We booked this hotel for the last 2 nights of our four week Thailand trek, as we were flying home from samui. The locaton of the hotel was very good - right at one end of Chaweng beach, but a short, cheap taxi ride into the more lively end. We booked a seaside bungalow/villa but should possibly in hindsight booked... More

I am quite surprised at the number of consecutive negative reviews. I was here mid March 2012 and was actually surprised and quite happy with the hotel. We were staying at a different hotel and left because we were not happy. A friend recommended this hotel because he had previously stayed there. This hotel is right on the beach so... More

We stayed here in in the beach bungalows with 2 small kids. And for that kind of holiday, the hotel was great value. First two nights we stayed at the a standard room - not that nice - but hey they are also very cheap. The staff not as "on their toes" as other places, but the feel in the... More

Loved the poolside, only because the beach was very sheltered and the shoreline was right up with the weather which made it tough to get a spot without the waves lapping at your towel. Don't bother ordering from the poolside cafe, the food was rubbish unless your desperate. heaps of nice fresh and authentic dishes a short walk up the... More

This is by no doubt the worst hotel ever, following are my points: - Rooms are extremely small, dated and not very well cleaned. - No wifi access and the public computers are completely useless! - Then the thing that irritates me most... THE STAFF IS UNFRIENDLY AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICE IS UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES THE WORST I EVER... More

Never again! Has never been so badly treated during my 11 visits to Asia. More rude and arrogant lady at the reception, we have never met, thought about that just go to another hotel even though we paid 5000Bath for our bungalow. When we got to the bungalow so was the room prestandard not at all what we expected, broken... More

We were robbed (of money and a mobile phone) by someone who let themselves into our room with a key while we were sleeping!! The manager's complete lack of interest led us to believe he was in on it. He said it wasn't his problem and sent us to the Tourism Police to report it. Unfortunately the staff in this... More

Room was a poor standard however was clean. Toilet didn't flush properly and shower was shocking would of been better to have a garden hose. Looked at other... More

Worst end of Chaweng beach if you want to be accessible to good restaurants, bars and clubs - about 5km from the action. Curt, rude staff. And the rooms, my god! Admittedly, I did pay for the cheapest room but for the same price I have stayed in *much* nicer places. The "first" rooms would be most appropriate for travelers... More

We stayed at this hotel back in 2008 and had a great vacation. During our last stay we thought the hotel had a good location, great beach and good pool area. Rooms were basic but clean. Downside was that the staff were a little unfriendly. Given our views in 2008, we decided to return to First Bungalows in 2010 as... More
