The bamboo huts, common area and restaurant were really nice. It was clean, close to the beach and the food was good. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. A really nice option if you want to stay on sunrise beach.

Pay extra go elsewhere.

Was expecting basic and it was very basic. Loads of mosquitoes - take lots of repellent. Had a few visitors (cocktoaches) which we were expecting from previous reviews - it was a bamboo hut in the jungle afterall - it meant we never fully relaxed. Mosquito nets did their jobs at night and fans worked. Hut was very dark and one of the sets if lights didnt work. Bedding didnt feel particularly clean -bottom sheet had rips in. Breakfast at resort was a pricey option of toast or cereal with yoghurt. Sunrise Beach was beautiful and resort next door was lovely for breakfast / lunch. Could snorkell off the beach

we booked accommodation for 3 nights because it was the cheapest on the island. unfortunately, it is located quite far from the events in the city. there are really a LOT of mosquitoes 1 cm in size, if not bigger. The resort is located near a construction site and a gypsy village, which is not pleasant to walk through at night.

Large bamboo bungalow

The resort is nice. Not to far to the main walking street. The only down side is the music being played from the local village late into the night. Overall a good experience.

Bamboo Bungalow

For a basic bamboo family bungalow within walking distance to the beach this was perfect.

Cute place

I like the bamboo bungalows they are cute for a beach stay where scuba is the main attraction. No enough towels on resort to change every day you may want to bring your own. As expected a lot of mosquitos - but the beds are well netted so you will sleep well with fan. But bring mosquito deet spray 90% and up!

Great value and location

Had a fantastic stay at Forra Dive (Sunrise beach) - came for 3 nights and stayed for 6. Great location 1 minute walk from beach. Huts clean and good mosquitoe net - love outdoor bathroom. Others have commented re mosquitos (it'a Thailand!) worse between 530-730pm cover up/use bug cream. There is music most nights from the local village but it never bothered us.....and seemed to go off by 11ish. Overall great location, friendly hosts and great value for money.

Worst Hotel

I honestly believe this was the worst place I have stayed in during with 5 months of backpacking around South East Asia.

The noise was so bad we had to get sleeping tablets from the pharmacy to be able to sleep. From 6am untill midnight the village which is just behind the huts blasts out dance hits and an unbelievably loud volume. We followed the source of the noise thinking it would lead to a club and it genuinely just led to a small hut with very large speakers.

When it rains it is extremely difficult to get to the huts. It becomes a dirt track and we had to wade through the water several times.

The hotel is basic which for us was okay. You get what you expect. We did have frogs and bugs come through the bamboo which was a pain but not unexpected. The showers are out in the open so you do sometimes catch a glimpse of someone bathing too.

The resort will not provide you with toilet paper. We asked for it and they said no. When we asked where we could buy it they said they would rather we didnt because \"European people cant remember not to put it in the toilet\". I thought this was incredibly rude and insulting. When you do want to talk to someone about issues you are met with a lot of people smoking weed and eveyone having a say on what your problem is - its not even clear who works there and who is just there to get stoned.

Overally I would avoid this place at all costs. The noise is so bad that it really wrecked our whole experience on Koh Lanta.

Convenient location, ok bungalows.

The bungalow was good comfortable and clean stay.

On our arrival we found a cat under the bed, which didn't bother us too much, but he and onether cat kept returning. Other than that it was very clean.

The bed had a mosquito net around it at all times.

There was a fan fitted in the room, however it didn't work too much and the room got very hot, especially in the net.

The bathroom is located outside the back of the bungalow. The toilet and sink are under a shelter but the shower is open.

The location is very good. The reception is on Sunrise beach and the bungalows are just behind, less than a 2 minute walk. Walking street, shops and restaurants are all very close.

Nice hotel, nice beach

Other than local karaoke almost every night and it is quite far from walking street, i have a pleasant stay. The resort is so clean, so beautiful and room is clean. No air-conditioning but it is quite cold during night time.

The bungalow and the surrounding area in the resort was great and exactly what I expected from the pics. The locals that live close by we very loud and kinda ruined what could have been a very peaceful and relaxing place. The \"daily\" housekeeping did not happen either.

Stedet sørgede ikke for hverken toiletpapir eller håndsæbe, så det skal man være forberedt på selv at skulle ud og købe. Man skal være forberedt på at bo i en bambushytte ud lydisolering liggende op af en hønsegård med haner der larmer fra 4-7 om morgenen.

Bra o fina bungalows. Enkelt men fantastiskt prisvärt. Trevlig personal och ägare.
Bra att man kan fylla dricksvatten o spara flaskor. Bra restaurang med frukost, lunch/middag. Nära allt inkl bästa stranden.

Bungalow- holder med en natt. Autentisk opplevelse

Ingen aircondition, som vi visste. Det var veldig varmt selv med vifte. Madrassen hadde bedbugs. De som jobbet dere var hyggelige og svarte gjerne på spørsmål. Om man vil ha en autentisk opplevelse funker det. Men det holdt med en natt.

A Perfect Beachside Getaway

I recently had the pleasure of staying in a charming bungalow at this wonderful hotel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The location is unbeatable – just steps away from the beach, allowing for easy access to stunning views and relaxing strolls along the shore.

The bungalow itself was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, providing a perfect balance of comfort and tropical charm. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always going out of their way to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Whether it was answering questions, arranging activities, or just greeting me with a warm smile, they made me feel truly welcome.

Overall, my stay was fantastic, and I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a peaceful beachside getaway. I’ll definitely be returning in the future!

Värt pengarna!

Utöver att detta bara fanns fläkt och ingen ac (vilket vi redan visste) så tycker jag att det var ett väldigt bra boende i förhållande till priset!! Nära till stranden och stora sällskapsytor med gratis vattenpåfyllning. Men räkna med att du vaknar upp helt svettig, men å andra sidan kan du skölja av dig snabbt under öppen himmel i din privata dusch!

Bamboo Bungis in unmittelbarer Strandnähe

Wir hatten den Family Bungalow mit 2 großen Betten , viel Platz, mehrere Ventilatoren, große Terrasse mit Hängematte, Bad war halboffen so dass man unter freiem Himmel duschen konnte, Wasserdruck okay, warmes Wasser zum Duschen, es gab einen Gemeinschafts Sitzbereich der sehr gemütlich war, Trinkwasser aus dem Spender kostenlos, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, nur wenige Meter zum Strand, alles in allem eine super Unterkunft
