- soares (9/5): Superbe ! - La propriété de la chambre, l’équipements
- S&he (10/5): - All lovely, plus restaurant was good too.
- Millie (4/5): Wouldn’t stay again - Good location and soft bed sheets Massive ant infestation! Ants everywhere. Staff weren’t very friendly. We asked for a room to be cleaned it seemed like they only made the bed. We also asked for water, don’t get any either. Quite expensive for what you get.
- Karun (10/5): - ใกล้ท่าเรือประมาณ 150 เมตร ใกล้ 7-11 ประมาณ 100 เมตร มีร้านขายของชำติดที่พัก, ที่พักสะอาดมาก, สิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกครบ, บริการต้อนรับดี, ฝากกระเป๋าไว้ก่อนเช็คอินได้, ด้านล่างเป็นร้านอาหารสไตล์อเมริกัน, ห่างจากอ่าวลูกโยนประมาณ 150 เมตร (เยื้องๆกัน) เข้าฟรีนั่งดื่มได้, ห่างหาดทรายแก้ว 500 เมตร, ร้านค้าร้านอาหารเยอะ, ช่วงวันหยุดยาวแนะนำจองมอร์ไซค์ไว้ล่วงหน้า โดยรวมประทับใจมากครับ

- Thitikan K. (10/5): -
- Christine (8/5): Nahe am Pier - Ich war sehr enttäuscht ,die Bilder sind nicht mit den Zimmern zu vergleichen ,ich hatte die erste Nacht ein Zimmer ohne Tageslicht bekommen, obwohl ich vorher angefragt hatte,ob ich ein Zimmer mit großem Fenster haben kann.Konnte es am nächsten Tag wechseln,zwar auch nicht das was ich wollte,aber wenigstens mit Tageslicht. Die Zimmer waren sauber,aber für 2 Personen sehr klein,kein Stuhl, usw. Wie schon oben beschrieben.Wenn man zur Eingangstor raus geht ist man direkt auf der Straße ,Vorsicht ,kein Bürgersteig.

- SVETLANA (10/5): - При посещении острова Самет всегда останавливаемся именно в этом отеле. Полюбили его с нашей первой поездки и с тех пор бронируем номер именно в нём. В отеле всё великолепно начиная от его расположения и заканчивая великолепными, радушными хозяевами. Наш отзыв на этот отель не первый, что ещё можно добавить, сервис из года в год не меняется всё так же хорош, в номере всё необходимое для комфортного проживания имеется. В следующий раз непременно остановимся именно в этом месте.

- Ekaterina (10/5): - Были уже в этом отеле в прошлом году и не раздумывая выбрали его снова. Отличное расположение, чисто, достаточно тихо. Доброжелательный и внимательный персонал. Внизу кафе, в котором любим завтракать.
- Chrystelle (9/5): Je n’y retournerais pas - L’emplacement la propreté le personnel Rien juste l’île qui est très très sale payer 200 baths par tête pour voir une île plus que sale
- John (6/5): Enjoyable. - Breakfast good. Location exelent. Cleaning rooms, we where out most of the day and had to ask the host could they clean rooms when we go out.
- Marcin (7/5): - Lokazliacja blisko portu i przypływających tam promów. Blisko ulicy hotel, czasami uciązliwe było słuchanie przejezdzajacych samochodow i skuterów.
Brak mozliwosci wynajecia skuteru.
- Yves (9/5): - L'hébergement est situé à la fois près du port et du centre ville, donc accès à pied dans les deux cas.
Pour aller ailleurs sur l'île, il suffira de louer un scooter ou prendre un taxi.
- ลูกเกตุ (10/5): - ห้องสวยมาก ใกล้สิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกสุดๆ

- mario (4/5): - Locatie Personeel niet behulpzaam geen bediening in het restaurant kamer werd niet gepoetst 300 extra voor een plastiek matras kamer was eigenlijk te klein voor extra bed
- Ian (8/5): -
- Pascal (10/5): Trois jours à Samet - Petit hôtel près du port. C’est pratique.
Hôtel très propre, lit confortable
J’ai adoré séjourner au Samed Big Tree.
Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Je recommande vraiment.
- Samconsult (10/5): -
- Veniese (7/5): Good -
- Roger (8/5): Very good -
- David (3/5): Poor - The location is good, 10 minutes to the beach and pretty close to the pier, with a lot of places to eat It was very noisy because there was a festival nearby. The light switch is not close to the bed, the TV and internet are not very good (you can't watch netflix for example), and on the last night we found a cockroach in the bathroom. Also, the bathroom window doesn’t close properly, so mosquitoes come in
- Callum (7/5): Good -
- Magnus (6/5): On a budget on this beautiful island - If you are looking for a bed in a room, and basically nothing more than that, and are on a budget, this could be for you.
Located near the entry port/harbour of the island, which was conveniant. Walking distance to ferries and 7-Eleven, and a hundred other shops.
At the beginning of the "main street" with some of all the restaurants and shops.
Comfortable bed (a bit hard for my personal taste, but wife liked it)
Good AC
Good pressure and warm water in the shower
Plenty closet space.
Friendly staff
And cheaper prices than the majority of the hotels, but, obviously you get what you pay for. To really enjoy this beautiful island I would probably go for one of the resorts closer to the main beach on the south east side of the island.
It is a little sad when there is absolutely no view whatsover (window facing another building 1 meter away).
Not sure about the other rooms though, perhaps they were better. Make sure to ask before booking and (if possible).
The hotel does not offer anything else than the room/s. No lobby or outdoor patio to hang around in.
There was a restaurant, but, with hundreds of other options nearby we did not try it.
Quite bit of traffic passing the hotel due to its proximity of the port.
8,3 rating on booking... hmm... maybe not. There is nothing wrong with the room itself, it is clean, but the overall experience I would not rate it that high.
And, on a side note, which has nothing to with the this pearticular hotel; at the time of writing this (March 2025), there are no ATMs on the entire island, so make sure to bring plenty cash. Some restaurants accept credit cards, but all of them charge 2-5% extra.
- Kamlesh (8/5): Very good -
- Cristian (7/5): I wouldn’t repeat - Good location, 2 min walking from pier. Very clean. Very noisy from the hotel guests, we requested the room that faces oposite of the road but the window has not view, it has a wall in front, so is a bit overwhelming and claustrophobic. From 6am you can hear a lot of people from the hotel making noise, so I didn’t have a good quality sleep. The rooms with “views” are in front of the road and is very noisy. I slept the previous night in barbados terrace and it was way better
- Tamar (2/5): Very poor - The sink was blocked. The room smelled because of that. The area very noisy and smelly. The staff friendly but hard to find.
The photos in Booking.com are very misleading. Our room looked nothing like that. The room, the smells.
- David (8/5): Perfectly pleasant stay and a good base to explore the island - Very close to the ferry and main beach Nothing
- Aleksandra (10/5): Very nice place - Perfect position and super nice staff
- Lassi (8/5): Great place to stay next to the main pier - Clean and spacy room, friendly staff, close to the main pier No view from the window in the room where we stayed, no light enters to the room
- Masi (10/5): Exceptional - The rooms are huge, cleaned every 2 days, clean towels every day and water. The staff is professional but welcoming and friendly. The restaurant downstairs offers a wide variety of well cooked food, excellent quality. The owner is a paddle board champion, if you want to have an unforgettable sunset experience ask Tony or Lek. We had a great time at Samed Big Tree, Tony's family has a contagious energy that floods your day with positivity, enriching your holiday. I really recommend to everyone if you are in Koh Samet, stay at Samed Big Tree. Nothing to mention all good
- Oliver (9/5): Superb -
- Altynay (6/5): Good for only night sleep, the room is very small, beach is 10 mins walk. - Good location Very small room, basically just bed and bathroom.
- Theunissen (10/5): It's a very nice affordable place - It is very close to the peer Thy were working with Jack hammers close to the hotel.
Terrible voice all the time
- Mattia (5/5): staff is weird - good position staff
- Marc (10/5): Super nice rooms - perfect stay - Great accommodation in the heart of Koh Samet. Rooms a spacious, clean, comfy and bright. We felt very well. The staff was super friendly. The location is great. Just two minutes walk from the pier. So Jutta don't need a Taxi. 7eleven, Shops and Restaurants within walking distance and also a 10 Minute walk to the beautiful beach. We highly recommend Samed Big Tree and would come back again.

- Ludo (3/5): No value for money - Nothing much Dirty messy stairs full of shoes, very sandy ! 4 night stay only one time clean room! Lazy staff
- Gary (9/5): Superb - Good location near the wharf The water was cut for a short while, they fixed and all good though
- Marina (7/5): Good -
- Richard (9/5): Superb - Location and excellent staff
- Kotryna (10/5): Great location, nice simple hotel in Koh Samet - This hotel is in a very convenient place - right next to the pier, a shop and a cafe. It is easy, as when you get to the island, you do not need to get a taxi and can easily rent a motorbike close to the hotel. We booked the hotel for 3 nights and then booked for three more. The room has Netflix and Youtube, they also provided an additional bed for our 4 year old. The ladies provided water and clean towels every day and cleaned the room once in two days.
We are not fancy travelers, we really enjoyed the stay and also Koh Samet. N/A
- Mark (8/5): Staff were friendly clean Netflix - Clean and tidy Nothing
- Smith (9/5): Superb -
- Shuyue (10/5): Good location 3min of the pier. The service is really great. The lady solved all our problems. - Really good service.
Good location.
- Lee (9/5): Easy check in Staff good Room good would stay again if visiting ko samed - Easy check in Staff good room Room good would stay again if visiting ko samed
- Jagbir (3/5): Not worth it to stay there - It was close to the shops and beach Small room which is fine but bed was uncomfortable, stairs (No lift to the room), no tea or coffee( only had for first day), stayed there for 3 days no one change the bed sheets, bed sheets smells to start with, shower hose doesn’t stick with the shower so you have to hold it all the time otherwise it ll be messy, towels look very old and cheap stuff. Wouldn’t recommend this property.
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice, big, clean room. Host was very nice & accommodating. We extended our stay & it was no issue. Very close to the pier and close like 5-10min to the beach.
- Pow_la (8/5): Very good - Clean Got a much smaller room than expected, not the same as advertised in the picture. One of the women who owns the place is very grumpy and not very approachable.
- Kaspars (8/5): Very good -
- Tazim (8/5): Very good -
- Simon (8/5): Nice option near the ferry - Good location, near the ferry port. Pleasant room with bathroom, a/c and fridge.
Bike hire shops nearby. Ask for daily hire rates, and negotiate a discount if you need the bike for a few days
Plenty of conveniently located power outlets in the room There used to be a restaurant, but this is now closed. I understand they will start offering breakfast from New Year 2024
Would have been nice to have a desk and chair in the room
- Mike (8/5): Very good - Very clean room A long walk to the beach
- Johanna (6/5): Great location, could have been cleaner - The location was great, the beach and restaurants are minutes away. It was not very clean, there were ants and it had a sewage smell. The windows and doors make noise when there’s wind.
- Jakkrit (7/5): Good -
- Janusz (5/5): Passable -
- Xixiao (10/5): Exceptional - very good, very clean, this price is very good
- Lhonix (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lila_leandri (9/5): Superb -
- Manish (10/5): The staff members hold you near the room exit gate for checking the room for any broken or damage and then pay your secu - Its run by a lady entrepreneur, she has too much smile on her face The staff members hold you near the room exit gate for checking the room for any broken or damage and then pay your security deposit, its very unprofessional. You can check when the guest go in the reception area but ask the guest to wait outside room for checking the room for any damage, it’s totally annoying. Also, they have written too much unwanted damage rules, like if towel is damaged then pay over 700 Baht, one can buy towel from 7 eleven for 70 baht.
- Moira (6/5): good rooms / not great location in regard to the beach - the room was clean. and new. the minibar it’s very important and they give you water every day there was nobody at front desk whenever I was around. the place was empty and the price was high for the location and the low season.
staff didn’t speak any English… nice enough but very difficult to have a conversation and get recommendations
- Jeremy (6/5): A sufficient base at the island - Location is great, a 5 minute walk from the pier. Very close to a calm little beach too. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.
The room was quite large for the price. AC was powerful. It was perfectly clean when I arrived. I was very satisfied with the room.
I'd say it is good enough for sure if you just want to chill at the island. There was no real reception. I was received by a lady who was there, I think, only for the specific time frame that I indicated. After that she left and I did not see her again untill checkout. But, I must say that I could reach her by phone when I had to request an earlier checkout. She did not seem to be in the best of moods during both interactions, but was not necessarily rude either.
I read in other reviews about the restaurant of this location, which was one of the reasons I booked it. When I arrived, I saw that the restaurant was closed. Slightly disappointing.
My room was not cleaned during my stay. But, maybe this is standard practice in a facility like this (given that it isnt a real hotel), same could maybe be said for the lack of reception.
- Harley (8/5): Great staff - Clean, well located hotel. Staff members very nice. Allowed me and my girlfriend to use the showers after we checked out. N/A
- Chatchai (9/5): Superb - The room cleanness and kindness
- Kamila (10/5): it was our best stay in Samet so far! - The location is great! 1 min away from the pier and 7/11. The room was clean, spacious and it always smelled great. it’s actually much better than in the pictures! the bed is great, the mattress can take all your worries away :D
The Admin (or was it the owner herself) is very sweet
- Kim (8/5): Amazing! - Nearby the pier and accessible to all shops and the beach is walking distance. The receiving area is not well organize.
- Nejc (10/5): Exceptional -
