    It’s like staying with family! The hosts are wonderful! They helped us with booking trips, find good beaches and excursions. The little dog is super cute as well :) if we make back here we definitely would stay here again.

    The place is amazing. Not far from the night life, and several night markets, but still like a bubble, in nice, cozy and calm environment. The host Jida and her husband Bibi goes extra mile to accommodate in every aspects. It felt like we came to hope away from home. Highly recommend the stay, we will most definitely come back. The place deserves a 11 out of 10.

    Nothing! It was super clean! Breakfast was very little but not a deal breaker!

    Great location, has 7 11 right next door, has good restaurants walking distance and it’s walking distance to Ark bar and other night life but also in a quiet place so it’s a wonderful location. The hostess Jida is wonderful, friendly, and keeps her place spotless! The bungalow room we got was super clean and quiet! They give bikes on rent without any hassle and just very warm and friendly! Will surely recommend and return! Thanks jida!

    Was there with my mom and my teenage son, the stay at Pandora was just perfect. next to nightlife but very quiet and clean. Jida will make your stay just perfect. just ask her and she will arrange everything for you. She is not just playing, she is a good heart person. you will feel like you stay at home. we will definitely come back, Jida!

    The hotel is very close to the hustle and bustle of chaweng as well as the beach but as soon as you enter through the courtyard it is a quiet and secluded oasis. The owners and staff could not have been more helpful and made me feel at home away from home. The room was clean and had lots of space. Will definitely try to book again for my next time in Samui.

    The service was awesome! At first, I was supposed to stay only 3 nights but I could not leave there!!! The feeling of beeing soooo welcome was overflowing. Jida and Bibi made me feel like I was their family. You cannot put a price on that! And they can organize anything for you: scooter, transportation, trip to Marine park…you name it.

    Basic room. Comfortable but in general overpriced for the value.

    In general, the property was overpriced for the value. No hot water in the shower, the grounds were under construction, the images on the ad do not reflect the condition of the property.

    The host was kind, and the room was basic but comfortable. You're on the outskirts of the action. Good thing/bad thing.

    The most hospitable hotel owners in our entire history of trips to Thailand. The hotel has a wonderful garden and a small beautiful swimming pool. Everything exceeded our expectations. My recommendations! Nearby on the beach, a bar serves the most delicious cocktails on Koh Samui

    Property was fairly basic but the staff were exceptional. The owners really took care of us and went the extra mile to help us out. If an affordable, comfortable stay quite near the night life is what you’re looking for this is the place to book.

    it felt so much like home, that we didn‘t want to leave :(

    they go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and fun as possible, we completely fell in love with the relaxing atmosphere and kindness of the hotel owners! we couldn‘t recommend this place more! we had the best time with jida and her husband! -she organizes bikes, busses and boats for you -she did our laundry -she cooks really good food and you can always ask to eat at the hotel at any time -the breakfast was always freshly made and super good -they got us fresh coconuts everyday (the best coconuts we had in thailand) -rooms are very clean and each room is unique in style -the pool has clean water and was really refreshing we loved it so much - be open and it will feel like living with a local family❤️ jida is really giving her all - due to covid she had to cut back a lot and is fighting to build everything back up to it‘s former glory (however, you will love it now - sincerely the best ever!!!) definitely coming back!! <3

    Only recently reopened after being closed due to covid .so a little TLC is needed to the rooms but I'm sure this will be sorted in due course. Jida was so accommodating and helpful it really didn't matter if a lick of paint was needed here and there.

    Jida and her husband Bibi made us very welcome and were the perfect hosts. They actually made our stay so much more enjoyable and helped with booking our trips out. The elephant visit was amazing as was the atv quad bike experience and we even got to a thai boxing event which was great too.

    The bed had a far too firm mattress.

    Don't be put off by the somewhat unassuming street entrance. Inside you will find a large beautiful garden. The rooms are large and furnished with taste and originality. Equipped with every feature. The couple who own the resort are truly delightful. Excellent cost-benefit ratio.

    The service was absolutely exceptional. I have travelled Europe, America and Thailand and this was the best service I have received anywhere. The owners Jida and BeBe feel like family. They brought us fresh fruit in the morning and Jida made home cooked spring rolls for us in the evening which were delicious. Our group left samui and chose to come back just to see Jida and BeBe again. The beds were extremely comfortable, the rooms were spacious and the location is perfect. Couldn’t recommend more.

    Excellent service. Jida and Bebe were so helpful with regards to providing fresh fruit and spring rolls as well as organising bikes to rent and taxis for our group. Couldn’t recommend more. One of the best places I’ve stayed in. Location ideal also.
