Baan
Bophut, Bophut Beach
We only stayed for one night in May. Because of the heavy rains earlier,
the pool was out of use and beach by the hotel is not good for swimming,
we checked out earlier than planned. There was also electricity black
out for three hours and no water when we arrived. Hotel owner was
very nice and polite. Rooms were beautiful and beds very comfortable.
We upgraded our rooms to seaview when we arrived, and maybe because
of that the rooms were not clean. Bophut beach was very quiet during
low-season, it might be better stay during high-season. Nice restaurants
nearby the hotel. |

This is the second time we have stayed at the Baan Bophut, and both
times have been exceptional. Lucy and Johnny once again made us very
welcome, and their manager, Tic, was an absolute sweetie - he went
out of his way to organise a romantic dinner on the beach for us,
and gave Mark some very handy fishing tips!! The beds are without
doubt the most comfortable on the island, the rooms are very clean
and very spacious, the location of the hotel is fantastic, being just
a couple of minutes walk to the fab bars and restaurants of the Fishermans
Village, and only 10 minutes by cab to Chaweng. The views from the
balcony are breathtaking, and it is the perfect place to stay if you
want to get away from it all and relax, but still have everything
you could ever want more or less on your doorstep! We would highly
recommend this hotel to anybody....... Thanks guys, see you again
next year!!! |

The hotel is very nice, I stayed in seaview room. It s simple but
confortable!! Swimming pool and beach area are small, but right for
the guests. Breakfast very good. Bophut area and Fisherman s village
are really quite but with all facilities and close to all actrations
(Big Buddha,Koh Phangan by boat). The beach in not so clean as in
Chaweng and there is some rocks, but it s a little bit windy... Koh
Samui is a wonderful island!!!! |

Turned out to be a nice boutique hotel right on the beach in Bophut.
Seaview rooms have a great view and if you are on the first floor,
the beach is only about 30 feet from your door. The beach itself is
pretty nice, but if you go in the water, you will find many rocks.
We were more interested in getting some sun and reading outside so
this wasn’t a problem for us. The pool is not too big but since the
hotel was half empty we didn’t run into too many guests. During the
busy season, I would assume that it would be hard to get a beach chair
& hard to find room in the pool. This hotel seems to be geared more
toward adults & I wouldn’t recommend bringing children as there is
not much for them to do. The breakfast was quite good: cereal, large
croissant, plate of fresh fruit, juice & coffee. I thought Baan Bophut
was a great value for $60 USD right on the beach. Staying in Bophut
is much different than Chaweng but there are plenty of restaurants
to eat at and Chaweng is only 10-15 minutes by taxi. The only downside
to this hotel, is that the walls/doors are quite thin so during high
season it would probably be loud. I would stay here again if I came
during low season. |

Baan Bophut, Bophut Beach
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the hotel where the room
was clean and pleasant and the sea view magnificent. Friendly and
attentive staff added to the enjoyment and the breakfast was superb.
We would recommend this small hotel to anyone who wishes a quiet break.
Keep up the good work Baan Bophut! |

Baan Bophut, Bophut Beach
Well, in the first two hours of my stay my bathroom was flooded and
I had to move to another room because of the noisy Brits in the room
below me. I did settle in and found the rooms to be spacious and clean.
The views from each room are outstanding. A picture postcard. The
staff is also very accommodating. Maybe this hotel suffers from an
identity crisis, on whether to cater to the under thirty party crowd
or to the mature traveler. You take your chances. |

very nice little place, clean and nicely decorated rooms with view
on private beach; the right thing for a calm vacation; not many people
on the beach and you are near to Fishermen s village for an evening
walk. very nice staff. |

Baan Bophut, Bophut Beach
WE were supposed to stay 10 days in that hotel, however we did stay
only 2... Knowing very well Bophut village we thought this new hotel
would be great( we had the chance to visit it a year before). However
, we did get there and it was not what we did imagine, we had to wait
for checking in ( No one at the desk, staff was by the pool plying
guitar and singing!), pool was not working and pretty dirty ( Mold),
rooms were not clean ( floors) , staff was OK. I also did find a dead
dog in a plastic bag by the beach and had to have some workers removing
it from the property beach ( beach was not clean as well). All that
to tell you we left 8 days earlier BUT found the best hotel only 2
doors down with so many nice smiles! |

Baan Bophut, Bophut Beach
Beautiful setting. Rooms stylish and elegant. The beds are the best
I have ever had in an hotel. Service friendly and efficient. The breakfast
croissants were utterly fantastic. The Baan Bophut is situated right
on the coarse sandy beach so that the views from your balcony are
fantastic - clear across to Koh Phangan. It has comfortable beach-beds
on the sand and fabulous padded deckchairs and axe cushions on the
strip of lawn between the hotel and the sand. All the rooms have DVD/CD
and the hotel has a good library of films if you get bored, we never
had time to watch any. A short 100 metre walk takes you to the heart
of the village - laid-back isn t the word horizontal better describes
Bophut. No loudness or brashness just good restaurants, quiet bars
and the sea. We absolutely loved it and will be back as soon as possible. |

A perfect spot for a tranquil vacation, almost on the beach (10 meter
with grass separates the hotel from the sand). Nice seaview from all
rooms, which comes with varandas or terraces. Beeing a small hotel,
you are never enclaved within the hotel perimeter, like in those big
resorts: Here you can still watch what is going on in the community.
The community here beeing the nice, small fishermans village . Very
friendly staff and managment. |
