+ Loooved staying here! Only 15 min walk down to Haad Rin beach and all the bars and restaurants area but up in a hill surrounded by nature. My bungalow was just perfect, beautiful clean room with a really nice private toilet/shower. Amazing balcony views. I have to say that I read a couple of bad reviews after I've booked it and I was quite scared of what I would find but I think some people are just too spoiled.. The place was lovely, I really enjoyed staying there for the 8 nights I booked and I would definitely stay there again :)

- There's nothing I didn't like, i didn't rent a scooter and I still really enjoyed the walk to get there after spending the day down by Haad Rin area.

+ Great bungalow, with lots of space and balcony. There's a mosquito net on the windows which is useful. Free drinking water provided. Surrounded by nature, calm and silent (except the cicadas at dawn - they are very loud!, also you can hear the boats passing) There was a mango tree near the bungalows, always had mangos to pick up from the ground. They also provide many different services, we didn't use them.

- Only cold water in the shower. The lights in the room are not so strong, it's quite dark inside. The stairs leading down to the accommodation aren't the best, and the lights at night don't help too much. It can be dangerous for some people. Without a motorbike it's a bit far from the main parts of Haad Rin, also you have to go up a steep uphill to arrive.

+ When we first arrived, our initial impression was a bit uncertain — we even briefly considered moving somewhere closer to Zen Beach. But very quickly, the place grew on us, and we ended up extending our stay by an extra day 🙂 This really is a little slice of paradise, especially because of its natural beauty. The atmosphere is peaceful, free-spirited, and quite romantic. Most of the guests around us were couples, relaxed and fully enjoying the surroundings, which created a very calm and open vibe. Rin Nai Beach is about an 8-minute walk away, and I’d definitely recommend visiting it. Right next to the property there isn’t a traditional sandy beach, but instead a stunning rocky coastline with large boulders — perfect for some quiet, private sunbathing. I even saw people snorkeling nearby. The hosts are very kind and welcoming. There’s a fun place called “Lighthouse” nearby if you’re in the mood for a night out, and other spots are easily reachable by taxi. The bungalows have a truly authentic charm — ideal if you love nature, a more laid-back lifestyle, or are traveling as a couple.

- Good to know: The area is quite hilly — definitely a bit of a workout, but you get used to it (and your legs will thank you later :) ). Having a scooter would make getting around much easier, especially if you want to explore more of the island. We chose to walk everywhere, which limited how much we could see, but we still got to know the local area really well. Shops are about a 15–20 minute walk away, so it’s good to plan ahead a bit. A few small things to keep in mind: water refills sometimes needed a quick reminder, there’s no fridge, and the air conditioning isn’t very strong — but the cool showers definitely help refresh you. The mattresses are a bit on the older side, though still manageable. At night, you can hear the ocean clearly — for me, it was incredibly calming and added to the whole experience, even if it might take a little getting used to for lighter sleepers.

+ Beautiful view, nice and cozy rooms

- The stairs from the parking to the reception are bit difficult. Sometime I wonder if I really want to go out 😊

+ Das meer direkt vor der tür

- Die bungalows stehn auf sehr verfaulten Balken aus Holz und oder beton der sich schon auflöst. Sehr gefährlich

+ The lady who runs this place is absolutely lovely. The view is amazing, lovely, peaceful spot out of the bustle of Hadrin, which is what I wanted. 10-15 min walk to a nice sandy beach. There is a big hill to carry luggage- as described in the info. I didn't mind keeping fit!

- Nowhere to hang clothes. It is a basic hut with no hot water but didn't mind. It can get quite windy on the balcony for sitting out working- things blow away; the headland here is quite weather exposed.

+ Wer Ruhe haben will und den Sonnenaufgang sehen will, kommt hier definitiv auf seine kosten. Man hört nichts, außer das Meer und die, im umliegenden Wald, lebenden Tiere. Riesen Balkon mit Blick aufs Meer inklusive Hängematte.

- Leider kein Warmwasser und etwas unsauberes Badezimmer.

+ La vue vers la mer !

- Honnêtement juste avoir accès a l'accueil est un obstacle en soit ! Ils y a beaucoup de marches de 10 a 20 pouces de hauteur abandonné depuis longtemps et dangereuse. Chaque côté du stationnement semble être le dépotoir du bout de l'île. Le site aurait un potentiel magique mais c'est a l'abandon. Une cabane sur 2 est tombé ou n'est plus possible. Qualité/prix si vous n'êtes pas exigeant ca va mais pour moi plus jamais ! Regarder la photo de l'accueil...ca en dit long Ca vous prend absolument un véhicule car c'est tres reculer

+ Wenn man die Tür aufmacht ist die Sicht in den Wald schön. Uns wurde ein Set Teller, Tassen und Besteck geliehen.

- Wir hatten ein paar ernstes Problem mit der Unterkunft. Erstmal ist der Weg dahin mit schwerem Gepäck schwierig weil es keine Straße gibt zum Hostel. Man muss riesige Stufen laufen. Der Inhaber hat ab unserer Beschwerde heute unsere Stornierung ab morgen bestätigt aber keine weitere Rückerstattung. Heute kam ein Teil der Zimmerdecke runter inklusive Termiten auf unser Bett. Die Kabine ist nicht mehr bewohnbar. Uns wurde eine andere Kabine angeboten die wir aber nicht wollen. Das Personal war vor Ort ab heute sehr unfreundlich und frech und wurde fast habdgreiflich. Ein Streunender Hund lag hier jeden Tag vor unserer Unterkunft und belästigte uns mit gebellt und hat meine Frau heute auch gebissen. Nach Meldung beim Manager (per WhatsApp) über den Zwischenfall hat ein Angestellter den Hund kurz verjagt, dann kam er wieder. Als wir den ersten Tag in die Kabine kamen waren einige Sachen kaputt (Badarmatur) und einiges sehr schmutzig. Nach Meldung wurde es bereinigt. Außerdem waren die Schlafkissen unter dem Bezug mit schwarzen Schimmelflecken überzogen. Einige bauten rundum sind marode und eingefallen. Nachts gibt es Lärm von an der Küste fahrenden Booten. Die Kippfenster könnte man nicht schließen. Eine Schabe im Bett. Überall Mini-Ameisen wenn man kurz was stehen lässt. Kein einziges Regal oder Wandhaken für Kleider. Eigentlich ein ganz süßes schönes Hostel aber leider sehr niedriger Standard. Wir haben zum gleichen Preis in der Nähe was viel besseres bekommen.
