Mr Pong and his wife Enn are charming and engaging and pay unusual attention to helping you, making you feel safe and welcome and their Bungalows are extremely good value for money. providing so many detailed extras at this price range is literally unheard of so we felt really lucky to find the accommodation. convenient and close to the beach, surrounded by wonderful nature and away from noise and dirt. It’s a rustic environment but our bungalow was considered, spacious, so clean and comfortable and our hosts were very generous!

The location is only convenient if you have a moped or are prepared to hail taxis. this isn’t a criticism, more just helpful to know. There are a few cats which I wasn’t keen on but I told Mr Pong and he kept them away.

This was one of our favourite places we stayed during our travels across Thailand! We spent 10 days here and we loved it. The room is very clean and comfortable and the bed was amazing, we slept so well! The location was ideal for us, it was a bit out of the main area but was a short scooter ride away from the beach and local shops. Plus the whole island was really accessible from here. The longest drive we did was 20 minutes to the very top of the island. There are also a handful of restaurants and cafes within walking distance of BaanPhong which was great. Our favourite thing about staying here was Mr Phong, his family, and the cats! Mr Phong and his family were always available if there were any issues and we loved chatting with them whenever we arrived back to our room. Because we stayed over Christmas, many of the scooter rental places were sold out, but when we found a place Mrs Phong drove us to collect our scooter which was so lovely. Absolutely recommend this place for a comfortable and relaxing stay on Koh Lanta!

We had a fantastic stay! The location is peaceful, surrounded by beautiful nature and home to many stunning birds, making it a true delight for nature lovers. The bungalows are cozy and spotlessly clean, with daily housekeeping available upon request (a big plus!) and equipped with air conditioning, ensuring a very comfortable stay. They are also super organized with a fridge, kettle, toaster, and two small bottles of water provided daily, a thoughtful touch. The property is run by a lovely couple, Mr. Phong and Ann, who work tirelessly to take care of their guests. Ann is incredibly welcoming, always smiling, and a wonderful cook. Breakfast is a highlight (don’t miss the pancakes and French toast!), and the homemade dinners are delicious and reasonably priced. Mr. Phong is always available and ready to assist with any request. The location was perfect for us. We loved staying in an authentic, natural setting, just 2 km (a quick 3-minute scooter ride) from the nearest beaches with beautiful sunsets and plenty of charming little bars and restaurants. It’s also an excellent base for exploring the southern beaches, which are more remote and stunning, as well as for a walk in the Old Town. Notes for travelers: Transport: A scooter is essential for getting around. The scooters provided are new and reliable, though not the cheapest option. Wi-Fi: The connection is good (80–90 Mbps). We were able to work remotely, including video calls, though it was occasionally a bit slow. What truly sets this place apart is the warm hospitality of Mr. Phong and Ann and the peaceful, natural setting. It’s a perfect choice for those seeking an authentic and relaxing experience. The spotless, well-equipped bungalows ensure a worry-free stay.

Very nice Breakfast, great service and super lovely Hosts

For anyone researching where to stay in Koh Lanta its like this; unless you are a middle class family of 5 you are very more than likely to rent a scooter to explore the island. With that said, there is no reason why you would not stay here. It is away from any main strip but not far when on a scooter. The accommodation is pretty new and modern. Each room comes with a tv, big fridge, a toaster and a kettle and free coffee. 7-11 is about 5 min scooter ride and you can basically buy food materials to cover your breakfast/lunch and or whatever. Beds are very comfortable and the AC is all working fine. The host, Mr Pong, is very welcoming and clearly cares greatly about all the finer details regarding your stay and will assist in any future planning. Like many other reviews left, ours was originally 2 nights and after those 2 nights and as I write this, we’re still here and will be for another 3 nights (total 1 week) which says alot. So if you’re put off by where it is, just think about it like this; there is a great likelihood you will rent a scooter anyway so you may as well just stay here where so many people have agree le that its a good spot.

This place is a dream. Honestly cannot say enough about this place it is so beautiful. If you like to relax and unwind this is the perfect place to do so. We got bungalow number 3 and sitting out side listening to the birds and in the forest was so relaxing you feel like ur in total paradise and It is located about 4 mins drive from Center/beach so would recommend a bike to get around mr phong is the owner and him and his wife will rent you a bike. They both are so nice and will help with anything you need… We had only booked 4 nights but extended our stay by another 4 nights and if possible would extend another 4 don’t miss this amazing stay. We will be back here 100%.

The landlors are very sweet, helpful and professional. The landlords helped for booking the tours, to drive to the center and also always at disposal when needed. The rooms are simple but clean and with all facilities needed (tv, fridge,AC, hairdryer).. You can book bikes and scooters, but biking in Koh Lanta requires a lot of trainings (hills are very tense). You can eat at their restaurant, the food is very good and price correct! There is a feel of home staying to this place.

I had to confront a snake going to my room andI found a frog in my room. Besides that all was perfect.

very peaceful property with friendly owner in a nice location. Rooms are very clean and well kept. A/C gets really cold

nothing

I went there to relax and I must say the place is perfect for that, really quiet and a lot of birds chirping. And if you want to cuddle with someone you could drive down to the beach (5 minutes with scooter) and find yourself a significant other or just cuddle with one of the many cats that are around the premises. The room is really clean, the bed is comfy and good hot water pressure, also the internet is phenomenal. I also really like the location because you were in the middle of the island. You could go anywhere on the island in 20 minutes with scooter. All you could need and more in a 5-minute drive. Beautiful beach, 7-Eleven, pharmacy, a lot of restaurants, massage parlors... Mr. Pong and his wife offer great service, whatever you want or need, they will take care of that. Need to rent a bike, easy. Laundry, done. Hungry? No problem, they will take care of that in their restaurant. You want to go to the elephant sanctuary or snorkeling or a boat trip or even at transport back to the airport/harbor? Mr. Pong takes care of that too

For me it was perfect. I like the location but without scooter would be hard so I would definitely recommend to rent a scooter

Very lovely place to stay. the owners are super kind and they want to help you with everything. breakfast and dinner are great here, the room is modern, clean and has all the facilities you need. they picked us up from the pier and brought us to the apartment, we rented a scooter via this stay, the main centre was less than 5 minutes away. we spent 6 nights here and we could have easily stayed longer, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this place!

there was nothing we didn't like. everything was super clean and comfortable.
