About the hotel:
it was an ok place to stay. the room didnt have all that was stated on line, eg a fridge, but never mind! it was clean, but the bed and pillows were not great! was a bit over priced, but then, most of koh tao is!
About the reservation service:
fine, would be better if confirmation was instant, as it took a few trips to an internet cafe to get the confirmation.

About the hotel:
After some other comments that I read, I was a bit nervous about staying at Save Bungalows. I was very impressed when I finally arrived. It is close to the pier which makes it easy for a tired traveler to get there. There are a lot of nice restaurants, bars and shops around. The rooms were clean, spacious and cool.
We had a great time staying there!
About the reservation service:
Everything went smoothly, I have no complaints.

About the hotel:
Perfect Location - right next to the Songserm ferry pier and the beach! Lovely bungalows and good value - we stayed in the basic fan room and it was more than adequate.

About the hotel:
The bungalow was so awful we turned and ran - we never even checked in. Bottom sheet was really dingy, dirty, second-hand, ugly, and mismatched with the second bed. No top sheet, super old blanket. Mae Haad is not a nice area of Koh Tao - it smells like a filthy pier area. I cannot believe you even allow people to book hotels here! I was disgusted and my daughter was horrified. Not only that, it s far more expensive compared to what you can get right next door without even booking ahead of time! I am a very unhappy customer.
About the reservation service:
the booking service was fine. everything went without a hitch. Save bungalow had our reservation, but boy, do I ever regret wasting my money on the deposit.

About the hotel:
The save bungalows on Koh Tao are terrible, they are overpriced and dingy. We booked a 1000 baht bungalow and when we arrived it was dirty, had only a cold water shower and no flushing toilet. The location was also not great as Mae Haad is pretty dingy. We walked over to the otherside of the Island to Chalok Ban Kao, there were a number of accomodation options that were cheaper (600-800 baht) and also far superior. In the end we moved to the Koh Tao Tropicana resort, getting a room with hot shower, TV, DVD player, private balcony and yes a flush toilet for 800 baht.
When we tried to cancel the owner was less than helpful and openly stated he would take two extra night accomodation. Quoting him - You know, for me. Apparently it was for him as the room looked like a cent had never been spent on it.
My advice is therefore DO NOT STAY at the save bungalows, Chalok Ban Kao Bay is beautiful and is what your holiday should be like.
and forget about save bungalows
About the reservation service:
Sawadee provided us with excellent service, even refunding part of our deposit when we cancelled our accomodation.

About the hotel:
These are rather nice bungalows, situated at the southern end of Mae Haad beach, just 15 minutes away from Jansom Bay, where I used to spend my time (snorkeling, swimming). Mae Haad beach is also acceptable (especially if you do not get embarassed by the ships and boats travelling at the sight, a few hundred meters away) for these activities at high tide, till 3 p.m., though. The hotel itself does not provide direct access to the beach, but there are some restaurants on the beach where you can use their services and relax in the sea at the same time. Hotel provides no pool, no breakfasts, but, hey, it is not one of those posh and ridiculously overpriced places too common at Ko Tao, it is more like a guesthouse, but with some hotel-ish peculiarities. I stayed in the bungalow with AC, TV and fridge, and I think that it is well worth the money I paid - it was clean enough, AC worked fine, the bed was okay, too. I know there are guest rooms for a twice as less price almost at the same location, providing the same functionality, but they are close to the road, an it means noise from bikes and cars, so it is up to you to decide. Back to the bungalows, there is a thai style bathroom, and no bathtub, naturally. Bungalows are not very spacious, hold no cabinet or wardrobe, just a bedside-table, so if you used to make your travels with lots of garment and personal items, it is probably not your choice. As for me, I am going to return to this place in my next visit to Ko Tao, most likely.
