    Nothing to dislike.

    The most pleasant, modern looking accomodation, clean, spotless , comfy bed. Mr Yim very friendly helpful and makes sure that all his guests are taken care of. He was there to welcome me and made sure that I was settling in okay, showed me where to find shops and restaurants around the area, he even drove me to Old town at a reasonable fee and waited for me to shop around. He bought us treats for breakfast when I opened the door in the morning there were outside my room. I felt very special . I highly recommend this place. There's free coffee in the rooms, free water. Good value for money as well. It is close to the beach, in a quiet area. I will return when I visit Thailand again.

    Mr Yin - he was very helpful Arranged anything in a heartbeat - asked him where to rent a bike and within 10 mins a bike was there for 200 a day. I recommend renting a bike, the island is very spaced out and doesn’t really have a centre Room was clean and modern

    The bed was a little hard but I don’t mind that

    The owner Mr Yim was so helpful and welcoming! He gave great local recommendations and helped with booking buses etc. He also brought fresh watermelon one day. Overall it’s a quiet location close to a few good restaurants and 5 minutes from the beach. The place was clean and there was water and towels in the room too.

    Fantastic stay. Mr Yim was awesome. Sorted out our day trips, return journey and would bring us sticky rice and fruit. Good location, short walk to the beach. Plenty of restaurants near by and a small shop.

    Lanta Smile Inn and Mr. Yim, the owner and manager, are the best!! What a fabulous stay we had🥰. The facility is well-stocked with everything and is squeaky clean. Mr. Yim goes out of his way to make everything perfect for his guests. He knows everything, and/ or will find out from tours to where to find things. The daily fruit and snacks are just the cherry ontop. We extended our stay with another few nights and will be back. We have made a good friend.

He went above and beyond to make our stay perfect even driving us to our next location in his tuktuk. We will definitely stay again. Thankyou Mr Yim :)

    Nothing it was all modern, if there were any problems and Mr. Yim would sort anything (finished your coffee / needed a taxi/ tour booked) We had no issues at all. Would stay here again!

    When we arrived we were greeted by Mr. Yim who was extremely friendly and also gave us a plate of fresh papaya fruit whilst he took down our details. He was very helpful if we needed anything like tours, taxi, scooter hire. He even got us discounts. Every afternoon when we returned from our days out, we were given complimentary fresh fruit to share. I highly recommended staying here. On our last day he even gave me a lift on his scooter to a shop when I forgot to buy food for my travels.

    Absolutely beautiful hidden gem! This place is perfect, I only booked for 2 days but extended my stay for 5nights. The location is great, opposite long beach and on the same road as many restaurants. Mr Yim the owner was amazing and very accommodating from the moment I arrived and he feeds you lots of fresh fruit! You can book everything through him for a very good price. I booked a 4 island tour with him. Laundry service is also available and very fast! The rooms are very comfortable with ac, fridge, kettle, hot water and a nice patio to sit outside. Room was cleaned with new bedding, towels etc. A very relaxed and chilled place, I will definitely come back and stay here.

    This was our third stay at Lanta Smile Inn. It's our favourite place to stay in Koh Lanta. It's clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Yim is such a wonderful host. He is always there to help you out and regularly provides fresh fruit and snacks, which is so kind. Pop the cleaner is also super friendly and smiley. Thanks Yim for another great stay! :)

    The room had I everything I needed, were clean and comfortable just off the main road which meant it was quiet at night. The game changer is Mr Yim, the owner. He is very caring and can help you with anything you may need from giving you fresh fruit to helping you book trips, rent scooters, do laundry and more. In my case in particular I had maade a mistake and booked the room for the wrong days and I only realised when he was texintg me via booking to see what time I'm coming. I apologised, cancelled the booking but because it was too late he had no obligation to refund me. He was kind enough to only charge me for the first two of the 7 nights I had booked and refunded me the rest. He had no obligation to do this and for that I am grateful to him.

    The place is very simple but nice, quite and clean. It gives great value for its price. There is only about 10 mins nice walk to the nearest beach, which was absolutely fascinating. The owner was at our disposal practically all day and he arranged everything we asked for. My friend had a birthday and they decorated our room for that day and made our evening really pleasant.
