For anyone who's nervous about the "bamboo" part, these simple but sturdy bungalows are insulated inside with fiber walls to keep out the critters.  Each one has a furnished porch, high-quality wood floors and furnishings, comfy bed with cascading mosquito net, and a clean concrete bathroom behind.  The whole place is nestled into a birch grove and beautifully landscaped by the landowner.  

Charlie Beach is five minutes' walk away, and motorbikes and bicycles are available for rent out front for exploring the rest of the island.  Most importantly, however, the couple who runs the place are the sweetest people ever.  They were unfailingly helpful and can organize any excursion you need.  I also loved the vegetables in the scrambled eggs.

Perfectly Simple

I love this place. Stayed twice in the last few months. Absolutely lovely bamboo bungalows with en suite bathroom. Run by the loveliest couple on Koh Mook who can't do enough for you. A few metres to Charlie Beach it is set with its own pond in a charming area of jungle with monkeys, monitor lizards, chameleons, butterflies, cats and dogs.

Cosy intimate resort.

It's a good place for backpackers. 
Simple bamboo bungalows. Super friendly stuff. The owners helped us organize all the trips. Advised us also to go to the emerald cave by kayak in the morning, which was great idea btw.
Moreover, the location of the bungalows is just perfect! So close to the Charlie Beach - the best beach on the island and to the shop ;)

Good for backpackers

I stayed in a room, simple and clean, with fan and mousquito-net, private bathroom. The wifi is excellent ! And all the staff is always here and disponible. I forgot my passport/money/CB and they were very professionnal to send it back to me ! But it's better to make a reservation in advance : good & cheap place are often full ;)

very friendly and helpfull

Bamboo Hut Bungalow Resort is simple, clean and basic traditional Thai bamboo huts or concrete sheds (make sure u specify what you want as we booked the bungalow but were given the shed, which we were happy for in the end as they are much bigger than the huts but the huts are way more charming). This business is family run and the people are great, warm and friendly. The attached restaurant serves lovely Thai food and excellent value for money, we spent loads of time here eating! The WiFi is good and strong and works in the rooms. The rooms are very basic but all your needs are met. They are clean, with fresh sheets + towels and private toilet and shower. No hot water which is typical. Walls are pretty thin in the sheds and you can hear your neighbours. Expect the odd insect or gecko and lots of mozzies and weird smells. We had a fan and mosquito net in our room and nice air flow. Being in a bungalow is one step up from camping and this accommodation is cheap so what you see is what you get and if that’s what you want you will love it here!

Simple, good, great!

Did you ever wish you had Thai cousins with huts near the beach in a tropical island paradise? This is the closest you will find to making that wish come true. 

I stayed for 17 nights in hut #3. It was very clean and had everything I needed. It was the perfect size for one person or two very close people. It's rustic, as all bamboo huts are, but I slept very well with the sounds of nature and flow of fresh air. Don't expect a western style hotel room, this is more like luxury camping. Go in with that expectation, after all you are staying in a bamboo hut for the experience too. I had my own attached bathroom and front porch with seating and hammock. It was perfect for me.

Charlie Beach, or Haad Farang, is only a ten minute walk away. I walked there most days and took a taxi back up the hill for 50 bhat. The village is approx a 15 minute walk in the other direction. The location couldn't be better, very central to everything yet quiet. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive if you need one. They are open air motorcycle side cart taxis. There are no cars on the island. 

There is a small shop very close by with snacks, mosquito spray, sunscreen, toiletries, drinks, etc. There is also a Thai Massage place next door although I didn't try it, it looked very nice. 

Mosquitos were not a problem staying there. There were a few in the restaurant at night but small ones and not at all like the giant ones I saw on the other side of the island near the pier. I had a mosquito net over my bed but honestly never saw any mosquitos in my room. 

Bamboo Hut accepts credit cards, which is really nice as not many places in this price range on Koh Mook do. As of this writing there are no ATMs on the island either. 

There is an on-site restaurant with delicious food, tour and transfer desk, as well as laundry service. Everything you need can be managed from there with the best prices too. I recommend the Emerald Cave tour and snorkeling organized by Kookai. That was the highlight of my trip. 

Make sure to book your transfer from the airport with them, you will pay less than doing it on your own and it was easy. It takes about an hour by minivan from the Trang airport and then a half hour very scenic longboat ride to Koh Mook, then a 5 minute motorcycle taxi to Bamboo Hut.  As of this writing it cost 500 Bhat per person. 

Kookai and Wan are the loveliest people I met in all of Thailand and the perfect hosts. They will definitely make you feel at home. It's my dream to go back there one day to see my new Thai cousins.

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights during a week long stay on the island. We had a fine time in the hut. 

+Wifi - although very temperamental 
+Really nice, helpful staff
+Fan in the hut
+The staff will help organise ongoing journey, bike rental, kayak rental etc at a good price 

-The huts were just a bit too small for 2 people 
-We had a fairly large rat that would poop all over the hut when we were out :(

You must be mindful of the fact that staying in a bamboo hut is a novelty. It comes with its quirks - insects, lizards, frogs and (on rare occasion) rats can get in. The accommodation is not cheap because of this - we still paid around £10 a night, although that's cheap for the island as a whole - as it's simply something that comes with staying in a bamboo hut. Therefore it feels unfair to consider it a negative. Just know what you're getting into before you rock up. 

Nice huts but too small

We had a lovely stay here as a family of 4 (2 and 4 year olds) in two huts.  The huts are basic but clean.  They are not that big, putting our bag next to mattress gave us a space just big enough to walk through to get to the bathroom so best this in mind.  We didn't have a lot of stuff so therefore didn't mind .  At night with the fan on they were very cool and a lot of air travelled through the room - making for a comfortable nights sleep.  Kookai and her husband,Juan? were very friendly and Juan kindly took us to Charlie beach and the village each day as it was too far for our girls to walk in the heat.  They also arranged our onward journey to koh kradan aswell.  
I only gave this three as they were not serving food or drinks whilst we were there.  This was a huge shame as we had read such great reviews of their restaurant. We had also hoped to have eaten at least one meal together after our children had gone to bed knowing the proximity of the restaurant to the rooms.  We did however get to try lots of other restaurants in the area instead so not a huge loss.  We are breakfast here a couple of mornings but to be honest I found the tables a little dirty and the condiments hadn't been wiped over for a long time.  All in all though we have lovely memories of here.
