I spent one night in The Simple in April of 2022. The host Jackie is wonderful. She is a great guide to the island, helped me arrange transportation to my next destination, and is generally a warm an outgoing person. The Simple is spotlessly clean and the A/C kept me comfortable during the humid Thai summer. Potential guests should know that The Simple isn't particularly close to what most people will be looking for on the island. This isn't necessarily a drawback, since The Simple has mopeds for rent, if you know how to drive them. But, unlike other experiences on Koh Yao Noi, it isn't immediately convenient to beach or water activities. As much as I appreciate minimalism, The Simple's austere concrete construction wound up feeling harsh, at least to me. That said, The Simple could be a great choice, especially if you have specific island activities in mind.
