    A beautifully designed hideaway in the forest canopy.

    Despite being beautifully designed there's nowhere to sit comfortably inside (other than your bed) There are 3 white plastic chairs, but these don't afford comfortable lounging. Would have loved a small sofa indoors.

    The location is great, right in the centre of Haad Yao, it's a 1 minute walk to Pura Vida, Bubbas, 7-11. However, it takes a little longer to get back (walking up a fairly steep hill). The cottage is beautifully designed in terms of aesthetics. It is far more stylish than is expected / needed at this price in Phangan. The aircons are new, modern and super effective. The kitchen is well equipped. The balcony is huge, and a lovely setting up in the canopy of the trees.

    Tough climb up to house 8. I feel like houses 6-7 have virtually the same view without the extra pain. It’s a steep runway then steep steps, as pictured. Really take this into account, it’s like walking up 10 flights of stairs each time, in the heat and hummidity, after dinner… There’s a few bugs in the room: mosquitoes when i first arrived and overtime I found quite a few crawlers. Not the most comfortable workspace: tall table and stools indoors, or low coffee table out on the balcony. Not much storage in the kitchen area, only one burner. And they do make it clear it’s not a hotel and that cleaning is every 3 days but charging 70€/night i do believe they should at least clear the bins daily or collect trash on site instead of leaving it up to the guests. Empty water bottles alone pile up. An easy fix would be to provide large water jugs for guests and larger trash bins with a lid. And just a fun little surprise: the mirror in the room will give you nightmares if not body dysmorphia lol!

    Quite spacious, high ceiling, lots of natural light, generally well equipped including toiletteries, kitchen basics. New and modern, yet a bit empty if that makes sense. Feels really private, even the balcony. Soft matress!! Nice change for Thailand, really comfortable. Good a/c. Good shower pressure. Great sunset views from the balcony and right across from the beach. Near great restaurants (Rimtang, Taste from Heaven) Nice manager Evgenii, picked me up at the pier, was always easily reachable for queries. I forgot some stuff after checkout and they kept it safe for me! Nice staff helped me carry luggage up 131 steps!

    We had read previous reviews about the steep path leading to the property, so we were prepared — but yes, it is very steep! Keep that in mind if you have mobility concerns. The staff is very nice and definitely helps with the luggage though. The biggest downside for us was the number of bugs. We encountered lots of ants, a few spiders, some cockroach-like insects, and even a lizard... While it's not uncommon in tropical areas, the property would really benefit from screen doors or mosquito nets to help keep bugs out.

    The place is spacious and cute, like in the photos. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi work well, and it’s quiet at night — perfect for a good night’s sleep. The bed is comfortable, and there’s beautiful natural light during the day. The view is lovely, directly overlooking the beach. However, due to the number of trees in front, it's not ideal for watching the sunset from the room or terrace.

    Nothing we didn’t like. We appreciated the x2 extra pillows on request as it made the bed more comfortable to sit on.

    Beautiful spot with a very comfortable bed and great view. Modern and tidy. Love the sounds of animals/insects in the trees. Peaceful and private.

    It was perfect. Bed was comfortable. Air conditioning was new. Situation of the property was perfect. Clean. Staff were friendly. Bliss.

    Every Thursday, the nearby Apple Bar hosts parties, making it difficult to get any sleep until they end at 2 AM. Room cleaning isn’t done daily but you can request that they come, but even then, it’s minimal—just a bed sheet and towel change, plus a quick floor sweep. When staying for a month, not having the bath mat changed can become a concern. Given the price, this is definitely an area that could be improved.

    We stayed here for a month and absolutely loved it. The room has an incredible view of the ocean and bay, offering plenty of space and a serene jungle setting that makes you feel completely secluded. We even had a monkey visit us, which was a delightful surprise!

    It was the best place on our trip. I can understand that for some hike can be difficult. For us it was a nice addition to move a bit in the morning and evening. The host offered help to get the luggage up, which we didn’t need, but still very helpful.

    The way up is inhumane. It is so steep it is not normal. We are two fit young woman and the way up bit also down was too much for us. It kept is from going hone in between activities. On of us fell, it was so slippery because it had rained. Now she had to go to the hospital to get a shot of tetanus. Like i said the house itself is great once your in. But the way up to the house ain’t normal!

    The property itself is really nice! Comparing to other stays the beds are really soft and I really like that. Airco is not placed on your head while sleeping that’s also very good! Al was fine!

    Only downside is the very steep incline to get to, not suitable for people who are not physically fit or don’t want to do an intense work out each time you return.

    Houses are located one very steep ground. It’s really exhausting to get there (we were staying in the highest bungalow) but it’s recompensed in the price and amazing sea view. Highly recommend

    Really comfortable house. A lot of space. Huge balcony, huge bedroom, hall and also well equipped kitchen. There is even blender for smoothies. All clean look like new

    You have to climb a little bit to arrive but in my opinion it's worth it

    Close to beach, located on a hill so you can see the best view from your balcony. If you like yo cook your own meals you have a small kitchen. I will definitely come back😊

    Weird smell in bathroom, but overall the apartment was clean.

    Location is great, Haad Yao is a nice place on the island close to many beautiful beaches and nice restaurants. The view from the balcony was unmatched so the steep climb up is totally worth it. We stayed an extra night because we loved the island and this accommodation. Friendly owner.

    Cleaning could be more often than every 7 days! And a TV with streaming Services would be great too! Nothing else to complain about!

    Very nice and cozy accommodation! We spent over 3 weeks here and had a wonderful time! Very fast WiFi and very good air conditioning and also good kitchen gear. And Evengii the manager is very nice and helped us with everything. Even though, it also mentioned in the descriptions. It’s not for everyone. There’s no other way to get to the houses but walking. And it goes up very steeply and I mean really steep. And we stayed in the first house row. To get to the higher houses you have to walk up quite a bit, so bare in mind! But if you do you will have one the best views of the sea that you can get in Koh Pahngan! We definitely will come back!
