Homestays in Surat Thani Province, Thailand

I arrived 2 hours earlier and was checked in immediately, for which I thank you very much. The room has panoramic windows, light and beautiful. However: Of the obvious disadvantages - the location is far from any infrastructure and VERY dirty. There was someone else's black hair on the bed linen, a lot of it. The linen did not leave a feeling of freshness, as if it had not been changed since the last guest. The reception staff does not speak English.

15 minutes walk from Chaweng Beach, which was convenient enough. There was a hiccup during check in as the hotel didn't recognise my booking through trip.com, but this was quickly resolved by trip.com customer service. The fan room was spacious and even had a balcony for the already decent price. No pub noise from the area. I highly recommend Pott Guesthouse.

Very close to the railway station. The location is great if you aren’t going to the islands and just wanna take a train somewhere else. Affordable and we have nothing to complain about here.

This hotel is in Ban Ta Kun. If you do not have a car it is inaccessible. Has a nice pool and good view. No food and convenient stalls near the hotel. Need to walk 15 mins to get food. Only can order tuk tuk to get to Khao Sok National Park or the Pier.

”We had an amazing stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was clean, comfortable, and all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. Although our stay was enjoyable overall, we were disappointed with the food quality at the hotel restaurant. While the presentation was nice, the taste of the dishes left much to be desired.

I stopped to this little hotel on my way from Bangkok , waiting for the ferry the morning after to Panghan , arrived in the night , it is more like a mothel with a few cottages all around the properties. Simple room with all the amenities and very convenient prices .. paid 700 bath for one night and i could also park my car by side to the cottage. indeed the worth of value and will use next time i need it .

Wow what a place, made all the more special by 'Oh' who runs the bar and cooks in the kitchen. Oh practically run this place and made our stay so special and personal. The rooms were gorgeous little huts with hammocks on the veranda and a pool situated opposite. There were eight of us travelling, four couples travelling to celebrate a special 50th Birthday. Rooms were cute, with air con and had a fridge and daily water and coffee delivery. The bar and food was amazing and the sunset was fantastic I highly recommend staying here. Oh arranged our bike hire, taxi to the port and ferry to KohTao when we were leaving nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend and definitely be staying again.

It's a nice hotel but unfortunately it's extraordinarily loud even if you stay in a room opposite the bar street. If you like to party and don't mind the noise it can work, but if you need quiet then this is a place to avoid.

Such a lovely place to stay - my fav accommodation in Thailand! A stunning balcony view of the jungle, air conditioning, comfy bed and everything was perfectly clean and nice. There’s a koi pond and a little waterfall, lots of cats and flowers.. The residence is about 6 min walk from the beach, and near so many cute cafes and restaurants. The area is quiet but has a laidback beachy atmosphere, plenty of massage houses and restaurants/bars but the nights are quiet and there aren’t too many people around. Loved staying here and would definitely come back

It is a very user-friendly place. The hotel breakfast is delicious and fully reflects the harmony between man and nature. The naughty monkeys are lovable. The kind-hearted boss and staff are dedicated to their responsibilities. Thank you very much for the wonderful time this hotel brought to the journey.

- Location is great and in a vivid area. - easy access to the beach (very beautiful) - The staff was very very very kind and very helpful. -You can rent a motorbike at the hotel (we knew too late), but they helped us with the one we rented and offered gasoline. - The wifi was good, but the airconditioning was amazing (very important in weather like this). - almost next to a seven eleven so if you need anything late at night just walk out of the door In short: go here for a nice stay!!

I recently had the privilege of staying at the Bhavana Bodhigun Vocational College (BBVC) in Koh Samui, and it was truly an inspiring experience. Having a corporate background, I’ve stayed in many different places, but BBVC is so much more than just a place to rest—it’s a purpose-driven movement. This vocational college doubles as a hostel, with all proceeds reinvested to provide free education, meals, & accommodation to underprivileged Thai youth. Their mission to cultivate the next generation of Thai-talent really resonated with me, and it was deeply rewarding to know that my stay directly supported such a meaningful initiative. The atmosphere at BBVC is serene, deeply rooted in Buddhist principles. The morning and evening meditation sessions create a grounding energy, and the staff—students in training—are as warm as they are professional. The rooms are simple but comfortable, offering a homestead or farmstay vibe. I also took part in the evening meditation sessions, which helped center myself and embrace mindfulness. Staying at BBVC isn’t just about enjoying Koh Samui—it’s about having a positive impact while stepping away from the busier parts of the island. If you’re looking for a unique experience that blends relaxation with purpose, I highly recommend it to anyone who values meaningful travel! (Quick tip: I got lost in the jungle, so make sure to enter the full name of the school on Google Maps—it will take you to the correct location, not the one up the mountain along a dirt track.) :)

No hotel claims. Excellent everything. Staff responsive, rooms in good condition, clean, cleaning daily except Sunday, location is wonderful. At the price of quality - probably one of the best gesta in the district. Beach towels can be taken on the recipe. There are no tea in the rooms, but on the 2nd floor there is always a boiler and tea/coffee. Out to the sea through the Aloha resort. There are no lying.

A good location to spend a night on the way between Chaweng and Lamai, close to Coral Cove. You'll need a motorbike or a car to get around though. The staff allowed me to do an early check-in early and a late check-out. The view from the room is great. The biggest downside of the stay was the water pressure in the shower, which is super low. Also, there was some sand in the bed, and the blanket didn't have any cover.

SCAMMERS ALERT!!! First the lack of hospitality. We booked last minute we were supposed to go to Koh Tao island but because of bad weather we were unable to go there. Whe check in procedure was as with every hotel, however we started to feel immediately like criminals when they demanded 3000 baht deposit by credit card because we wanted to check out early to go to the ferry for Koh Tao. I asked why we have to pay so much money which is double the price for one nights stay and they said the the have a flat TV and we might steal or damage it. (The TV never worked by the way it looks that they had unpayed bill to the satelite service. The remote had dead batteries. the whole setup was disconected from electricity. ) Also they mentioned that the money will show in my bank 30 days after (which is strange refunds are done instantly or at max 4 work days in 2023). The botom line its now 2 months and still trying to get my money back. They are using my money probably for pay their bills and their policy is to refund when its convenient for them. Save yourself of being scammed and get another hotel.

It was comfortable and resonance close to the beach.

The biggest disappointment on Koh Samui. Unfortunately, all the negative reviews on Google Maps turned out to be a reality for us. We stopped by paying for a Villa for a month for 80 thousand baht, plus the same amount of deposit. Photos and reality are two different things. The first day we spent cleaning the room, removing dust and dead insects to put our stuff into shelves. The next day there was a terrible smell of sewage, and we could not use some rooms. We found a non-working shower and plumbing in terrible condition, water was flowing down the walls and plaster was falling. The room was completely unusable and we constantly had to call the staff to fix something. Then cockroaches appeared in the room! The staff did not react to this in any way. We wrote messages that were ignored. We asked for a refund to move out, as the housing is not worth it, but we were not given a clear answer. The last straw was the invasion of insects, we called for help from the staff, we had huge grasshoppers, beetles, flying creatures, we treated everything with spray — they rained down on us from the ceiling, I killed 40 pieces and then stopped counting, there were hundreds of them. All the doors were closed, but obviously in their housing where there is no constant care, there are cracks somewhere. They were still coming, we ran out of treatment, and we just had to run away without belongings in the middle of the night and look for a place to sleep, it was scary and disgusting to be there, because the staff just finished their working day and ignored all our requests to help. They have a ”wonderful” boss, Linda, who gives all orders and is apparently a con artist, collecting money and not maintaining her housing in an adequate condition, spitting on the guests. Since all our requests to return at least some of the money were ignored every day, and the problems were growing, we had to contact the police. When we returned to the hotel, we were greeted kind of aggressively after the police call, and were told that you can leave today or tomorrow. Again, no clear answer. We asked to clean and treat the room from insects so that we could go inside. When they made the decision, they immediately asked us to move out without warning in advance, we were shocked that they were kicking us out just in a matter of minutes, everything happened in a rough form and at a very late time, we didn't have time to find new housing and we found ourselves with suitcases on the street in the mountains at 22 o'clock, not knowing where to go, while we were packing our bags, we were constantly called and kicked out of the room. But the staff was no longer there and no one would have cleaned the room, we were simply put out on the street. I have never met such disrespect. For 4 terrible nights in this mess, 20,000 baht was withheld from us. This is really a disgusting attitude, we are very disappointed with both the place and the staff. I am sure that all the positive reviews, with beau

We arrived in Surat Thani quite late after a long day travelling from Malaysia. We hadn't booked anywhere and found Little PP on a booking site. We grabbed a tuc tuc from the mini bus station which took about 5 minutes to get here. We we're welcomed by the owner who was super friendly. He helped us arrange our ferry to Koh Tao, carried our bags to the bedroom and even bought our beers upstairs to us. The rooms are amazingly clean with large comfy bed and 4 extra comfy pillows. Breakfast was included which was served in their beautiful little coffee shop on the ground floor. 100% excellent experience. If you're in need if an overnight transit stop I would highly recommend this place.

We had the most wonderfull stay at Siri Guesthouse. The rooms are spacious, clean and have stylish zen atmosphere. The owner speaks English very well, which is a big asset in this typical Thai- native town. The restaurant serves authentic Thai food. So be warned if you order spicy😄: I considered myself spicy resistant but had to admit that I am still a chili sissy according to genuine Thai standards.😉 Taste is exquisit. Special thanks for helping us with the unexpected hospital visit. Things would have been much more complicated without the great translation and help. So if you are passing by Surat Thani, take the time to spend a few nights at Siri Guesthouse and discover this true Thai town.

the room is cleaned,the garbage can't be taken out,everything else is ok

When checking in, it was not explained that the room was not cleaned every day by itself. You have to leave your room key in a basket at the reception if you want it. Also as usual in Thailand you get at least water bottles, included in the price in the room. It doesn't exist here. Only a water dispenser, not chilled with tiny glasses because otherwise it would be empty in the restaurant. Bottled water is only available for purchase. Bungalows are tiny and very gloomy due to the dark walls. Everywhere nails in the wall but no pictures. Black mold is also spreading on the wardrobe, if you can call it that. Cloth shelf (see pictures) far too little space for 3 people. You only get a towel that you have to use for your body and face plus hands. Towel for the beach (you can't swim at all) you don't get one without asking. Everything wouldn't be so dramatic if you at least felt comfortable. The boss hardly gets a hello out. Your employees are great but sometimes very stressed because there is only one person for each area. Also reception and restaurant. I can then understand very well. When several people arrived and were already annoyed, she helped a little for the first time. In Thailand, friendliness is very important, but the boss doesn't practice it here. Oh yes, it takes 13 minutes by moped to get to Thong Sala. There is something going on there and there is a super food market. The hotel itself is not really what. Couple of small restaurants. So if you go there and want to experience something or swim, you have to rent a moped. Will go back to my old resort next time.

Really good value for money you get what you pay for good location if you just want to relax have meal

Kind on the pocket...Sairee Sairee Guest House is clean, basic, affordable accommodation, simply decorated in a contemporary industrial style. The room is adequately appointed with everything you need including both a/c and ceiling fan, television, safe, ensuite bathroom with shower gel and shampoo; and there's a little verandah on which to chill. It's not luxury, but it's perfect.....comfortable and spacious and excellent value. We stayed for over a week and we were very happy there, slept well and would definitely stay there again. The location is perfect, close to the beach, popular eating spots, bars, pharmacy, 7-Eleven, grocery stores, clothing boutiques, tattoo shops, mo-ped hire etc. There is an onsite restaurant. It's not the cheapest in town but not very expensive. We ate there on our last night and we were super impressed with the food. They also do a good cup of tea, especially when paired with their chocolate brownie....a winner after hiking the steep hills of the island. The owners were just lovely and the staff all very friendly and helpful. Definitely a winner!!!

Very good
