Diana Hug 2008-03-24 until 2008-04-03	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Cactus Bungalow ist eine sehr saubere und schoene kleine Anlage. Der Deluxe Bungalow ist zu empfehlen, auch wenn die Dusche (Wasserdruck) etwas zu wuenschen uebrig laesst. Das Essen ist super, hab nirgens anders so gut gegessen wie dort. Die Naehe zum Fishermans Village ist gut zu Fuss zu erreichen. Gesamtes Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Kann die Anlage nur weiter empfehlen.	Problemlos und schnell. Werde wieder hier buchen.
Alex Banks 2008-03-18 until 2008-03-20	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach A very nice beachfront place with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff were all very friendly and the food in the restaurant was great. Recommended.	Easy and quick.
Ekaterina Gradova 2008-02-28 until 2008-03-10	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Wonderful experience with Cactus. Best place for relaxed, easy going vacation. Owner Jeff and enitre team have added on to our experience. Polite, friendly they made us feel like home. We had wonderful sea view bungalow = simple, but with everything that you may need.Massage done directly on the beech, by the bungalow.It is definately good value for money. We had a time of our life with Cactus Bungalow and will definately be back and recommend this little gateway to our family and friends	Fast, reliable,will definatelz book again with Sawadee.
Bousquet Marianne 2008-02-05 until 2008-02-07	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Very nice Hotel. We planned to stay 2 nights and we stayed 6! : location is perfect (on the beach) - not completely easy to find the first time- the service is great: a lot of attention and nice meals at the restaurant. A great adress to recommand.	Very good booking service.
Jana steinhagen 2008-01-13 until 2008-01-15	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach The staff are friendly and made us smile. They didn t mind helping any way they could. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the food is good. They do the best khao tom moo in the gulf of Siam!	would use again
LAGEMANN Peter 2007-11-20 until 2007-11-25	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach poor.. on arrival nothing worked, the local environment was dirty. Ther restaurant was closed. the beach and the terrace was occupied with broken chairs etc...the published sea-view occupied by a broken massage-salon. We booked 5 nights, but left after the first night, so depressive was the environment.	very good
Andy 2007-10-14 until 2007-10-19	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Very good for price, helpful & friendly. Wonderful beach massage is next to the bar and open air beachside restaurant. The double rooms with a/c are good size and comfortable. A/c worked well but plumbing is not the best.	Fast and straightforward, went without a hitch.
Thilo Weigel 2007-08-10 until 2007-08-15	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Cactus Bungalow is a very nice place to stay on koh samui. the Bungalows have a good size and are desingend really nice. the personal is very very friendly und the food ist great. We would definetly come back.
Russell 2007-08-06 until 2007-08-14	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach We stayed in the allegedly deluxe bungalow for 8 nights. I say allegdly, because there was really nothing deluxe about it. The bathroom in particular was just not clean. There was grime and dust around the bathroom, the toilet bowl was stained, and the whole place was generally not clean. The bungalow was cleaned on request every day (but you do have to request it), but the cleaning was superficial. This place is certainly not worth the rates they charge.	Excellent - prompt and correct.
Welling 2007-08-01 until 2007-08-07	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach The cactus bungalow complex is a nice, relaxing resort . the bungalows are located at ( for us) nicest beach , bo phut and here even in a quiet area .The french owner is very friendly. The wodden bar with good chill out music invited for a sundowner. all ín all.....just recommandable	Perfect
FRANCINE 2007-07-29 until 2007-08-13	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach hotel sympa, endroit très joli, ambiance cool, mais le deluxe ne correspond a rien (à part l air conditionné) chambre vieille à rénover il y a vraiment de quoi faire!.. cela pourrait être tellement accueillant avec un peu de bonne volonté et quelques idées, salle de bain sale, pas de verre a dent, pas de petit savon, eau chaude au compte goutte quand cela veut bien fonctionner!... chambre faite uniquement sur demande,les linges de bain sentent mauvais vraiment trop cher pour ce qui est offert, même le minimum n y est pas LA PROPRETE !.... dommage MAIS MALGRE CELA CE FUT DE MERVEILLEUSES VACANCES.	parfait
Lorraine Nunez 2007-04-02 until 2007-04-07	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach The bungalows are spacious and clean. The service is excellent. Staff are really helpful, nothing is too much trouble and the owner is a lovely frenchman who is welcoming and funny. The food is excellent and I would highly recommend the barracuda and pad thai. We had a brilliant time here and came back for a second visit. Air con is a must and room 1 is the best in the place and opens up onto the beach. The bunglaows are on the beach and are very close to shops and loads of other restaurants. I would highly recomment staying here!!	Very easy to book , efficient service
Ojeda Yanina 2007-02-24 until 2007-03-08	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Salut everybody! We have had an excellent time at Cactus. Personal is friendly and helpful, bungalow deluxe is aestetic and clean, close to the beach, the food is exquisite. We truly have enjoyed the familial atmosphere. Á bientôt	Fast, easy and cooperative! Thanks
Terra 2007-02-13 until 2007-02-17	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Booked for four nights stayed two would have left sooner but, I couldn t find a place o stay. The sheets were filthy, the room muggy, dusty, and had a foul smell. Linens were not even clean got some kind of bed bug eating me up the two nights I was there. Staff was not friendly or accomodating in fixing the room. The floor, ceiling, and fan all needed to be dusted, wiped down. The entire bathroom smelled of sewage and it was noisy in the evening. I loved Samui and would definitley go back but, I will never stay at Cactus Bungalow ever again.
Chevalley Steeve 2007-01-18 until 2007-01-31	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Bonjour, Nous avons passer de très bons moments au cactus bungalows, ambiance très familiales, merci aux personnels ! salutations.
Tracey Gilbert 2006-12-29 until 2007-01-05	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Good, clean bungalows and great value for money. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The reception/bar and restaurant are right on the beach front, where there always seemed to be a couple of spare sun beds waiting for us. Also a Thai Beach massage tent is right next door with great staff and wonderful prices. Cactus Bungalows are in quieter Bophut -you can walk along the beach into Fishermans Village and it s only a short taxi ride to Big Buddha Beach or Chaweng. If you re looking for a friendly quieter environment with easy access to beaches, bars and restarants then Cactus is a winderful choice.	easy booking service
neil ward 2006-12-17 until 2006-12-22	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach stayed here for 5 nights xmas 2006, basic but friendly. unfortunately the monsoon season was late and that ruined the beach experience but you can see that it s awesome when weather is nice. bit of scare when you get off you taxi to walk down the muddy path but very pretty when you get to the resort. food was very good and cheap. Fishermans village is lovely much nicer that Chaweng which we found to be far too Ibizaish?!	no problem
Andy Waterson 2006-12-10 until 2006-12-13	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach The cactus rooms are inpexpensive... but you get what you pay for. Rooms could do with a paint and new matress & pillows (dont put the light on helps). Rooms are not cleaned during stay and neither are towels provided. However, location is great and atmosphere at Cactus is best on beach. very laid back, good food and friendly. If want some luxury stay next door, for twice the price you will get hot showers, towels clean rooms, comfortable beds, mini bar, pool etc... but you will still end up in the Catus to eat and drink.	Excelllent
Andrew White 2006-12-05 until 2006-12-08	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Cactus was really cool bungalows with a restaurant and bar right on the beach. Some security issues though, we had 2 cameras and an ipod stolen from our (locked!) rooms during a blackout. Keep your stuff locked - the place doesn t have the security of a more expensive resort.	We initially requested 2 twin rooms, were told they only had one free for the times we wanted, I repeated our request through reply email and were told that there were 2 twin rooms free, and booked those. Arrived at the bungalow to find they didn t have twin rooms free so were put in doubles for the first night.
R.T. 2006-12-03 until 2006-12-04	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Hotel was supposed to pick me up at the airport. After 45 min and 2 phone calls, no one showed up, so I had to take a taxi. The taxi driver did not know where it was so it took far too long to get there. Once I arrived, they blamed me for not being at the airport! Plus, I could not lock the windows in the bungalow, so I did not feel safe. I immediately returned the key and left.	Had to phone them 2 times from the airport. Even then, no one came to pick me up.
ROSSI 2006-10-12 until 2006-10-14	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Sans problèmes, agréable,	facile ,
Sally Wong 2006-09-10 until 2006-09-15	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Cactus Bungalow is a great place.Rooms are clean,very comfortable.All staff are very very friendly and the environment is very beautiful and placid.The Thai food and breakfast are very great. I will definitely stay here again.	Easy to use,fast
Marcus Haub 2006-08-31 until 2006-09-13	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach I was there for two weeks and it is a beautiful place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Best wishes to the staff and I hope we will see you next year again.	perfect and best booking service on the Internet.
Fabio Sgro 2006-08-04 until 2006-08-06	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Cactus is a very nice place on bophut beach, very calm and relaxing . French management gives the place a good mixture between thai style and european expectations. The Room is exactly what you can see on the website. There s also a good restaurant on the beach. Good and nice service! I ll be back. We decided to stay one more night.	Ok, no problem at all
reni nuraini 2006-06-20 until 2006-06-22	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach this place also great for traveling in budget. just cant have warm water quickly, service was nice. food was great, and the beach was awesome , clean sand and good view.	still number one ...will use this site again next year..
Katherine 2006-04-16 until 2006-04-20	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach We had a great time at Cactus. Very comfortable accommodation & a brilliant location right on the beach. I d recommend the deluxe bungalows with air-con & TV! Cactus restaurant serves great food at resonable prices and the massage place on the beach right by the apartments is fantastic! Big thumbs up for a chilled out few days in a quieter part of the island but close to the livelier areas.	The booking service was prompt & everything worked out well
leif widen 2006-01-26 until 2006-02-15	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach We stayed three weeks and like´d it very much.Nice personal and outstanding view and a nice beach.But we would have like´d to have the bungalows clean´d more oftened.The beds were a little bit hard and we missed refridgerators.But after all we are satisfaid with our holiday at Cactus.	Very good
Simone Bunnenberg 2005-08-31 until 2005-09-09	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach we stayed for only 2 hours, because the bungalows were very, very simple( we booked and paid deluxe!!!), in front of our bungalow we had the rubbish from the kitchen and the boss was unfriendly and uninterested.We can t recommend the cactus bungalow! So we moved to Sandy Resort at Bophut beach and had a great time.	Vey easy, no problem.

Dr.Adam 2005-06-11 until 2005-06-18	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach What a wonderful place ! We have stayed at Cactus Bungalow 8 day´s and we have good memories of a pleasant holiday at Bophut Beach after 2 weeks backpacker excursions in the west of thailand. This peaceful atmosphere, friendly staff, and in a lovely place without noise was exactly what we wanted. The bungalow was with a/c, clean and for us very comfortable. We booked the nicest seeside-bungalow, about 12 steps from it to the beach, with a romantic veranda (you can take your seat under flowers in front to the blue-green water with a cup of “tee” and thinking …), no hotel accomodation can be better. We had a great time at the CACTUS Bungalows and look forward to going back someday. Result: Its a beautifully quiet & relaxing place and represents good value for money. Very recommendable !	No problems.
Christina 2005-03-06 until 2005-03-16	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach I booked the Beachfront Deluxe Bungalow and was disappointed about it.Deluxe included aircondition, a thin mattress on the floor, a bad shower,a lot of ant s around the mattress. The staff was very friendly and helpful.The Beach in front of the Bungalow was lovely and calm.	Excellent
Victoria H 2005-03-06 until 2005-03-08	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach OK, but have stayed in better for the price. Bathroom REALLY smelt of drains and had bare wires hanging out of the wall. We didn t have a proper matress, which is fine as long as the piece of foam is thick enough to dull the concrete floor underneath (it wasn t!). It wasn t the cleanest place we ve stayed in either (to put that into perspective we ve just arrived in Thailand after 5 months in India). But on the whole not bad for a couple of nights - honest!	Booking was really easy - would definately use again.
Tanya Millage 2005-02-22 until 2005-02-27	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach resort is just ok, but Thai staff are great. We stayed in the one bungalow on the beach front, and it had a great view, but was very sparsely decorated, (no table whatsoever). Problems encountered were that there are no screens on the bathroom vent holes, so bugs do come in; there is no housekeeping service of the room unless you leave your key with them, (they didn t tell us this when we checked in); and, they don t provide any free bottles of drinking water like everyone else does in Thailand.	booking was very prompt and detailed. We would definately use you guys again.
nathalie guillou 2005-02-05 until 2005-02-06	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach It was pretty good. Very nice restaurant and decoration. Great beach, Bo Phut. However, they didn t clean the rooms each day. And no safety deposit boxes (very annoying). Rooms (#10) farthest from the beach suck...right next to where the staff lives, noisy and messy. I would recommend for the price.	great
Aaron Payne 2004-11-29 until 2004-11-30	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Good value, sleepy location. What you see in the website is what you get plus a nice bar area. Good food, good staff but the bungalow bathrooms have open air gaps for bugs to invite themselves right in. A simple screen would fix this and I would gladly stay here again if they did so.	no problem
cedric komar 2004-11-10 until 2004-11-12	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Cactus bungalow has rudimentary but clean and nice rooms. Matelas, is directly on the floor and not of the top quality. We found it a bit hard and not super comfortable. Food are good and staff are nice.	works fine
Mike 2004-10-29 until 2004-11-18	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach The best ever!!!!!! Got an awesome time there.Jeff,Mao,Goi and the rest of the crew are very frindly, cool and relaxed. A highly recommended place for someone who searchs for a relaxed and cool place with great dudes!The rooms are clean and very nice. Also the food is one of the best on bophut. I go back next year for sure!!!!!!!!! Thanx for my great stay!!!!	no problems
CATBE 2004-10-08 until 2004-10-10	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach fine, cosy bungalow,fairly clean (our room has never been cleaned), kool staff, delicious and cheap food.
Lars 2004-10-05 until 2004-10-09 & 10-11/15	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach very fine, nice bungalow, friendly staff, simple but delicious food!!! we stayed first 4 nights and after visiting KohTao we stayed another four nights at cactus!	fast - no problems
John Callan 2004-09-24 until 2004-10-10	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Stayed there for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. This place had a nice, friendly, chilled out athmosphere that my girlfriend and I loved. The staff and owners were friendly and welcoming.	No problems
Marco Mollwitz 2004-09-21 until 2004-09-26	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Very nice resort and for sure coolest and friendliest staff in samui. New and clean bungalows. Hope to be there next time again.	no problems
Martin Traube 2004-08-11 until 2004-08-18	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Great place with very friendly crew. Bophut is probably one of the few places left on Samui that is not totally overdevelopped...though also here the bungalowas are a bit crammed along the beach front...	worked out very well - good service
Popiolek Tobias, Müller Catrin 2004-08-07 until 2004-08-24	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Absolutely recommendable! We booked for 3 nights and finally stayed for more than 2 weeks! Cactus is a great place to stay with a very relaxed and familiar atmosphere, comfortable, cosy & clean bungalows, excellent thai food (best ever had) and a very attentive and friendly service! We will definitely return.	Quick, easy & reliable
Rebner Ingo 2004-08-06 until 2004-08-18	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach A resort we absolutly would recommend to friends (and to everybody else). the atmosphere is relaxed and family-like, the bungalows are well designed and colourful, the restaurant offers delicious food. Nice bar with good music. Not to forget the friendly staff - thanks to jeff, nin and everybody else in the crew!	everything worked pretty well
Andre raymaekers 2004-07-20 until 2004-08-02	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Great place to stay, the accommodation is nice and very well kept. The food served in the restaurant is excellent.	Picco bello
Raymaekers Andre 2004-07-20 until 2004-08-02	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Nice and very well kept accomodation. Restaurant is worth visiting, the service and food were excellent.
Mr. Andres Nuudi 2004-07-19 until 2004-07-21	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Not recomended! No fridge/mini-bar in the deluxe bungalows. No cleaning during the stay, nowhere to hang towels, no safe in room or deposit in reception. Problems with check-out.	Good booking service!
Sebastian Patzier 2004-06-28 until 2004-07-19	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach Really nice place I had a Fan Bungallow and must recomment to rent an AC if you are not able to treat the 45°C what the bungallow has after a day ... Really kind people there - everytime again ;-) special thanks to Koy, Mon , Nin and the the three angels from the kittchen	fast , easy , sure next time again
Suzy Getley 2004-06-26 until 2004-06-28	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach We would recommend the Cactus Bungalows to anyone wanting to get away from it all for a bit of relaxation. The beach was clean, wonderful and deserted. the bungalows themselves were clean and comfortable, exactly as promised. We stayed in the reasonable fan bungalows but the a/c ones looked wonderful too for anyone looking for a bit more luxury. Friendly efficient staff, a wonderful restaurant serving delicious food and a lovely bar. Couldnt be better	No problems, quick, efficient and trustworthy
Ursula Walshe 2004-06-18 until 2004-06-20	Cactus Bungalow, Bophut Beach The staff were exteremely friendly and helpful the food was delicious and the beach was beautiful! We booked 2 nights in Cactus and ended up stayin for 5!
