Koh Samui Hotels with Kitchens

"Pros: - Very well-designed room (storage and furniture layout) - Washing machine (though I didn't find a dryer, as many mentioned) - Excellent cleaning service (we always left a small tip for the ladies) - Bar staff and breakfast service staff - Well-maintained grounds - Pool with always available towels (always crowded, but people rotate, so you can generally find a spot to sunbathe) - Kettle, air conditioner, basic set of dishes - Large box of bathroom amenities, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner - Macro Market right opposite (very cheap groceries) - Be aware of the 3000 baht deposit Cons: - No cooking allowed on the stove (this was not mentioned anywhere) - 5000 baht fine - No flushing toilet paper - 500 baht fine (You are warned about these fines upon check-in and given a memo) - Overpriced room - Breakfasts (you can fill up), but the selection is very modest and always the same. - The hotel is located by the main road, which is difficult to cross. - We had a super unpleasant situation that ruined our departure (we had pre-booked a transfer when we arrived, and we repeated our departure day and the transfer time suggested by the reception staff several times). We were checking out earlier than the paid-for day. - Garden view (essentially, you don't have a balcony, it's just a small square. We were on the 1st floor in a side room that people constantly walked past, and there was nowhere to dry clothes). I don't recommend taking a first-floor room. We stayed in building 2 (no noise). There's construction nearby, next to building 5, where the reception is. Also, there are water restrictions and outages starting on the island (check with the hotel about these issues). Conclusion: When we checked out, they simply forgot about us. There was no transfer, and we had to hastily order a BOLT taxi ourselves (super service here), and the taxi arrived very quickly. The hotel staff just shrugged their shoulders and were also unprepared for our departure. If you plan to book a transfer, remind the staff about it (but honestly, if they forget things so easily, there's a risk you might be without it even with a reminder)."

"Overall, it was okay, but I felt the price was a bit high. The soundproofing was really good, with a double balcony. Our windows faced the road, but we slept perfectly well – only the air conditioning made noise! The beach is nice, the sand is a bit coarse in places, not like flour, but quite comfortable, almost like a massage. You don't have to walk far for good depth either. There were no problems with sun loungers, but we usually arrived early; by lunchtime, there were none available (but I guess that's common everywhere). Housekeeping was daily, no complaints there. Breakfast: buffet style, modest, but you definitely won't go hungry. Three types of eggs, rice/potatoes/noodles, pancakes/fritters, always soup, cheese, one type of sausage, one type of hotdog, salad, vegetables, bread, croissants, jams, three types of fruit: watermelon, pineapple, and something else that varied, various cereals with milk, tea, coffee, juices (from a carton). The coffee and tea are brewed in teapots, not from a machine. We only stayed a few days, so it wasn't a big issue. The bath leaks a little, but there's even a drain for it, as if they specifically anticipated and solved this problem with a drain. It just feels like you expect a bit more for the price. The staff are good. The massage parlor across the street is recommended."

"Very good resort, awesome location in Lamai. Walking distance to everything you need. Beach is a 3 minute walk and is excellent. Booked a pool view room for 6 nights and absolutely loved it. All the staff are so friendly and lovely. Breakfast is ok, probably better to get somewhere else but still good tobhave the option. Would highly recommend"

"I stayed in a villa for 16 days with my own private pool out of sight of other guests. I have an ileostomy bag hanging off my stomach and feel I need to cover up when in public pool areas. The private pool was absolutely fantastic for me, being able to swim anytime I felt like it without being conscious of my bag. Truly fantastic for me. Facilities were right up there, everything you could want. The lovely cleaning ladies were excellent and had personality, although they probably didn't understand a word I said. Never stopped smiling. The hotel is slightly out of the way, but nothing on a scooter or in a Grab, the traffic was generally light and very courteous. Highly recommend the hotel and would stay there again in a heartbeat."

"We stayed in a room on the second floor with a balcony. Overall, we liked everything, the only downside was the damp smell from the fabric headboard of the bed and the bedding. Breakfasts were varied, with fruits, vegetables, meat, yogurts, etc. The pool was clean and the sun loungers were comfortable. There's an elevator. Check-in was strictly after 3 PM. They took a 1000 baht deposit, which was returned upon check-out. It's a 7-minute walk to the sea. All necessary shops and cafes are nearby. The night market is a bit far, but walkable. However, buying fruit turned out to be a problem, as there are no fruit stalls. Overall, we had a positive impression of our stay."

"This was a very well located hostel, just a couple minute walk to the main Beach entrance. The pool is really nice and the times are large and comfortable. Tons of restaurants and bars nearby but quiet at night. Excellent choice in Lamai."

"Comfortable, clean, and pleasantly surprised. This is my third time in Koh Samui, and I have stayed in several of the most popular hotels. This time I want to change to some new hotels. This time I booked a seaside homestay for the first three nights, and stayed here for the last night. Because there are three children in the family, we need two rooms, and this two-bedroom and one-living room is just right. The whole design of the room is very comfortable, the details are especially clean, and the living room and dining table facing the beautiful scenery are really pleasing to the eye. The key is that the price-performance ratio is super high at more than 2,000 a night👍👍👍"

"Everything was excellent: the service, the location, the breakfast, and the front desk staff, especially the check-in process. I particularly want to highlight the Guest Relations Manager, Ms. Mew, who made sure to speak to all guests every morning during breakfast to ensure everything was okay. She even went out of her way to help me with something she wasn't obligated to. Always smiling and incredibly kind, as was the rest of the hotel staff who were always ready to assist with any request. I was with my daughter's family, and they share my high regard for this place, even submitting their own separate review. Thank you very much to you and the entire team. We'd love to come back and will gladly recommend it. The price absolutely justifies the experience."
