Ma Doo Bua Phuket

This property seems to have suffered from over-tourism from their popular insta-worthy cafe. As such the staff are rude and treat those that are staying at the hotel as second class citizens. We were pressed to pay food bills in the middle of eating the dish, the breakfast is not their usual menu but very old bread and over-fried leftovers from the night before and bad coffee, the staff behave as if you are an inconvenience taking up precious table space for their bus loads of tourists and they clear away the plates whilst you are still eating the food on them. One key was lost and despite the 500 baht lost key deposit and being told by staff it costs 500 baht to replace we are then later told we must pay 2500 baht! The staff were really disappointing and perhaps have become that way due to experiencing numerous and possibly rude visitors on a daily basis. My friends visited for a meal yesterday and faced the same service issues. We stayed five days and regret it due to the staff who really do not care. The rooms are a good size and clean with balcony, the issues are all to do with the staff. The pool is nice too but some building work happening, no bar or towel service but a couple of staff taking photos of people on the boat in the lily pond. I used to live in Phuket so I know the cafe well. If I realized it had changed so much, I would have got room only so that we were treated like a proper customer at the restaurant. I would like to forget it now and won’t go there again.

This place is super awesome 👌🏽. I've never felt like i under paid for a place such as this.

We extended our stay for 2 more nights in a pool view villa. It was very comfortable. The stuff very friendly. We could check in after breakfast at 9:30 because the villa was already prepared. Thank you for early check in. The breakfast was ok, but like before some dishes were cold. The instructions for the instagram picture ladies were not comfortable. The whole day you hear „one two three …“ But it is a instagram hotspot and we knew it before. The hotel, the garden and the lake with the big lilians are very nice and the atmosphere at breakfast is very nice, when you don’t have a loud Chinese group around you. At 9am it’s open for instagram girls and then it’s no more quiet. It’s a pity. Restaurants are near. We recommend the Hot pot and BBW just cross the Main Street. If you want a very good manicure or pedicure, it’s a professional shop also just cross the mainstreet. We enjoyed our stay very much 4 days long. Thank you the team!!! Josef & Pim
