Mooban Talay Resort

Hotel location is really nice if you're looking for quietness and relaxing time, room is spacious and clean, bed is nice , room decoration is really nice, staff members are helpful and decent although not speaking good English but it's all around Thailand, rare to find good English speaking staff, hotel food is really tasty but comparing to other hotels are a bit overpriced. Breakfast is very basic and I see it poor, could be much better.

Trevligt hotell ,slitet. Det var väldigt lungt när vi var där kanske 1/3 av bungalos bokade. Mycket personal som hade det lugnt. Fantastiskt strand både vid hög och lågvatten. Klart vatten. Skulle inte välja någon annan strand. Bra mat på resorten.
Kan absolut rekommendera.

The Seaview bungalow was just top of the top. Quiet with almost private beach in front of the bungalow. Private big garden. Perfect for Honey Moon. Personal really charming and many excursion possibilities. We will come back.

if you expect a luxurious resort then you will be disappointed. but if you look for a quiet, peaceful and friendly place then you are at the right location. the mooban talay is a small resort on a private beach near the main pier of ko samed. friendly staff welcomes you with a warm smile. the rooms are spacious and very clean. the breakfast is simple but very good and the coffee shop that belongs to the hotel makes a good coffee.

if you like a nice thai dinner with a good fish or a very good tom kha gai then stay at the hotel and enjoy it on the resort’s beach restaurant. the food is well done and tasty.

if i had to comain about something its only that the hotel should better care about the alluvial trash. sometimes there ist to much around on the beach.

but thats complaining on a high level. because the mooban talay resort is a nice place to forget about business and hastle and noice in the city. i definitely come back.

We really enjoyed this resort.
Beautiful scenery and it’s relaxing, quite and the breakfast is tasty. The rooms where cleaned everyday which is a plus especially with all the sand.
Lastly the restaurant is affordable and the food is great!

Very clean and great location

Glad och hjälpsam personal. Lugnt och bra läge, återvänder gärna.

Unfortunately, this resort did not meet our expectations. We booked a room expecting to have a quiet, clean, calm holiday and we were met with anything but. Our room was small, not extremely clean and had mold in the room. The resort restaurant food was mediocre and the beach was very crowded with boat loads of tourists who came in for the day. We cut our trip short and moved hotels as we were not satisfied.

We were very happy to stay here! It was beyond our expectations. We have rented a scooter and saw many other resorts which made us realise even more that we had the best! Bungalow is modern and not outdated but totally renovated. Shower is not really outside, but gives you an outside feeling. Good warm water. Great big soft bed. Private beach with comfortable beds, great pool and hammocks. Good breakfast and the restaurant is great with super food! Why is it not on Tripadvisor??? Very friendly service!
This place is a dream and we could not have wished for anything better!

We recently stayed at this resort and it turned out to be a complete letdown. The filthy pier and the resort boat which was poorly maintained already gave me an idea of what to expect. Apart from the location which is good, the rest is truly dissappointing. After checking in a room which was basic and an outdoor shower with missing floor tiles, we proceeded to the pool with a timber deck that ought to be replaced entirely! Wooden planks are missing (see pictures), nails are pointing out etc..., a potential safety hazard. The worst had yet to come. We spent some time on the beach which was infested with sand flies and were bitten all over. A week later many of those bites are still itchy and infected. We also had to deal with mosquitoes in our room. A complete nightmare. The breakfast buffet is basic at best with the cheapest quality of bread juices, jam and butter you can find. Lunch and dinner dishes were acceptable. The staff whilst very kind were untrained and we could not get our food served for the 3 of us at the same time. I am sure they are far better resorts on the island offering better value for the money we paid. You have been warned!

It was very quiet and relaxing. No tours on the beach and basically no one on the beach ! The food was excellent at the restaurant. It’s a great chill out place and romantic if so inclined. If you are looking for a busy nightlife the island is probably not for you.

First of all getting here is a pain. There is only 1 transfer the hotel offers which is at 1pm from Ban Phe. If you reach after that, you are left to fend for yourself with the cheating and aggression of the touts at the filthy pier. Btw, be warned you have to carry your own luggage on the pier and onto the speedboat.

A beach landing, where the hotel staff were present, we proceeded to the resort.

Unkempt, poorly maintained and inefficient service are clearly visible. No one to attend at the reception, coffee shop and restaurant staff busy chatting among themselves.

Poor toiletries.

Mosquitoes.

Lack of cleanliness within public areas. The pathetic welcome drink they offered us, the glasses of which were still lying at the reception after 4 hours!

Poor quality of tea in room.

No lockers in room.

Light bulbs non functional.

Slow wi fi

When we said we wanted to check out after 1 night as were dissatisfied with the resort, they told us they would charge us for an extra night as we were booked for 3 nights. When we asked Booking.com through whom we had booked, they said it's the property's discretion and the resort says it required clearance from Booking.com. Pure harassment!

We requested an oil massage on arrival. They have NO SPA! They said a lady would come at 5 30 and give massage to me and my wife one after another. Then they informed that she was on the mainland and could come only at 6 45. When the therapist finally turned up, she said she didn't know oil massage and could give only Thai massage!

I have never given such a poor review to any property in the past but Mooban Talay deserves nothing better. Stay at your own risk!

it was a nice stayover here, anytime again ;)
Ko Samed is such a beautiful island!

RUSTIC YET CHARMING
VERY CLEAN
VERY FRIENDLY STAFF
ONLY THING I DID NOT LIKE WAS THAT THE POOL IS REALLY DIRTY LOOKING AND THE PADS USED FOR SUNBATHING ARE ATROCIOUS.

ชายหาดที่สะอาด สงบ รมรื่น แวดล้อมไปด้วยต้นไม้ สดชื่นมากค่ะ

Our Beachfront Bungalow was stylish and newly renovated, the white sands beach in front of it is quiet and in the evening, you can have fantastic dinner there. Real recommendation!
The staff is very friendly.
Pool is ok for a dip.

We have rented 3 bungalows for 3 night. It was clean and comfy. Wi-Fi unfortunately was working only in reception area and just. Very odd – kettles in the room, but no tea or coffee provided. We have tried to book tailor made service in advance, but because of lack of communication hotel lost around £700.00 revenue we spend at nearby beach restaurant celebrating one of our friend’s Wow’s Renewal. Hotel is on island’s quiet side, providing free transfer from/to mainland, walking distance to main pier and other amenities.

Beautiful rooms in a garden with pond, great beach and Nice food!

Loved the accommodation, so close to the beach and pool. Also easy walking distance to other places on the island.

Hotel is fine, beach is clean, food is nice
Price versus quality very good
