The Lodge

A great little hotel in the heart of Fisherman’s Village with its own beach front. Well appointed rooms and those facing the beach benefit from great views to wake up to in the morning. All the staff were exceptionally helpful and eager to make your stay memorable but I would like to single out Lyn on reception for a special mention.

As soon as I arrived at The Lodge, I saw that it is far from being a 4-star hotel. We used some extremely steep and narrow stairs to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor. The room was not clean enough, we cleaned it, and there was loud music from a beach bar in the room. We asked the manager about the noise and he assured us that it would be quiet after 10-11 p.m. But in the evening I could not sleep easily because of the noise. Breakfast is a joke, I said we don't go out for a transparent coffee, a croissant and a slice of toast with jam... In the evening, of course, unbearable loud music.... we didn't sleep at all, and at 24:30 we tried to tell the people at the bar to turn the music down! But they had a private party... the second sleepless night. I looked for another hotel, I found it with difficulty a day later, and I announced at the hotel that I was leaving, having one more night to endure, the third.

The service at the Lodge is beyond outstanding. Each time we have asked for anything it has been graciously given. First, prior to our arrival, I requested a room with an unobstructed balcony view. We were thrilled that our request was granted. The rooms are all oceanfront with no obstructed view, but I believe our room was hand-picked for us. Secondly, our balcony had hard back chairs so we asked the manager if we could buy them and leave them on the balcony. Immediately, he took us to their storage found chairs that were great for us. He even put similar chairs on the beach to add to the lounge chairs that were already there. He also noticed we woke up early and offered an electric kettle so we can make coffee before the restaurant opens. The breakfast, a huge western breakfast, is superb. The first morning, the bacon was not as cooked as we liked, and although we didn't say anything, when the manager came to greet us at breakfast he saw that we had not eaten our bacon. He asked if it was to our liking and we said we liked it crispy. Each morning since that time, the bacon has been perfect! For those who have read that the Bophut beach is not as desirable as others on Koh Samui, please trust us. The water and beach were extremely clean and very swimmable. My husband and I were in the sea several times a day and loved the warm water. Although it was not crowded, there were many, many people swimming everyday and night! The hostel itself is great. The bathroom is not as modern as we are used to, but it is clean and certainly functional. The room is small, but when you lie down in bed, you look straight out to the French doors to the Sea of Thailand. The floors are beautiful, hardwoods polished to a perfect shine. On the other side of the room is the door going out to the renowned Fisherman's Village and just steps from a plethora of restaurants from 5-star to take-out. We will definitely stay here again! We felt like we took a chance and our experience has been nothing but 5-star.

We enjoyed our dinner so much that we went back a second night! There are lots of high-end restaurants in Bophut, charging over the odds for food (for Thailand), so The Lodge is a real hidden gem. It's overlooking the beach so a lovely location, is very reasonably priced and the serving staff are oh so sweet and polite. As well as really tasty meals, the meal presentation was so thoughtful and decorative - not just thrown together on a plate. They also understood the concept of starters before mains, which often wasn't the case in other places! We were upset that the restaurant wasn't busier, so I'm hoping my review will encourage more people to eat here.

Amazing drinks and food! Very nice. The service was very good and very tasty prawns. This place is underrated, right on the water -!: you will not regret it. I continue to write as I must write 200 character. I have covered my review above. Come here and enjoy!

Having stopped at this bar several times over the last week, we could not fault it. The staff were excellent and promoted the happy hour on cocktail’s which were very good. A great location and generally there was always a table free. On the last stop we tried the burgers which were excellent. Give it a try!

I can only comment about the restaurant. After eating Thai food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a week straight, we were in search of a good burger. This place greatly exceeded our expectations. Beef burgers and chicken burgers were both excellent.

I had to spend one night in Samui before flying to Europe and a friend recommended me this hotel located in the heart of Fisherman village in Boh Phut. Once I arrived the welcome was warm and professional. The day after I had to go to immigration and to a clinic to have a Covid test done thus manager June Villa was super helpful in organizing a rental scooter for me for the next day. The staff too is very nice and speak good English. The room was spacious and with a sea view and the sound of the gentle waves was the lullaby for the night. Continental breakfast was plenty and was served on the beach. I would recommend it to anyone.

Staff ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer hatte einen tollen Ausblick auf das Meer. Perfekt. Super Dusche, immer Wasserdruck drauf, was nicht selbstverständlich ist für Koh Samui und Warmwasser lief auch immer. Für drei Nächte, super Ausgangspunkt den Norden der Insel zu erkunden.
