Guest Houses in Ko Mak

I had a great time here. The location is very central, close to some great restaurants (such as Pak Pak Vegan Food) and also right on the beach. It's definitely a great base for exploring the island, and you can also rent a bicycle at the property (the whole island is very easy to cycle around). The Wi-Fi was pretty good — I was able to stream a movie and also watch some short videos. The room was very clean, and the bed was super comfy. I also appreciated that I could refill my bottle with free drinking water. As for the staff, they were super nice and they also helped me book a boat to Koh Kood and arrange a taxi. If you come here, make sure to visit the beach at Seavana resort too — the sunsets there are spectacular (it's about a 15-minute walk from BaanYai).

What an authentic experience. Deng immediately made us feel at home. Even inviting us to join her going to the temple etc. She is an incredibly generous and polite person. Can’t thank her enough for the many memories we collected during our 3 days stay. The Homestay is pricier than others but in my opinion worth every cent. The house is beautifully located on the canale only a short stroll from the speed boat pier. She also assisted us getting a scooter (which was even fully fueled up when we got it) amd she gave us many tips on where to go on the island.

Great plac, helpful and kind stuff. Very clean and comfortable rooms!

Excellent bed. Nice environment.

We originally booked just two nights because we were a bit unsure – mainly due to the limited number of reviews and the fact that it’s called a “hostel.” But we ended up extending our stay by another four nights and had a wonderful time! The few reviews are simply because the place only opened last year. The term “hostel” is actually a bit misleading – there are just three private single rooms (with shared bathrooms), so it’s much quieter and more private than you might expect. The host also plans to build a shared dorm on the other side of the building in the future. One of the best things is the price – it’s very affordable compared to most other places on Koh Kood. Despite the low cost, everything was always clean, especially the bathroom. The host was super friendly and always responded quickly to messages. There’s a fridge and a small kitchenette with dishes downstairs in the shared area. Each room has a shelf for your stuff and a fan, and the doors are fitted with extra insect screens. (If you’re sensitive to bugs, you might want to bring a mosquito net – there’s room to hang one over the bed.) We had one of the two rooms upstairs and loved the terrace – it was perfect for hanging our hammock and gym rings, and we had plenty of space to dry clothes. Every evening, a few tokay geckos would show up, which – as you might know – are considered good luck in Thailand! The location is also great – relatively quiet, with a few restaurants, small shops, a laundry, and a pharmacy all nearby. Ao Taphao Beach is just 1.5 km away, and the whole island is easy to explore by scooter, which you can rent directly from the host at a fair price. In short: this is a budget-friendly place that delivers exactly what it promises. If you’re looking for more luxury, you’ll probably need to spend a bit more. But for what it is, we thought it was great – and we really don’t understand the negative reviews!

Silent spot in the jungle. Matteo is very attentive, helpful and friendly host. Very rich breakfast. Beach and fisherman's village in 2 minutes by motorbike. Motorbikes are directly available with the house.

I want to add, that this hoster makes literaly the best breakfast on the island. So if were not lucky enought to book the house , make sure to arrive for the breakfast, honestly the best bannana pancakes!:) We stayed here 2 nights and then arrived for breakfast each morning after check out while in Koh Kood

Modern, clean, very friendly and helpful.

It was an amazing stay. Lovely place and best for people who are looking for an relaxing stay. Not to many people around but enough bars to get something to eat nearby.

Yak the owner runs a lovely friendly bungalow operation, even turning into BBQ King for guests on request. Cooked fabulous white snapper with baked potatoes. The bungalows are proper old school, with good ventilation and a fan. Gecko's come as standard. Beds are comfortable with really good mosquito nets, which allow sound sleeping, bug free.
