Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful, however we were quite disappointed that our room was infested with ants. They were all over the bed when we checked in and there were quite a few of them in the bathroom. There were also several holes in the walls that were filled with toilet paper. Other than that, we appreciated how accommodating the staff were.

Pros:

Un lloc maquíssim! Entre mig de la selva però a tocar del mar. Els bungalows són molt acollidors i la recepcionista és molt maca. Ofereixen servei per recollir-te i portar-te al port gratuitament.

Pros:

Le ventilateur dans la petite cabane ne fonctionnait pas super bien alors nous avons eu très chaud durant la nuit ! Au niveau du confort, après un mois à voyager en Thaïlande, il s’agit du lit le plus dure et moins confortable que nous avons eu!
Les employés sont gentils cependant et l’endroit est quand même propre malgré tout !

Pour la plongé nous avons adoré notre guide, cependant, nos deux plongés étaient à des endroits pas super intéressant donc très déçu de cela !

Highly recommend their bungalows
Pros:

Nice enough bungalow, warm welcome. I felt expected on arrival and being booked in. They even go to collect you at the ferry port. One and only downside is, the bed, but I gather it’s mostly the same all over Thailand. Too hard and uncomfortable. Everything else considered, actually outweighed this. I ended up booking and staying on for a further 5 nights. Still gets my vote and would definitely recommend.

Pros:

Ihan kivat bungalovit, hintojen määrittely vähän epäselvä, monimutkainen eikä luettavissa helposti esillä. Henkilökunta mukavaa. Rauhallinen sijainti kuitenkin lähellä palveluita. Ranta aivan tiestä 20m päässä. Rento meno. Uutuutena skootterivuokraamo ja uudelleen rakennettu tatuointipaikka. Tietynlainen yhteishenki eritoten jos lisäksi olet kyseisen paikan sukelluskurssilla ja ylipäätään hyödynnät ”talon” kaikkia palveluita. Itsellä tämä kolmas kerta täällä. Toki vaativaan makuun ehkä kannattaa etsiä se neljän tähden lautasella kannettu aamiainen huoneeseen jostain muualta. Yksin tai kaksin matkaavalle ei niin bilettäville varsin kelpo paikka jos ei heti ala naama vääränä perus suomalaisena arvostelemaan kaikkea mikä ei ole niinkuin suomessa ;)

Buen lugar para llegar a dormir
Pros:

El lugar esta bien si lo que buscas es simplemente dormir. Tiene cerca playa y mirador, aunque esta un poco alejado de lugares concurridos. Recomendable rentae moto si se quiere conocer la isla. La cama parecía muu dura pweo en realidad no se duerme mal en ella

Perfect location and cosy
Pros:

Our stay was amazing. The area is full of restaurants and pool bars. Beach is ok but better one on the other side at a 10 minutes walk. Staff very helpful and friendly. Bungalows are comfy and clean.

Clean & affordable bungalow. (no Huntsmans)
Pros:

I rented a budget bungalow and it was well worth the money. Ive rented similar bungalows at other places on the island which were nowhere near as good. It was spotless and had a mosquito net (first time ive had one), which is good for pansies that are scared of mossies. There were no cockroaches or huntsman spiders involved either, which is a real bonus.
The only point that other people may have a problem with is the bed is quite "firm", shall we say. I like a hard mattress, so I'm ok with that, but there are plenty others who will probably moan that their bed shouldve been more softer for the 400 Baht a night price (very cheap).
Yes, there are people who will always whinge, and theyre usually from the same countries.....we all know who you are.
Not sure if the restaurant is part of the same establishment, but it was a bit of work trying to order something (nobody seems to be in any real hurry to even acknowledge you are there), and the food wasnt as good as ive had in other places.
I would definitely stay there again but maybe eat somewhere else. There are loads of fantastic restaurants not that far away from there. I suppose the competitions stiff and ive only tried the place once, so dont write them off on my review alone. This is the only reason that I havent given them full marks for everything.
Its also in a lovely part of Koh Tao.

Great stay
Pros:

I really had a great stay at Bubble Bugalows. It is nicely located close to the beach, the rooms are clean and have everything you need. Not the highest standard, not new - but a good deal for the price. There is a moscito net and a ventilator, a hammock - I really liked it. Valuables can be stored in a safe at the reception.

AVOID THIS HOTEL! TERRIBLE!!
Pros:

Avoid this hotel!!! Never been more disappointed to arrive to a room that was not as described on the website. There was a bad smell when we walked into the room. And the bed was rock solid. Would have been better lying on the floor. We also had a hike up quite a few steep steps with 2 heavy rucksacks on are back. When we went to the reception desk a man who claimed he was the manager laughed in my face well I told him the issues we had. He made fun of the whole issue and claimed the photos on the website were taken when the place was opened and that bubble bungalow did not look like this anymore he also claimed all of the beds were hard. He also stated ‘sure you only stay one night’. I have never felt so embarrassed and I will never recommend here to anyone. Wether we stayed one night or not we should have been treated like everyone else. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Could be better
Pros:

Although relatively clean, the bed was very uncomfortable! And the blankets provided were old and too small. A simple sheet would be far better! The shower smelt very bad when turned on. There was a lot of rubbish around the bungalow which ruined the surrounding plant life. Of the three separate occasions in which i have stayed in the this area of koh tao, this was unfortunately the least pleasant experience.

The beds are way too hard.

Overall, not a great experience but still worth the money.
