    It is about 5 minutes from the beach and the location is a little remote. Not that they could do anything about that.

    A family-run business, the owners and stuff were lovely! Also, if you can't tell from the pictures, the bungalow is super new, clean, and modern, no shoddy construction you usually see in Thailand.

    Gorgeous little family owned and run resort. It has great ocean views and is nestled in lush, green tropical forest with a good location with a 3 min walk to the beach and a 5 min walk to the village. The property is perched high on the hill with a steep descent to the beach, so it helps to be fit. The owner goes out of her way to make sure her guests are comfortable.

    It is up a steep hill at the north end of the beach. 15 mins walk to 7/11. There is another mini market down the hill by the beach but not much choice and not great prices. It is in a very rich forest environment. Beautiful trees etc but a LOT of mosquitoes. We were happy to stay in and watch the Netflix! No swimming pool, on steep hill so many steps to rooms. We found the beach very dirty with a lot of plastic waste which was pretty depressing.

    Beautiful, large rooms with great aircon and TV that really works! Kids were so happy to watch ‘normal’ Netflix! The owner lady was so helpful and kind to us. She has a taxi service and you can just caller her to pick you up any time! She cooked us delicious food at 9pm and she is helpful.

    For non-bike using turist, this may not be the best spot.

    Very nice Thai host. You can rent a bike or get transported by host. Bungalows are surrounded by trees and nature, which brings nice atmosphere but also some strange noise :] Room was clean, spacious, with terace, big bathroom and enough space. AC was a bit weaker, so if you love to "fridge" your room, it wont happen. 10-15min walking distance from here you can find beach, restaurant or small village with nice coffee spots and bars.

    The WiFi signal is sometimes very week in the room, especially in the evenings, when more people in their room again. We had to use our mobile internet most of the time

    Comfortable rooms with fantastic location. It feels like in the the middle of the nature but still many restaurants in Haad Yao are around. Also services like laundry and motorbike rental are available. Also very nice staff. All in all great stay!

    I was slightly underwhelmed on arrival but don’t let this cloud your judgement. I did a 180 after a good nights sleep and fully appreciated the work that has gone into this wonderful little haven.

    A lovely little family run business with amazing open sided dining room and reception area where we enjoyed an exceptional breakfast every day during our stay. The staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and the pets were a cuddly bonus for me.

    There are no negative comments from our stay.

    As a group of friends, we loved everything about our stay here. We were treated so well every day, with such positive energy and warm hospitality whenever we would hang out at the restaurant area (which was every day because the food was so comforting). The rooms were spacious, clean and well equipped. Location is a short stroll to the beach as well. But our true favorite thing in our memories is the banana cake, homemade by the wonderful ladies at the resort. It was so delicious, we kept talking about it every day. Really recommend trying the baked goods at the restaurant!

    Not the property itself. Koh Phangan is much harder to get around than some of the other islands we’ve visited, it’s very steep for beginner bike riders and their taxi infrastructure is poor. If you want to explore the island, it can be expensive and/or inconvenient.

    Ran by a lovely family, very accommodating, helpful and kind. Very close to a well serviced and chilled out beach but still quiet and it makes you feel like you’re in the jungle. Really comfortable beds, the bathroom is ok but starting to show signs of age.

    It’s a quite humid area, and close don’t dry. But this is not a weak point of the location. It’s just normal for that area of the island.

    The most comfortable bed we ever slept in Thailand, nice location run by a family. They are very nice and can help with scooter rent, transport around the island, and very good food at their restaurant. The room had also great air conditioner.

    The only flaw: the wifi was not working properly.

    We had an amazing stay there. The room was very clean and big. The woman which owns this place is very kind and an amazing cooker. We ate several times at the restaurant and the food was always delicious, you could tell that it was traditional good thai food made with love. She even gave us cookies for Christmas and New Year's Eve. The restaurant has also European option to eat. The owners are always available for taking you with the taxi somewhere. The resort is very close to Haad Yao Beach (2/3 min walking). Another positive aspect is that the bed was very comfortable, there is not so much noise around this place and the windows have curtains to block the sunlight to come inside. In all our stay in Thailand, this was the place where we rested the most. Kop Kum Kha Sun Moon Star Resort 🙏🏻

    Nothing!

    We liked everything and it was the perfect fit for us. It would certainly suit those who are looking for a laid back, quiet atmosphere. Probably not suitable for those who want to stay in the middle of the action, however the location is not too secluded - with a scooter you can reach tons of restaurants, cafes, and lovely beaches. Community-like atmosphere, not a tacky resort, felt like home after 5minutes. The staff is very honest and warm. Motorbikes rental is cheap, not a single problem when we returned our scooter. Food is cheap so are fruit shakes - delicious. Very cozy room and super comfortable bed. Lush garden, very private balcony, and wonderful jungle sounds especially in the early morning. The beach, wide and beautiful, is at walking distance, just down the road. Honestly, I would recommend it to friends and family and I would definitely know where to stay when returning to Koh Phangan. In fact, we ended up extending our stay twice and are now missing it as we continued our trip to Koh samui.
