    We loved the little huts, decor was fabulous, great location, food delicious and the great service from all the staff. Nothing was too much for them.

    Just not our thing they have 4-6 huge dogs that they walk (understand dogs need to poop) but please do it away from guests that are sitting on their deck please please. We felt very uncomfortable on the first night we rang the taxi driver that picked us up from the pier because he gave us his number. When we got to the area to be collected he told us he got into trouble and all bookings had to go through The resort…..didn’t like the way it was handled and clients should be able to call any taxi they wish. I felt like there was something brewing between the reception staff the rest of the staff almost like a pecking order and you could feel it!

    Quiet Defiantly get a massage!! We had 4 in our room, they lady was sooooo professional best massage l have ever had.

    The pool could have been in a better state and a bit cleaner. From an eco hotel we would have expected to have a mainly vegetarian/vegan menue, however the menue is very carnivore and one has to ask for vegetarian options.

    The location, the setup and the architecture of the resort are very appealing. The bungalows are very nice as is the restaurant and the café. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We spent only one night at The Mud and enjoyed our stay very much.

    The water in our room was quite salty, so it was definitely necessary to buy bottled water in large quantities for making coffee and brushing our teeth. The tree house is close to the main road so it was quite loud due to traffic. There isn't really anything nearby, so you have to take a taxi or drive to the cafes, restaurants and shops.

    We stayed in the tree house with sea view. The property is well-kept and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was quite good. Nice view from our room. The live music a few times a week was nice. The pool are was very nice with a bar, loungers and palm trees.

    In low tide it‘s quite difficult to reach deeper water to swim (take after shows with you). A pier to the deep water would be perfect.

    Beautiful, charming Eco Ressort at a nice location. Real good restaurant and nice pool bar.

    this was hands down the best stay in Koh Samui, the small villas are amazing! they have everything u need, the ac works perfect, its clean and modern yet it has that exotic vibe, the place is super chilled down, we were able to bring in our own drinks and snacks, breakfast was decent, fresh and tasty (selection smaller but enough for everyone), the views from the huts the sunset my oh my, and super amazing staff at reception and in the restaurant, thank u!

    A sanctuary of wonder and playfulness

    The only thing I would say. Were we were- the home on stilts (which was the best room in the house I would say) it was a little noisy as it was above a farm. So could hear the chickens etc. To improve: water- To improve the hotel would be to offer more drinking water. each day, we were given x2 small bottles of water in our room but that was not enough for the day or night, so had to buy extra. It would be good to offer guests drinking water on tap, or bigger bottles The pool- slightly disappointed by the pool area- there were only 4 sun lounger cushions available for the whole site., meaning unless you had use of the 4 sun loungers, the others were unusable, I asked at the bar area for more cushions and was told there were not anymore available. This is a beautiful site, be sure to keep it maintained.

    The mud hotel was the first place we arrived to in Koh Samui after a 13 hour journey from Bangkok. It was as they say a sight for sore eyes. The love, care and detailing of this hotel is amazing. There is an organic feel where it has used natural materials but with a flare of inspiration and playfulness The rooms have everything you need from, dressing gowns, to umbrellas and dressing gowns, and even a pen and paper.. The staff were beautiful and attentive and the breakfasts accommodate pallets of all kinds whilst also celebrating Thai cuisine. . The musicians were also out of this world good

    Nothing about the hotel - it was really great. Wider things the hotel can’t change - the sea goes out a long way and is not for swimming (very shallow when it does come in). The beach either side of hotel has a lot of litter on it. On a busy road which is sometimes noticeable when in restaurant.

    Beautiful accommodation (we had a family villa which was over two floors and was fantastic). Restaurant is lovely with excellent food. All staff really friendly and helpful

    As others have said, breakfast is a little disappointing for the price per night, particularly in comparison to other hotels we stayed at in Koh Samui. Drink menu very overpriced, likely due to the more isolated location. Not all sunset view rooms can see the sunset, so misleading.

    Friendly staff and attractive looking resort

    The "Eco" in Eco Hotel feels very authentic and all the staff are very welcoming, professional and supported all our needs immediately. The whole place feels like a Family and we spent a wonderful time here with our baby girl. The breakfast Buffet and the Restaurant with its live music was very unique. You can taste the freshness and quality in every bite and sip while enjoying the wonderful visual design and music of this place.

    The tap water, so if you are fussy about water taste buy big bottles from 7Elevan.

    The property itself has so many things to do around. We found the coffee shop towards the end of our stay. I would highly recommend to chill there and try your hands on painting.

    The bathroom for each hut is not completely indoors (Instead of windows it's open air) so we had bugs in the bathroom. It wasn't too big of a deal, but we'd have to open and close the bathroom door quickly so bugs wouldn't come in our bedroom. We used the mosquito net around our bed at night.

    The resort is very beautiful with a great view. Staff go above and beyond for you.
