Koh Samet Homestays

The best place to stay on the island. Rooms are fantastic and super clean. Food is awesome and the staff you can not fault. So friendly and extremely helpful in any way. We will definitely be staying again. This is a must for all travellers coming to this beautiful island.

Small number, but everything is there. Refrigerator, kettle, hairdryer on request. Beach towels are changed daily. Water, toilet paper, coffee, soap are provided daily. The location is convenient. The staff is polite. Good air conditioning, hot water was always available, the drain was not clogged. Comfortable pillows, soft blanket, hard mattress. Birds sing loudly outside the window, but it's not for everyone. We didn't hear our neighbors at all. Dryer for clothes on the 3rd floor. Very high ceilings. There were no living creatures in the room, only geckos lived in the corridor, which was good. Geckos eat mosquitoes.

One thing should be explained well or the other reviews are not well understood. Runa Runa the best guest house has the beauty of seven different buildings to stay. Based on the type of room you choose to stay in different places. I took the room with Ac and balcony at 750B in April precisely D5. They offer excellent service, mini shower and shampoo kits, tooth cleaning kits, coffee and tea available always, clean hand towels every day if required, 2 bottles of water every day. The mattress is absolutely to be replaced but the rest is money spent well. Quiet location and 10 minutes walk from the beach and 8 from 7/11.

The room is not big, but the exquisite facilities and equipment are very new, very complete, the bed is very comfortable, not very hard. 30 meters from the beach, 800 meters from the cruise terminal. The rooms are all on the second floor with five rooms, the first floor is a coffee shop, and you can enjoy a 10% discount from the coffee shop when you stay at the hotel.

I have stayed at Flamingo Villa before (In the Garden Room), but this time I decided to stay in the loft room, which apparently is called the Family Room. Flamingo Villa is somewhat strange, since the ”Hotel” is basically three rooms within the Samed Your House hotel. Our neighbors actually knocked on our door to try and check in ~ You need to call the phone number for Flamingo Villa in order to check in, as someone will come out to meet you. So, bottom line up front: Flamingo Villa is awesome, but get ready to kill a lot of mosquitos! The owners do a good job of lighting incense sticks to try and keep the them away, but there are fountains around the area and the mosquitos are no joke. I would say I killed at least 10 in our room, so it is super important to make sure you close the sliding doors behind you every time you go in and out of the room. The Family Room was awesome. The lower floor is basically a living room with a large day bed and a big TV with great speakers. The toilet room is separate from the shower. The stairs to the loft are pretty steep, but once you get up there it is really nice. There are two queen beds in the loft, and the glass wall and sliding door separate the bedroom from the main room, which is great because the bedroom has its own AC unit, and the glass keeps out the mosquitoes. The beds were comfortable, but be careful because the ceiling is very low above the beds. The view from up in the loft is very peaceful, and the owners obviously spent a lot of time decorating the place (The Christmas tree was still up while we were there). The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Sai Kaew Beach, and the pier for the ferry is only a 10 minute walk ~ but you can take a mini bus if you would like. The hotel is close to restaurants and stores, and there are two 7-11s close to the beach. We rented a motor bike the last time we were in Koh Samed, but Sai Kaew Beach seems to be the nicest on the island, so we just hung out there. I love Flamingo Villa, and I am sure I will stay there again in the future.

very good location,less than 5 minutes walk from the pier,the observation point is next to the school,and you can walk to the beach,about 5 minutes too. Surrounded by facilities, restaurants, cafes around the accommodation, the accommodation is on the road, of course, it may not be suitable for people who like quiet. Because you will hear some cars, but the location Even if you are a woman and travel alone is convenient. Below the accommodation is a cafe with food and beverages. Good service, beaming, comfortable room, cool air, wifi and smart TV, netflix, youtube, overall worth the price paid. If there is a chance to come back and stay again

Very good. The whole house is very affordable. Clean. Just a short walk to Sai Kaew Beach. Quiet. The housekeeper is very cute. The service is excellent. Love it. Will definitely go back again.

The location is very good. It is quiet in the middle of the bustle and close to Diamond Beach. It is very convenient for sightseeing and eating. It's a pity that the service staff is indifferent. I stayed for three nights and asked for cleaning on the second day. The bath towels were not changed and the wet bath towels were put on my clothes. The bed was not made and there was no hope of changing the bedding. I stopped asking for cleaning on the third day.

Hygiene: clean Environment: Quiet Service: With thoughtfulness

Nearly didn't make the journey due to ill health but thankfully the medication helped. The mini bus dropped us off at Ban Phe speedboat pier where they have staff guiding you across to their office desks and tempt you into buying return tickets for 400baht. I was more interested in getting the cheaper but slower boat. Read it should be around 60baht but was quoted 150 at the speedboat desk. Behind this pier is another pier for the slow boat, a 5 min walk. Went to their office at around 16:00 and was told the 17:00 was 120baht. However, due to lack of customers it might not go. Just booked one way speedboat for 200baht. Upon arrival at Na Dan pier, a sign for slow boat going back said 60 or 70baht? At the pier you also have to pay National Park fee of 200baht per person ( farang price.) Songtheows wait to take you to various places but they are not cheap! Samed Thanee is only just over a km away and 100baht per person. First impressions of rooms were reasonably good. Clean, fridge, decent air con and OK shower. Basic but expected. Some bits need attention in the bathroom, loose tiles etc but for what we paid it was reasonable. Our room was at the back away from the road so nice and quiet. Bring mozzie repellant! Breakfast was included. Choice of either USA style = fried eggs, toast, ham and hot dog sausage or rice soup with meat. Also coffee and juice.It was good for us. Location is not the best, a good 2kms from the main town = 30 min walk along a narrow winding road . Recommend you hire a bike from the hotel owner - only if you can ride a bike as part of the road is bumpy. We know a guy who wrecked his bike when he was returning late and with alcohol. Hotel owner is trustworthy. We were warned by another tourist passing by not to rent from someone further up the road. Most Islanders seem to charge the same 300 baht fixed rate which is quite a bit more than the mainland but includes ⛽. Or 100baht per hour. One place by the pier offered us 3 days for 850baht but we preferred to pay full price at Samed Thanee. The Island is only around 6kms long so you can cover it in one day. The roads are not wide in places and lots of speedbumps but manageable. Read reviews that there was a litter problem but just having left Koh Lipe - which was shocking- this was nowhere near as bad. Koh Samed beaches are lovely. Our favourite was on the West Coast but too quiet to stay there for us.
