Eden Bungalows, Koh Samui hotels Thailand

Ewa Bogucki 2008-08-07 until 2008-08-15	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Eden Bungalows is very expensive for what you get. Deluxe is a fair sized room, but dark despite large sliding doors. Was given a room where the previous occupant was a heavy indoor smoker, air freshener was the solution, no other solution was offered. Outside bathroom sounds like a good idea until you get a stomach bug and realise that because the rooms are in a block and your neighbours can hear every detail. Some of the other rooms looked like prison cells when we sneaked a peek. Beware any hotel that asks you to pay the full amount of the stay in cash in advance! Good hotels do not need to, they are always ensured of full occupancy. The pool is tiny. Breakfast is not included. Beach is over the road but there is current massive construction ongoing next to the beach.I would have liked the room maid to have cleaned the bathroom rather than just tidied the products. The Smile Bungalows next door are much bigger, more comforatable and cheaper. Bo Phut itsefl is upmarket and expensive and definately has a Mediterranean feelbut then why go to Thailand. I was not happy with the value for money.	ok
Gabri 2008-08-07 until 2008-08-11	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Despite the beautiful garden surrounding the rooms/bungalows, the accomodation is vastly overpriced (and breakfast is not even included). The rooms were relatively small and not very clean. During our 4-day stay we have never seen so many cockroaches in our room as during our entire 4-week stay in Thailand and the provided towels smelled awfully unpleased! The french female owner was very helpful and gave a couple of good suggestions for nice plavces to visit away from the crowds. Her french husband/co-owner is a guy who couldn t care less about his guests.
jean-marc verbist 2008-07-28 until 2008-07-31	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach We booked 3 nights at this hotel and then decided to stay 6 nights...which is a good sign. Charmful address, nice food, good advices from the hotel boss. Not positioned on the beach but much cheaper also. A real good address for Routard people. To recommend.	good f-up!
COURSIMAULT 2008-06-07 until 2008-06-08	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach The rooms are very nice and the french staff too. Very clean. The GH is conveniently located at 2 minutes restaurants.	Booking service is very efficient, as usual !
Jessica McDunn 2008-06-04 until 2008-06-05	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach The bungalow was nice, and we liked the connected outdoor bathroom. It was a bit tricky navigating the stairs from the room down to the bathroom, as we each easily hit our heads on the low doorway. Also, breakfast was not included, and other similarly-priced accommodations offered and included breakfast. I felt like we weren t valued as guests as much as the other guests since we only stayed one night.	the booking service seemed straight-forward
Maria Helene McKee 2008-05-22 until 2008-05-24	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Very clean, comfortable, nice staff, nice pool, nice pool table. Ko Samui, on the other hand, should be avoided, but if you are there, Eden is a very nice escape from the craziness!
Mauro Avalini 2008-05-17 until 2008-05-20	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Hotel magnifico, camere spaziose pulite e con l aria condizionata. Buona ospitalità, ottima anche la piscina
Lois Danielle Breegan 2008-05-12 until 2008-05-17	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Have just got back from a holiday to Koh Samui/Koh Phangan. Absolutely amazing. Loved Bo Phut & the Eden Bungalows, lovely staff and such a beautiful place. Loads of nice restaurants, wish I was going back this week!	Booking via Sawadee was great, very easy and reliable. Would recommend
MIGNARD 2008-04-05 until 2008-04-09	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Bon accueil. cadre sympathique.chambre confortable et calme. Bien situé. La possibilité de prendre une douche après la remise des clefs est très appréciable. Nous avons apprécié de pouvoir nous exprimer en français avec les propriétaires.	Recherche et réservation facile.
Ine Marion Jenniskens 2008-03-12 until 2008-03-15	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach This is really a very nice place to stay!!!! The room is clean and nice but the garden with the swimmingpool is fantastic!! It is very green and quiet! The food is lovely as well! I think I orderd 3 times the Eden sandwich for lunch because it is so nice! And you have eaten for whole day! The owners are very friendly even as the staff (and very patient as we saw with time-taking costumers)! The location is perfect as well! Bo Phut is a lovely place and Eden is in a street with all nice reataurants without being noisy or very very touristic! We can really recommend this place!	Good and quick as always!
Delaunay 2008-03-06 until 2008-03-17	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Really a great place with friendly ambiance - Every thing is perfect, very clean and fresh french croissant every morning - a very good restaurant and nice staff. We definitively return in Eden Bungalows. All is made to make our holidays unforgetable !!!	As usual, no problem
Delaunay 2008-03-06 until 2008-03-17	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Nous avons passé 12 jours magnifiques dans une ambiance très chaleureuse. Grâce à l aide et aux conseils des propriétaires nous avons découvert un Samui authentique et sauvage. Cet hôtel est idéalement situé, très propre avec un personnel toujours à votre écoute. La cuisinière est une perle - demandez la fondue thaie - C est certain, si nous retournons à Samui nous retournerons dans cet là profiter du jardin magnifique ou se reposer près de la piscine ... Voilà, tout est fait pour rendre nos vacances inoubliables !	As usual no problem
Helen Jolly 2008-02-17 until 2008-02-25	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach The Eden bungalows are beautiful and the bathrooms have gorgeous open-sky showers. Set in a stunning tropical garden with a lovely little pool it was an extremely relaxing stay and we were very well looked after. Bo Phut is the nicest area to stay on Koh Samui and we can t wait to go back!	There were no problems using this service, everything ran smoothly even when we amended our booking dates to give us a longer stay. We weren t picked up from the airport as requested, but there are plenty of taxis there anyway at the same cost, so this wasn t a problem.
Anthony R. Hageman 2008-02-01 until 2008-02-11	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Nice location. Friendly service, very quiet and close to a variety of shops and restaurants. Overall I felt it was overpriced for what you got. The room was small with no place to really hang or put clothes and other items. No bathroom counter space. You have to pay for anything extra - no complimenatary bottled water or breakfast provided. They didn t even provide a small bottle of shampoo.
Enrique P 2008-01-30 until 2008-02-04	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach I asked for an airport pickup that never arrived. After arriving by my own means, the welcome was cold and distant. When I reserved through sawadee.com, the owners kept from telling me that the Classic Bungalow was in fact two meters from the microscopic pool and three from the bar and that I would hear the entire life of my neighbors all night through the paper-thin wall. The room was small, dark, quite ugly but clean. Lucky the beach was not far across the road. Check-out was even less friendly. Staff at Eden Bungalows have forgotten how to smile. If you wish to visit France this place is okay but it s definitely not in Thailand. I wrote them a feedback email that didn t even get a reply. Very disappointing.	I booked and was confirmed 5 nights then after paying half of the amount, I received a message saying that I could only stay 3 nights. It didn t seem to bother them a second.
Isabel Oliveira 2008-01-06 until 2008-01-12	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach I loved the hotel and the location. It is a beautiful boutique hotel, clean and welcoming, the owners are friendly, just across from a very quiet beach, in quiet Po Bhut. Food at the restaurant is great and special evenings offered by the hotel are worth it. At this price, by the beach, you can t beat it.	Great service - we had our driver waiting for us at the airport, everything went smoothly.
Miss Lisa McCarthy 2007-12-27 until 2007-12-28	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach We only stayed one night, had a pleasant stay, happy with all the facilities. In the heart of the lovely Bophut Fisherman Village with plenty of good restaurants.	Prompt service, very helpful, would use again.
Matthias Uhlmann 2007-04-20 until 2007-04-23	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Die Anlage ist sehr nett und individuell gestaltet. Die kleinen Bungalows liegen in einem schoen angelegten Garten und es ist alles sehr gepflegt. Leider befindet sich das Hotel nicht direkt am Strand und leider gibt es auch keine oeffentlichen Liegen am Strand, sodass wir das Hotel nach ein paar Tagen gewechselt haben. Negativ ist uns noch aufgefallen, dass das Personal teilweise sehr unfreundlich war (nach dem Motto zu cool fuer diese Welt ), was eigentlich voellig untypisch fuer Thailand ist. So wurden wir hauefig keines Blickes gewuerdigt (z.B. beim Auschecken) und unser Deposit wurde uns erst auf Nachfrage und dann mit genervter Miene ausgehaendigt.	unkompliziert, alles hat sehr gut geklappt
Sandra Bowers 2006-12-28 until 2006-12-29	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Absolutely beautiful bungalow - exceptionally clean and well thought out, especially the outdoor shower! Lydia, the owner was like a long lost friend and could not have been more helpful. The breakfast was lovely - we would definitely recommend Eden and hope to return some day.	Excellent
Hans Bijl 2006-12-27 until 2007-01-05	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Great place to spend your Samui holiday, perfect for kids (and their parents!). Friendly & helpfull staff, nice location, spotless rooms and maybe one of the best-value-for-money restaurants in Bo Phut. Highly recommended !	worked out fine, except for making changes to the original booking
Jill Wilcox 2006-08-30 until 2006-08-31	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach wonderful, pretty hotel in a great location (lots of shops and bars close by) and right next to an amazing beach with wonderful views. I would certainly go there again - the rates were very reasonable too.	www.sawadee booking system was excellent - I had a reservation confirmation within 20 minutes.
Keri Troehler 2005-07-18 until 2005-07-22	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach EDEN BUNGALOWS C EST VRAIMENT UN ENDROIT MERVEILLEUX RIEN A VOIR AVEC CES GRANDS HOTELS IMPERSONNELS.

Lesley Polson 2005-07-10 until 2005-07-18	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach J ai passe une semaine a Koh Samui et j ai loge a l Eden Bungalows. Je vous recommande vivement cet endroit. Les bungalows deluxe sont vraiment formidables, decoration raffinee et salle de bain a ciel ouvert avec petit jardin. L endroit est vraiment tres calme, les proprios et le staff tres sympas et tres arrangeants. Si vous allez a Samui c est la qu il faut venir!!!	Service serieux,rapide et efficace. Rien a dire.
C Follon 2005-03-13 until 2005-03-31	eden, Bophut Beach We enjoyed our 3 week stay in what was a lovely good sized, clean, comfortable bungalow set in a beautiful garden with an immaculate bijou pool. The location was perfect for us as we like small scale friendly hotels in village type locations with plenty of restaurants and bars. We would like to thank Bai Toie and staff for making our holiday a good one. We shall be back. Lou & Julie Follon	Very easy will use again
myra mcshannon 2005-02-16 until 2005-02-18	eden, Bophut Beach Pool is relatively small but nice grounds and sunbeds etc v nice. jacuzzi isnt good. We recd an upgrade it appears when we stayed for 2 days 6 - 8th and bungalow called flamboyant was fantastic (outdoor shower, was a bungalow, sat tv, aircon, minibar) however when staying 16 - 18th it was not what i would call a deluxe bungalow as we were informed. It was a double room without sat tv as promised. Eden is nice place to stay and would stay again in a bungalow aka flamboyant however need to be careful of false advertising via sawadee of a deluxe bungalow when in actual fact you are getting a double room as this lead to unhappy cusotmers which is a shame as its a lovely place but flase expectations are being set.	While promised a pickup from airport this wasnt there and eden didnt take responsibility for this as had been booked through sawadee. Informed that other travellers that day had also not been met from the airport.
louis bader 2005-02-06 until 2005-02-19	eden, Bophut Beach the hotel looks nicer on the internet than it is in reality. the garden is ok, the swimmingpool is to much chlorated , the kids had red eyes... after 2 days we asked them not to swimm in this pool. we have booked the family bungalow: disappointing (uncomfortable bed, old mattress, the kids were upstairs , but no separation, this means no intimity during 2 weeks...). the french breakfast was also disappointing. after 3 days we chosed to take the breakfast in the hotel besides... we paid 3990 bht per night, the hotel 20 meters from this one offered bungalows with 2 bedrooms for 4000 bht per night, but was fully booked. we did not choose eden bungalows, but accepted the booking there because our hotel at phuket and the beach has been decimated by the tsunami. we saved our holidays. we recommend not to book this hotel for a long stay. the hotel is recommended by Le routard , for backpacking. the French manager s amability is exclusively commercial... we had to pay 1/3 of the total amount at the booking, non-refundable ! we had to pay a key-deposit (we never had to do that in Phuket...), and there is only one common safe, at the bar...	The booking service was good, efficient, quick.
Peter Slade 2004-10-22 until 2004-10-25	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach Eden Bungalows turned out to be a pleasantly small-scale development. Our bungalow was very clean and comfortable, and the veranda facing the well-kept grounds was a relaxing place to enjoy a beer. We found the owners and staff at Eden relaxed and friendly, and this too made for an enjoyable stay. The only thing I would have wished for was a bigger pool, but that probably comes with the scale of the development. Recommended.
Sylvie HENRY 2004-08-09 until 2004-08-13	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach I had a deluxe bungalow. The room was very nice room and originally decorated. I enjoyed the original bathroom with open sky and palm tree. The bungalow is situated in a quiet exotic garden and has a small nice swimming pool. A lot of french people at the bar and very lively animation. I however missed the sea view as the hotel is on the other side of the road.Possibility to use the beach of the opposite hotel (Lodge).
Lars and Ulla Gjedde 2004-02-01 until 2004-02-04	Eden Bungalows, Bophut Beach We arrived late and tired in the evening to Eden. We we were expected and all was set up for us and our 3 children. Rooms, swimmingpool and breakfast was excellent. The owner Gerald and his staff were professional in all kinds. We can highly recommend Eden Bungalows if you want value for your money.	Fast and easy. No problems at all.
