A rather late review having stayed in November 2012. We loved the individual nature of this place; the quietness, the quality of the rooms/furnishings and the lovely staff and food. Nothing was too much trouble. My favourite thing became the breakfast every morning overlooking the klong - the fresh coffee was fabulous. Snorkelling to the nearby beaches was also fun... More

I'm sitting on the balcony of room 6 as I write this, having spent 3 nights at Bann Makok. It's a great little place, nestled on the bank of a mangrove estuary. You arrive directly from the speedboat and are welcomed with a cool drink. The guesthouse is made up of eight rooms around a communal restaurant/bar area on the... More

Sitting outside on a warm April night enjoying a desert of battered fried banana after another perfectly delicious meal. Fireflies sparkling in the mangroves. This place is magical. Eco conscious and so well suited to its superb location. By far the best choice on the island. The staff are all friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel... More

On arrival with our speedboat transfer from Koh Chang, I will say the entrance and setting is breathtaking and very unique. We booked a package for 3 nights so it included all meals, an island trip on land and a snorkelling trip too. We really enjoyed the package but was a little disappointed that nothing was explained to us on... More

Tucked into the mangrove forest on a canal, Bann Makok is an amazing place to stay if you value excellent food (among the best we had in Thailand), proximity to nature, and a quiet, low-key atmosphere. If you want beach cabanas, a lively hotel bar scene with music, or high-end accommodations, this is not the place for you, and there... More

I'm an intensive traveler both for business and for pleasure and I think this place is the best I have ever stayed at. Not the most luxurious but definitely the most harmonious. Harmonious because it is decorated with lots of taste, it's nestled in beautiful nature (half in the mangrove and half over the river) and the staff has a... More

I really wanted to give Bann Makok five stars. The owner, Olive, was so helpful with my travel plans and reservation, and I fell in love with the decor the moment I arrived. I couldn't stop taking photos of the design details that give Bann Makok an authenticity and charm that make it unique and memorable. The food and cocktails... More

Bann Makok was by far the most special place we stayed during our trip to Koh Chang, Koh Kood and Bangkok. We were excited to be dropped off first from the speedboat from Koh Chang at this little place in the mangroves. The 8 or so rooms are all unique and special - not 5+ luxury by any means and... More
