Relaxing House Koh Yao Yai

The daugther of the owner very kind

The bungalow is very poor and far from everything,i paid thb 1800 no value for money.I slept there 1 night after that i went in a hotel near a main beach i paid thb 800

Owner family is super friendly and nice. Clean and comfortable rooms. Tasty breakfast is served to your terrace. They also offer scooter for rent.

Very friendly host. Tasty local breakfast. Location in the middle of the island, no beach nearby, but its not a problem if you have scooter (host provide it for additional cost).

Ants, cockroachs, lizards and other unknown siblings in the house and nearby. Tv was not working, wifi signal was low.

We stayed for 4 nights at Relaxing House with our 11 y/o and it was great. Lovely family business from wonderful and caring people. It’s a small operation with only 4 bungalows. The bungalows are spacious and clean and it was great to get breakfast on our balcony every morning. We loved the ‘surprise breakfast’ as it was never just standard eggs and toast but always something more creative. We were also very happy with the scooter we rented from them. They helped us book a trip to Hong Island and also a taxi and ferry ticket back to Krabi. Would definitely recommend!

There are no stores or restaurants within easy walking distance so you do need a scooter to get around. You could potentially get a taxi every time you want to go out but that’s very inconvenient

Communication before arriving, messaged with arrival time at pier and a car was waiting to taxi us to property. Lovely welcome from mother and daughter. Sorted us mopeds straight away at a good rate. This is essential as property is in the middle of the island. Roads were quiet, safe and easy to use. 4 nice, clean but basic bungalows. We were the only guests. We asked for dbl and single to accommodate 3 in same place. Only complaint was from husband saying bed was rock solid. It was very hard but I didn’t mind it. Air con excellent, bathroom clean, shower powerful.

Was worried about the location before arriving but there doesn’t seem to be any area that is the ‘centre’ or busy except where hotels were. Mopeds essential or you can get quad bikes or we saw quite a few side car mopeds too! The freedom you get from mopeds lets you discover the whole island which is what we did.
