“Love that place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

We're lucky to get the best house in the village-right on the beach sand and fantastic views. Best restaurant in that area. We will definitely come back when we will be again in Koh Phangan. Note: be careful with motorbike rentals in the town, specially shinny ones, they'll rip you off on the return. Never leave your passport as the security!

“misleading”

We booked here from the internet in the uk for the full moon party and we were quite pleased with ourselves as it looked lovely and it was very cheap. However, our smiles were soon wiped off our faces once we arrived. Firstly, there was no sort of information as to where the reception is when you come off the main road, someone staying in the huts had to come out to tell us where to go. Once we had checked in to our bungalow hut this is where it started to go down hill....the room could just about fit a bed in it and the walls around the ceiling had massive gaping holes so basically anything could crawl in at night. The bathroom was disgusting, no hot water (which was not advertised online) and no flush on the toilet, so you had to use a pan of water. We ended up upgrading to a room that actually had no holes in it and it came with aircon but no fridge or t.v. The amount you are paying is way over the top compared to elsewhere and we would not recommend anyone to come here. The only saving grace was the beach, it was gorgeous and there were a good couple of bars on the beach, one bar had a fire show (we saw these people performing at the full moon party).
Food in the restaurant was reasonable and the taxi to the full moon was not badly priced (not that you had a choice mind). Staff need to work on their customer service skills, not very friendly which is offputting.
I would suggest looking elsewhere as this is really bad value for money

“Terrible - Not what it looks like”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

We checked into this hotel with enthusiasm after seeing the pictures on the internet, and lets just say they are a little misleading.

The rooms are tiny, very run down and had a funky smell to it. The door to the room couldn't close properly as the wood around the handle was broken...but that wasn't the biggest surprise.

That lay in the bathroom which was just disgusting. When we checked in, there was a dead Gecko on the toilet seat with ants eating it...which suggested they obviously hadn't come through to clean it in a little while.

The sheets had stains and as far as "Sea View" goes, well I guess if I twisted my neck out from the balcony then I did get a glimpse of about 1m of the sea.

We stuck around for all of 5minutes before walking down the beach to find better accommodation, which we did at almost every other place we looked at. Some of the other hotel owners even laughed when we explained our predicament and said that they quite often get people coming from Baan Panburi looking for other accommodation.

They refused to refund us anything since it was during full moon period, so we were stuck paying for the 3 nights...but was happy to wear this cost if it meant we could get out of there asap. We found a nicer place down the beach and checked in their immediately.

Look, I'm sure if you are traveling on a budget and are used to Hostel/backpacker accommodation then this place might appeal...but anyone looking for a nice beachfront bungalow...steer clear!

“Horrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011 via mobile

We checked in looking forward to the stay pics on Internet looked great. When we got to our rooms they were disgusting. They smelt, sheets had blood stains on them and the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. The view is great but it is a long way out from Thongsala and there really isn't much to do. Would never ever stay here again or recommend it to anyone. When we checked out 5 minutes later they refused to refund us as it was full moon period and they were apparently booked out and had to cancel ther people for us!! No apology at all and extremely rude. The pictures in the Internet are false advertising!
