Great location and breakfast!
We booked the hilltop view and it was an amazing view of the ocean with a balcony! It was a little bit of a walk up hill every night but it was a great price for the location, view and size of the room. Breakfast was amazing as well. Right on the water with good views and lots of food options. Very central on Sairee Beach.

Overall a great stay and value for money. Super central, room was definitely renovated and looked way better than on the pictures. Bathroom was brand new. Only downside tje mattress was way too hard, and I like hard mattresses. Pick up service from the harbor, restaurant at the beach. All walking distance. Still a 5 out of 5

My experience with Ban's diving resort was great. I lived in the jungle house so it was a bit of a walk to get out of the hotel but everything was great.

The place is awesome only problem is the staff members… if you stay in jungle area of the hotel after 8pm you will struggle to get to your room the only way is with golf carts they are supposed to be 24/7 but the staff gets aggressive and force you to walk around 30-40 minutes to get to your room. If you stay in the part close to the beach you will have a good experience!

Amazing Experience
The hotel is so nice! A great reception area and the hotel restaurant right on the beach. The room was very clean, comfortable and relaxing. The complimentary breakfast buffet with the room was very tasty with good selection. The beach in front of the hotel and the multiple pool areas are great! I would love to stay at Ban’s again!

Couldn’t be more impressed. Clean property with fantastic, friendly staff. Also has a beachside restaurant which serves awesome food and turns into a great beach club at night. 10/10 would recommend. We stayed for the open water scuba diving course which was world class.

Really Nice hotel, clean rooms with fabulous rooms and decent breakfast. Only downside was bad smell from showers after use. Very steep walk to some of the rooms and the resort is huge and not very well labeled with directions to rooms!

Bans Diving Resort
We had a room up high on the other side of the road. We had a beautiful view and the gardens were beautiful. We were far away from the crowds and parties. Quite a walk up and the guys with the golf carts seemed to be very inconvenienced if you asked for a ride up. The breakfast was good except the coffee it was instant. If you are not going there to learn to dive or dive I wouldn’t stay.

It was amazing place for all divers, locating just in front of the beach where the boat departs. I am a free diver, and Diw, the instructor, took care of me very well.
Hot shower was not working in my room, and neither was the house phone. But it was not very important part for me that I could bare.
Definitely I would come back again.

Nice room but rude staff
The jungle house room was very clean, spacious had a balcony and the shower pressure was very good.
This was our last night in Koh Tao and we returned the scooter that we had rented for five days. Our jungle house room was so far from the reception and they were extremely rude when they had to give you a lift in a golf cart to the other end to reach your room. People at reception were extremely rude and dismissive which is a shame because the hotel is a very nice hotel however too big especially if your room is far away and the only way down is by moped or golf cart.

Clean rooms, but far from the beach.
The Jungle house are pretty far from the beach, and you will have to cross a road with a lot of traffic. The hotel offers free drive by golf chart, but it is frustrating to wait for the driver everytime you are going back to the room. The rooms in the Jungle house are clean and big, but the walls are thin. I was awakened every morning by neighbours talking. I will recomend to either rent a motorbike or pay extra to get a room closer to the beach. I did not get the magic Koh Tao Island vibe by staying this far from the beach.

Terrible staff - rooms alright
We stayed at their hotel for 5 nights in total and i must say, we were not happy with the staff..
Upon arrival we were met with a receptionist who seemed like he didn’t wan’t to be there, a room with small insects covering the tea station.
The staff in the restaurant were giving us looks and generally looked at us like we were stupid which made us very uncomfortable.
The rooms were alright considering the price but the staff needs to be re-mannered.
We do not recommend staying here if you are looking for friendly staff or great service, you are not getting that here.

Band diving resort is an amazing property with great service and facilities and awesome dive shop. The resort is enormous and some areas are so far away you need to get golf carts to get around. They basically have people driving these carts back and forth picking up and dropping off people. Like I had booked the jungle house room.. one cannot just walk there you need to request transport. I stayed in the building overlooking pool 3 right under where the gym is. These rooms can be a bit noisy with the meatheads dropping weights. It was very quiet and pleasant once the gym closed.
I really enjoyed my stay there. AmazIng property

1 week at Ban’s diving
It’s was a good stay at Ben’s except the night because we live in the first area of the hotel and it’s located very close the restaurant where they had loud music with a DJ playing every night. We could hear all the sound through our balcony door and that’s makes us very frustrating when we want to go to bed. Also all the people who was walking passed at night from all the parties that we could here very clearly as well. Overall the hotel location is good and close to everything. And the breakfast buffe was okey, you just need to go there before 9am because then everybody come the last hour and the staff can’t produce the food fast enough so many times we ended up without anything to eat even though we’ve paid for breakfast included in our room price for the whole week.
