Balcony Villa Koh Tao 

We stayed at Balcony Villas for 13 nights whilst on Koh Tao. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, our cases carried up to our room. Our room was very clean and well decorated, a huge comfortable bed, tv, fridge, armchair, en suite bathroom, air con, kettle and balcony furniture. There was no hairdryer but I mentioned this to the owner, the very next day one arrived. Nothing was too much trouble. We had asked for a sea view which meant we were high up! 100 steps to be exact. This was ok for us as we enjoy the challenge and the view of the ocean from my bed every morning was very much worth the climb. We did not receive a daily maid service which to begin with I thought a bit strange, however, we didnt need it. We were asked each day if our room needed cleaning. I consider this to be an advantage, I don't always like having staff in my room each day and it's a waste of resources. Well done Balcony Villas. We hired scooters from the owner which were very reasonable and made getting around much easier. Helmets were also supplied and we only had to provide a copy of our passport. Some of the rental places in Sairee keep your passport. The dog at Balcony Villas barked at us to be begin with but soon accepted us, a friendly little fellow. I would strongly recommend staying here if you like a quieter place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the beach area, fab views and warm welcoming staff. We also booked our return ferry through the owner who then offered us a taxi service to the pier. Overall, a great place to stay in Sairee.
