Standard bedroom, shower wasn’t all that amazing but was functional. Fridge worked, beds had netting for bugs but didn’t notice too many bugs. Beds themselves weren’t the most comfortable and the sheets were also slightly coarse. Not amazing but the 2 minute walk to the beach was what makes this stay nice. It’s not overly close to too much so taxi and scooter rentals are necessary to do anything besides spending time at the beach

The property has access to a nice beach, but was surrounded by swampy area with mosquitos. They did have mosquito netting over the bed. The location was not close to stores or amenities. It was overpriced for what you got. I chose not to stay there at all and found another hotel.

No Blues at Raven Blue

Raven Blue is so well situated near to the beach and many restaurants and bars. Excellent hosts and staff ensure high standards of cleanliness and hospitality. Its owners also owns an excellent restaurant nearby that should be utilised as it offers a different dining experience. Great value and comfortable accommodation..with beach bars a few metres walk .. just go there !.

A green light for Raven Blue, just Brilliant

Overall the Raven Blue offers excellent value and comfortable accommodation with a friendly obliging staff and owner Don. It is very well situated with a beautiful beach and fun filled bar a stroll away. The breakfast is very good with omelette if required cooked for you and plenty fruit and tea or coffee to start your sunny day. The owner Don is very obliging and knowledgeable on every level so you’re in good hands at this hotel.

This is a little gem and I ended up staying longer than planned (9 days in total). I am a solo woman traveller and Raven Blue suited me very well. The place is small, cozy, and laid back. Rooms are simple but sufficient with a good bed, silent AC, shower bath room, and a nice little patio outside your room with a hammock. Good wifi. The place is a very short walk to a wonderful beach (but far enough so that the party music does not keep you awake). Also walking distance to Kohub and to many wonderful restaurants a little further down the coast. Raven Blue provides a good breakfast and also offers a convenient and cheap laundry service. Super nice and helpful staff. Would come again.

Just stay here!

Less than 10 rooms! Owner is awesome, as the other reviews have covered, it’s the kind of place you’re happy to give your money to. Long Beach is the best beach to be on, rent a scooter to get to the rest. We booked 2 days, and stayed for 6, you do the math. Those looking for an on the beach resort, all inclusive type place, you can find that elsewhere. Those looking for a comfy spot, bang for your buck, and wanting to explore the island, Raven Blue is for you!

Highly recommended

Don is really a great host. The bungalows are really clean and feel brand new. This place is highly recommended. Even though it’s not beachfront, there is a small road that goes directly to the beach (2mins walking distance). I highly recommend this place.

Good value and facility for the price

We realise this part of Koh Lanta was too busy and developed for us and the south was much nicer. However if you want to stay in the area this place is good value- the beach and beach bar at the end of the dirt road were very close and a great asset as well

For Discerning Travelers

Blue Raven is excellent value for the discerning traveler. The owner is friendly, helpful, and communicates clearly and positively with the guests. His small staff consists of pleasant people. Blue Raven is an easy walk down to the beach, and it's just far enough away so that party noise remains on a distant periphery. Rooms are semi-spartan yet very clean. The small table with two chairs and the hammock are excellent touches for the small porch.

Fantastisk sted.

Hyggeligste oase, tæt på vandet og butikker, men trukket tilbage så man ikke er generet af vejen.

Lille sted med få værelser hvilket gør det endnu hyggeligere.

God morgenmad som laves ved bestilling, nok Kho lantas bedste frisk lavet pandekager.

Sødeste vært.

Die sehr einfach gehaltenen Unterkünfte liegen direkt neben einem Partyhotel in dem zwei- bis dreimal wtl. sehr laut bis früh am morgen gefeiert wird oder es ist Party am Strand. Also, alles andere als ruhig. Frühstück ist gut. Wir würden uns für das Geld beim nächsten Mal für eine andere Location entschieden.

Points positifs : à échelle humaine. Calme. Proximité de la plage. Près des bons restaurants à pied. Hamac.

Points négatifs : petits déjeuners à améliorer : café en poudre, pas de céréales, ni de yogourt. Pas de variété dans les fruits du matin. Nous sommes restés une semaine. Toujours pareil !!
Pas de coffre-fort.

Manque de rangement dans les chambres. Pas de crochets. On doit laisser traîner nos sacs à dos par terre.

Great value for money - good location

First time in Lanta. Arrived here and stayed 6 nights. Good and clean rooms. 2 minute walk to the beach. Nice and sinple breakfast is included and cooked for you each morning. They also provide refils for your water bottles to reduce plastic waste. Laundry service. Motorbike will be provided if needed. Conviniently located for roaming around the island. The owner Don will help you with anything you need. Higly recommend this place. Only negative is a couple beach party places making some noise a few times a week close by but it was not too bad and ended quite early. In the mornings this place has a beautiful atmosphere with jazz music on at breakfast.

Es sind nur 50m bis zu einem ruhigen Strandabschnitt und einer netten Strandbar. Die besten Restaurants (wie Pattys secret garden und Fruit Tree lodge) sind schnell auch fußläufig zu erreichen.

Riktigt bra

Litet hotell som är en liten dold pärla. Nära till stranden, dock en liten bit in till stadens centrum. Ca 60-70 baht per person med Tuktuk in till stan. Ett litet tips till er som kommer till piren, betala inte mer än 200 baht från piren till hotellet, vi blev lite lurade (blåögda svenskar som vi är) ;-). Don som äger stället är hur trevlig och hjälpsam som helst!

Bra o billigt

Litet personligt boende. Det var inte långt till stranden. Dock fanns inte några stolar eller solskydd på denna strand. Det fanns en mkt trevlig restaurang 100 m till vänster. Bra mat o trevlig personal. En drinkbar fanns också. Vi bodde i ett ytterrum o ac orkade inte riktigt med. Då fick vi ha ac på hela dagen. Bra service! Det kunde finnas ytterligare avställningsytor i rummet plus en papperskorg till. Värden trevlig o serviceminded. Bra sängar. Nytt o fräscht. Vi kommer tillbaka igen. Frukosten helt ok..

Underbart minihotell

Vi bodde på Raven Blue i 13 nätter och är supernöjda! Hotellet har endast 7 rum som ligger som en radhuslänga. Alla rum har en liten uteplats med hängmatta och bord & stolar.

Hotellet drivs och ägs av supercharmiga Don. Han är en ung kille som är otroligt hjälpsam, pratglad och inbjudande.

Det erbjuds städning varje dag om man ber om det genom att häng ut en skylt.

Frukost serveras av en mycket rar kvinna som ger dig ägg i den form du vill ha, frukt, korv och toast.

Long beach är 2 minuters promenad bort och direkt på stranden finns en bar och en liten bit bort finns en restaurang med eventuellt Koh Lantas godaste mat.

Vi skulle definitivt bo här igen då det är mycket hemtrevligt, rent och bekvämt.
