Guest Reviews

• Max (6/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr, sehr ruhig direkt am Strand gelegen. Außer ein paar andere Resort gibt es in näherer Umgebung nichts weiter. Das Zimmer war angenehm groß, wobei der wasserdruck zum duschen kaum vorhanden war.
• Patrick (10/5): Great location right on the beach, good vibes - great location, right the beach, with very nice views. The hotel is funky (the rooms are old ship containers for example), but confortable, clean and extremely friendly. The restaurant within the hotel serves good Thai food at ridiculously low prices, and the tables are directly on the beach (your feet in the sand, under the trees). I stayed there quite a few times, and thought it was quite a good deal.
• Verified traveler (6/5): レストラン利用がオススメ - 部屋に入り手を洗おうとすると水が出なかったのですぐにオーナーに伝え、しばらくしてから水が出るようになりました。部屋はコンテナで出来ており防音性はなく、室内に冷蔵庫はありません。シャワーの水圧が著しく弱くチョロチョロしか出ない為シャンプーの泡を流すのに苦労しました。レストランは素晴らしいロケーションでスタッフもフレンドリーで良かったです。プールがないので近隣の施設と比べると見劣りしますが、道向かいにファミリーマートがあり便利でした。歩けない距離（車で5分）ではないリパノイピアまでの送迎は300Bでした。
• Markus (8/5): Ruhiges Hotel direkt am Lipa Noi Beach - Wir waren für eine Nacht dort. Bei Ankunft gab es ein Willkommensdrink und wir konnten das Zimmer beziehen. Das Zimmer und das Bad waren geräumig und sauber. Die Lage direkt am Strand und die Einrichtung des Restaurants sorgten für eine coole Atmosphäre. Obwohl man unser Zimmer mit einem Vorhängeschloss abschließen konnte, komnte man an einer anderen Stelle die Schiebetür weiterhin ohne Schlüssel öffnen da der Verschluss an der Stelle kaputt war. Es gab zwar einen Safe, der war aber nicht befestigt und damit nutzlos. Da wir nur für eine Nacht da waren hat uns das aber nicht weiter gestört.
• Jan & Maxi (10/5): Strandparadies - Wir hatten den Container mit Seeblick und sind für 2 Nächte geblieben.
• Traveler (6/5): Nice, but overpriced accommodation and restaurant - The concept is nice, containers turned into rooms. Rooms are spacious, good bed, good AC, good wifi. Horrible, outdated bathrooms which feel like it's outside because of the gaps between walls and ceiling. Insects and especially mosquitoes are everywhere in bathroom. Lock on room does not feel very safe. Location is near pier, but for other restaurants or activities it's a bad location. Quite a walk to other places and there are no lights along the road so dangerous to walk anywhere in dark. It kinda forces you to eat at the Think & Retro restaurant. Prices in restaurant are too high. Overall very overpriced. Payment with credit card went wrong. Machine kept saying it couldn't charge so I ended up booking and paying online with Expedia. Later that night I saw on my bank App that I ended up paying 5 times! Had to call my bank from Thailand to rectify this, not something you want to worry about while on holiday..
• Stuart (6/5): - Nice place loved all the repurposed items
• Verified traveler (8/5): Peaceful Beach Hotel w/ Eco Vibe in your own Oasis - So glad I moved this this spot after being in Mae Nam. Peaceful, beautiful beach that's not overrun with people. Even the streets leading to Lipa Noi are quiet and not overdeveloped. You can see the beach and tropical plants right from your room, wake up and relax at the cafe. Truly a perfect place for relaxation. Live music (but not raucous) on some nights and a gorgeous sunset as it faces the west. It is eco-certified in a sense of the utilities and the reuse of shipping containers for building materials. Love the vibe. Cute cats wander through if you like cats, but everything's open and airy (so you dont have to like cats haha). Note- the water of Samui is not that clear, and this area was the same -- not the fault of the hotel, I just wouldnt recommend Samui for the water/swimming in Gulf. This place is a breath of fresh air compared to the cookie cutter north and east of Samui. The only thing I ask is the hotel not carry advertisements for the tiger and elephant attractions on Samui-- besides cruel, they are often associated with wildlife crime. It would complete the mission of the hotel to not recommend those kinds of tourist activities. For the most part they advertise kayaking and snorkeling- much better! And you can kayak from this beach. There are also fishing boats (long boats) here- which are not common to see on other beaches on Samui.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Interessante Location, direkt am Strand - Frühstück schwach, grade mal ein Tee gratis (in Bangkok in € 27.- Doppelzimmer Tee, Kaffee, Wasser unbegrenzt gratis verfügbar). Es gibt 2 Bungalows am Strand, unbedingt einen dieser beiden buchen, die anderen 6 liegen nicht attraktiv zwischen Straße und Parkplatz. Personal sehr freundlich und bemüht.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Séjour - Séjour agréable tant que vous consommez chez eux... peu de voiture qui passe, il faut forcément prendre un taxi privé pour bouger
• jerome (10/5): Super - Nous avons passé une seule nuit, mais cet endroit est super sympa!!! tout est fait à partir de récupération, des fauteuils en ancien fut ou pneu... les chambres en container... et tout cela les pieds dans l'eau ! le port est à 5 minutes en tuk tuk
• Bernhard (8/5): Containerhotel, aber wunderbar gemacht - Das Hotel liegt gleich am Strand, unserer Container hatte sogar direkten Meerblick. Wenig Zimmer, dadurch eine sehr heimelige Atmosphäre. Die Atmosphäre ist toll, alles besteht aus recycelten Materialen was uns sehr gefiel. Es war alles sauber und für thailändische Standards in gutem Zustand. Die Zimmer gehören zu einem Restaurant, wo es auch jeden Tag Frühstück am Strand gab. Das inkludierte Frühstück ist entweder amerikanisch (Toast+Würstchen/Speck) oder Thailändisch (Reiscongee und Früchte), könnte allerdings mehr Optionen enthalten, nach ein paar Tagen wurde es langweilig. Allgemein würde ich empfehlen, fürs Essen ein bisschen die Straße entlangzugehen, dort ist es günstiger und besser. Die Zimmer an sich waren aber toll und sehr empfehlenswert.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Unique bungalows on beach front - Fantastic first two nights in koh samui..after travelling around Thailand for our honeymoon this was the first place to up grade our room for free to a sea view, which when you wake up in the morning is amazing! Breakfast was great on the beach and the menu and cocktails were perfect! The only bad thing was that we only booked 2ngts could of stayed longer the beach and sea was so clean and it was a quiet and tranquil side of samui which was still unspoilt from tourist....definately a good find.
• jin (10/5): 点评 - 老板人非常的好，只是这个地方离市区太远太远了，之前我们没有找到路，去超市走了很久很久都没有找到，结果去超市的路在另一条路上，这家有自己的海滩，很方便，我们虽然不是住的海景房，但是从房间到海滩不到1分钟的路程，超级方便，而且这家也有自己的吃的，咖啡，小吃，而且环境很好很好，这是我在苏梅岛住得最舒服最满意的一家酒店，下次有机会还会来的，对了，这个地方离苏梅机场打车需要一个小时哟！
• Verified traveler (6/5): 静かに海辺で過ごしたい人向け - 静かに海辺で過ごしたい人向けサックからの船がリパノイに着くとわかっていたので、宿を絞ってここに決めた。 海が目の前のコンテナーハウスに３泊。植え込みの向こうはすぐ砂浜、絵になる。健康的な環境で、例えば、幼児連れで滞在して一日中遊ばせておくのに最適。夜静かで周辺には何もない。あまりにも何もないので、散歩に出ても拍子抜けするくらい。チャウエンビーチの喧騒に比べたら同じ島とは思えないほど落ち着くので、静かに過ごしたい人にお勧め。オーナーの女性も感じが良い。 砂浜のテーブル席での食事はとても美味しい！ただ、やはり島価格なので、私達はレンタルバイクで町に出て行って朝昼は地元の食堂で食べたりした。 部屋は清潔。湯沸かしや冷蔵庫のないのが残念だった。サンセットは見られません。
