Loads of space and nicely equipped kitchen. Main bedroom is comfortable with aircon and fan. Our host, Andre was very responsive and kind. Location is good, although you need a motorbike to get around as it is a bit out of the main action.

Outside of main bedroom, the lounge and sitting areas are all out in the open. Very hot and buggy. Without a pool, you must seek a beach to hang out or escape to nicely aircon bedroom. A nice place to stay if you do not mind dealing with the “elements,” although better relative values on beach or with pool can be found.

We really really loved the experience we had at La Cigale! A beautifully designed, cosy tropical villa with comfortable bed, semi-outdoor jungle rainshower and great host. Upon arrival we were surprised it was even better than on the pictures. The location is quiet and definitely recommendable if you are in for a relaxed stay on Koh Tao. The areas around Sairee beach can have loud music in the evenings while a two-minute scooter ride has you away from that in your own little jungle bubble. We were super lucky to be able to stay here due to another guests cancellation and have zero regrets picking this unique place instead of a resort. The warm atmosphere, secluded area and possibility to make your own espresso in the morning (beans provided) made me feel at home and wanting to visit again.

One must appreciate the local fauna eager to pay a visit every now and then. Especially gecko's love the place too.

The property is absolutely gorgeous and I loved the location since it was a nice walking distance away from things but far enough away from all of the people. Andre and stay are absolutely lovely and will help you with whatever you need.

The only real issue lies in if you don’t like creepy crawlers. This is the jungle and the home isn’t sealed, so we had run ins with scorpions, huntsman spiders, armies of ants, and many other bugs.

The quality of the bungalow was much higher than I was expecting! It was beautifully, uniquely furnished, and nestled up in the jungle. The outdoor bathroom is very cool, taking a nature shower never gets old. The host was very helpful for the most part and the pickup/dropoff from the ferry pier (quite far away) was much appreciated, and the other staff helping with bags etc were great. I felt valued as a guest.

Not a huge issue but the role of the host could be explained a bit better - I wasn't sure whether it was supposed to be always available like a hotel concierge or just doing favours for guests sometimes. At a couple of moments during my stay the host wasn't very responsive, in which case it was hard to know if something (taxi, breakfast, etc) was actually confirmed or not. Having breakfast on the terrace was lovely though the breakfast itself was a bit more expensive and only of average quality. Not a negative per se but it's about 20min walk down to Sairee beach, which is good to be aware of.

Great location - walking distance from center but quiet. The owner is one of the nicest people you'll meet, quick to answer whatever question we had and to handle whatever issue. The outdoor shower is such a wonderful experience, and the place is very spacious. It was raining a bit while we were there and a little stream appeared on the walkway to our place which was quite magical. Would definitely stay there again.

Not that much of a view from our cabin, only if you stand at a certain angle, maybe other cabins offer more views. Not their fault and they do their best of course but plenty of mosquitoes. Note that while raining the roof in the outdoor shower was a bit leaky and our towels and stuff did get wet over night. Wifi was extremely spotty so not reliable enough to work from, had to use our hotspot. The access road is quite steep, not for beginners if you ride a scooter.

Everything was great! The room is very comfy and the view stunning. Also, the "outdoor" bathroom is amazing and the TV even has Netflix. It is only a short (but steep!) way down to the beach and restaurants. If you want to walk back at night, take some torches, but André can also help organizing a taxi as well as transfer from the pier. The staff was super nice and the breakfast delicious. Can only recommend!

The mosquito net in the bathroom could net some fixing but it wasn't that bad :)

Everything was excellent! Andre and his wife went far and beyond with making our stay on this magical island as comfortable as possible. We felt welcomed straight away. 😊 The villa itself was everything we ever dreamed of. As it was very rainy and there was lots of bugs, the place was cleaned to perfection every day.

Loved everything and looking forward to returning! 🙏

Beautiful (twin) villa in jungle setting.

Steep road to get to the location. Be careful with scooter!

Amazing house, even better than expected, amazing view from the balcony to the sea, cute squirrels running on the tree branches, such a perfect spot in the true nature.

Andre and partner really took the time to make sure we were OK, and with the extra mile to ensure a perfect stay.
