Homestays in Ko Mak

Awesome owner, and caretaker, that we hung out with. Plus really good food at the Restaurant! And there is so much to do when you stay with these guys :) they showed hikes, boat rides, e-bamboo-bike rent and crafts!

Staying at Dhiang's homestay was unbelievable!! She is the sweetest, kindest person ever, nothing was too much trouble. The homestay was beautiful and stylish and it was a privilege to be part of this boating community for a few days. The beaches are spectacular as are the sunsets.

I loved it, I didn't think I will cos of the location but the bungalow and the view were super nice!. I totally recommend. You will need a scooter to get around though.

It's out of the way, but 5 minutes from one of the beach... in a forest, where you can have a nice birdy awakening... Ama, the manager or owner...(I didn't asked) is so sweet, you will melt... and if you compare to all the another places I stayed on this island, you will understand what I mean.. Simply, the best in 4 places I tried

Great value accommodation in the low season. Its basically a villa with 4 rooms and several open areas and terasses to relax outside.. I stayed for 5 days in the king size bed room with gallant wooden panels with a nice little bathroom. Everything was very clean and the bed very comfy. A Towel and water was provided and you can make your own tea. The place is very quiet and close to the khlong yai keh waterfall and ao khlong mat beach with a few minimarts and restaurants.But I rented a scooter for 250b from them which opened up the entire island. The owner was not there so we had to communicate through booking chat and telephone. But it was really easy and no problem at all. There was also a maid on site to help. Also the two adorable huskies who are living there provide some entertainment and are always up for a pet.

Perfect really! Simple, clean, comfortable, quiet, and more than friendly and welcoming, we felt really good there ! We left only because it was full but we wish we could extend our stay. The central position is really great but you need a motorbike to go around (you can rent one on site)

Lovely staff and very cool location.Clean & comfortable

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.

- Mateoasis has an incredibly friendly owner, who takes care of her guests as a mother. She is always all smiles. - I stayed 8 nights (29 Dec. - 5 Jan.) in a tent. Luckily, it wasn't warm at night. Some nights were even a bit chilly, which was great. If needed, a fan can be provided. - Mateoasis is a wonderful little gypsy camp. It's an ideal spot to meet fellow travellers. - The ferries to Koh Kut land on Tapao Pier, which is only a 10 minute walk from Mateoasis. - Also beautiful Tapao Beach is closeby. - You can rent motorbikes here. - The owner can book onward tickets. - There's a free, tasty breakfast, too! I had a fantastic week here. Thank you very much, Saao, for the great stay! 🙏

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!
