    I enjoyed the fresh shower but it's a pity that the pressure of the water was so low. It made you feel like you were showering in slow motion. :D

    It was really cozy. It was also very private and you had a good view. Everything is close by, you only have to walk up or down a lot of stairs. But they'll gladly help you to carry your luggage!

    It’s not advertised but the steps leading up the resort are long and difficult with luggage even for the fittest of people. The staff on reception was welcoming but the other staff did not try to integrate with guests and could be rude at times. The rooms are basic and we accepted no hot water but the water pressure was so bad it took the shower a while to work and getting sand off was impossible. The staff member on the breakfast area tried to scare off monkeys from the canteen which we understood but we didn’t appreciate when they tried to bring out a sling shot to scare them off. If your an eco resort you should appreciate and mitigate nature.

    Beautiful location and the huts have great views. Wildlife is plentiful and it was lovely watching monkeys from the breakfast tables. Beds were comfy and clean. The free breakfast included toast, tea and coffee/ juice which was nice.

    The water pressure from the shower was very weak. We wish there was a faucet at the front of the terrace to give us the option to wash our feet from the sand we got from going to the beach.

    Room - our room had fantastic views, it was the highlight of our room. however, the shower was very weak, the bidet can discharge more water compared to the shower head. it would be better also if there is a faucet outside the terrace for the guests to wash their feet after going to the beach. the window in the bathroom should be amply covered as well. the visiting monkeys were a delightful sight to see. Breakfast - the breakfast was amazing! we love the selection of local delicacies and one can brew coffee or toast bread at any time of the day, even on the late hours of the night. Beach - the location is quite a distance from the main swimming area of Railay but otherwise provides superb views and utmost peace from the busy streets and shops that trail the pathway leading to the resort. We were welcomed and bid adieu by their resident butterflies at the entry point. Points of interests - close to Tiew Lay Bar, Last Bar & Restaurant, and shops that offer outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, kayaking, etc.

    It should be noted that the location of the drop-off point for the long boats was on the opposite side of the island from our initial booking location. This was not the fault of the hotel, but rather a misunderstanding caused by the information provided online.

    The location was somewhat inconvenient, and a refrigerator would have been a welcome addition, even if it were shared among the bungalows. The weather has been quite warm, and the lack of cool water did not aid in refreshing oneself. Although this is an experience of true backpacking for the eco friendly

    A lovely stay in the wilderness. Monkeys around the resort. Staff were helpful and friendly. Up some stairs to resort which we didn’t mind but there was a lift for your luggage which was helpful. There is no warm water but we liked this as there was no AC in the room just a fan so it felt very refreshing to have a cold shower

    The location is far away from the main beaches, but let’s be honest, Railay is not that big, so every place is reachable within a 20-minute walking distance, but because of location I would expect it to be quiet, but it isn’t. Long tail boats were roaming around from 7 in the morning till midnight and they constantly woke us up. It wasn’t a problem for us, but you need to climb some stairs to reach the property.

    Breakfast is included in the price, but there’s not a lot to choose from - toast, tea, coffee, juice, fruits, and a few types of pancakes and egg dishes that you can order from the counter. They have a nice garden where you can encounter monkeys and different kinds of lizards. It’s not that hot inside even without the AC (compared to other bungalows we stayed in). The bungalow is quite big with a huge terrace, there was enough space for all our belongings.

    Compared to other hotels, I found the staff to be rather cold and distant at the reception and breakfast (not the classic warmth you know from Thailand). At breakfast you can choose an egg dish or something similar, at the first breakfast no staff came to me in the dining area to ask if I wanted something, I just ate then a few fruits/toasts from the buffet, at the second breakfast they only arrived after about 10 minutes

    The resort was so impressive. Beautiful bungalows and wild monkeys, large lizards, squirrels and exotic birds in the resort itself. The rooms are equipped with everything you need except a refrigerator, the fan in front of the bed replaces the AC very good. The bathroom is new and modern, the terrace and the view are awesome. The resort is generally beautifully designed with lots of plants and flowers. Although the resort is on the outskirts, it is still close to many bars, restaurants and supermarkets

    No aircon, not responsive on inquiry, i have been chatting them on instagram and they were not responsive.

    I wish i knew that it doesnt have aircon, i requested for a specific room number but they said it’s booked but it wasnt. The room is very hot and needs to have aircon, really. For the price point, i think it should have. The view is nice though.

    For us it was good place to stay, but please keep in mind that there is no airco (only fan) and it’s on a quiet part of town (including some steps up the hill to get there, but there is a lift for luggage). If you are fine with that - like us - you will get a very good deal and a nice place to dtay in Railay.

    The resort is in a quiet and calm part of Railay, with an amazing view and beautiful garden. We liked this a lot. You will feel like in a zoo at times with all the animals and nice plants around. It was nice to come home too after being in the buzz of the popular beaches and areas. Staff is very friendly and breakfast has a lot of options and is very nice. The resort spends special care on ecology. Nice price for value offered.

    Nothing because I was prepared for the location from the beginning.

    Slipping in the middle of the nature is a favor hard to find in Krabi or Railay; although this hotel is offering that. The presence of birds, monkeys from time to time is fascinating. But there is a price for that: few steps every day to get in your room and no AC, as the houses are traditionally made of wood. If you balance the advantage of a beautiful sun rise, sunset and Phra Nang Beach with the fan in the room, it's OK. And surprisingly, no mosquitoes at all...

    The breakfast was lacking any savoury options, you could only choose egg and some sweet toasts. We skipped breakfast because restaurants downstairs had better options. If I wanted some cold water to drink I had to go to the fridge on the other side of the resort which was uncomfortable... No fridges in the rooms and also no AC 😬

    The apartment is away from all the noisy/party streets of Railay which was great for me. The view from the window was the best one I've ever seen. We even had a monkey family visit our terrace a few times. The garden here is amazing, you can see some colourful lizards and jackfruit trees 😍 We also really enjoyed our balcony and terrace, both of them had a place to sit/lay down.
