Catastrophique je déconseille fortement
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

À FUIRRR Je vous déconseille de séjourner Dans cet établissement. Premièrement le personnel est très désagréable. Quand on demande quelque chose on a l’impression de quémander. De plus il y a des lézard dans la chambre dehors ok mais dans la chambre ?? Pour couronner le tout il y avez des milles pattes noir dans les draps et des fourmis à l’intérieur des coussinets Une serviette de bain par personne. Pas de serviette de plage ni brosse à dent rien les sanitaires même états qu’une prison . Une clé par chambre en journée tu rentres la chambre et un four avec plein de moustiques lézards sur le mur

Nice stay at the Reef but maybe not the cheapest for what you get
Pros:

I liked the breakfast offering which can also be a brunch given they serve until 4pm or similar, the location is quite central even if not directly beach front but the island is so small that you can get anywhere quite easily

Cons:

The room is decent enough but quite basic/minimal, the mattress is a bit hard and you can't open the windows and the Wi-fi is not great, many times it wasn't working at all, they say it's an issue of the whole island but we noticed that other wi-fis were working better.

Nous avions eu un premier studio avec un problème de canalisation, une odeur nauséabonde s’en dégageait. Nous avons dema
Pros:

La possibilité de prendre le petit déjeuné entre 7h et 16h et surtout la qualité des produits proposés.

Cons:

La qualité du studio, les escaliers sont dangereux il faut être très prudent.
La salle de bain est assez rustique et elle est dans son jus

Super Frühstück, könnte etwas sauberer sein
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Man konnte sich aus der Karte des Cafés je ein Getränk sowie ein Gericht pro Person aussuchen.
Innerhalb von wenigen Minuten war man an der Walking Street.
7/11 innerhalb von 5 Minuten zu erreichen.
Personal war sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Es hätte etwas sauberer sein können. Vor allem die Toilette war nicht besonders gut gereinigt.
Wir hatten besonders viele Stechmücken im Zimmer. Zudem zwei Kakerlaken, Geckos und einen Tausendfüßler. Wenn die Zimmer etwas besser abgedichtet wären - bspw. die Türe richtig verschleißen würde - könnte man das sicherlich eindämmen.

Pros:

Location is perfect, 4 minutes walking to sunrise beach, 10 min walking to Sunset Beach or Pattaya beach, walking street is 2 minutes away, very convenient. From my balcony I could even see the sunrise 🌅 Staff is very sweet and friendly, cozy restaurant, I would not say that breakfasts are perfect but they are okay.

Cons:

I could hear neighbors in my room, kids yelling, crying, soundproofing is not that good:)

Relaxing and comfortable stay in Koh Lipe.
Pros:

Food- like the variety of choices and very healthy too

Staff - very friendly and helpful staff.

Location - centered,walking distance to Pattaya ,sunset and sunrise beaches.

Cons:

Perhaps should have fans in the room. At least there is an option not to switch on the air conditioner all the time.

Security, this is something personal I guess. Nothing happens though while we are there.

Overall, we are really happy staying here.

Nel complesso il soggiorno è stato discreto: colazione molto buona e posizione ottima, ma con diversi aspetti migliorabi
Pros:

La colazione era molto buona e anche la posizione comoda

Cons:

Ci sono alcune cose importanti da valutare prima di prenotare. Le camere al piano terra hanno finestre che non possono essere aperte e, di conseguenza, risultano molto buie, poiché è necessario tenere sempre le tende chiuse per garantire un minimo di privacy.
Al nostro arrivo la camera era piena di zanzare, tanto che siamo stati costretti ad acquistare degli insetticidi elettrici. Inoltre, l’ambiente era molto umido e i nostri vestiti risultavano costantemente bagnati.
Inizialmente non ci sono state fornite le asciugamani, che abbiamo dovuto richiedere. Durante il soggiorno (sei notti), le lenzuola non sono mai state cambiate nonostante la camera sia stata pulita due volte, il letto è rimasto sempre lo stesso.

Ein Traum!!
Pros:

Es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt. Die Zimmer sind sauber und wirklich super schön eingerichtet und haben wirklich alles, was man benötigt. Es war wsehr komfortabel mit so kleinen Details versehen d.h. überall noch ein Haken und was zum hinhängen und so. es war wirklich toll, was wir nicht wussten war, dass wir Frühstück inbegriffen hatten und dieses durfte man im dazugehörigen Café einnehmen und zwar zwischen 7:30 Uhr und 16:00 Uhr was einfach fantastisch war und es war so unglaublich lecker die haben so tolle Sachen also sowas hab ich echt selten erlebt!!! aber auch insgesamt. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt es ist richtig richtig schön gewesen und die Mitarbeiter waren auch wirklich sowas von bezaubernd. Also ich möchte definitiv noch mal wiederkommen. Vielen vielen Dank!!

auch die Lage war echt klasse. Man war in vielleicht 5 Minuten an einem wunderschönen Strand. Aber trotzdem war’s ruhig in der Nacht. Also kann ich echt nur alles empfehlen.

Superbe adresse
Pros:

Tout, nous avions un studio avec 2 chambres, il était très bien équipé, joliment décoré, out était bien pensé, les chambres étaient très spacieuse et le petit déjeuner à la carte, compris dans le prix, était très très bon. Il n'est pas en bord de mer, mais vous y êtes en 5 mns à pied, il est très proche de la rue principal de koh lipe.
