Samui Sunrise Seaview Villa

Location, service, very clean

Owner organized bikes for us when we arrived, so we didn't need to search for. He showed us how we can order very fast food and groceries online. He also organized everything for our last day. So that a taxi came and waited for us to bring us to the airport. When we wanted to pay the driver he said that the owner paid already. Nice 👍.

really spacious, cody the host is a nice bloke. pool is nice once you have de-insected it with the net provided. kitchen is fully equipped. living room area is comfortable and larger than average size.

pool is full of insects, insects are roaming around the kitchen sides, check in is supposed to be 2pm but the cleaner didn’t leave until 330pm. table tennis table was damaged and balls pretty unusable. bugs and geko’s were seen inside the house. the location isnt ideal for anywhere really without using a taxi. on arrival we were told some keys had been lost and there were non for the back door. electric cost were just short of 500 baht (£12.50) for around 18 hours of house use of which 8 of those hours were during the night. master bedroom bed smells musky and insects were stuck in the 4 post netting.

Cord is the man

Size of the place is great, most of the rooms we didn’t even use. Pool size is great. Wonderful, helpful host

Need to remember it has been someones home and is alittle rough around the edges (pool tiles loose, cupboards not closing etc) but didn’t impact our stay at all. Couldn’t get the pool clean, everytime we cleaned it, it seemed to get worse. The colour of the tiles doesn’t help, but think the filter should be running a lot more than it did. Stayed three nights, used minimal AC, no TV’s or cooking but the elec bill has still 1300B which surprised us.

Leaving.

Our overall stay wasn't very pleasant. - We booked the villa mainly because of the pool and the privacy to be with our friends during our holiday. The pool was not cleaned when we arrived, we actually had to clean it ourselves, and it got dirty very quickly every day. The pool cleaner did come and clean however it still remained dirty, we didn't end up using it in the end. - There are cameras outside in the pool/sitting area which also didn't make me want to use the pool much either. - The location is fine, but you definitely need a car or scooter to get around. - We had to pay for the electricity usage bill at the end of our stay, which is just bad practice and felt really dodgy. If a guest has to pay for the electricity then the host should just include it in the overall upfront cost for the accommodation. - We returned back to the villa after a long day and were confronted by migration police, which is unsettling as a traveller and its because the host didn't register us as staying at the property.

good location

we paid for 4 bedrooms on the booking only for the host to only give us 2 and make us pay 1000baht cash per room per night for the other bedrooms.
