Adrian love 2008-05-06 until 2008-05-09	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut B1 is like living out a Hemmingway novel tucked away in BoPhut-Koh Samui. Its close to probably the best italian anywhere Baia and a great boulangerie with daily made pastries. The view is amazing.
Sue Waterman 2008-03-22 until 2008-03-25	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Excellent small hotel on Bo Phat beach -rooms are even nicer than web site shows! We had one of the top floor suites [Amber] with a totally private terrace and a view straight out over the beach & ocean below - just gorgeous. Its at the quiet end of Bo Phut beach, so you can easily walk to the restaurants, but don t have any problems with noise. Staff are very helpful & there s free internet if you want to catch up on email. Breakfast is included at one of two local restaurants - Carpe Diem is the better of the two, but be warned they charge for coffee refills We were sad to leave but had a flight to catch - several guests who were there when we were extended their stays they liked it so much...	Great
Finn Aspelund 2008-03-14 until 2008-03-22	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Very nice hotel and friendly staff! We stayed for one week and were happy to be on BohPuht and not on Chaweng Beach where we used to stay in the beginning of the century. That was a shock! Canary Ilands with crowded charter guests (most of them Swedish..) Fishermen s Village is what Chaweng Beach was 5 - 6 years ago. Better to go to Ao Nang or Koh Lanta - but if you stay in Koh Samui -- avoid Chaweng Beach and book for B1!
McLean 2008-03-09 until 2008-03-20	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut We have just spent the most wonderful 10 days at B1 - from the moment we arrived and were collected at the airport to the time we left the friendliness of the staff was beyond reproach. The apartments were spotless and spacious and the setting just beautiful. Kanya especially is a huge asset to B1 as is her husband who drove us around the island and showed us all the places of interest. My only criticism would be the breakfast arrangement which they have with two neighbouring hotels - it is extremely repetitive and varies (we think) on how the staff feel some days we got a decent plate of fruit - another it looked like it was leftovers! Apart from that our stay was fantastic and we will no doubt return in the next few years. Thankyou all for a wonderful time.	Excellent!
McLean 2008-03-09 until 2008-03-20	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut We have just spent the most wonderful 10 days at B1 - the staff are fantastic and extremely helpful. They really cannot do enough for you. The rooms are large and very clean - we stayed on the ground floor in the family suite - the view from the room was fantastic first thing in the morning. We also spent many evenings just outside the room drinking our tipple and just admiring the view. The beach is a little stoney as is the sea - when the tide is out it is almost impossible to swim but location made up for this. The restaurants are all good never had a bad meal all the time we were there. We must just say a huge thankyou to Kanya and her husband who both could not do enough for us - we hired the mini bus and Kanya s husband drove us around the island showing us all the various attractions - Francesco and Sureeva you have an absolute gem of a place - we promise to return in a few years time : Thankyou for a fantastic and peaceful holiday. Claudia Brian Caroline & Ray.

Nevala Tarja 2008-02-02 until 2008-02-11	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut We had a fine relaxing holiday at Koh Samui s Bophut beach. We stayed at B1 Villa et Spa. Very nice place, large clean suites. We stayed 6 nights at Sapphire suite and 3 nights at Alnitak. Both very nice. The views excellent and beach nice also. Good value for money. Friendly staff. Sailing the catamarane great. Location near the Fisherman village good. We should go there again if we go to Koh Samui.	No problem with booking. We have used sawadee.com before and will use it in the future also.
Melanie Pollard 2008-01-25 until 2008-01-28	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Absolutely wonderful hotel! Enjoyed the town of Bo Phut and all it had to offer. Very helpful service from staff. Extremely clean and quite relaxing. Would love to go back!	Excellent
Keith Cooper 2008-01-10 until 2008-01-15	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut We were delighted with the Hotel The rooms were very spacious with everything you could want.The view from our balcony of the sea and little islands was perfect.Staff were all very friendly. We found the location to have all we wanted with lovely restaurants on the sea front.	No problems whatsoever. They made it all so easy.
Line Ødegaard 2007-12-27 until 2008-01-02	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Very nice hotell, very nice hosts, close to the beach and close to good restaurants.
Naozer Nariman 2007-12-26 until 2008-01-02	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Hats off to Suveera & Franchesco of B1 Villa & Spa. Excelent hotel. We stayed in the Anilam Suite. Although the B/F was served at the addjoining hotel it dint make much of a diffrence. The staff is extreamly helpful n friendly. The next time we go to Samui.. ill only stay at B1.	Sawadee is super.
WU Ho Tong 2007-12-09 until 2007-12-12	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Excellent. Staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommend the penthouse suites which offer excellent sea view from the balcony. Would suggest to the management to offer electric kettle in all rooms.	Efficient service via Sawadee.com
RUNE KENNETH SVENDSRUD 2007-12-02 until 2007-12-09	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Nice hotel with very large and nice room. People work at hotel charming oan warm, specially Ell who guide us around the island. The place around hotel is rather quiet, but have nice places to eat. Not much to see in walking distance, but can travel by car og bike to Chaweng in 15 minutes for more fun if you like party with music and drinks. Nice view from all rooms at hotel looking at sandy beach/water. Can bath there, but better places 5-10 minutes walk. Maybe not book for long time first time. Better see if Fisherman Village/Bophut is to quit first. The hotel wanted rest-paiment for all week in front when we came, maybe to secure we not change place in midway ? All in all: Very nice hotel 8 of 10 from me.	Efficient and easy to use. No problem to use.
Kogilavanar 2007-11-28 until 2007-12-02	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Clean and decent standard suite and nice panoramic sea view. Walking distance to everything and the staffs were all extremely friendly and excellent with advice on where to go and what to see. Overall, nice experience!	Getting swift respond from the management.
Michael E. Imboden 2007-11-26 until 2007-11-30	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Incredible location right on the beach. Immaculate room. Great amenities, clean and comfortable. Huge shower. Very quiet. Internet in the room is a plus for those who need to work or just check emails. Great value for the price.	Fast with great communication. Reliable. Flawless booking. No problems what-so-ever.
Alan Gonzalez 2007-11-23 until 2007-11-30	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Quite simply an exceptional stay in a wonderfully appointed Hotel. The Mintaka suite was large and roomy with huge bathroom and the service and reception staff could not have been better. The location for my girlfriend and I was perfect away from the tacky excesses of Chaweng, the surrounding Fisherman s Village had a real sense of Euro chic about it....I cannot believe that anyone could fail to be impressed by this wonderful place..Will definitely be returning next year	100% as always
David B. Haden 2007-11-17 until 2007-11-22	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut A superb establishment, with beautiful rooms, views and decoration. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our stay was a wonderful experience and I would love to stay at B1 again in the future.	Very efficient as ever. Thanks.
Simon Mark Richard Tiller 2007-10-27 until 2007-10-30	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Fantastic Family Suite. Best feature by far..?, a urinal in the en-suite!!Our lad had his own entrance, so didn t bother us coming back late! Very clean rooms, very attentive staff. Don t be put off by lack of dining room. Breakfast in the hotel next door was fine, and from our room, a slow walk there took literally 15 seconds! Views really good, great to wake up to see the sea. Beach not great though, right next to a small river estuary, so a little cold and cloudy. A plethora of bars and restaurants close by, and if you forget your DJ, worry not; at least 3 tailor shops on the main street!? Would certainly stay again. Thanks to Suveera and all the staff. (Must also go to Frog & Gecko...!)	Does what it says on the tin. V good.
Carl Hubbard 2007-10-07 until 2007-10-10	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut My wife, daughter and I had a great stay at B1. Wonderful suite, nice little plunge pool to cool off after a swim and very friendly and helpful staff. Great location next to Fisherman s Village. The room rates were unbelievably cheap for the quality delivered. Thanks Suveera, Francesco and team!	No problems at all - very efficient.
Jessica Wilson 2007-08-19 until 2007-08-26	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut B1 Villa is a couple’s paradise!!! We stayed in 2 different rooms and they both had breathtaking views and gorgeous, huge rooms which also had great sitting areas. The staff are always available, 24/7 and extremely friendly. We had left the hotel to stay on another part of the island, only to return a couple hours later realising that the other options on the island did not live up to the same standards. B1 Villa is much more than one could ever expect, it is a perfect place and made our stay in paradise a dream come true.	Very efficiant and reliable, you can trust they will follow through on promises
YVONNE WATSON 2007-08-08 until 2007-08-14	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut A beautiful location right on beachfront in quiet spot but within a five minute walk of bars and super places to eat. We had the family suite which was spacious (including two king size beds and two bathrooms) and on the ground floor which was convenient for my 10 year old daughter to go out to the pool and beach. Cleaned thoroughly every day. Not suitable for swimming in sea due to sharp shingle but more suitable a couple minutes walk down the beach. The service was excellent with caring,friendly staff. Free pick up from airport was a great help. I will definately return to this hotel.	Fast and efficient.
Adrian Ricciotti 2007-07-18 until 2007-07-23	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Warm Hosts , personal and helpful staff, an idyllic fisherman s village. Suites that just feel good with stunning views overlooking Phangan. Very romantic ,the pool/jacuzzi refreshing...we toured the island by jeep,tanned on the beachfront in the afternoon and watched the sun glow over the coconut palms ..enjoyed fine food in the evening,...a gem of a place and we hope to return.	No problem. Recommended
Adrian Ricciotti 2007-07-18 until 2007-07-23	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut A unique experience,..well designed ,clean elegant suites with good showers and artful furniture. Personal, friendly and warm service,..have a chat to the simpatico hosts, they will share their experiences on what Samui has to offer. Bophut has charm and character unlike the rowdier places on samui,..but the crowds and crystal clear beaches are only 10min away by jeep ($20 AUD a day).The food we ate (tried four thai beachfront restaurants ) was delicious , served with style and honest pleasure! Highly Recommended and look forward to one day returning.	Excellent service !
THIRIET 2007-07-12 until 2007-07-14	B1 Villa & Spa, Bophut Little hotel with 8 or 9 appartments only . They are very big . Nice and modern with a little kitchen inside The pool is a bit little The breakfast is taken at the neighbouring hotel	very good
charlotte yorke 2007-04-11 until 2007-04-13	B1 Spa and Villa, Bophut Air con very noisy, breakfast v. good, good facilities, dvd in room, fridge, microwave. On lovely beach, good value.
Devere 2007-04-08 until 2007-04-10	B1 Spa and Villa, Bophut The B1 Spa and Villa is a perfect place to relax and unwind. The setting is lovely, the Fishernams village has the feling of a small European town, but has the delights of Thailand. The owner of the Villas Francesco is a very cool guy and has built B1 around principles of chilled ambiance and personal service. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. The staff are very helpful and very nice. I was a little worried about coming back to Samui as I had previously only stayed on Chawang and it was the busy Easter holiday. But B1 and Boport beach have really changed my view, it was very chilled. I will be returning and I highly recomend you stay here.. Oh and I forgot to montion, it is GREAT value for money, suite size rooms for half the price of standard rooms in a big resort up the beach!!	Awesome! So simple.. Well done Sawadee!
Jen Gleich 2007-03-01 until 2007-03-02	B1 Spa and Villa, Bophut YOU MUST STAY AT THIS HOTEL! This hotel is gorgeous, beautiful style with feng shui principles. the rooms are huge with gorgeous decor as well as huge bathrooms with the best showers and baths. The pools at the hotel are lovely as well as the grounds. Everything is kept spotless and perfect. The property sits in the area of Fisherman s Village which is a wonderfully authentic Thai fishing Village. The village also has great restaurants, Yoga, Organic juice bars and great Massage places. The beach is also lovely. B-1 Spa and Villa is the PERFECT place to be for a truly relaxing, amazing holiday. The owners are wonderful people as well and give personal attention to their guests. I higly recommend them to anyone.	wonderfully efficient...
Maria Tasola 2007-02-12 - 02-16, 2007 -02-26-03-04	B1 Spa and Villa, Bophut B1 is a fantastic place! It looks good on the website, in reality it´s even better. A most beautiful villa with huge, very comfortable suites, planned according to Feng Shui principles. Very luxurious bathrooms with rain showers, beautiful furniture in the rooms, comfortable beds, CD player. And a georgious seaview ... Everything kept very clean. Nice pools, a floatation tank (an amazing experience) a very relaxing atmosphere. Me and my family (2 adults and 2 children 8 and 11) felt like home in a very positive way. Francesco and Suveera, the owners, were very nice, always ready to help and give advise about whatever we wanted to ask about. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. And then there is the sailing... A perfect environment for sailing, a big bay, steady winds, trimarans easy to sail, great fun! We stayed in B1 for 10 nights. We started there and went back again after a tour to Koh Phangan. We would have stayed longer hadn´t it been fully booked. Actually I can´t find anything that I would have liked to be different. We would absolutely go back! And of course recommend it to anybody who wants a luxurious suite in a peaceful beautiful surrounding. Thank You again for a wonderful time!	Very good, no problem at all
lynne jean day 2006-12-28 until 2006-12-29	B1 Spa and Villa, Bophut Delightful up market boutique hotel with delightful suites. Spa facilities excellent and location ideal for good restaurants and shopping. Friendly personal service I would recommend it to anyone and will return	I have been booking with SWADEE for the past 3 years for all my holidays in Thailand and find the service very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended
Neil ridgeway 2006-12-20 until 2006-12-31	B1 Spa and Villa, Bophut me and my girlfriend had a fantastic time at the b1 and couldnt really fault the place.We stayed in room 1 which is the blue one on the photos.It was very spacious and the staff were exellent.Great location in the fishermans village and not too far away from chewang in a taxi.Will go back again no bother.	exellent
Moca Marius 2006-12-06 until 2006-12-10	B1 Spa and Villa, Bophut Nice and big rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Good view, quiet and relaxing. You will have the unpleasant surprise to notice that the hotel is not on the map of Koh Samui, and no taxi driver will know his location. The included breakfast has a lot of room for improvement as well... I would recommended this hotel for those who are looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.	Very good!
Dharm jathol 2006-11-04 until 2006-11-06	B1 Spa and Villa, Bophut The hotel was really nice, the location was excellent right in front of the beach. This hotel is ideal for couples or for honeymoon purposes. My only recomendation is that not to book any taxi s, trips, excursions via the hotel or management since I later found out that I was being overcharged, I would recommend to local agents and taxi firms for cheaper prices. Other than that our trip was great.	The booking service was great however once you have booked I found that their was no cancelling options and didn t know how to go abouts cancelling. anyhow its a great site for info and hotel booking purposes. Many Thanks Dharm
