Cleanliness

Mixed cleanliness: several guests note the property is 'technically clean' and toiletries are refreshed daily, but others report stains on bed linens, a rundown appearance in places and stagnant fountain water.
Service
9.5
Service is frequently praised: multiple guests highlight very friendly staff and a helpful cottage manager who went out of his way; occasional reports of unfriendly breakfast staff are isolated but overall service is strong.

Very good location: immediate beach access (rooms ~50m from sea), close to Kai Bae and many restaurants, nice sunsets — one guest disliked local beaches in general but most praise the location.
Room Quality
7
Room quality is mixed: some find rooms comfortable and clean, others report old facilities, sagging mattresses, worn pillows, loud air-conditioning and occasional stains.
Amenities
7
Limited amenities: no on-site facilities beyond basic cottage, shared use of adjacent resort pools (one guest describes it as very small), stagnant decorative fountain, and complaints about limited sockets and lighting.
Value for Money
8
Mixed value: several guests felt the price-performance was acceptable, but others mention extra charges for basic breakfast items and overpriced drinks, so value is average-to-good depending on expectations.

Room for improvement
Pros:

The room size was reasonably good and clean. A 3 minute walk to some great little Bars and a multitude of Restaurants. No facilities here but we're allowed to use the 2 great swimming pools of the resort at the end of the beach. 200 metres. This area/beach is the right place for some very beautiful sunsets. Bed and linen was good.

Cons:

The advertising pictures were taken a long time ago and the reality is a little different. While technically clean, the rooms/restaurant/bar and grounds have a rundown look about them and could do with a bit of TLC. Beach view is great but not so good for swimming due barnacle covered rocks. Pillows are well past their use by date.

Pros:

I was here in late March 2026. Quiet location a short distance from a very beautiful beach and within walking distance of Kai Bae. The cottage offers everything you need. Shared use of the swimming pool at the adjacent resort. The cottage manager was friendly. Because I had difficulty walking, he offered me a lift and was willing to get food for me. Great service.

Cons:

Nothing

Je n’ai pas aimé Koh Chang en général les plages n’ont aucun intérêt et l’eau est sale
Pros:

La situation près des restaurants et location de scooters Le monsieur et la dame à l’arrivée très sympathiques

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner basic si vous aimez les saucisses et le lard alors c’est parfait. Le serveur à lunettes qui ne dit pas bonjour . Les transats pris d’assaut le matin par des personnes extérieures au resort

Very calm and nice, beach and sea is nice. Air con terrible laud, need to be replaced
Pros:

The room is 50 meters from the sea and beach is nice!

Cons:

Air conditioning is very loud! I cannot sleep with it.. but also you can’t sleep without it as it’s too hot..
There are only two options for the breakfast, we stayed for a week and I’m tyred from the same breakfast every day.
Sweming pool - no, the cal it jacuzzi.. as it’s a size of jacuzzi. Also you can’t sleep go to another hotel for the swimming pool .. but it’s not a next door
