Bamboo @ Koh Chang

The calving was disappointing. Apart from its location in the very center of the white sand, there is nothing to boast about. 5-6 years ago everything looked much better. And the point is not even that repairs are needed. It feels like the owners don’t even have the desire to do better. The sun loungers by the pool are dirty, it’s scary to even sit on them. There are no mattresses for sun loungers, no umbrellas. The stairs to the sea are also in poor condition. Cleaning is only done if you ask, and then minimal. During the week the bed sheets were not changed even once. I had to ask every time for coffee and shampoo to be brought. Breakfast a la carte, no choice. Either American or pancake. There wasn’t even fruit included with either the first or the second. In general, I will not go to this hotel again and do not recommend it.

This is a chic hotel in its own way, I went around the island in search of something better, but came back here again, it’s very comfortable here, like home.

The location of the hotel in general is not bad, but it is better to take hotels further towards the mountain, they have their own beach at high tide, there are steps right there and the sea beats on them... in general this did not interfere. Sunbathe on the sun loungers by the pool, or pull them onto the sand when the tide is low. The building is closed from the road by another building so no noise can be heard. What I didn’t like and the hotel needs to change, it’s honestly a shame. 1. Wi-Fi, which kind of catches, then the Internet just doesn’t work, it’s either no or it’s constantly lost, in the rooms (in the main building opposite), there was a signal, but it didn’t work, on the balcony it looked like it was catching something , not much better. Somehow I worked at their cafe, well, the signal was good, but the Internet almost didn’t work either, connections were constantly being lost. Honestly, this is a shame for the hotel, get normal internet. There was a screwed-up Wi-Fi at the hotel cafe, we took the password, we thought it would be better, but no, it’s about the same... 2. the cost in the cafe, the price tags are simply not adequate (25-30% more expensive), the cafes next door to the more “chic” hotels were no different from the cafes along the road, and we ended up having dinner there often. 3. further incorrect information on Trip says that there is a buffet, that’s why I chose it, but in fact “breakfast is on the menu, with a very limited choice of 5-6 items”, the best thing was an American breakfast of one type, despite the fact that the hotel next door had the same breakfast, 5 types of American. 4. Trip writes that there are safes, in fact there are no safes, or they may be in some rooms, but why write there are if there may not be any? We checked in quickly. They didn’t take a deposit (although at the reception it was written that they do take it). At first they didn’t give us coupons for breakfast, when we asked how to have breakfast they said you had a reservation without breakfast included, we were indignant, the girl checked, saw what happened with breakfast, and gave us coupons. There were 6 days, the rooms are not cleaned unless you ask (towels are changed if they need to be replaced), in general this did not bother us, since we did not litter. Water and toilet paper (well done, at Kokuda they rested in the toilet almost at 0 and then they just added it) were left at the door every day. There was a kettle, but tea/coffee was only available on the day of check-in, new ones were not added. The location of the hotel relative to interesting places is not bad, at the exit there is a kiosk for shakes, on the beach on the right there was a cafe with cocktails all for 100 baht (not bad at all). Along the street there are cafes and massage parlors with normal prices. I rented bikes to the right after 200-300 meters (they didn’t want to haggle on the price against the hotel), it was possible at the hotel, the price was the same as everyone else’s. With Wi-Fi, of course, there was a terrible setup, to come on vacation to run around either the hotel or the cafe in search of normal Wi-Fi... as a result, the hotel next door through the wall (a little further from the bamubu) was with open access, it just flew, no brakes 100 Mbit interruptions!!! Lucky were those who lived with this hotel, it clearly broke through the wall, but it didn’t break through to our room anymore.

Great location on White Sand Beach. First line, 10 steps to the sea. Quiet, calm, cozy. Good breakfast. Nearby are shops and a small market. In the evening there is a fire show on the shore. Recommended for lovers of a relaxing holiday
