not have found it otherwise. The kindest staff at a hostel ever, and the facilities are really great. Definitely made some of my favorite memories of my trip in this hostel. Couldn’t recommend it more!

It is a small hostel with only 20-25 beds, making it very personal to get to know each other. Every night there is an activity (optional of course), otherwise anyone can also chill in the common area - with pool, a foosballtable, a TV and a lot of sitting areas (couches, beanbags, etc). The beds are very comfortable, with airco running almost all the time in the rooms. The showers are large and you can loan a towel for a deposit only. The staff is extremely nice, fun and helpful with anything at any time! If I come back to Ko Tao, I will book at Wonderland again!

I had a wonderful stay at the Mar Ozo Hotel. The girls at reception were so nice, kind, and extremely helpful, which made check-in a very pleasant experience. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with a really nice bathroom and very comfortable beds. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and there was always hot water available. I also appreciated the little details like water in the fridge and being well taken care of while waiting for the room to be ready. Overall, an excellent stay – highly recommended!
