Lanta Happy House

The owner, Nen, was super helpful and friendly. We loved how quiet the place was, felt like a more "local" experience than some of the other resorts / bungalows we saw. Very good value for money. We liked the hammock. Room was big and AC worked well. Bed was on the firmer side but we liked that.

Location is fine if you have a bike but might not work for some others. It's very rustic, so you need to be ok with bugs!

This was my favourite place we stayed in our whole 6 months of travel! The owner is the sweetest man who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, always offering us fresh fruits etc that he had grown. The bungalows are beautiful and so peaceful, and it felt like real authentic Thailand which we just loved. The property is just down the road from 7eleven, all the main restaurants and both ‘beautiful beach’ and ‘Khong Khlong beach’, but if you’re a solo female traveller or even a couple, a bike is needed as it’s not very well lit, but I think that’s to be expected if you want a peaceful little place, out of the way from all the touristy places. We rented a bike for a super reasonable price off the owner though and felt super safe, the locals waving at us every time we drove past just making our experience perfect. I could not recommend this place more, if you’re in Koh Lanta then you need to stay here!

Nothing, genuinely loved this place.

Very relaxed experience. Owner/manager was nothing but attentive and responsive. From helping us settle to find locations and finally taking care of our whole transportation towards Bangkok. Place was clean and equipped with anything you might need. Even motorbikes for rental. Awesome place. Completely recommended.

Very good value for money

A little way from beach- need a scooter

Very nice room and extremely friendly owner.

- room is very spacious as is bathroom - toilet and shower are separate so the place stays dry - only 5 rooms so it's quiet - the owner, Nen is such a lovely, genuine and helpful guy - having a hammock and private sitting area is nice - nice restaurants and shops are close about 10-15 minutes walk. As with most of Lanta you will want a scooter to get almost anywhere - what you get for the price is incredible, the facilities are very good - having a fridge is great - free filtered water

- Minor: lights in courtyard are quite bright and on all night with thin curtains so it could be quite bright in the room during the night

We very much enjoyed our stay at Lanta Happy House and wish to thank Nen, the proprietor, and his family for the warm welcome. Nen was always available to provide advice, rent us a scooter, drive us in his 3-wheel Tuk-tuk, organize a fishing excursion, a 4-island group excursion and the speedboat journey from Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe and so much more. The room was large and very clean and comfortable. The property has only 3 contiguous rooms on one side and two bungalows on the other side. There are two nice sheltered sitting areas. A great restaurant (Ann's Easy Food) at the bottom of the street (a must for travelers - the food is very good). Nen did everything he could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location is an 8-minute walk to the main road and 12 minutes to Khlong Kong beach. No problem at all for anyone who enjoys walking. Many restaurants and shops on the Main Street and on the beach. After 2 days of our 7-day stay, we rented a scooter from Nen and drove all over the west side of the island. We highly recommend Lanta Happy House to travelers visiting Koh Lanta.

Everything about the accommodation and the proprietor was just as we had read in the reviews. Nothing negative to say about Nen and his property - only positive things!

It’s a family owned/ran small resort of 5 bungalows. We stayed for 4 nights in December. Family of 5 so we rented 3 bungalows. The location is lovely, set back from the beach and restaurants but only a couple of minutes away on the scooters. The bungalows are basic but clean, have large comfortable double beds, decent air con, good sized fridge to stock up beers to enjoy on an evening sitting out on the wooden veranda out in nature. Nen the owner/host was so helpful and friendly, he arranged our transfer and ferry, arranged laundry, hired us scooters, recommended restaurants, beaches to visit.

Nothing

Great stay with a very kind host!
