"Breakfast not enough and foods do not have explanation so u cannot decide what they are"

"The service was excellent, and the accommodation was spotless. The natural scenery was breathtaking, offering fantastic photo opportunities. They also have a lovely swimming pool, and the food was delicious! 🤍"

"This is a good low budget option to experience island life, but not that low budget £60 per night ( January 2026) We are very familiar with island life in Thailand and appreciate that some things just don’t work as well. The location of Malibu Samed Resort is gorgeous, it’s more or less situated on the beach of the small quaint Wong Duean Bay. There are several beach restaurants available, the vibe is chilled, without the drinking or ******** culture. It’s lovely. Our welcome was warm, the staff were great and happy to help with our luggage. Our room is small 16 m² with 2 single beds, some hanging and storage space. It has a rustic feel to it. There is a fridge which is always welcome, tea and coffee making facilities, which we always appreciate, as well as a safety deposit box & flat screen TV. The bed and pillow are comfortable but not sumptuous. Towels are provided and I would say are of typical island quality. However the shower was an issue, obviously water is limited on the island and taking a hot shower was challenging but actually having a good supply of water either in the evening or morning was very hit and miss. Missed more often, it gets frustrating when you can’t have an adequate shower, that’s one of the reasons we move about frequently. Breakfast is of limited quality but there are a variety of options including cereal, hot food both western & Thai. Toast cereal and tea & coffee. The pool area was hardly used during our stay so a nice quiet retreat from the beach was available."

"Close to the beach, with the Sanctuary of Truth just 400 meters away as the crow flies. You can even see the temple from the poolside."

"Small island, max. 2 nights booking. Beautiful views nearby. The hotel itself offers good service but there weren't many people staying there. You can eat at the hotel, but at other restaurants, there are people trying to attract customers, whereas at the hotel, there's no one. The food prices are also higher than at other restaurants. Overall, it was a pleasant stay."

"This hotel is paradise! We booked a seaside bungalow and were assigned to B8 (perfect!), which is the second bungalow to the right of the reception (1 bungalow - 2 entrances). We stayed during the weekdays, so there weren't many guests, but by Saturday, it started to get busier. We were brought to the hotel by speedboat, arriving at the Malibu Hotel next door to the left. Staff immediately came to help us with our luggage. The restaurant prices are reasonable, starting at around 120 baht per dish. Breakfasts are delicious. The hotel grounds are very green, making for beautiful photos. There are swings hanging from the palm trees, so bring your best outfits for pictures! At night, the frogs are quite loud (but you only hear them in the bungalows further back; in the front-row bungalows, you just hear the sound of the sea). Be prepared for all sorts of critters, as it's an island after all! In the evenings, the restaurant has live music, playing both Russian hits and local tunes. The room was clean and serviced regularly; there's even a coffee machine! There's a small grocery store on the property with a limited selection, but you can buy drinks, instant noodles, and snacks for tea. There's also another small shop within the Malibu complex. We even brought some food from Pattaya ourselves, having read that there weren't many shops nearby. We recommend taking a speedboat directly to the hotel from Pattaya. Some people go to the main pier, but it's better to specify that you're going to Cabana; it will be 200 baht more expensive, but you'll spend the same amount on a taxi from the pier to the hotel anyway. If we had any questions, the administration quickly resolved them. That's why we were very satisfied with our stay. For our departure, a speedboat also came to Malibu to pick us up; the staff escorted us and helped carry our luggage to the pier."

"Koh Samed is a beautiful island and the Villa is quite good however you should ensure that your room is far away from where they serve breakfast as they start prep around 6am and alough they attempt to be quiet it will still wake you up."

"I liked the hotel! Would definitely come back again. It was calm and quiet, and the beach was really good. For the island, the service was excellent."

"Despite paying a considerable amount, I was assigned a windowless room. My attempts via Ctrip to resolve this with the hotel were unsuccessful, partly because Ctrip's own room descriptions were unclear. Ctrip did, however, refund me 140 for the price difference. The shower pressure was extremely low, and the bathroom mirror was badly cracked, almost to the point of shattering. When I reported the issues, a staff member just took a brief look and walked away without offering any solution. On the positive side, the hotel is close to the sea and quiet, offering opportunities for free snorkeling. Having breakfast with a stunning sea view was also very enjoyable."
