Perfekt og roligt til 4 overnatninger.
Pros:

Super god morgenmad med surdejsbrød😉 og tilpas mængde. Dejligt med morgenmad til kl.16.
Generelt rent.
Fik gratis vand hver dag.
Lejligheden med hems passede godt til 4 personer. God opbevaringsplads og rummelighed.

Cons:

Til tider kraftig støj fra vejen. Meget høje trin til hems. Afløb stoppede nemt, tidsrum for rengøringen var meget lille. Manglede en kost og fejebakke til at tage det værste sand.

A great base for Koh Lipe
Pros:

This is a great hotel to use as a jumping off point to explore Koh Lipe. The island is so small that everything is in walking distance so you can easily be on any beach in a matter of minutes. It’s also just off Walking Street so you have easy access to bars and restaurants. The staff are so lovely and we enjoyed our daily breakfast in the cafe. The room was spacious if a little shabby chic but we spent most of our time exploring the island anyway!

It was absolutely delightful. The staff was amazing and so was the cafe.
Pros:

It was very nice. Loved that they served breakfast until 4 pm.

Cons:

That it was close to the road, thus road noise.

Best Choice in Koh Lipe
Pros:

This hotel is just perfect. One of the best in Koh Lipe (in a budget point of view).
Super well located, just I’d say, 10min walk to the beach.
Spacious room, good air conditioning. The best thing without any doubt, is the breakfast. My room was exactly as shown in the picture.
The staff are amazing!!!

Cons:

2 dowsings…the bed is hard, can be uncomfortable for some people and the room is clean every day, but, it can be done really late.

Super schön!
Pros:

Das Personal und die Inhabenden des Hotels sind alle super lieb und freundlich gewesen. Die Lage ist super zentral und dennoch ruhig, man ist sehr schnell in der Walking Street und bei diversen Stränden. Das Zimmer war super groß, hatte eine tolle Aussicht, war gepflegt und sauber. Das absolute Highlight war das leckere Frühstück in dem Café direkt vor Ort. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!!!

Pros:

L'emplacement à proximité de tout et au calme et surtout les excellents petits déjeuners. Le lit king size très confortable

Cons:

Le logement n'était pas à la hauteur du prix payé : l'abattant des toilettes n'était pas fixé et bougeait et les joints de la douche mériteraient d'être refait. Il manque également des cintres à accrocher aux portes manteaux présents pour suspendre nos vêtements correctement. Le petit réfrigérateur n'avait pas été dégivré avant notre arrivée.

Pros:

Budget friendly and large family room. The breakfast was good, but they managed to messed up 50% of our orders - got coffee with milk, not almond milk, got pasta salad with bakon (instead of without), had to order something else, because they ran out of pasta. We came in and ordered first, but because of all the mishaps, ended up staying for an hour during breakfast.

Cons:

There was a missing floorboard near the entrance, we were just told to be careful, but one could easily hurt themselves. No mosquito nets on the windows/terrace doors, as everywhere else we have been in Thailand.
