Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Generally clean and immersed in nature, but some rooms (treehouse/cabins) reported insects (ants, lizards, flies) and minor maintenance issues (detached toilet seat).
Service
10
Repeatedly praised — staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful with drivers/pool access and attentive, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Location
9.5
Beautiful, serene and surrounded by well-kept gardens; however remote from city centers so guests recommend hiring a scooter or using Grab.
Room Quality
9.5
Rooms are comfortable with very good beds (noted as the comfiest), rustic charm in bungalows/treehouses, though some cabins show wear and need light maintenance.
Amenities
9
Access to a neighbouring resort's pool and a good on-site restaurant are strong positives; limited in-room amenities (e.g., no fridge) and pool now at a different site.
Value for Money
9.5
Guests find the stay excellent value — generous meal portions, discounted neighbouring restaurant/pool access and attentive service enhance perceived value.
Food and Beverage
10
Meals and complimentary breakfast were frequently described as delicious and generously sized; minor critique about set-menu breakfasts and desire for simple fruit platters.
Overall Experience
10
Highly positive overall — many guests called it a gem, felt at home (dog-friendly, intimate staff), would return and strongly recommend.

Il faut savoir que l'hôtel est loin de la ville, des restaurants et des activités touristiques : prévoir un moyen de transport !
Chambre peu isolée phoniquement

Relaxed and recharged with 5-star service
Pros:

The staff were wonderful and very helpful. We like that the accomodation is surrounded by the mountains. The communication was transparent from back home to throughout our stay.

The area was flooded and the manager was quick to remediate the issue. We got to stay at their sister resort Lamia Bamboo Retreat. Highly recommend both places.

Pros:

Der Pool war super, allerdings 5 Minuten zu Fuß von der Unterkunft entfernt und Teil des Luxusresorts nebenan.

Cons:

Alles etwas heruntergekommen. Der „Pool“ vor dem Zimmer wird eigentlich durch niemanden genutzt und sieht nicht besonders einladend aus.
Das Frühstück war ok.
Man hat keine Restaurants oder ähnliches in der direkt Nähe und muss immer mindestens 10 Minuten fahren um was zu essen zu finden.

Skønt sted med en venligst personale. Meget larm fra dyr i nattetimerne.
Pros:

Virkelig sødt personale, de var helt fantastiske og hjalp til med alt vi havde brug for! Morgenmaden var også rigtig lækker og man fik store portioner. Poolfaciliteterne var virkelig lækre og det ligger et meget flot naturområde.

Cons:

Hvis man sover let er det måske ikke et sted for en. Der var MEGET larm om natten fra dyr, og da jeg sover let gjorde det min nattesøvn betydeligt ringere. Jeg vågnede flere gange hver nat og havde svært ved at falde i søvn da der var hunde der gøede ud til sent efter midnat, og der også var høns i området som begyndte at larme tidligt.

De små badekar ude foran hytterne havde kun en lille hane til at fylde dem op. Vi havde den kørende i en time og karet blev kun fyldt 1/5 op højest.

Lamia Bungalows is a sweet spot.
Pros:

This place is a beautiful, peaceful paradise. Lush green foliage surrounds the place. It is quiet and confortable. The pool a short walk down the road was a perfect refresher after a long day of sight seeing. The staff was so helpful and friendly. Especially Yen. She seems to know what you need or want before you do.

Cons:

I didn’t realize how out of the way the place was when I booked it. But, it was easy bough to cone and go. In the end I enjoyed the remote location.

Puur natuur en rustig maar afgeleefd.
Pros:

Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De bedden zijn goed. Het zwembad en het restaurant dat je mag gebruiken van het nieuwe complex 200 meter verder zijn mooi en aangenaam.

Cons:

Alles heeft zijn beste tijd gehad en is afgeleefd. De foto’s op de site zijn niet representatief voor de realiteit. Er zijn te veel kleine dingen die ontbreken of defect zijn… haardroger defect, geen kleine handdoeken, deur kan niet op slot, enz.
Er is zeker nog een publiek voor deze accommodatie maar de foto’s waren te misleidend voor ons.

Pros:

Location is amazing, the room was cleaned and comfortable. Breakfast was all right. The pool looks like isn’t working atm but they offered to used one that is 300m close by. That’s great by the way.

Het was waardeloos!!
Pros:

Personeel was super super aardig

Cons:

Zeer teleurstellend verblijf – komt totaal niet overeen met de foto’s en beoordeling
Helaas viel deze accommodatie ons enorm tegen. De weg ernaartoe was zeer slecht: een lange, hobbelige weg met veel gaten, waardoor het moeilijk was om er met de auto te komen.
De accommodatie zelf was sterk verouderd en had duidelijk achterstallig onderhoud. De douche, het toilet en de wasgelegenheid waren buiten. Het zwembad dat op de foto’s werd getoond, bleek in werkelijkheid leeg, oud en deels afgebroken te zijn. Dit kwam totaal niet overeen met de foto’s op Booking.com.
Het ergste was het ongedierte. Muggen vinden wij normaal in Vietnam, maar dit ging veel verder. ’s Nachts zagen wij zelfs een rat op de wastafel. Dat was voor ons absoluut onacceptabel.
Gelukkig zat er tegenover een splinternieuw en prachtig hotel, waar we gebruik mochten maken van het zwembad. Anders hadden we helemaal geen mogelijkheid gehad om te zwemmen.
Wij begrijpen dan ook totaal niet hoe deze accommodatie een 9,4-beoordeling heeft. Onze ervaring kwam absoluut niet overeen met deze score of met de foto’s die vooraf werden getoond.
We hadden een langer verblijf gepland, maar zijn na slechts één nacht vertrokken. Ter plaatse kregen wij bovendien te horen dat het volledige complex naar verwachting eind dit jaar wordt afgebroken. Dat zou wellicht kunnen verklaren waarom er nauwelijks nog onderhoud wordt gepleegd.
Wij vinden dat de huidige staat van deze accommodatie niet overeenkomt met de presentatie op Booking.com en dat toekomstige gasten hiervan op de hoogte moeten zijn.

Overall we were happy enough with the stay! Staff were amazing couldn’t fault them.
Pros:

The location was so good! And the staff were super helpful. Breakfast in the morning was delicious.

Cons:

The pool was not as private as we thought. Toilet seat was broken and the outdoor shower was dirty with a few holes in the floor.
