    It’s at the bottom end of Chaweng beach which is the quieter area, we didn’t want to drive or rent a bike so it was a bit more expensive to get taxis and grabs from this location.

    It was a nice hotel within walking distance to mini mart, shops, and restaurants. The beach access was good and the pool was great to cool down in and very quiet every time we used it.

    We didn’t have any hot water, there’s was only about 8 sun beds by the pool and there was a random piece of metal sticking out of the floor in the room that I think was an old door stop but I cut my foot quite badly on it

    The room was nice and the beds were comfy. All the staff were very friendly

    Tiles in the pool were a little broken and the kids cut their toes a few times on them. I highly recommend aqua shoes

    Location was great, as it was right next to the beach and a short drive away from samui central and fisherman's market

    The place is called Samui First House, and although it could actually be, the building gives off the vibe that it was the first house built in the island. It’s very run down and dirty. The staff weren’t exactly welcoming at checkout and couldn’t seem to be bothered. The pool looked dirty and it was far from the centre, which isn’t advertised on the site.

    The bed was comfortable and the value for money was fine. The rooms were clean.

    No lift and when you are on the second floor it was not easy for older or bigger guests. Bulb out in bathroom, hallway, balcony and lighting outside room not working so it was dark when returning to the room at night. No tv in the room as advertised, a day later a TV was given to us, but it was Android TV so not great as it worked off WiFi which brings me to the WiFi which was poor and dropped signal all the time so not good for Android tv, so no point having a TV in the room. No shower curtain, only hooks and a pole, so water would go everywhere when showering. No tea in room No mini bar as advertised. Mould around bath and botched grouting in places. A lot of dust in room. Balcony windows dirty. Looks like only half the rooms were being used, the others were a mess as could be seen as doors were open. Very quiet area, many shops closed down and away from the main area, you need to hire a motorcycle, or rely on taxis to get around. Breakfast not great, same thing more or less every day, and some days the birds would land on the tables while you eat or at the buffet area, one day they got at some food before the guests did. No safety there with electrics at breakfast when they had two toasters and a double hot plate running of an extension which then melted when a lot of guests tried to make toast at the same time, it was then unplugged and people went without toast, they could have moved the table a few meters and plugged them directly into the wall a lot safer. WiFi not good. Mattress on the bed really hard for me.

    The air-conditioning was new so nice and cold. The pool was nice to relax and cool down. Very quiet area. Staff friendly.

    1. Mattress is very very very hard! 2. Here is not enough sunbeds on the beach and it’s a real problem.

    I liked this vacation more than vacation a year ago in the First Bungalow. Firstly, the rooms are very quiet, I didn't hear my neighbors at all. In the First Bungalows it's louder. Secondly, I liked the breakfasts and coffee more here. And the coffee mugs are not small! The staff is excellent and friendly. The cleaning in the rooms was perfect. Check-in was quick. Thank you, it was a very nice vacation.

    It does need a new lick of paint, but all cosmetic things, bed was hard for me but fine for the rest of family.

    Think some of the reviews are unjust, booked 2 rooms for a family and both were fine, if you are used to a thai style hotel then you will have no problems staying here.
