Ban To Guest House
one of the newest and one of the best

What we say: 
This place is just down the alley from the Chao Fah Guest House, but a spring running down the alley makes it mossy and hard to navigate, so it's better to arrive by going around the block. The guesthouse is brand new, bright orange, and the rooms are clean and colourful with good furnishings and very decent balconies. All the rooms have private baths with hot water. Downstairs there's an area for eating and hanging out that gives it a good guesthouse feel. Ban To is set in a peaceful spot, close to the edge of Krabi where things are still green. It may be one of the newest, but it's already one of the best guesthouses in Krabi.

Clean & Comfortable
Very new, very clean guesthouse set back off the street. Rooms are immaculate and nicely designed. Private Bathroom Balconies Friendly staff (although sometimes a little pushy with the tours) Free WiFi Pick up from the bus station All of the above make for a very good choice of accommodation for the budget traveller who likes their comfort.

great
Suited us really well when we were in krabi, with clean rooms, fairly friendly staff and plenty of tours to choose from (and they really seem to expect you to join some!) however we wanted to do what they were offering so was all good. The food was a bit hit and miss, but we never got ill from it. There seems to be an exceptionally large amount of geckos about the place which add charm and keep the insects down well.

great place
Bright, clean, airy rooms of a hotel standard, but with the friendly staff and relaxed common area you'd expect at a good guest house. Great value. The staff did provide information on tours, but we didn't find them pushy. We booked one trip through the guest house, and found it excellent, and the price was lower than we would have paid if we'd gone to a travel agent in town.

Bad vibe if no tour.
(I've been to Thailand 5 times. My wife and I stayed at the resort for 9 nights.) There are two businesses being run at this place. On the one hand there's the bungalows. They are a good value for the money. The restaurant is above average for a backpackers place. But there is a big catch. The second business is pushing tours. Everyday the 2 managers asked me ''Where are you going today.'' It didn't take long to figure out they weren't interested in what I was doing. They were trying to sell tours. Once we didn't buy one, they turned mean. They wouldn't serve us. They wouldn't look at us. Why do customers owe the managers anything? You have been warned.

A good spot
Cute place, spotlessly clean so maybe they've cleaned up their act. Staff are nutty but nice, and very helpful - they will pick you up from the bus if you call ahead. My only criticism would be that the fan rooms don't have nets on the doors so you either sleep with the doors open (not so secure with three rooms on one balcony) or roast. We opted for the former, and strung our mosquito net up to the fan...

Ban To
Ban To is probably the best guesthouse I have found during my 3 months travelling around Thailand. It is clean and new, the hang-out area is ideal for meeting other travellers and finding information. It is a very warm and friendly place and this is helped by the staff being so friendly and helpful. We met lots of people who keep coming back there because they like it so much. And the food was great, I didn't see anyone get sick there. I was horrified when I read David's review, I think he must be writing about somewhere else.

Ban To Guesthouse
We stayed at Ban To with our 8 month old son, and the staff pretty much adopted him! What wonderful people! Rooms were great, but what really made the place was the people. They give great advice about the surrounding area as well. Highly, highly reccomended.

Ban To
I stayed here in 2007 in two large a/c rooms with my wife and my parents .Apart from a loud TV (at times)not always, this is a good location and close to town.The owners and staff very polite and helpful.The cleaners are excellent, reasonable prices definately worth a stay here.

Ban To
Stayed here three nights. Liked the location, our room was fine, everything worked, but they never cleaned it (we didn't ask for fresh towels, maybe that's what you had to do). We liked the food well enough, the cook was a nice guy. Didn't see or hear about anyone getting sick. They got us transportation to the bus station with our bicycles no problem. Not 'wow' great, but not a bad place to stay, either.

Ignore Martha and Davis, this place is great
I've stayed at Ban To a few times heading to and from the islands and thoroughly enjoyed it. Friendly staff, clean rooms and good location. Regarding the two comments below, I'd suggest they're not authentic. David says he stayed there for 1.5 weeks yet didn't like it and thought the food was bad - why didn't you move David? Martha, leaving $350 in your room is just stupid.

Ban to Guesthouse Krabi
Well looks good from the outside but inside it`s a whole diffrent story. Rooms are not getting cleaned too often. Also there is a waste water ''river'' coming down the hill where you are sitting if you want to eat or drink something. It makes a pretty bad smell and attracts many moskitos. I stayed at this place for about 1,5 weeks and i saw many people become sick from the food they serve. The people who run this place try to act very friendly but it looked pretty fake to me. They only try to sell trips to everybody all the time. Like I said it looks very nice from the outside but if you stay there for a while you going to see many things you dont like.
