The noise from the beach parties- take ear plugs!

Quirky accommodation- felt like we were in a tree house. Sea view and great location to explore the island.

A great location out of the party life. A wonderfull building and very friendly staff. The garden / restaurant gas a personal touch with a lot of pictures. There is a pool table and hammocks everywhere in the garden! I definitely advise you to stay at this place!

Party goes until 2am on the nearby beach hotels and vicinity.

It was a unique and felt like a treehouse/boat.

Great ocean sun set view and staff were amazing.

As expected and warned, it was a bit noisy. Again, as expected due to the nature of phi phi, the sewage smell wasn’t pleasant. The rooms could also do with better lighting and better toiletries.

Staff were amazing, really great reception from Mel and couldn’t do enough for you. Property was really unique and on the front of phi phi beach.

Doors/windows lock need to be replaced. Room size is bit small.

Nice location; loved the antic design of house like a boat. Food at the restaurant was very good. Facilities in the loan (merged with the beach) was awesome! Loved the small corridor with table chair.

Great location and overall vibe. Probably not for everyone. It is old and dated and a bit dark. But it was full of charm that I enjoyed. Felt like staying in a tree house. The grounds were nice, comfortable and relaxing and the staff couldn't have been nicer.

The smell was overwhelming most of the time. The staff were so used to it they didn’t seem to think there was a problem, I think it was just that end of the island unfortunately and I don’t think there was much they could do about it, we had to keep the drains covered in the bathroom to reduce the smell as much as possible

The staff were lovely and the vibe of the main area was perfect, sunsets are probably the best in Phi Phi.

Still needs some work and could've been a little cleaner but we were happy with it.

I liked the quirky style of the building and the seating area next to the sea, although the wonky floors etc might not be for everyone. Staff were really friendly.

It was much noisier at night than we expected. Any sound outside sounded like it was nearly in your room, or right outside the door since there was no insulation to buffer the sound. Earplugs are a must for sleeping. The stairs to the rooms are quite steep, so make sure you have good knees. We managed fine, but if you have mobility issues, this is NOT the place for you. When the tide is out, the smell is not great, and you really can't swim in the sea near the hotel, so the lack of a pool was a bit of a bummer, but not a huge issue, as we could simply go to the beach elsewhere.

It was a funky treehouse, so very unique. The room was as described. The view during the day when the tide is in is lovely. The food was also fair at the restaurant. The staff were nice. It is a rustic location, and they don't pretend otherwise, so just know that going in, and read the reviews and the descriptions so you aren't surprised.

The noise from the beach was no issue. The only issue which is utterly out of the hotels control was a bonkers and erratic tattooist rightoutside our window. He loved anglegrinding until early hours of the morning, swinging knives around generally making a lot of noise all night.

The staff were great and the rooms were great. Before our visit the correspondence with the owner was great and they were very honest about possible noise and cats... kittens were adorable.

It’s basically a tree house so floors are a little uneven and there’s gaps in the walls so you can hear everything outside and people in the other rooms.

I loved how friendly the staff were, and how clean the room was, very good value for money as it has a fridge, freezer, air con, kettle, towels etc. very well maintained. The view is amazing! Close to the viewpoint walk and far enough away from the middle of the night life to be a bit quieter.

Quirky. Lots of communal chill out areas.

Loved absolutely everything.

Loved everything about the Sunflower Boathouse. Our room was as it is in the pictures on site. The staff on-site are wonderful especially Fai, he took care of us, arranged our day time activities and more. A must try is the food here, the noodles, rice and fish cakes were our favourites and the Tom Yum soup was just heavenly (we had it at every meal). The room has all basic amenities which included a fridge and TV (which we never used as the hammocks and bean bags overlooking the sea is just the thing you want to view). Look around the restaurant area and you will see half longtail boats, the furniture in there has a history which you must learn about. Fai was kind enough to tell us the story and it's a story you should know. The sunset is just gorgeous and should not be missed. We had absolutely zero complaints and the stay was well worth it. Our next trip to Phi Phi, we will be definitely staying at the Sunflower Boathouse. Bear in mind this is not a fancy hotel but rather a place where you feel alive, it is an experience of love, life and laughter. Mel was very responsive to any queries we had before and during our stay. She is such a wonderful host. Thank you Mel.

Great beachfront location and much more intimate feel than the soul-less tourist tower blocks elsewhere along the beach. Good chill out bar area with tree cover, beanbags, hammocks, board games and a pool table. Very kind and friendly staff.

The location was great at the end of the beach just before the incline for the view points It looks a little bit work in progress this is normal for phi phi But they make you feel very welcome and it is very chilled also the prices are very good

We stay at the sunflower boathouse over the Christmas period ,Mel and her staff made us feel very welcome they went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed.

Whilst it’s by the sea which is lovely the areas around the accommodation especially to the side and back have a lot of rubbish, the same with the beach where the bars are located (you have to paddle through rubbish to get to the sea) I do get this is out of the staffs hands but if all Thai people and travellers cleaned up the rubbish it would make the town a nicer place. Luckily the far beach is a lot cleaner

It was near all the bars and town. It’s a traditional Thai experience. Nice simple rooms with hot water. Help transporting the bags to and from the ferry. The staff were really helpful and went above and beyond. Lovely view. The noise wasn’t too loud. Nice little bar and restaurant

The owner warned already for the noise from the beachparties. Earplugs might be nessecary for the light sleepers.

Very nice view over the sea. Comfortable bed and everything available nearby.

Nothing, except understand that the hotel is not central. Room was not cleaned during our stay. The surrounding area, is a little scruffy.

Budget friendly hotel, quirky and well priced. Very friendly staff. Great communications. Hotel is, quiet and great for sunsets
