Guest Reviews
- Erwan (10/5): -
- Laura (9/5): ideal como noche previa a coger el ferry - la ubicación perfecta para hacer noche y coger el ferry a las islas del golfo de tailandia y la amabilidad del dueño , súper amable , nos facilitó el transporte desde el aeropuerto y por la mañana nos llevó al puerto invitándonos a banana frita riquísima . puedes cenar allí así que si llegas tarde perfecto también . relación calidad precio inmejorable nada en particular
- simone (10/5): Piacevole e simpatica - Personale fantastico, disponibilissimo e cordiale.
Ci hanno organizzato transfert dall’aeroporto e poi al porto, ci hanno portato due snack all’arrivo e anche alla mattina (boma made) . Davvero fantastici Internamente le camere non sono il massimo dell’accoglienza ma l’esterno ripaga ampiamente il tutto
- Sergei (10/5): - Все хорошо, ночевали перед паромом
- Céline (5/5): Pour une étape avant de prendre le bateau mais pas plus - Proximité avec les embarcadères pour Koh Samui (10 mn en taxi), là récupération a l’aéroport La salle de bain qui était sale : lavabo et toilettes non nettoyés, une invasion de fourmis dans la salle de bain, deux énormes blattes et pour finir un tapis de salle de bain vraiment sale…
- Virginie (10/5): Très bonne halte avant de prendre le ferry pour les îles - Calme et très bien équipé. Super accueil. Merci à Chris pour sa bienveillance.
- Noa (10/5): Exceptional - They were so sweet
Chris is amazing!
Drove me from the airport to the hotel and the next day drove me to the ferry
Clean room, a/c and a TV.
Very very nice people.
Would recommend 100%
- Lori (8/5): Very good - lady was really helpful and cooked us up a lovely dinner. great value for money not much going nearby and beach scruffy but ideal for ferry to koh samui
- Laura (9/5): Excellent stay and lovely hosts! - The location was so close to pier. Nothing
- Kerr17 (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jason (5/5): Passable -
- Ili (10/5): Friendly family business in a nice spot - So, so friendly service from this family run business. The simple accommodation was super for the price. Beds where typical Thai, so rock hard, but otherwise the room was nice, shower hot and the whole area was really pretty just by the sea with a cosy restaurant area. We booked last minute because we lost our plane and we got a lift from the airport for an alright price from the son in the family. Very considerate man that gave us water, chrisps and even a morning snack the next day. They fixed us a lovely dinner when we arrived late also. Free lift to the ferry to the islands. The beds are too hard for me, but nothing out of the ordinary Thai bed.
- G (10/5): Just perfect for a short stay as it’s away from it all but near the boat to KohSamui - The kind owners and very nice surroundings . Pick up train station and later next day a free transport to the harbour. Prepared dinner in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Bring your book and rewind …. Perfect !!!! Non
- Molly (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed here for one night before getting the ferry to Koh tao. Perfect location if your looking for somewhere to stay before getting the ferry.
The room was spacious and clean.
Lovely outside area and near a little beach.
Staff were lovely and helpful. They rented us bikes and took us to the pier the next day.
- Amanda (8/5): Lovely friendly overnight stay with excellent home cooked food - Nicely set out
Friendly staff
Near the ferry
They cooked us a delicious dinner budget overnight stay Some distance away from the shop
- Wayne (8/5): Very good -
- Vazquez (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aina (10/5): Exceptional - The representative from this resort, Chris was really friendly and helpful. I booked for my family member and he assisted them so well. He even sent me the photo of my family arrived there. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable to sleep after a long ride from Phuket. The price is also reasonable. Overall, my family is very satisfied. Nothing so far.
- Sebastian (8/5): Very good -
- Anna (9/5): Superb - Very friendly and helpful.
Chris picked us up from airport and played some great tunes in the car.
Quiet and lovely garden
He gave us the best banana fritters to enjoy on lomprayah.
- Muhammad (8/5): Very good -
- Rolf (10/5): - Freundliche Gastgeber, habe eigenen Taxiservice zu fairen Kosten. Alles gut.
- Mantas (8/5): Very good -
- Jordan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabriela (8/5): Baaic stay with great service - Very close to the Don Sak pier , basic but comfortable and the host very helpful , easy stop before the ferry journey .
- Anna (9/5): It is all the matter of expectations. Expect a basic sleeping, but that is just what we needed arriving 21.00 and leavin - Location (super close to the ferry to koh samui:)
Chris (got is touch shortly after booking via whatsupp, provided transfer from the airport and to the ferry the next day, also brought some breakfast for the kids:)
- Tracey (7/5): Good -
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brooke (8/5): Very good - Chris was amazing, picked us up from the airport, got us food and took us to the ferry port.
So helpful and lovely!
We love Chris ☺️
- Ronald (9/5): Very good value and close to the ferry terminal - The location was great, we basically needed a place to stay for the night, as there was no ferry service back to Samui when we were returning from our trip to Khao Sok, and our ferry from Donsak on the Lompryah ferry to Samui didn’t leave until 11:00 am the next day. This place is just a couple minutes up the road from the ferry terminal and they offer taxi to the terminal. There is no food at the property, however there is a coffee shop/cafe near the ferry terminal called the Pier,
- Hanan (10/5): Will come again - Very close to the ferry. The staff helped with everything we asked for - they took us for free to shop at a nearby market and ordered the ferry
- Saw (7/5): we were ONLY having a short stay to transfer to KOH SAMUI. - peaceful place that you can see beautiful sunset, the owner is helpful but speak little English. Room take time to cool down in the evening when we check in. I believe the room would be warm if you are staying inside the room in the afternoon
- Mia (9/5): Such a lovely family and a peaceful stay - The staff made the stay for me! It’s a family run business and they were all very accommodating and helpful! There is a bit of a distance to shops and restaurants but every member of the family offered to drive me anywhere I wanted to go! Chris was amazing at checking in on me. He picked me up from the pier, drove me to shops, delivered me dinner and breakfast and even took me to a market on the Sunday morning!
The place was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the sea! I loved how quiet the area was too! My only complaint would be the shower sprayed everywhere in the bathroom so I recommend keeping your toilet roll in your bedroom.
(This is not about the property but the area in general)
Be aware that roads are not made for walking around here.
- Tina (6/5): Pleasant - Chris does his best to help with everything, good wifi, friendly people (but no English spoken :-), easy and fast transport to the pier; for what you get it could be a bit cheaper (we had better rooms for the same price) - or they should offer a family room for 4 for a reasonable price (we had to take 2 bungalows) Moskitos in the room, dirty blanket, very simple bathroom (no running toilet flush), loud airco, there is nothing around the "resort": we were brought to a local restaurant and picked up (had very good local food there!); it's good for a one night stay to take the ferry the next day, or you need a car;
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carl (10/5): Great place for spending a night before taking the ferry to Koh Samui - Peaceful place. Simple yet spacious. Excellent value for the money. Super friendly staff.
- Amree (7/5): Good -
- Wannida (10/5): Worth the money! People are nice! - The property is closed to the pier Lompraya transfer at Laem Thaut Pier. It’s closed to the temple “Wat Khao Suwan Pradit “ walking from the resort like 10 mintues to watch the sunrise. It’s magical!
The resort is lovely, run by local family. The staff are nice and helpful.
They offer airport pickup with extra charge if you travel with night flight from Bangkok to Surat Thani. I feel safe and comfortable with the service and hospitality
- Chris (7/5): Good -
- Yuphaporn (1/5): Not recommended ! - It look nice from outside, Smelling pee every way on the bed and broken toilet, un clean :(
- Punnipa (8/5): Very good -
- Kieran (10/5): Perfect and peaceful - Arrived late and was greeted and giving my room very fast , was greatfull as was tired from travel from Bangkok highly recommend this for anyone that’s tired that wants a rest before the ferry
- Luc (8/5): One night stay and then ferry next day! - Property was nice staff were wonderful very close to ferry
- Simon (6/5): It is what it is. Just stay out of the bathroom. - Not bad for last minute booking. Toilet did not flush. Shower head had to be taken off to get any water to come out. Water from shower only lukewarm warm. Bathroom floor was so slippery that we went out and bought flip-Flops so as not to break our necks in there. Asked to check out a little late as we have a ferry but was told we would have to pay another half a day rate for an extra 2 hours.
- Vladimir (10/5): Exceptional - Great hosts. The rooms are clean. Convenient location. Tasty food.
- Sharon (10/5): Brilliant - The amazing help given by the host and the amazing gardens full of birdlife! Would stay here again.. Perfect location for the ferries leaving from Donsak Pier. Would have loved a kettle! But there was a fridge which is not often found in rooms of this price.
- Lori (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was very nice, arranged dinner, boat tickets and transport for us. Lovely property and the room was very comfortable.
- Clifford (9/5): We were made to feel very welcome in Thailand. - Chris, our host, was absolutely amazing. He was so kind and hospitable. He bought us restaurant food, fresh coconuts from his tree, picked us up from airport, dropped us at ferry. It was the perfect place to stay for us while catching the ferry the next morning. There is a small garden area overlooking the sea. You won't find a better host!
- Radovan (10/5): Exceptional - very polite housekeeper !!
- Teja (9/5): Highly recommended & satisfied 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 - The room size is big & value for money. Highly recommended for transit stay if you want to catch early ferry to Koh Samui. The water pressure was a bit slow.
- Philip (8/5): Delightful short stay. - The property was accessible to the ferry terminal and very peaceful and quiet, with sea views. The staff were very hospitable, very kind, friendly and most helpful. Was booked at short notice due to travel plan changes and Chris took care of everything including pick up service from railway station and drop off at ferry terminal the next day. Brilliant! No complaints.
- Henning (8/5): Very good - Suoer friendly and helpful people there. It is a very nice and lovely family. It is a bit far away from everything.
Though you can still get different restaurants and shops if you are willing to walk 15 Minutes
- Thats_wendy (10/5): Best place to stay and owned by a beautiful kindhearted family. - Everything!! The most kindhearted owners.
Picked us up from the airport, gave us a bottle of water and snacks. On our way to the accommodation he made a pitstop at a restaurant so we could get some food, which we could order while driving.
Also we got a banana roti.
Our staying was really pleasant even if it was for just 1 night, but you can of course stay longer. It will be wordt your time over here.
Very beautiful place, 1 room was an upgrade offered by the accommodation, due a minor issue.
The next morning we got a fresh coconut and then they drove us to the pier so we could go to the islands in the Gulf.
We promised to make use of their taxi services again when we come back to go to Khao Sok Park.
And while I'm writing this review, he contacted me by Whatsapp asking if we wanted to order food for on our way when he's picking us up at the Donsak Pier. Very good prices and very good food.
We all can only recommend this beautiful place with the most kindhearted people. Nothing negative to say about this accommodation, as they offered more then we could ever expect.
- Vincent (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed there just for the night before taking the ferry to Samui. The rooms were big and spacious, and clean. Possibility to park your car right in front of the room. Very nice couple running the resort, right on the beach. Perfect for us
- Mallikarjun (7/5): 5 minutes drive from Donsak pier, stay here to take the early morning ferry - An old uncle and aunty run this place. They were very friendly and caring. Their son Chris speaks English so Chris coordinated everything with us, right from arranging the transportation to breakfast. Our stay was just for 9 hours but we felt very welcoming. One of the room's water tap burst open, and another's shower head broke away. Just minor aesthetic fixes needed, but overall it was fine.
- Maureen (10/5): Exceptional - We have been here before in 2019 and are still delighted with this accommodation.
Chris is lovely and accompanied us to the airport, SIM card, and all the way to the port!
We can't wait to come back to Thailand for a night!
- Carole (9/5): Very nice - Very nice and clean,
The host is really nice and can arrange to pick up at the train station for approximately same price as a taxi
- Robin (7/5): Good - Location is perfect if you will take the ferry later.
Beautiful views and sitting area in the garden. Comfy beds. Rooms were outdated.
- Nanthida (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mau (10/5): Comfortable - Property is very clean and comfortable for a transfer location. We were picked up by Chris, the owner, at Cheow Lan pier and brought to the Donsak ferry pier the next day in the morning for our trip to Koh Samui. A Grab car is more expensive for both rides. (He even offered rides in the area) There is not much to do in the area, but since we wanted to rest it was perfect. We went out for a walk and I just like being out in remote areas with no tourist and daily life of the local people. We walked for an hour and passed by a primary school, a hospital, local food stalls, few shops and a 7Eleven. In the evening Chris sent us a menu from a local takeaway so we could order our meal with him. He then served the takeaway meal in his house/restaurant at his property. In the morning he sent us a whatsapp in advance and brought us to the ferry. He even bought us Pa Tong Ko for breakfast to take with us on the ferry. All together, great way to travel from Khao Sok to Koh Samui without hassle. Something teenagers appreciate, especially when there is wifi 😅
- Lena-christin (8/5): Good for a stop over when you want to go to the islands - Service, Tom offers pick up from the airport and is waiting with Snacks, I also got some fried banana and sweet patatoe Form breakfast when he drove me to the port. He is really kind. It was really loud in the night regarding to other guests.
There is nothing in the area but it is totally fine if you just stay one night before going to Koh Phangan.
- Bleech (8/5): Excellent value for money - Chris the owner was very helpful in all respects. He organised a short term motorcycle hire for us, transfers to and from Surat Thani Airport (at a very reasonable price) and transfers to and from the ferry terminal to Samui. Also receommended a fantastic local seafood restaurant.
Location is very quiet and just out of town so having own transport would be beneficial. Bed was very firm, which I think is normal for local taste. I liked it but I am sure it may be something others would like to know.
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation is perfectly close to the ferry and it has a nice view at the sea. The owners were just amazing and so hospitable and time flexible. We needed to sleep over on the last call because we missed the last ferry to the islands and even if we arrived shortly after midnight, they were waiting for us. Then one of the owners offered himself to drive us to the ferry, also then to Khao Sok National park on our way back and also helped me to get us a taxi driver back from Khao Sok to Surat Thani. Chris is the most reliable and friendly person I have met during our stay and I thank him for so much. I recommend it so much.
- Lauren (10/5): Exceptional -

I highly recommend this place public transport to the hotel stops quite early but Chris picks you up is necessary, so not really a negative point…
- Anonymous (5/5): Bery disappointing - Mice gardens was in the middle of no where. Not very clean and bathroom smelt very bad
- Graham (7/5): Convenient location to stay overnight as near to Donsak ferry port. - Individual parking for each room. Good value. Quiet location. Difficult to find. No English name to identify the site. Drove by several times. Asked three times. Eventually a kind motorcyclist guided me there as I followed him.
- Tum (10/5): Exceptional -
- Klaus (10/5): Exceptional - Charming resort just a few minutes from DonSak Lomprayah Ferry pier.... clean and cosy ... Chris is a outstanding obliging host, surprising you again and again with lovely little gifts. His mother served us with a delicious fried rice .... so if you need a stay on your way to Samui, Panghan or Tao take a break at Chris place .........
- Maksim (9/5): Superb -
- Sofia (10/5): Exceptional - We had only one night in Lam-tong so we did not have time to see the area around. BUT the family who owns this hotel is amazing, friendly and helpful. Chris the son not only picked us up from the airport and brought us next day to ferry. He also helped the half night finding our lost suitcase. He called airlines and airports. So we got our bag in the next day. Also the view from our bungalow was just beautiful, we had one with two beds and there is enough space as well as a working AC. The garden looks super nice. We are happy we booked this place and met this nice people. We will come back.
- Tan (9/5): great experience overall - a very quiet place , nice check in process , and great experience not very convenient if dont have transportation
- Urs (10/5): Great base to discover the area and to start your island vacations - Calm location closed to the pier, nice private garden. The pick-up service and the support of the owner’s son exceeded any expectation. He made us feel visiting family from the very first moment on. You can also discover the interesting surroundings with him.
- Siti (8/5): Very good -
- Vytautas (10/5): very good locantion near the pier, helpful staff :) - super !!! nothing
- Nisha (10/5): Exceptional - Great location to catch the ferry over to Koh Samui. Chris is absolutely great, he picked us from the airport late and his mum made us some fantastic food.

Location is a bit far from anything. The son of the owners WhatsApp messaged us saying he would drive us anywhere which was really nice.
