Rann Chalet Beach Side

I really enjoyed staying here. It is a handy location with almost instant access to the beach. You do have to go without home comforts though as there is no ac but a fan and it is open to bugs but there is a mozzy net which is sufficient. A back to basics place but at that price worth every penny

Die Chalet sind aus Bambus.
Sehr einzigartig und liebevoll gestaltet.
Das Chalet hat zwei Räume und eine kleine Terrasse mit Hängematte:
Zimmer mit einem Bett mit Moskitonetz. Und eine Ablage ausreichend für zwei Rucksäcke oder Koffer.
Auspacken der Kleidung nicht möglich aus Platzgründen.
Im Raum steht ein Ventilator. Ist völlig ausreichend, wir haben sehr gut geschlafen.
Das Badezimmer hat alles was man braucht.
Wer Luxus erwartet ist hier falsch!!
Ganz toll war das Frühstück unter einem Baum im Schatten am Strand.
Das Essen hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt.
Die Besitzerin und das Personal waren sehr freundlich.
Das einzige was uns gestört hat war jeden Morgen um 5 Uhr der Aufruf zum Morgengebet über Lautsprecher der nahe gelegenen Moschee (dazu kann der Besitzer nichts).
Wir würden Rann Chalet wieder buchen.

We booked 'Superior Queen Size Chalet'. Nothing 'Superior' about it. This accommodation was small, standing room only in the bed area, more holes in the walls to let mozzies in than a sieve, mozzie net full of holes, mattress 4" thick and full of springs and no padding. Not even a ceiling fan advertised but a decrepit desk fan. Outside on 'balcony' some seating with filthy cushions that the cat obviously sleeps on. Outside its noisy being next to a road, smelly being next to a non moving water course and the view is the back of the kitchen with hanging laundry and discarded box piles.
We left after less than an hour staying only to use wifi while trying to find other accomodation which we found just up the road for a slighty higher rate including 2 pools, breakfast, nice restaurant, etc.
Take this review SERIOUSLY! This is a bad place. Ignore and whinge at your leisure. We lost £158 and Hotels should be offering up compensation. Worst accomodation in 4 months of SE Asia travel.

Seht freundliches Personal, direkt am Strand, spektakuläre Sonnenuntergänge direkt vom Restaurant zu sehen. Supermarkt nur 2 Minuten entfernt

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is very basic, but exactly what we were expecting from a hut on the beach. The beach outside the front of the chalet is stunning. We would recommend mosquito repellant as there are lots, day and night. We stayed for 2 nights and this was definitely enough time! The staff were friendly and really helpful and offered lots of other services including laundry and motorbike rental.

On the beach budget

det var en bra vistelse, en lite stuga med både toalett och dusch. wi-fiet funkade hyfsat med tanke på pris och plats, vi kunde till och med streama film på kvällen. bortsett från att det vart storm och blött några av kvällarna är vi väldigt nöjda!

Bungalow vraiment petit, sanitaire en très mauvais état.

Good location, next to the beach, clean bathroom. But bed is old and not comfortable. Lot of mosquitos!!

What we liked : Some of the staff is OK, the owner is cery nice and pleasant
The food is great at the restaurant and not very pricey but still a lot for the location
The village of challets is very close to the beach - literally you go out and go in the beach
There is a net over the bed which helps you with the mosquitos
The challets are clean-ish, you can feel the smell of fresh linens
There were puppies and we could play with them
What we didn’t like : the water situation is bad, cold water, toilet leaking, water leaking from the sink
Mosquitos everywhere due to bathroom being moist because of the water situation in the toilet
What we hated :
This location is for people that prefer the wild, and have no preferences for comfort what so ever.
Some of the challets have horrible beds, the mattress is horrible to sleep in
The value for money is not worth it, you pay a little more and you can go to such a beatifull island like phi phi.
The hotel offers trips but if you go a little further, you will find trips as cheap as 600 baht (they offer same trip with 1000).
There are no toiletries like soap or shampoo.
There is a bar close to the village where music is loud so you will not be able to sleep.
I do NOT recommend this place if you like comfort, this is for people that want something really cheap with no comfort. Is not even quiet as during the day you will hear the cars and during the night you will hear the bar.
We would not come again for sure.

Réservation mensongère d'une chambre de 18m2 avec balcon vue mer, dite 'supérieure' . En fait une mini hutte en bambou d'à peine 6m2 où ne pouvons ouvrir nos 2 sacs ni nous croiser. Vue sur les voisins d'en face à 3m. La route principale à 20m.qui donne l'impression de dormir sur l'autoroute. Le bar voisin avec musique jusqu'à 3h du matin. Matelas dont les ressorts rentrent dans le dos. Ventilateur poussif. Le pire hébergement de notre mois en Thaïlande pendant lequel nous avons pourtant expérimenté plusieurs huttes. Le resto sur la plage est bon et la propriétaire est plutôt sympa, mais c'est franchement le pire endroit de la plage. Il y a une multitude d'autres guest houses sur toutes les plages de l'île. Cet endroit n'a rien de paradisiaque. Nous avons quitté l'endroit en perdant 4 nuits de réservation.

Ikke så stort så børn og forældre kan være der, pga pladsen - men de kom her fra nærliggende resort for både det hyggelige og fantastiske mad - ikke morgenmaden - så bestil individuelt så er det rigtig godt - skønne ejere og så dejligt - kan varmt anbefales

Det var lite påfrestande hur liten den var och med själva sängen som var liten av en studsmatta på vissa ställen, på det stora hela var det härligt.

Definitely worth to stay at Rann Chalet considering the price.
The lady who owns it is amazing! Very friendly, funny and helpful.
The karaoke bar next door can be a bit annoying if you have troubles sleeping.

Written as include breakfast but no breakfast provided.

A better desciption of the actual facilities available would be advisable. Although we had an enjoyable 3 days, as the chalet was virtually on the beach, the bamboo hut was very basic. However, staff were delightful, we could use their fridge and the beach restaraunts were good.

Good location next to beach. Owner was very nice and welcoming. The Beach huts are basic but suit the purpose with everything you need for chilled stay. The only downside is noise from karaoke bar next door. But would definitely stay again. The restaurant is good and if required there are cheap eateries closeby.

This is the first time we stay at a bungalow. At first it felt a bit small, but once you chill a bit, you realize that you're in paradise. If you're not too spoiled and looking for a place to chill, I would definitely go to there (we spent 4 nights). Ma, Rann and Pound will help you with everything you need and will make you feel at home. The bungalow itself is just 20 steps from the best beach in Lanta, and the domestic restaurant is great as well (Rann is the chef).

I wish I could write something else but I saw the Bungalows and turned around to check out immediately. You could barely stand straight, the bathroom was stinky, I couldn't stand it for a single minute. Agreed with the reception lady to pay the first night, which was ok. I am sorry, Staff seemed nice from what I saw.

the staff was very nice and helpful. for the price and proximity to the beach. all in all a wonderful experience.
