We booked to stay one night in an air-con room in May 2012 and had such an unpleasant experience we didn't actually end up staying the night. The room smelt very strongly of damp, the sheets had stains on them, the aircon barely worked and overall the room was in very bad, dirty condition. As we had already paid we... More

We stayed here in April 2012. This hotel is about a 5-8 min walk to anything in Railay (although at night in the dark it can be a bit scary to walk back to). It was a basic no frills hotel, air con, hot water, inexpensive. The pool left something to be desired and we didn't use it because it... More

We stayed a night in a fan room, turned out to be more dirty than at first glance. A power socket was ripped out of the wall with blank wires, I'm not sure if it was powered but it looked really dangerous. Safety box provided for a fee (coins) at the reception. Reception only open until 10pm, so no way... More

I was going to give the Diamond Cave an average rating bit I'm dropping it to poor since we had some things stolen from our room on the last day we were there. It is too bad since the place wasn't as bad as some of the other reviews have indicated. The good: room was a decent size (we were... More

Stayed here two years ago, then they had a small shop by the reception and the rooms were clean and no smelly. The location is just fine if you don't need to get to the beach in a wiff. But this time around, the rooms were smelling of pungency, reception area was shoddy and shop was closed and moved. Reception... More

We thought the place was okay at first for people on a budget, but we had cockroaches in the room. Later we found that the cleaning staff had taken a huge chunk of our money while cleaning the room. The management offered nothing constructive, so we really didn't have any recourse since we couldn't prove who took it. Avoid this... More

While we weren't surprised to see so many negative reviews listed for Diamond Cave Resort, our experience wasn't quite as bad as some others. We did not pre-book, and we ended up paying 1300B for a bungalow during high season, provided we booked for 3 nights and paid upon booking. We had a look at our room first, which was... More

We turned up on Railay looking for cheap accommodation and came upon Diamond Cave before looking too much further. The price (1200B per night) enticed us to stay, however- I would definitely not recommend staying here and we would have left immediately or after the first night had our payment been refundable. Make sure you check out your room before... More

Stayed here for one night in February when we arrived by boat. Paid 1000B for a room, the most we have ever had to pay for a double room in Thailand. We are used to staying in budget accommodation but this was the worst. There were cockroaches throughout the bathroom which clearly hadn't been cleaned. The sheets were all stained.... More
