Guest Reviews
- Schneider (1/5): - Nos cancelaron el alojamiento a minutos de entrar
- Pia (1/5): - the swimming pool in front of the sea a room without AC was horrible it was so hot we couldn’t sleep and the bathroom was horrible as well
- Saoirse (5/5): - Cockroaches in bathroom
- Herminio (8/5): Very good -
- Lea (9/5): Beautiful and comfortable - The location was great. It seemed like you had the beach on your own and everything was easy to reach by scooter. Without a scooter it would probably take 15-20 min to reach the nearest supermarkets. Owner helped us right away when we arrived and ordered a scooter for us, same with departure she called a taxi to the pier. Room was comfortable, the best part was the hammock which is where we spend most of our time :) When rainy, bathroom roof leaks a bit but didn’t bother us too much
- Żołędziewska (7/5): Good - Location
Price A bit dirty rooms
Some things not working right - fe. no pipe in the sink (water goes directly to the bathroom floor), a hole in the bathroom wall plugged with a rug)
- Amber (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sam (10/5): beautiful, clean, memorable - loved the pool and beach front so pretty!
- Dona (1/5): Disappointing Stay with Poor Hygiene and Facilities - There was a cockroach in our room, even crawling near our heads. I attempted to contact the management to ask if they had conducted pest control but received no response. Even after we checked out, there was still no reply.
Additionally, the facilities were subpar and in need of renovation, making the stay not worth the price. We also struggled to sleep properly as the flat sheets had an unpleasant odour.
- Oliver (10/5): Exceptional -
- Darren (9/5): Superb -
- Kirstie (3/5): Wouldn’t recommend - The staff were friendly The room was beyond dated, we didn’t expect much but it was much worse than we thought. The room was dark and the flooring was ripping and tore. It was a good 15 minute drive from the centre. The pool looked awful and the bar wasn’t open once when we were there.
- Xanthe (1/5): Didn’t even stay the night was so bad - Bugs everywhere. Huge cockroaches. My bed was full of tiny little bugs and there were bugs coming out the walls in the bathroom. Bad smell
- Anderle (4/5): Disappointing - Bats in the bangaloo
- Simon (8/5): Very good -
- Joe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (6/5): Cheap stay and nice beachfront. - The property is clean and quiet, conveniently close to the pier and all shops.
Beach front and a nice pool.
It’s cheaper than avg accommodations but the place has seen better days. If you’re the kind of traveller that doesn’t care about certain things this place might be for you.
-no restaurant
-bungalows could use a paint job inside
-only 1 person attending the property Seems to lack some property management but it works and is affordable.
- Antti (7/5): Good - the bungalows are 20m from the beach and 10m from a beautiful pool with very nice views. the owner was very helpful and nice. the bungalows were only ok because of the closeness to the beach. i had a bed spring scratch my leg and the rooms were kinda outdated and somewhat dirty. but because of the beach, everything was acceptible and thank you for the very nice host/owner.
- Duggan (9/5): Superb - location it's right on the beach so perfect ! the staff were lovely there wasn't any aircon in our room just a fan which was very hot
- Ilona (9/5): Superb - On our Thailand trip about half of the time we stayed in a bit cheaper places costing 15-25 euros and some days in more luxury places. So Munchies was one of the budget options and I thought it was the best on our 3 week trip. Sure the bungalow is very simple, but there was hot water, plenty of shelves for our stuff, outlets with electricity for charging and a very nice hammock on the porch and it's right on the beach! The restaurant wasn't open when we were there, but we found an excellent place for breakfast, called Ruang Rom Thai food (main dishes only 50-70 THB), you can get there from the beach side, passing the kite school in 5 minutes. Considering the price, this is an excellent accomodation!
- Daniel (10/5): Excellent value for money. - It is a nice and quiet location right on the beach. I think it was great value for the money. The staff was incredibly friendly. I will come back again... Only one towel for two people
- Shawn (7/5): Good - Location, pool and staff!! Basic rooms
- Netanel (8/5): Stellar value for money - Right on private stretch of beach, beautiful sunset. Great infinity pool. Lovely staff.
- Stefan (6/5): Budget option if you dont care about the cleanliness that much. The location is amazing though! -
- Walsh (1/5): As a result of the images not being a true representation of the property, we felt we could not stay - N/A Pictures online weren’t an accurate representation of the property. There was a bad odour of mould in the room.
The room and bathroom weren’t especially clean.
As a result of the above reasons, we felt we could not stay at this location and booked into alternative accommodation.
Overall experience was very disappointing.
- Cece (1/5): Terrible place with rude owners who took advantage of people wanting a nice Christmas holiday. - Anything positive about my experience was not due to the property or the owners. Old and worn bungalows with holes covered by tape. The pool is old and dirty and there is no pool bar. There are no facilities and it is difficult to find any staff or anyone who can help. Water was out for a day and no one let us know what was happening. They are going to tear the bungalows down, they do not care about the guests, they only want you to pay for their future business. The worst hospitality I have ever experienced in Thailand.
- Rona (9/5): Superb -
- Lorenzo (7/5): A perfect Thai atmosphere, by the beach, nice resort, facilities can be improved -
- Dina (6/5): Pleasant - Okay, I loved that my bungalow was right on the beach, so beautiful. It’s just not what the pictures show. Very outdated and dilapidated… just for the amount you’re paying, you could stay in a nicer place. The location was not good for me as I don’t drive a scooter. It’s very far from everything.
- Arbulu (10/5): Best - Best Best
- Marco (10/5): Exceptional - Madame is Super, also swimmingpool front ocean
- Antonio (10/5): Nice hut on the beach - Lovely hut literally on the beach, nice little pool surrounded by threes.The lady was super kind and helped me get a scooter for cheap. I loved the place. My hut was old, not the cleanest bathroom I've seen. For the price I paid I don't complain.
- Campbell (1/5): Disgusting - Nothing, we stayed one night and then left because it was so bad, we had paid for multiple nights but didn’t want to stay in such a dirty place Mouldy room, mouldy bed, broken floor, wet bed sheets, disgusting
- Thorat (9/5): Superb -
- Khaled (7/5): Good -
- Rhiannon (1/5): Never given my promist refund - The location The staff and owner suggested I cancelled my second room and spoke with me f2f. I pointed out that the terms and conditions were non refundable however they had said they were happy to honour the refund. I cancelled the one booking and stayed in the second hut. If they had told me that I couldn’t have had a refund I would have used both beach huts. Booking.com has tried to ring the property multiple times and has sent several emails to get the information from the property to issue the refund however the property has not responded. This is now two months later. Whilst they were helpful initially and very helpful whilst we were staying onsite I feel the property lacks integrity and honesty. I have left it two months to give the property multiple chances to issue the refund before leaving this review
- Rhiannon (10/5): Fantastic beach front hut with swimming pool - Lovely pool and setting. I wanted a simple beach hut in a nice location which is exactly what this accommodation offered. The staff were helpful and gave good information regarding the local area. Was surprised to get air conditioning and that was a bonus. I would really recommend this to other travellers and would love to go back again Staff suggested cancelling my extra room and I’m still waiting on the refund a month later
Could get a small fridge in the rooms
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shmuel (7/5): Good - It was a beautiful property with a nice pool No a/c in the rooms
- Cintia (10/5): Beautiful and peaceful - Beautiful place in a quite location, swimming pool and ocean view.
It doesn't have fridge or kettle to heat water. It is only a simple room. But very nice one. The location is a bit far from everything, you might have to rent a bike.
- Prateek (4/5): Disappointing - Huts were near to the beach In my booking it says "Your unit comes with air conditioning" but I got the room with just a wall fan. Room was too hot in the afternoon and not comfortable at all for a stay if you are sober.
- Stefano (10/5): Exceptional - Peaceful place, 45 seconds to the paradise beach, also a swimming pool and staff super friendly. Super recommended
- Evelyn (8/5): Very good -
- Rosalind (10/5): Definately reccomend - Lovely owner, they arranged scooter rent for us on arrival. The pool was great- very clean and large and also areas around it to sunbathe etc. Bungalow was good, nothing to complain about considering the cheap price. Water pressure good in shower. Great location too. nothing !
- Rachael (10/5): Exceptional - You would never think to find something so quiet, peaceful, and beautiful in Koh Phangan. This place is perfect if you want a few days chilling by the pool, relaxing in a hammock, or admiring the beach view. We loved it here! Also recommend Ruang Rom Thai restaurant which was our favourite cheap Thai restaurant when here and can walk to from the beach!
- Chris (7/5): Good - Rite on beech nice view from the hut ,i would not describe them as bunglows,hired a scooter at port to get there easy to find ,had a large pool, but did not use reason below Very basic, but for what u pay was OK. Just fan does get hot in hut ,did not use pool never saw it cleaned in 4 days there other guest arrived and then straight away went in pool no shower by pool before u enter, not higenic,,decided not to use 😑,
- Dinara (9/5): Superb - The bungalow is located right on the beach in a very cozy, quiet place. Can’t say that the bungalows are very comfortable, but everything was good for its price.
- Pauline (4/5): Disappointing -
- Lydia (4/5): Disappointing - Way overpriced for what you get. The bungalows are basic at best (roof and sides caving in, no bed linen, poor air con, no fridge) and the bathroom is so dangerous (slippy) when wet (which it is most of the time!) We only saw the owner for check in and that was it. Restaurant was never open nor were drinks available to buy. The pool and beach were nice but your money would be much better spent elsewhere. We've also since complained through booking.com and the property have completely ignored all communications (no surprise there)..
- Silvia (6/5): Pleasant - Cozy quiete place front beach with a nice clean swimming pool, the thai lady is very kind.
Stunning sunsets!! Unfortunately the bed was really uncomfortable definitely need new mattress or topper
- Lucy (10/5): Would highly recommend this property to anyone! - The bungalows are right on the beach such a beautiful location we had a view of the beach from our window.
The staff were so helpful and friendly we absolutely loved our stay. Very peaceful place you get so much for you money. Nothing it was brilliant.
- Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Clarke (7/5): Good - The scenary and quietness No ac
- Peri (6/5): You better consider!!! - It is at a desolate location.
Near nowhere.
No restaurant. Nothing.
It's a peaceful location & that's the ONLY positive thing I might say. It's extremely shabby. Old. Unaltered.
Completely neglected.
It's pictures are sort of a sham.
They give a blanket without a sheet to cover it. Quite dirty.
Very carefree & primitive.
I am amazed at their grade & positive reviews. People should be very compassionate & nice!!!
I would not suggest it.
- Jagna (10/5): The best place we’ve been to in Thailand, very real, comfy and beautiful. Thank you! - The bungalows are right on the beach. There was aircon in our room, a cute hammock outside just for us and good wifi. I LOVED the pool. It was clean, with a beautiful view of the sea. I loved that it was peaceful during both day and night, like we would be there alone. Amazing place! The only thing i didn’t like was the bathroom in our bungalow, there was no window inside and it would get very very hot inside.
- Fabio (1/5): no bang for the buck - nothing The bungalow is a hut in dire need of refurbishing, the basics, such as a closet, or a space to hang clothes aren't there. The floor of the bungalow feels like is about to collapse when you walk on it. All in all the place doesn't offer value for the price it charges.
- Valerie (10/5): Exceptional - right on the beach. so cute and simple. wish i could have stayed longer. owner gave me a ride to new hotel
- Ashlee (7/5): We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for two nights. - Amazing location, right on the beach with a the best pool. The host was the friendliest we have come across! Went above and beyond and organised lots of transport for us. Very very kind lady and always happy to help. No air con is a struggle as bungalows get white hot. Bathroom could be updated but okay!
- Anir (8/5): Very good -
- Paul (2/5): Very poor - The beach next to the bungalow is very nice for sunsets. Old run-down bungalow with spaces everywhere for all types of critters to enter. Not comfortable. No staff to be found anywhere when needed. It's not possible to walk at night from the bungalow on the roads or beach due to aggressive dogs everywhere. Way over-priced for what it was. Never again.
- Susanne (1/5): Never eve again! - Nothing I left the resort after the first night, what I never did before. There was no reception, no nothing and everything in very bad shape. Never ever again!
- Phensiri (7/5): Easy no fuss with bungalow right on the beach. - Shower, Fan works well, location and swimming pool. No restaurant
- Vivien (10/5): Exceptional - the location and stuff were super nice!
- Beatrice (7/5): Good -
- Rebekah (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, Great pool, The host was so lovely!- organised us taxis to full moon party and at the end of our stay and really looked after us.
- Amanda (9/5): Very simple but nice and covered the basics - Amazing lady that managed the grounds and bungalows. Very nice views and right on the beach with lots of different bars and restaurants nerby.
- Jasysyn (7/5): Very Helpful Friendly Lady Runs the Property - This property is located on the beach beautiful views of the sea.
There was only one woman in charge of the whole property and she worked hard she was very nice but looked overwhelmed for running the whole property herself she was very helpful very friendly and took good care of us This property had no restaurant or bar on sight but we rented motorbikes to get around which made it easy to get around to food and entertainment
No fridge in the bungalow also the bungalow we stayed in was in need of updating
- Vera (7/5): Good -
- Pete (4/5): Disappointing -
- Maya (3/5): Massive Cockroach-Problem after Waterpipe-incident - Nice Location, litte clean pool and lovely garden directly on the beach. Calm/ quiet guests. Outdoor area was clean. The friendly owner with her superweet little daughter did what she could to manage the resort all alone. "Regular Hut with vent" has its best times behind it. It was moldy, the souterrain bathroom-floor never dried.
Then a Water Pipe exploded in the bathroom-wall at night. The Bamboo-walls where completely soaked with water, the sink broke partially off, walls were completely wet. We had some cockroaches before, but after the water incident the cockroach-problem got insane. There where at least 4 at the bathroom jumping at us. Nothing helped to drive them back: Clapping, noise, light, flashlights. They were everywhere and aggressive. We fled to a hotel.
Bar/restaurant was closed the whole time.
- Dimitris (10/5): In and out of City beachfront paradise - Perfect location. Everything was great!
- Megan (8/5): Very good - Great little bungalow on the beach!! Might not be for everyone but a nice spot steps from the water Was a like far from shops, cafe and restaurants but a scooter solved that problem
- John (7/5): Great spot close to the beach for a great price. - The bungalow are close to the beach and all faces the pool. The place is worth it the price of the staying The bungalows are a little dated. They need some renewal and fixer up.
- Sunida (8/5): Very good -
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - The pool in the middle was a nice touch and the owners had a little kid which was super cute. Asking for help was the best idea because the owner was super helpful and very nice and understanding! there was nothing i didn’t like.
- Maria (5/5): Passable -
- James (9/5): Superb -
- Jay (8/5): Very good -
- Iesha (9/5): Superb -
- April (4/5): Good view in front of the ocean with an amazing pool, but very uncomfortable to sleep. - I liked the pool and the fact that it was right in front of the beach. Very uncomfortable bed.
No A/C
No mosquito nets available.
Photos of the property were misleading (no restaurant or bar)
- Alexandra (5/5): Perfect for 1 night - Had a pool in front and beach very close, very authentic experience Bugs nearly everywhere, shower walls had holes in them for ventilation but you could see people walking by so at night you can assume you can also be seen
- Himanshu (8/5): Very good -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Karolina (7/5): Good for short stay - Only stayed fo one night for the full moon party. Great location and nice staff Very basic facilities
No air con
Trouble with checking in later at night - phone on booking not working
- Shaun (8/5): Great little place - Nice beachside location, lovely little pool and very nice, helpful staff. The mattress was a bit lumpy.
- Kumar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kumar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Areerat (10/5): Exceptional -
- Omri (1/5): Never go there! - Nothing good! The most terrible hostel! The staff was extremely rude. There was a problem with electricity and the water in the showers . The manager told us to shower in the pool. The room was stinky!!!
- Artem (9/5): Superb -
- Alexandtraveling (9/5): Superb - Very good location in front of the quiet beach
Good swimming pool in the front of the house Yeah the facilities in the room based on the price
anyway I love it islander style
- Katie (1/5): Bad -
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mario (5/5): So disappointing… - beside the pool, not much! There was no food service nor bar as shown in the pictures for the time of our stay.
So for a travelers who just wanted to relax by the beach… forget it.
This is definitely false publicity.
They said it was low season and owner was not there. Room was full booked thought. If you run a place and go on holiday then you should close it if you can’t run it properly.
Bed very uncomfortable, could feel the spring….
there was no net on window so had to keep it close at night.
now one was there on the morning we leave, so i had to go on the street 10 minutes walk to get a taxi at 7:30 in the morning by myself.
No thank you…
there are no water on the beach because of low tide, so no swiming in the sea.
My toilet was quiet dirty and could see a dark circle in the bowl…
Really it was very disappointing stay, by luck we discover another beach with better resort for the next time we come.
i booked bungalow for two nights there because of nice reviews… there is much better choice out there, probably would had been nice if there had been food service because the pool and location are great.
But really if you can’t run it close it for the time you are out that will show a little respect for the customers or at least give us a choice before get our credit card charge.
- Jason (6/5): Pleasant -
- Amy (7/5): Good -
- Jesse (8/5): Very good - The beach cabins and pool were beautiful. It was absolutely gorgeous staying there. It was quite a long walk to get to the nearest restaurant. Even just getting bottled water was quite a journey. I would recommend hiring motorbikes.
- Rachael (7/5): Great value for money, on the beach - It was on the beach As it’s low season it was very quiet and the bar wasn’t open
- Vanina (8/5): good for the price - The place is really quiet to enjoy, is front row of the beach. We have to change rooms and the second the fan was not to strong, so during the day was hot.
- Polina (4/5): Disappointing -
