    Amazing local hosts at a clean bungalow in a beautiful remote island

    The Wi-fi is a little un-reliable. It worked well for my remote work but my boyfriend is a video editor and works with larger files so we would go to one of the resorts sometimes for him to upload. besides that our stay was perfect!

    The host & her daughter were so funny and exceptionally welcoming! They made sure everything was perfect for our stay and were super helpful even with the language barrier. They were able to provide us 2 scooter rentals (koh yao yai was the only place in Thailand that I drove my own scooter it was very calm and remote). They brought us water and home made breakfast (the fried dough was amazing!) They were able to provide us a laundry service and our clothes came back very clean. I highly recommend staying at Relaxing House Koh Yao Yai and booking a Hong Island Boat Tour through the owner, it was our favorite boat tour that we did on our two months traveling throughout Thailand. The beaches were beautiful. It's a little away from the main tourist area which we found nice, a short 15 minute scooter ride if we wanted to get over to the resorts/ shopping. The bungalow was clean and we loved the owner's kitty's coconut would have my morning coffee with me while I worked remotely.

    This family is very helpful and friendly ❤️ they organised for us free pick up from the pier and also booked the best possible transfer to our next destination. They were bringing to us delicious breakfast every Morning. I hope to come back there one day to spend time in this beautiful place once again.

    None, it was perfect

    Amazing surroundings, very calmed space, convenient location (in the middle of the island, equal distance to both extremes). Only 15min ride to Lo Paret Beach, one of the best in the island. Hosts are incredibly sweet and welcoming, always willing to help and brought a different breakfast every day. I spent my birthday here and they surprised me with cake and sang to me :) we felt right at home.

    It was honestly amazing! We arrived they was so welcoming and sweet, it was a little family business and the young woman on the front didn’t know much English but was really attentive and sweet. Brought us breakfast every morning and water. The room was clean and fresh! It was really good value for money. The best we have had so far on our trip! Didn’t wanna leave. Thank you

    Free transfer means that once you are there, you have no choice than to rent their scooter at a slightly higher price than normal but the difference is very small. No free transfer when leaving the property.

    Nice room in the middle of the island. A simple breakfast was included not before 9 am, but they served it earlier on my last morning that I could eat before I went on the ferry. Nice! Free transfer to the accommodation.

    Can’t recommend this place enough! So homely and clean and accessible to all the hotspots on the island. The owner was so lovely and brought us fresh fruit, breakfast and water every morning! And also sorted us a bike rental straight away. 10/10 from us! One of our favourite places we stayed in the whole of Thailand!

    The water out of taps was very brown. I don’t know what the pump/cistern system is, but I would not brush my teeth with it.

    A simple setup of three, modern type bungalows. I was in, and would prefer the end one as it not behind the owners house/reception area. Felt a little more private and a slight view. The location is perfectly in center of island, so good access to either end. It does sit off the road so you get a little motorbike traffic entertainment, everything quiets early. Room had teapot, fridge, sitting area on terrace. Typical Thai bed, but I slept good. everything seems newer. While it was not a ‘breakfast included’ place, the owner brought a daily item to eat and a bottle of water , very nice. She also rents motorbikes. There are some very friendly cats - kind of looked forward to their begging.

    Nothing - this was the perfect stay and we will definitely come back.

    Set in beautiful grounds, right in the centre of Koh Yao Yai so easy to explore all areas with a moped (which you can rent from here). Beautifully quiet, surrounded by nature and exceptionally clean and well furnished rooms, including fridge and kettle. Nice warm shower, effective air conditioning and a lovely balcony to the front and back of the room. Lady running it is a total sweetheart and always smiling and happy to help with anything you need. Even brought us a plate of fresh fruit and a breakfast pastry each morning. Resident cats are also super friendly (especially the white one, who I have named ‘Coconut’. Closest restaurant is about 3 mins drive on the moped so you do need means of transport to get around (same for anywhere on this island).

    We couldn't ask for more! Noi is super nice and genuine, always made sure that everything was perfect. The bungalow was really cosy and spacious with a small terrace on the back and pleasant patio on the front. Above all it was sorrounded by a lush and beautiful garden. Location was also perfect: right in the middle of Ko Yao Yai so very comfortable to visit the whole island. Last but not least we were provided an unexpected delicious breakfast with local fruit a small local deserts. Do not hesitate to book here!
