Lovely hotel with amazing staff

What a wonderful little gem hidden just outside of Saladan. The staff are so welcoming, kind and helpful. We stayed for just 2 nights but loved everything about this amazing place. Stunning location on a great beach which is perfect for children. Rooms are basic but spacious with large bathroom area. Food was great and service was wonderful gutted we didn't find this sooner. Thankyou so much for everything x

Lovely main area, rooms like a dark cave

The rooms were like hot caves, the brown ceilings and dark bedding just wasnt for us. However, the art work and main area decor was vibrant and attractive. Just a shame about the rooms. Our children were terrified!

Cool place with simple rooms

Cool place with jungle theme. Friendly staff, but we had some negative experiences with bed bugs and a lot of insects and mosquitoes. I guess the mosquitoes are unavoidable, but we decided to leave one day early.

We had a fantastic stay, the location is great and one the beach. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. It was really quiet due to the low season so the atmosphere around the restaurant was a bit slow. The rooms are fairly basic but the price reflects this.

Premium location on Klong Dao. Very nice owners, lovely pool just by the beach. Nice restaurant with great selection. Bohemian artsy and a little edgy place so those who appriciates a nice interior surroundings should not be dissapointed. Very relaxed vibe, loved my stay (1 week). Thank you!

Lovely Chaba Bungalows

This accomodation suited me perfectly as it has everything I wish for - beachfront, pool, restaurant/bar, nice staff, atmosphere and personal touch. Owners are so warm and welcoming, after a day everyone called me by my name. I loved this area of the beach. Highly recommend to everyone. Thanks for your hospitality!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very sad place, expensive compared to other accomodations at Koh Lanta. Check-in delayed well after 14. Breakfast payed for but denied by reception (changed after discussions!), Reception open 7.30, but still not open at 8.10 when I had to leave. (Room payed for already, so nothing to be payed for, but...) No TV in my room but in others. No cleaning of room after first night, no excuse. Very little breakfast: Nescafe, 2 pieces of toast, small marmelade package, fake "orange juice", 2 eggs. Although payed for one kings bed and one single bed, only the single bed was made up. Had to sleep in Kings bed under a blanket but no sheet. Heard the German neighbours next door through the thin masonite door. The way from reception to room was a pebbled concrete walkway, not good for sore feet. The pool, very small and not very clean (not used by me). The garden surroundings were not very well kept, as compared to most other establishments at Koh Lanta. However, the long beach at Koh Lanta is fantastic, so don't hesitate to go there, but do not stay at Chaba bungalows for that price, 1/3 more adequate.

Lage top, alles andere miserabel

Personal Im Restaurant sehr freundlich , Housekeeping ist eine katastrophale faul langsam schmutzig und fragen bevor sie arbeiten nach Trinkgeld unverschämt, an der Rezeption Service ganz okay. 5 Tage kein warmes Wasser trotz der vielen Reklamationen, Bett aus Beton mit einer sehr alten Matratze ( vielleicht 30 oder 40 Jahre alt) eine Steckdose für alles , keine Richtige Decke. Alles in allem tolle Lage alles andere kannst Du 100% vergessen

Ofräscht. Mysigt och lummigt, bra läge

Läget var toppen! Alldeles på stranden. Mysig restaurang. Lummigt, färgglatt, Trevligt med pool och bra personal i restaurang och reception. Rummet kändes dock ofräscht, toaletten luktade riktigt illa hela vistelsen, väldigt mycket mygg, myror i rummet fast vi höll stängt. Sängarna otroligt hårda, och vi är inte petiga! Sonen fick utslag över hela kroppen, vet inte om det var bedbugs eller från poolen. Kommer tyvärr inte tillbaka hit.

Ok faciliteter. Hotellet ligger godt placeret på ved stranden. Værelserne er slidte og sengen stenhård. Hotellet er malerisk og anderledes. Poolen havde for meget chlor, hvilket gav børnene sår. Vi henvendte os ved receptionen, som ville bringe det videre.

Nice and relaxing

It was nice and relaxing and really friendly staff. The breakfast is alacarte and ok, but it gets boring if you stay for a longer time. The pool was really nice with kids zone. Our room was spacious, lots of colurs, TV didn't work, housekeepers could do a better job at cleaning bathrooms. The beach has fine sand, is clean, without too many rocks, sometimes it's windy. We enjoyed our stay and we would come back.

I stayed in the hostel portion of this resort and it was great! The staff are very kind and friendly and offered several times to let them know if there was anything at all that I needed! The hostel building, rooms, and beds were very clean, and it was a one minute walk or less to the beach, restaurant and pool! The pool was kept pristine throughout my stay, and the ocean is literally steps away! The hostel mattresses were a bit harder than I am used to, but most of my time was spent on the beach or in the pool, so it wasn’t an issue. The air conditioning worked great to keep cool after the long days in the sun, and the hostel was nice and quiet at night. Overall this is an absolute gem with the perfect location, and friendly, caring staff! I would highly recommend this hostel and resort!
