On arrival the staff seemed very stressed and unfriendly. I made a wrong booking and tried to contact the hotel 9-10x to change the dates, also with the help of the booking platform. Unfortunately the owner was not reachable and did not respond to all emails and phone calls. So I went to the hotel to clarify in person. But the hotel staff was not briefed or trained, had no access to the booking platform and did not want to help me. One employee just went to the kitchen and stopped listening to me while I was asking for his help! A hotel must be reachable for their guests. Phone numbers on google or on the booking platform must be up to date. This is a no go. I paid now 200€ for nothing and had a lot of stress. This was a huge part of my travel budget, this is not how good service looks like. Free cancellation was not allowed. 

I am willing to adjust my review when the hotel finally decides to refund my booking. Thank you

Bad Service and staff horrible

I spent three wonderful days in this charming place. I loved the closeness to Bulow Beach, my favorite beach on the island. 

I also appreciated the fact that the owner drives his guests to and from Walking Street. They even brought me to the pier this morning. 

I really hope to return to this place next year. 

Excellent location 

This resort differently from all the others in the Island is very quite only 11 bungalows I think, all of them faced on the sea, very clean and close to walking street. Amazing private beach with a nice vegetarian bar not part of the resort but highly recommended.
The staff was super nice always happy to help you. Free pick up. Fresh breakfast. Kayak and snorkelling.

Total relax

wooden bungalows in the jungle, accommodation incl. transfer to the centrum and back, it was realy helpful ! nice coffee corner by the reception with free coffee, bananas and some cookies. beautiful beach right down the stairs

nice place near the most beautiful beach

Owned & operated by a very friendly, laid-back Thai family. Do not come here as a needy, demanding, irritable tourist. Come here to detach, let go, and go with the flow. This is not the place to come expecting to be waited on for a low fee. It's a great place to just unplug, meditate, walk along the beach, and chill. "Jame" would often drive his convertible Geo around playing BB King. This place is a great choice. It is on the less busy beach, but you might want that. There is great swimming around the area, and anyway it only takes 10 minutes to walk across the island if you want to see the other beach, which has more traditional longboats. This place is simple, chill, easy breezy, chill, friendly, chill, quiet, and chill. Only about a 10 minute walk from "the main drag" where you can find some affordable Thai Muslim fare and fresh squeezed juices. I would say 3 days is enough for Lipe, unless you are wanting a serious unplug/detach from the utter insanity people call modern life. However, one HUGE caveat for everyone going to Lipe no matter where you stay-      the only way to get to the island is by ferry from the mainland, and you must NOT believe the boat crews when they say "Don't worry, your bags will not get wet, mai pen rai..."  Untrue. Your bags are absolutely guaranteed to get wet, maybe even soaked, by the often intense spray from the overloaded speedboat crashing through rough seas with all the bags piled high totally exposed in the rear of the boat. Do not chance it. First, bring as little as you can to Lipe, and what you must bring, wrap it securely in a plastic bag first. Depending on the seas & weather, the hour-long boat ride can be less than fun. Take Dramamine or ginger beforehand. The boat ride sucks, but the island is (still) a truly great place to spend all day doing absolutely nothing, preferably horizontally. Mosquitos are a plague over all of Thailand, but you will be delighted to know that Golden Cup Balm, Tiger Balm, Icy Hot, or any such muscle ache balm will repel them better than any repellant, and won't wash off easily. It only took me 2 years of trekking to discover that. Now you know.

CHILL CHILL CHILL

I had bungalow with fan, is clean is super calm and just in front you can do snorkelling...amazing, is like one aquarium))) just walking 5 mins you can go walking to Sunrise beac.The staff cares of you, they are lovely <3, they are talkative and helpful people.I will come back !

Amazing snorkelling & lovely staff

Stayed for three nights in the deluxe bed bungalows. Clean fresh room with AC, comfy bed, staff was very helpful at all times.

Crawling distance to beach, walking distance to Lipe walking street (shops and restaurants) but if it's morning or day the staff will drive you and they are always attentive. 

Fantastic stay (cosy and quiet) 

Service 2.5* - The hotel offers a free motorbike taxi service between the hotel and walking Street. The problem here is the motorcycle service was extremely unreliable as the driver often left early, didn't answer his phone and was sleeping on the job. Island life can be tough! 
There is also no room cleaning service, regardless if you stay one day or a week (like we did), which was a disappointment considering the price that we paid.

Rooms 3* - we were given a wooden cabin on the cliff edge overlooking the beach. The view is spectacular but the cabin itself is quite shabby. The bed was relatively comfortable, not sure how clearly actually was. The overhanging mosquito net was nice but had a few holes in it. Fortunately, we were not bitten at night. The bathroom is fibreglass but very basic

Facilities 2* - Free toast and coffee near the reception were a nice touch. However, the hotel does not offer much else. Wifi is free but slow and unreliable. There is no swimming pool, although the sea is on your doorstep and much more spectacular, so we argue that it was not needed anyway.

Location 3.5* -  the hotel is situated in the words on top of a cliff with his own private beach. The location is beautiful during the day but because of the wooded area and close proximity to the waters and expect a few mosquitoes at night. The snorkelling is great right off the beach, but just be aware that during low tide there are numerous slippery rocks and sea agents, both of which can be dangerous. Walking Street is only a 20-minute journey from the hotel on foot, but you'll usually not feel like a walk in the heat up and down hills, especially after an excursion or even after a lazy day on the beach.

Overall score 2.5* - a nice hotel in a beautiful location, which is not too developed with its own private beach. However, very basic, scarce staff and unreliable services considering the price.

2.5* - A beautiful location with private beach but substandard quality and unreliable service.
