We hosted a retreat for about 28 people at this hotel and were there for 5 days. The staff was absolutely incredible and took care of everything for us. They accommodated all our needs and the needs of everyone attending the retreat as well. The hotel itself is peaceful and was ideal for our purpose. It is about 30 mins from Chaweng and Lamai but the hotel provides a shuttle at a minimal cost which is extremely convenient. Would recommend this for those who want to go for a quite holiday or those who want to come back for a peaceful evening.

I can not say enough good things about this resort. This was my second vacation on Koh Samui. I love the south end of the island. It is so peaceful and relaxing, yet near enough to Lamai and Chaweng beaches that enjoying night life is a short cab ride away.
The banburee has the most wonderful staff of anyplace that I have stayed. They took great care of my wife and and I and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. I really felt like I was an honored guest at their home! The staff provided us with many great meals at the resort and all of them were delicious. I can not say enough good things about the staff. They truly made the stay delightful.
The villa we stayed at was very nice. In the morning it has abeatutiful view of the ocean.
The pool was nice. The swimming on the beach was everything I expected it to be.
If large sandy beaches are what you are after, then the south end of the island may not be for you. However if being well cared for and being is a peaceful, tranquil location with beautiful surrounding then I highly recommend this resort.

My sister, my young daughter and I arrived here at 8pm in a storm after being turned away from Centara Resort due to the fact that I only had National Identification on me, and not a passport! Not very funny when you're on a motorbike with a child.

We arrived without much of an expectation...what a great surprise was in store for us!

Late arrival meant that we received a very significant discount for a huge villa right next to the hotel and pool. Although not new or "modern" nobody could wish for more! Outdoor shower, and a massive bath was most welcome after a road-trip around the island. Very clean and well thought-out design for a relaxing stay.

The staff simply could not do enough for us. The night watchman followed us around with his torch all evening!

This location would be wonderful for a long stay as it's close to the brilliant Safari Park, Aquarium, Mummified Monk etc. It's also on the quiet side of the island, which we really prefer.

Stay here!!!

We spent 2 weeks at the Banburee. When we arrive we were upgraded from a Delux room to a delux apartment. The staff could not have been more helpful and the Hotel food was excellent and reasonably priced. A hire car is essential but we did this with no problem through the hotel (cheaper that booking from the UK!). The price for spar treatment was in our opinion too expensive and so went elsewhere for this. We had a discussion about this with the owner who has promised to review this matter. We would certainly recommend this to anyone for its quiet and peaceful surrounding in easy commuting distance from everything.
