wonderful accommodation in haadrin. is close to the pier where the small boats from koh samui dock so you don't have to take a taxi or the like but only 200m to walk :)the rooms are quite ok considering the price.there is a pool with a view of the beach, here they play some nice music in the evenings and you can enjoy the sunset in the best way :)approx. 700m to the party beach, so if you want to go to bed early, they are still quite quiet :)really recommended!!!

Very good location, if you want you are close to the full moon or the most beautiful beach in Koh Phangan. The rooms are good, they do not have luxuries but for the essentials it is fine.

Was great location on the beach with a pool and big speakers near the pool. The room and place looked run down. Aircon worked well. Not the best service. We stayed there for the full moon party while prices around Haad run were inflated. …

Had reserved a hotel for 4 nights. When I went to check in, the room was not ready and had to wait for a long time. Until you can find a room Entering the room, the floor was still wet. The bathroom was wet. There was no closet in the room. The condition of the room needs to be improved. The toilet hose is attached to the wrong side, making it inconvenient to use. On the second day, the drain pipe in the bathroom When it started to get clogged I notified the technician to fix it. But it can't be solved. Until he brought the pump for me. We have to pump it ourselves. But I didn't change the room because I was too lazy to move. And the staff informed that there is no free drinking water available in the room so you have to buy it here, making it a bit confusing. Because a friend has stayed here and he has it for him. Moreover, the swimming pool should be taken care of. and more cleanliness than this Overall not very impressed But the location is good because it's next to the beach and can watch the sunset.

Drunk owner just randomly yelled at my friend while we were having drinks at the pool. He wouldn’t stop yelling and was super aggressive and intimidating, so we left. Surprised this place is called “friendly” resort

DO NOT STAY HERE- not even for the full moon party!!!! |Do not make the same mistake we did. Me and my friend are on a gap year (18/19 year old girls) and decided to treat ourselves to a private room in Haad Rin for the full moon party. …

We stayed in one of the top floor rooms which was spacious and met all our needs. Super close to the Full Moon Party too but far enough away to get some peace and quiet.

On the one hand it's a great hotel. The room is big has a hot shower and a fridge and at the reception you can get hot water for tea and Coffee. There is a pool and you have direct access to the beach.But, it's also very oldfashioned and the bed is half broken.We enjoyed our stay and would come back I guess.

No tv in one room, no a.c. in the other.. black mold in one shower, leaks in bathroom from the shower above (i hope)... I watched the manager get physical with a customer over a broken window. Good view by the pool, but the beach is littered with boats making enjoying swimming almost impossible.

We had booked two rooms for New Year's Eve through booking. Upon arrival at the reception, they told us that they had canceled cooperation with booking and that they did not have rooms for us. It was a chore to find accommodation on New Year's Eve and the moon party.

Be careful when booking online. The hotel canceled our reservation on the eve of the New Year's holiday, when there were no more available hotel options available.
