    Pandora by Jida is the ultimate home away from home

    The rooms, pool, and overall vibe are super cool with a unique, fun design that feels totally different from a regular hotel. Jida, the owner, is an incredible host—she genuinely helped with every part of my trip and made my stay in Koh Samui unforgettable. The location is perfect: right in the heart of Chaweng, but just far enough to enjoy quiet, restful nights. Highly recommend!

    During our trip through Thailand, Malaysia and Singapur this was the less expensive hotel, but regarding service the best. The approach to guests was so friendly that we felt more like visiting friends than as hotel guests.

    The owners really put thought into the space. It's very unique and very cozy in the same time. The garden is lovely and the pool seems inviting. There are a lot of restaurants in the area, the one across the street is very good. Unfortunately, we only stayed one night on the way to the airport. Next time we'll stay longer.

    Property is a little tired especially the pool.

    The property is hidden away giving the feeling of privacy. Hosts are amazing helpful and kind. What is lacking in luxury is made up for in charm. Breakfast is a must. Near the beach but not on top of it.

    Lovely little hotel, Jida and her husband were brilliant, very helpful and sorted out all our trips and taxis. Nice beach and lovely bar called 'Your Place'. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Air con in the room works very well. Also best Mojito in Thailand. Also PIG ISLAND IS A MUST

    Nothing, all good

    Wow, this place feels like homecoming! Jida and Bibi are really kind and welcoming. We had a full day of heavy rain but still really enjoyed with each other talking and joking. Nice little pool where you can cool down when it is hot and some nice chairs around the pool. Good breakfast and you can also have lunch or dinner. Comfortable room with good bed. Definitely coming back to this place when we will stay again in Koh Samui. Jida can also help you with everything like: renting a scooter, taxi, tours and all that kind of stuff for fair prices. Ps: Pet Captain the dog, he is really lovely

    This is an absolute gem of a place! The decor has a tasteful Moroccan feel and the property is very homely and peaceful. We were lucky to have a beautiful cosy outdoor patio area too. Jida the host is incredibly welcoming and friendly, she made us feel totally at home throughout our stay. She was always on hand for anything we needed.

    The staff is very helpful and very kind. Thanks to Jida and her Husband. I recommend to get the breakfast include adjoin the hotel. This Hotel is very quiet and just at 10mn on foot from the Main street. If you want you can rent a motorbike too at this Hotel and they will provide Helmet. Beach is near from the Hotel, you just need to cross the road and walk 100m.

    The pool...we did not use it, was a bit small

    Beds and spaceousness of the rooms. Its a bit far located from chaweng center but taxis are affordable and hotel is located at main road, so not really an issue. The host, Jida is a real gem, friendly, bubbly personality. She was very friendly when we asked for a late checkout due to delayed flights. We had a pleasant stay, and the hotel is worth the money. If we ever get back to chaweng she will certainly see us again

    The place is amazing. Not far from the night life, and several night markets, but still like a bubble, in nice, cozy and calm environment. The host Jida and her husband Bibi goes extra mile to accommodate in every aspects. It felt like we came to hope away from home. Highly recommend the stay, we will most definitely come back. The place deserves a 11 out of 10.

    Nothing! It was super clean! Breakfast was very little but not a deal breaker!

    Great location, has 7 11 right next door, has good restaurants walking distance and it’s walking distance to Ark bar and other night life but also in a quiet place so it’s a wonderful location. The hostess Jida is wonderful, friendly, and keeps her place spotless! The bungalow room we got was super clean and quiet! They give bikes on rent without any hassle and just very warm and friendly! Will surely recommend and return! Thanks jida!
