Guest Reviews

Helle Sylvest (8/5): Afslappet atmosfære - Dejligt roligt sted ved vandet. Meget nede på jorden sted. Vær opmærksom på at der absolut ingen strand er og ingen liggestole. Ok sted at snorkle når alle longboat er ude på tur. Dejlig rummelig hyttet, fint med ventilator i loftet (der er ingen aircondition). Fin restaurant med godt Menukort, morgenmaden er ikke så spændende. Meget søde og hjælpsom personale.
Markus (10/5): - Very nice accommodation and quiet! Friendly staff and great massage! All in all a perfect place to stay!
Chris (8/5): A cool place with great staff. - Cabins were clean and tidy on arrival, the staff were also super helpful, probably the best service we received in Thailand. The cafe on the beachfront was really nice, proper tasty food and drinks. Great location, 5 minute walk to Walking street and right on the beach. When we booked this initially our thought was ‘how bad can it be without AC’ for a few nights. For us, it was a bit unbearable, really struggled to sleep while we were here, I can’t hold that against Castaways as we knew before we booked but it’s something you need to consider. On the final day there was a whole bunch of ants that had invaded toilet and I woke up covered in bites that weren’t from mosquitos, not sure what they were but wasn’t very nice. After noticing the bites we took the bed covers up to check for bed bugs and it was kinda gross, not sure how often they change the mattress topper sheet underneath.
Claudia (10/5): - It‘s so wunderful on a beatyful location
Kwok (8/5): - Overall I enjoyed my stay at the resort. Positives for me was that it was quiet/peacful, there were plenty of helpful and friendly staff and it was a good location. I enjoyed waking up early and listening to the birds sing. The immediate beach area is nice too although I wish there were less boats there for safety reasons. I thought the restaurant and bar was very good, reasonably priced with lots of options. Would prefer them to have some healthy breakfast options like granola and smoothie bowls. The only option was muesli which wasn’t very nice. Unfortunately there are a few things you should be aware of if you book here. There is no hot water, no aircon (not an issue for me as it was breezy), no WiFi and the mobile signal is very poor. Also, it’s quite dark on the ground floor in the cabins, so I actually had difficulty shaving as my vision is not the best. The stairs is a tiny bit steep and the steps are small if you have mobility issues, just something to be aware of.
Søren (8/5): Massage i verdensklasse fra egne massører - Dejligt og hyggeligt sted. Vær opmærksom på ingen aircondition og ingen varmt vand. Alt andet virkelig godt.
Erica (10/5): Great! - We loved it! Friendly and helpful staff and really cozy bungalow. Will definitely book again if I return to the island.
Patrick (8/5): - Loved it
Sara (6/5): Fint, men lyhört och myggor. Ej prisvärt. - Mysig och ”instagram friendly” resort med djungel-vibe. Tyvärr blev sömnen lidande. Bungalows har ingen AC (vilket vi missade när vi bokade) men fick en extra fläkt som hjälpte lite. Det är lyhört och på kvällen hörs både hundar och mopeder. På morgonen väcks man 4:30 av tuppar och andra fåglar. Öronproppar hjälper lite. Sköna sängar med myggskydd vilket behövs då växtligheten utanför lockar mycket mygg. Vi använde inte hängmattorna på altanen pga detta. Man kunde dock få myggspray i receptionen. Restaurangen är mysig med fin soluppgång och skön vind på kvällen. Servicen är ok men många pratar dålig engelska. Frukosten är ok, ingår inte. Vi bodde på två andra resorts på ön som var bättre och billigare.
Noel (6/5): - Beautiful but bare bones and rustic resort in Koh Lipe. Wonderful staff and dining options. No Air Conditioning or hot showers made it challenging though. The beach area is also crowded and very loud because of long tail boat traffic.
Tommy (4/5): - Hvis man har været på Koh Tao for 20 år siden, ja så er der ramt plet med Castaway. Ingen aircondition, ingen køleskab, ingen frisk drikkevand og koldt vand i hanen. Ingen strand. Bar lukker 2245, og de påbegynder afrydning kl 2200. Ingen afhentning ved færge/speedbåd. Alt i alt ringe
Neel (8/5): - Dejligt hotel og venligt personale
Maurice (8/5): - We liked the dining and communal area which always had a refreshing breeze. The staff were super-attentive and the menu for food and drink was really good value. The view over the ocean with its blue and jade colours and traditional sailing boats is to die for and the memory will carry me through the cold European winter. Our cabin was set back from the sea which was a shame and the fan was really needed. Remember to take insect repellent with you, as the mosquitoes were ready to sting.
Thomas (8/5): - it’s a lovely property, with a very relaxed feel - Nice food options, spa and water activities all available on site. The Only real challenge is the mosiquitos at late afternoon/early evening - but there are plenty of spray (just didn’t work for me).
Sophie (8/5): - J’ai bien apprécié l’endroit. Le seul moins pour moi était le manque d’eau chaude pour la douche.
Julie Ancher (6/5): - Fed strand men mange longtailboats der larmer, god restaurant og vibes på hotellet. Sødt personale. Bungalow og inventar i dårlig stand, dårlig seng, vand fra bruser løber direkte ud af huset ned på jorden, ikke særlig miljøvenligt. Ventilation/fan kunne kun blæse i bestemt retninger, så man fik kun intervaller med luft om natten, derfor ekstremt varmt. Men ellers virkelig dejligt hotel med lækre udendørs faciliteter og restaurant / chill område (hippie vibes) - bedste bananpandekager og coconut iced latte!
THOMAS (10/5): - The staff here are so attentive, everything was perfect!
ann mary (10/5): - This hotel was so beautiful and perfect for my Koh Lipe experience. Staff was amazing, friendly, kind and helpful in all respects!
Sam (10/5): - On the water, with no steep steps to climb like other Lipe properties, this Zen den delivers on friendliness, quality food, and prime location. Thanks Ang and others! Sam
Andrew (8/5): - The food, staff and location were great. The rooms though were very hot and they need to put in proper ceiling fans as the ones they have do not get the job done. Also, some wi-fi in the rooms would be good.
Nick (8/5): Rustic and authentic castaway - Rustic it certainly is. Prime location on sunrise beach, and close walking distance to everything. We had a beach breezy which was worth it. If you're ok with no pool and no AC then this is exactly as you'd expect as a castaway
Andrew (6/5): Overpriced, mosquito infested, but good bar - It’s hard to get away from the feeling that Castaway are selling $10 huts for $100. No AC, lots, and I mean LOTS of mosquitoes, nets with holes in them, ineffective plug in mosquito killer… No fridge (eco, remember?) but still charge for ice… The food was excellent, service reasonable, drinks, especially happy hour, reasonable price. The view was awesome, but the 4am long tails loud. Plenty of other hotels on the beach, next time I’ll pick one with AC.
Verified traveler (10/5): - one of the best experience with sea view bungalow.
Tracy (10/5): - Very unique and enjoyable experience at castaway. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bungalow was cozy and had everything you need. If you need AC or hot water this would not be the place for you, however we didn’t mind. Restaurant food and coffee were also great!
Karim (10/5): - Excellent place. The rooms and the space on the beach are really well thought out and carefully designed. The food was incredible and the service was great all throughout. Five star servies in an eco lodge setting.
GAVRIIL (8/5): castaway resort - Castaway resort is located in one of the best beaches of Koh Lipe. In terms of amenities, you can have great food great cocktails dreamy massages and amazing yoga classes just in the resort, which is amazing if you are into relaxing battery recharging holidays. The bungalow we had was dreamy environmentally friendly and in harmony with the surroundings including the hammocks that we had. Only downsides were that because we were one of the first bungalows which was located few feet away from the bar/restaurant area -which was good whenever we were not sleeping. we had a lot of noise at night if we went to bed before the shutdown of the bar and in the morning due to all the motorbikes entering to pick up or leave customers. Also not much of a seclusion. In addition, since this is one of the pricey resorts we would expect better condition of the towels, as they are overused, quite old and rough. I saw that a lot of people mentioned it but i believe its something that needs to be reviewed asap. Apart from that everyone was quite polite and helpful and provided us with a great experience.
Justyna (10/5): - Me and my family loved the place but it's important to understand that they are eco-friendly and there is no hot water and no A/C. If you're fine with that, you will love it too. The staff were wonderful, views amazing, additional services (yoga, massage) great.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Very nice and airy. Could have been a little quieter in the morning. Lots of noise around 7:30AM
joji (8/5): Nice location. - Nice location. Very windy in the morning. So you may need close the door.
Guy (10/5): Best place to stay no dought about it. - Excellent place to stay. Great food and drinks. Great service all the time with friendly smiles. Always there to give you a pleasant stay. J and Guillaume are outstanding. I strongly recommend this place. Will be back again soon. Thank you Castaway for our wonderful stay. We were blessed to have been there at this resort.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Property was very relaxing and value for the money. Management was less than open and respondent to accident that occurred on property. the UK based owner was more helpful when the guest had to approach him because management did not.. Management reports they have fixed the problem.
Colby (8/5): Wouldn’t stay here if you’re solo - Definitely not a place for a solo traveler. Mostly couples here so it’s hard to meet people. Their restaurant/resort is an awesome hangout spot. The huts are..... okay. It doesn’t cool down too much, and you should bring bug spray!
Philip (10/5): Lovely and Relaxing - My wife and I spent 7 nights in a Big Beach Front Breezy bungalow and absolutely loved it. Perfect location and superb view. The bungalows are fairly basic so if you are looking for luxury, look elswhere.The lack of hot water for showers was not a problem for us as the weather was hot and a cool shower was quite refreshing. The perfect relaxation spot really. Reception/Restaurant/Bar/ Lounge area is lovely with a very chilled out feeling. The staff were fantastic, very helpful and always smiling, also some European staff on reception to help with queries.The facilities throughout the resort are well looked after. My only negative comment is regarding the mosquito/insect problem. Although the beds have nets, we did leave with quite a few bites, but this is not just a Castaway problem, but the island overall. Overall we had a wonderful holiday at the Castaway and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.Looking forward to visiting Koh Lipe and The Castaway again!
Verified traveler (8/5): - Die Hütten sind sehr spartanisch eingerichtet, was auch eine Art Markenzeichen von Castaway ist. Es gibt statt einer Klimaanlage nur Ventilatoren und die Dusche und Toilette sind mitten im Raum (ohne Abtrennung). Dennoch ist es ein sehr schönes Resort mit einem Traumstrand. Das Essen und Trinken waren hervorragend! Man kann direkt am Hotel Tauch-Trips buchen und Kayaks oder Standup-Padels mieten. In 5 Gehminuten ist man in der Einkaufsstraße. Wir hatten zwar einen tollen Aufenthalt, dennoch finden wir das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für die doch einfachen Hütten nicht angemessen.
Verified traveler (6/5): - I new that the amenities were slim to none. Like no hot water and no AC but I thought the wi-fi would’ve been better. It only works right at the restaurant/bar But if your goning to Koh Lipe you should just turn you phone off and enjoy getting away from it all. And I thought it would be a quiet place where you can get plenty of rest. But the the bungalow I stayed in was right next to another resort bar that played the same music beat over and over all night. And as soon as the music stops the long tail fishing boats start up early morning. And that’s another disappointing thing to the whole beach is completely filled with hundreds of boats coming in and out all day and night. I think sunset beach was much better. Don’t get me wrong the island was amazing but I’d look for a more remote place. And just taxi in to town. For $50 baht = $1.50 dollars
Verified traveler (8/5): - What I like is that its basic living. The chalets were well designed and somewhat well thought off. Although there were mosquitoes on the island, the net over our bed worked effectively. We slept well. We didn't need A/C, as the fan and the wind from the ocean was sufficient enough to cool us down. The resort also provide us with new water bottles everyday. I would have assumed they would reduce the usage of plastic bottles in that resort but they do have refillable water cooler. So bring your own non plastic bottles of purchase the Hero water bottle for 250Baht and you can refill water for free everywhere on the island. Also, there was no water on one of the nights we stayed there. I wanted to wash my face late one evening but there was no water. But the problem was resolved the next day. Oh ... what amazes me is how they manage their water waste from the bathroom. Is that a multi layer filtration going on? My daughter was amused and I had to keep telling her to stay away from it before she gets a splash LOL. Thanks tho Castaway. We had an awesome time.
Verified traveler (2/5): Avoid it at all costs! - There are so many mosquitoes and sandflies, which I learned I am allergic to during my stay at Castaway. Although it is evident that this is a big problem, as other guests have complained in their reviews, Castaway hasn't taken any measures. There is no screen, and our mosquito net had a lot of holes. Although we had to keep the doors and the windows closed, every day, we got beaten more and more. My entire body became like the arm in the picture. Sandfly bites are seriously itchy and painful. It was a disastrous Christmas vacation for me, and I was quite relieved to leave Castaway.
Mathilde Karlsen (8/5): Worth the visit - Lovely place, friendly and helpful staff. A bit hot with only a fan in the room, but the cosy ness of the bungalows kind of made up for it☺️
Verified traveler (6/5): - Close to the beach and nice hammocks on the veranda. To be honest, these are the only positives I can think of. Overpriced ‘flash packer’ accommodation for what you get. Better priced alternatives out there
Verified traveler (8/5): - The vibe is great! One of the cool places to hang out on Lipe. It is not however a grand value. Rooms are cute but rustic spartan affairs. No hot water. Not that you really need it. Happy hour is great. Beach is minimal. Food is ok. Service is medium. The staff is nice the waiters slightly lost. Great deck to watch sunrise and sunset. Some Western staff to help when your Thai leaves you wanting.
Nida (10/5): - Everything was really good and the massage was the best I have ever had! Very relaxing, nice and calm environment. The downside was the comfort of the bed. It was so uncomfortable that we couldn’t get any sleep at all. The pillows were also the same. So unfortunately even though everything else was pretty awesome, the 2 nights at the resort was enough for us.
Verified traveler (10/5): - A little slice of paradise on Earth! My partner and I spent 5 nights in a Big Sea View Breezy bungalow and absolutely loved it!! Perfect location, superb view, super comfy bed and preferred having fans in the room to AC. The lack of hot water for showers was also not a problem as the weather was so hot it was actually refreshing. Loved the little more luxurious details such as branded toiletries (really good hair conditioner!). We'd often be happy to just spend time on the patio on our super comfy hammocks. The perfect relaxation spot that made us feel more in touch with nature. Fresh bottled water was also provided every day, which was nice. Bungalows cleaned to a really high standard. Restaurant area is great, however, we only had drinks there as we always ate out. The facilities throughout the resort are really well looked after. Overall, a wonderful stay and won't hesitate to recommend. We can't wait to book our next stay at Castaway!
Craig (10/5): - This is a great place to stay. I like the location and the resort is beautiful. Staff are always friendly. Good food and drinks. Quieter side of the island but 5 minute walk to walking street.
Vasilis (8/5): - Nice resort next to the best beachof the island... very close to the walking street.. cold water and no a/c was not issue at all for us.. really enjoyed our stay..! Highly recommended..
Neil (10/5): - Beach hut right on the beach, made the whole island escape a brilliant stay. Staff very friendly and helpful
Verified traveler (8/5): - Really nice ambience and people there. If you want to relax and clear your mind up this is the place. And the bar and reception is literally 2 feet away from the water in the morning hence the view is really really nice
Piwter (10/5): - Great location, concept and atmosphere! Best breakfast around.
Bluey (8/5): - Pro: Overall very nice experience with friendly staff, very good vibe at the resort bar area and cleanliness of the resort. It’s also very close to the beach. Cons: there is an event going on with the bar next door on the first night with castaway, it’s too loud to sleep. No aircon and hot water. Crazy amount of mosquitos
Anne (8/5): second time and still a favourite - Very nice place to stay along sunrise beach, perfect location. Few ways to reach walking street , very convenient. Bunglows have no aircon but i like it. I got the garden bunglow. Was given mosquito repellent to be plugged into the socket ( looks like airfreshner) . Slept well.did not have mosquitos coming into the bedroom area . But for the toilet at the ground level, some mosquitos came in. Do a quick shower to avoid them. Yoga at 7 am, 9 am and 4 pm except sundays. Diving centre on site. Prebook the day before. Transfers offered by castaway”s agent was efficient. Good and clear information from castaway when i booked my transfers. Room did not come with breakfast but i was fine to pay my way for each meal. Had the greencurry rice for breakfast.delicious! Right amount of spiciness! But not the cheapest at thb175
Jeebers (10/5): - Brilliant location, great dive shop and amazing food!
Tasma (6/5): Beach Bungalow - The mosquitoes drove us mad. Make sure you book behind the restaurant and not in the section beside the office on the other side of the fence. We had to move. Very , very basic. No comforts but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom is what you would expect in a bungalow. The landing on the veranda very dangerous . Small area with a step down . Night time its not visable . No pool .. Lounge cushions on the beach a big plus. Great Island. Relaxing and fun.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Unfortunately, they are undergoing major expansion this season, so from 8-5 every day, there is loud construction. If you stay in a cabin away from the construction noise, you risk the night time DJ of the bar next door not allowing you to sleep. Very disappointed that there was no warning about this from our favourite hotel. On Line.
Verified traveler (10/5): - It was beach front and very laid back and casual at the same time!
pui hei (10/5): Nice place to have a short stay - Checked the review before booking. Basically the place is great, nice meal area and interesting room setup, only worse thing is about the mosquitoes, just everywhere even during massage. Recommend to try massage, which right next to the seaside, absolutely stunning!! Also had yoga lesson in the morning, in all this is a good place to experience
Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing food - The quality of the environment and food was amazing, we ventured out but always ended up preferring castaway for the relaxed area and great food and service
Diyana Daksy (10/5): The best stay in Koh Lipe - Been to this place 2 times. Out of all the resorts/hotel in Koh Lipe, I have to say Castaway is the best place to stay. It's laid back chill (but still keep it's standards) is the perfect stay you can get on Koh Lipe. Bit tuck away from all the hectic, busy resorts that's a bit too much to take on an island getaway. You can just spend hours lounging at the cafe or on a hammock at your room. The 2 floors wooden "bungalow" gives you that authentic, rustic yet romantic feels.
Verified traveler (8/5): Great place but no hot shower or AC in cabins - Castaway is a great place overall. Highlights include the bar/restaurant area, the food and general atmosphere. However, the cabins had no hot water for showering and no AC, which is a significant downside considering the high price you pay to stay there.
Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel on Sunrise Beach - Awesome hotel on Sunrise Beach with a relaxed vibe. The bungalows were comfortable though note no hot water or AC and the bathroom is open. The food was delicious, and the restaurant area is right on the beach. Massages were great too. Short walk into town to Walking Street. Highly recommended!
world traveler (8/5): Nice hotel right on beach but no AC - Only stayed here one night but it was a really nice place to stay. The staff were friendly and accomodating when there was a problem with our room that prevented us from checking in to the room. There is no AC but with the beach breeze and fans provided it was still really nice. Only qualm was that there were a million long tail boats in the water in front of the beach.
Verified traveler (10/5): Would recommend! - A…asking location. Well worth getting up early to watch the sunrise. Very helpful & friendly staff. Delicious food. Massages I had were ace! Just be aware no air con which was OK for me this time of year with a sea breeze.
Michelle (10/5): Great, chilled place next to the beach - A lovely place to stay. Right next tot he beach. Chilled beach bar vibe. I'd highly recommmend getting a massage! They were the best on the island.
Verified traveler (10/5): Honeymoon - Great location perfect for a honeymoon. We would definitely return!
Sandra (10/5): As epic as it seems - This resort is one of the most organized places I’ve ever been. From check in to check out, everything was streamlined, in a cozy way. Staff helped us arrive gracefully, the location is beyond gorgeous and the food was fantastic! Our cabin was beautiful, the grounds are immaculately maintained. Fantastic Thai Massage. Excellent snorkeling trip! Didn’t want to leave!!!
Craig (10/5): Great place to stay - Great place to stay. Sunrise beach is beautiful and quiet more so than the other beaches on the island. Service, food, location all good.
HotMama (6/5): Not for me! - I booked this room by mistake and couldn't cancel. First of all , there is no A/C, or screened doors. I'm not quite sure how I missed this but the temp and humid are always high. To cool off we opened the doors allowed mosquitoes to come in .As days went on I was treated for allergic reactions to all the bites. When I was in room I would have to go under mosquito net for protection as the Insect spray didn't work. There is no hot water. Our towels smelled of cat urine. We ended up leaving and going to the Hotel on other side of the beach. Less garbage and jellyfish and managed to enjoy the rest of our vacation.
carol (10/5): Room type - beautiful traditional Thai house lovely change from hotel rooms.
John (6/5): Great View and Ok Stay - I reserved a ocean front room. It was a awesome view and the best beach on the island. But at first some of the dive shop staff was very noisy so I complained to the front desk person. So if possible to change the room to next bungalow so there was less noise from the loud talking nose from the staff members. They said that the guest next to us had a reservation for the entire time during our stay. That was not true because my fiance and I saw different guests staying couple of days later. But at the end it was ok because the dive staff wasn't talking loudly after our complaint. But I wished that the front desk staff should have not lied to us. Other then that everything was good. All of the staff members where very nice and friendly.
Verified traveler (10/5): - fantastic place, great staff, great value for money
nurul (10/5): amazing experienced - I love it so much and surely will come Back and recommend to my friends
Thomas (10/5): Great resort, would definitely stay again - Really nice resort, staff were great and bar and restaurant area is perfect area to relax in. Rooms had good fans to stop getting too hot. Great section of beach out front for swimming and snorkelling. Food was great, especially the Thai breakfasts. Happy hour made cocktails really good value!
Kan (8/5): Kan - หน้าห้องพักมีต้นไม้ใหญ่บังวิวทะเล ควรจะมีแค่ต้นไม้ที่ไม่สูงมากอยู่หน้าห้อง และเตียงนอนสั่นมากเมื่อเปิดพัดลมตัวใหญ่ทำให้นอนไม่หลับ
Verified traveler (8/5): 3 Attap houses away from the beach - Plus point is the clean white beach very near to location of house. Very Good food at the hotel bistro cafe. Good complementary iced lemongrass drink upon arrival at hotel Good complementary departure transfer to jetty - better if it is complementary upon arrival as well Front of the door had difficulty closing and opening as not aligned properly, troublesome. Maybe one writing desk and a standing fan needed. Had one nail sticking out of the wall near to the clothes hanger, dangerous. Might need to cut the grass leading into the house, and there was a lot of mosquitoes around due to that. Might need to curtain up the toilet area, exposure to front door without privacy. Might need toilet ventilation fan
tony (4/5): Hotel with wooden cabins most with no sea view - Hotel room was nothing like the promotional photo - no sea view and inadequate signage which made it difficult to find especially at night (all cabins look the same). Room was poorly lit and quite poky with no sound proofing from neighbouring cabins with noisy couples (leave that to your imagination). Cabin stairs were very narrow and a struggle with bags. Beach full of long tails with no where to swim safely unless you like a propeller in your face. Staff weren't particularly helpful- I got better service from the hotel next door
morten (8/5): - Nice area. Great beach. Great great restaurant and cosy vibe. But we missed aircon
Kirsten (10/5): Beautiful and amazing resort - Our stay at Castaway Resort was wonderful- everything we could have wanted and more. The hut we stayed in was a sea view one and it was amazing. Clean, good size, large balcony off the second floor bedroom with amazing views of the sea, porch with hammocks, and nice rain shower. Price was very reasonable as we went at the end of October, just before high season. The main area of the resort had a great relaxing atmosphere that served great food and drinks for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the evening it would be lit up with candles and looked beautiful. The resort was right on the beach, near the south end of sunrise beach.
