Originally we booked a beach front bungalow with a porch and hammock and AC. We booked this hotel online, and were forced to book for 7 nights due to high season New Year's Eve full moon party. After payment I received an email saying the room was overbooked and that they moved us into a fan room (no AC) and no beach view. We were refunded the difference (not very much) and although we were unsure if we could handle the heat we accepted as there was limited accommodation left for this time on the island. Upon arrival we were greeted and given the keys to our villa. It was horrible. It was dirty, unfinished (concrete?) floors, stained sheets, bugs, disgusting bathroom, and horribly hot. We immediately felt sick, and knew we could not stay here for a week. We returned to front desk and asked for our money back or a room change. They could not give our money back, but had someone come in and change the sheets right away. We begged to change rooms or have a refund. They offered us to spend two nights there then change to a different AC room, they even let us checkout the future room to make sure it would be ok. We toughened it out the two nights (which was absolutely horrible) and the next day around 4pm they came to tell us they had a beach front bungalow available for us. We had to add 400 baht between the four of us, very little, and got upgraded to a massive villa with a huge deck right on the beach that was very clean and lovely. This new villa was night and day from the initial room. We were very happy with this room change. We began to know all the staff members, ate at the restaurant quite  often, swam in the ocean and lay on the beach. There were nice hammocks available. The resort beside also has a beautiful outdoor shower that we used everyday (no one said we couldn't) . This resort is located in thongsala, walking distance to the ferry terminal and night market and restaurants. We took a taxi to the full moon party for 100 baht a person. This resort is run by what seems to be a family, the staff members always seem to be around doing various jobs, but often you need to approach them if you want to order food or need help. At first this put us off but eventually as the week went by we were very comfortable here. One staff member (I think her name was Ben) was even helpful in booking us a tour and suggesting small less known beaches and restaurants and when to go to avoid the crowds and how to scooter to them. It was quite funny how by the end of the week we were very sad to leave, and we are actually returning to this island again during our travels. We are not staying at the same resort, only to try something new, but we plan to go say hi. Good location. 

Was a 1/5, then turned out to be a 4/5!

Honestly, the bungalow that i booked scared me the first night. I was traveling on a budget and selected a fan room ( I advise to get an acon room). The room itself was okay ... Bare minimum (bed with sheets and towels) I would have rated this place a 4 if I had an acon room :) ( my own fault right!?) the beach was nice , some seaweed patches and tide very low during the day but the water is so nice that you not notice . I stayed here during the full moon party and although it was about 15 -20 minutes & 100 bhat to the party I did not mind. Most villas have hammocks on the doorstep and with the hot and humid days they come in very handy.( I literally spent the whole day after the full moon party in one) The staff was very friendly and helpful with every need. The food and drinks weren't too expensive. Met a few amazing people while here too as everyone is friendly. Overall I would recommend a stay here as you get a great value for your buck. And the sunset and beach view are an added bonus. 


Value ... On the beach 

They tried to give us a bungalow we hadn't booked at first but eventually after 3 attempts we finally got a similar bungalow.  The bungalows are ok, can't complain too much for the money.  The fan only serves one bed in a twin which means the other person gets very hot at night.  The staff were friendly and helpful.  The restaurant food isn't great and a little more expensive than the abundance of places on the beach.  
Location wise - we stayed for the full moon party a taxi was 100B each way and plentiful. Walking distance into town, the beach is right by the bungalows but beware the tides on Koh Phangan mean high water is only on one side of the island for basically 6months of the year (we walked out about 400m and the water was still shin height).  
The owner was lovely and even give us a lift to the ferry when we were in a rush.  

Wouldn't stay here again but not awful. 


Ok for the money 

We booked this accommodation for the full moon party. For the price we paid we can't say our expectations were too high, but this didn't really match those standards. The staff have very little English. Passport being the only word we heard when we got there. We were lead to our room, which didn't lock and the rotten door was not stopping ants and insects crawling in. When we asked to see other rooms, we were told they were better but all seemed to be of the exact same standard. 

Not impressed

We had booked a room through a booking website. After traveling for the whole day we expected that everything will be in place but we were very dissatisfied. On reaching the hotel the lady said that we will have to wait for 40 minutes since the room was not ready. This she said after making us wait for 1 hour. When we asked her to make it fast she was very rude in replying and said that " people come to stay for more than 3 days and you are coming for only 1 day you will have to wait". Then one guy came and said that our booking was cancelled and showed a mail to us in Thai which we could not understand. The booking site customer care confirmed that we had not cancelled still the hotel guys were very rude in their behaviour but finally they provided us a room after making us wait for more than 2 hours. The rooms were very small and the roofs were infested with termites. No hot shower facility. They do not even offer water. We went to the next door hotel and they gave us water for no charges.
The hotel is very far from the pier and probably the last one on the street.
This was the worst experience I ever had. The people were conveniently lying so that they could get new customers at higher prices.  Please do not visit this hotel. Infact I would suggest the booking sites to remove it from their list as well.
