We were there in April 2012, there are our experiences. About Varinda: Very nice resort, hotel´s owners love dogs - they have 3 of them, two cats are going there around; Varinda is touched directly by nature - we love trees, flowers. However the resort is getting "tired" - the furniture needs to be colored again. Rooms: Simple, nature, clean.... More

The hotel has a really lovely setting and a great view from the pool area, but it's pretty old and tired and not what we were expecting based on the website and 4star rating. We had one of the standard double rooms which is a good size but very basic, it had a tatty old fridge and kettle like you... More

This is a bohemian laid-back hotel for a very reasonable price. We booked a block of rooms here for guests attending our wedding. The pool is awesome because it overlooks all of Lamai beach from a hill-top. The beach is a short walk downhill. The gardens surrounding the property make you feel like you are in the jungle. Excellent customer... More

What an amazing place, very different from your so called Five ***** Star destinations. If you are used to Sofitel, Mecure and all those type of 5 star destinations, this will not be your cup of tea. A very unique and amazing place, you find something different every day walking thru the gardens.It is so close to the shopping and... More

Stayed here 5 days. This place is a gem, truly gorgeous. It's this amazing, lush, crazy, rambling collision of beautiful gardens, traditional Thai architecture, huge house-sized boulders, and a big dose of hippy DNA all thrown into the mix. It's located on a hill at the south end of the main street in Lamai, which puts it about 3 minutes... More

Varinda garden resort is one of the best resorts I've stayed in. Everything was so beautiful; from the bungalows, to the whole resort itself. The staff are unbelievably helpful and friendly. I would suggest that if you don't like stairs, don't stay there, otherwise, it's perfect.

Stayed there for my honeymoon for 5 days. We were assured of the cleanliness and the hygiene of the place. Breakfast was yummy and the staffs were all friendly and just as wonderful. They offer many tour packages and they are always smiling and asking if we needed anything more. Did i mentioned that we got a free upgrade coz... More

From the first moment when we arrived, we felt very comfortable. The staff is very friendly. We loved the garden and our bungalow. Everthing has a very personal touch and you can find every day another nice view or detail. We think there is nothing comparable on Koh Samui and this opinion was shared also by some residents. We love... More

I booked this after researching other accommodation in the area. I wanted a nice view and the resort certainly gave us that - it was stunning. The resort itself is actually quite hard to find; I drove myself from the airport and it's just not clearly sign posted, so I drove past it a few times, however, it's probably a... More
