Shower pressure was a little low but thats expected in Thailand islands. Air Conditioning took a while to kick in after turning on, but the ceiling fan made a huge difference.

Comfy beds, nice pool facility that was clean. Onsite bar and restaurant was nice too. Parking not so bad, as long as the place isn't booked out.

It was super clean and very upscale and very nice staff! I left something behind and they were still kind of helping me get it over to the right place …

We enjoyed the whole property.

Clearly the staff work as a team and are warm, kind, and helpful to guests. We stayed at Baan Sawan Samui Resort for 15 nights and had an absolutely wonderful time. This place was an oasis with gorgeous pools, an excellent restaurant, and great rooms.

A little remote, but taxis are cheap and plentiful.

From the moment we arrived at Baan Sawan Samui Resort, we were welcomed with such warmth and care that we immediately felt at home. The staff were absolutely excellent, and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly—nothing was too much trouble. Whether it was helping us arrange transport, offering great local recommendations, or simply checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly, their genuine hospitality really made our stay special. We stayed in one of the villas, and it was incredibly spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. There was plenty of room to relax, and the setting itself felt peaceful and authentic—just what we were looking for. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care has gone into creating a space that reflects the charm of Koh Samui while still offering modern comfort. Each morning we looked forward to the delicious breakfast, which had a great selection of fresh and tasty options. It was the perfect start to the day, and always served with a smile. The overall atmosphere at the resort felt genuine and relaxed, with a real attention to detail that set it apart from the more commercial hotels on the island. Although the resort isn’t directly on the beach, getting around by taxi was quick and easy, and we never felt too far from anything. The only thing to note is that crossing the road to get to the beach requires a bit of caution, especially during busier times. That said, we absolutely loved our stay here and would happily return—thank you to everyone at Baan Sawan for making our holiday so memorable.

Staff was very friendly. Food at the restaurant was cheap and good. Breakfast offered fresh fruit and nice vibes. Overall good experience.

The location is a bit off, and the major road is not walkable, so you'll need transportation if you don't want to stay the entire day at the hotel or visit the one other rearuraunt nearby. Duvet and cushions had some stains on them,

Really great staff. Good value for money. Excellent restaurant. The pool was appropriatly cool and not overcrowded. Cozy environment. Loved the dogs.

to go to the beach you need to cross a large road where cars drive fast. The beach is great though :)

the owner and the staff are absolutely lovely! Great facilities and very clean property. 👌

I cant fault it, will definitely return.

The hotel has a beautiful style incorporating European elegance in a rich green tropical Thai surrounds. The staff are amazing, so friendly, genuine and accommodating. The food from the restaurant is delicious and I have never experienced bread and pastry this good anywhere in SE Asia.

Unsure how this hotel isn’t 5* in comparison so other hotels I’ve stayed in Thailand.

Nothing it was perfect

Beautiful hidden haven, gorgeous boutique hotel which is family run, the family suite was very very spacious with 2 really good sized separate bedrooms which both had French doors on to the large terrace with a beautiful infinity pool on your doorstep! The restaurant which is open daily and evenings serves a wide varied menu, again we could not fault the food and service which was fantastic, we would highly recommend heading there for a spot of dining. Phillippe and all the staff made our stay such an enjoyable experience, if/when we go back to Koh Samui will definitely be heading back!!

location though not too far by car from anywhere, would be a bit of a hike if walking to a beach or to any restaurants

Everything was great. The only thing is that you can not walk to the closest town. You need a scooter which you can get from Phillipe though! It is a good idea to rent a scooter to discover the island in general.

The host was amazing! You could always reach out to him and he was able to answer your questions or help you. We really enjoyed the breakfast and our room next to the pool.

Distance from the beach (not safe to go by walk) Transfer service (the property forgot to book the transfer. Finally we got it but just because we called the manager)

Nothing to do with you but those dogs down the road are awful!

Beautiful place! Clean, lovely staff - we enjoyed so much we booked an additional 3 nights but moved to different rooms each time, all pristine condition. Fabulous views enough deck chairs for guests. Transport to and fro the airport/ferry can be organised. Good location but can be out of the way if walking, also dogs at the bottom of the hill can be very intimidating late at night and when dark! We hired scooters around the corner to get around - it seems most people do. Very family friendly too. I accidentally dropped the room key in my bag and had the politest message from Philippe to post back at the airport - sorry about that! Also big thanks to Joe for sorting rooms and the lovely ladies each day xx

It was amazing. Fan not working in room but not really an issue. Great AC.

My friend and I loved this unqiue boutique hotel on the hillside above popular beaches. Loved the pools, the comfy beds, big room, bathroom and huge porch, the chic open air bar and restaurant, the gardens, the ambiance, the breakfast and dinner, the delightful concierge welcome of Philippe, the owner and designer, and his staff. Outstanding service. This gem of a hotel is worth a visit to Koh Samui. Skip the beaches and just hang out at Baan Sawan!

To get to the beach and shops you will have to cross a very busy road, which felt a little scary - especially with small kids.

Fantastic oasis a little away from everything. This place is a nice and quiet place - perfect for our small family who wanted to relax a bit. We had the family room with two rooms and enjoyed the pools and very nice food.
