Great location - many restaurants nearby (short ride with a scooter), good coworking space next door. Free snacks and drinks provided. Did check-in an hour earlier that was much appreciated. Also, they rent scooters at the reception!

Smell of mold in the room. Bathrooms could do an upgrade. I did not like the restaurant food, but tried only one dish so can’t really judge too much. Lastly, when renting a scooter - take a good video of any dents and scratches, they do check and inspect carefully upon returning. There was a scratch I had to show on a video that it was there before…

The rooms were a nice size and we loved all the little details that made our arrival special. The resort offered free snacks when we first got there. Every day we received two bottles of water in glass bottles, which I loved. We got a better deal on our scooter rental than we would have at other places. They were great organizing outings for us too. The food that came out of their little kitchen was also very fairly priced and so delicious. Many days we didn’t even leave our resort because everything was perfect there. We even had our own hammock on our porch and were visited by the cutest cats. If you don’t like cats, just don’t pet or feed them and they won’t come back (I was told by other tourists). But we fell in love with them. The resort also offered free paddle boards and we took advantage of this every day, paddling north to some great snorkeling places. The water is crystal clear and at this spot very shallow and warm, but just a little to the right or left it was very comfortable to swim in. The beach was small and very private, but you could walk from there all the way past zen beach (some of it in the shallow water) the pool had a view to the ocean, the bar was right above the beach and the people working there were fantastic. Very friendly, efficient and very helpful.

Bathroom was a bit outdated, but that’s the reason it is so fairly priced. We had all the comforts of an expensive resort but for way less money!

We had a really good time at Benjamin’s! Especially the staff made it so nice: they all are super friendly and will help you with every request. We rented a scooter and a car - both super quick and easy at the reception. I‘ve never experienced a room clean where they change the sheets (for me I don’t need it, but I want to say that it’s super clean). Minimart and some places for breakfast / lunch / dinner are close by - or you can eat at Benjamin‘s (we liked it very much, you can eat directly at the beach). Free kayaks, snorkeling equipment and snacks / water in front of your room available - we loved this offers!!

As it is a natural place with a lot of plants there is also wildlife: many mosquitoes, ants, bugs… For us no big deal. But especially if you have a problem with mosquitos this might be a issue. But they offer mosquito spray for free everywhere (in front of the rooms, the pool, the bar…). Public transport is unfortunately very expensive compared to other islands. No grab available. But if you‘re ok with renting a scooter or car, that’s the best way! :)

Just felt at home from the first night on. Stayed two weeks and didn’t want to leave. I can recommend the bungalows, there’s a little outdoor kitchen on the balcony, surrounded by a little jungle, just a few meters from the beach. The bungalows are small but absolutely nice with an eye for details, like pictures, romantic lights, an own beach bag and sarong, and the most comfortable bed with a double mattress I ever had in Thailand. The beach right in front is small and sometimes not there, but cozy to stay and the water was clear and beautiful to swim or walk to the little island in front. Just a few meters to walk and the beach gets wider, but I often just stayed there. Great plus; the owners and all people working there from the bar to the cleaning were super friendly.

Nothing

We had a fantastic stay. The staff is absolutely great. Very helpful and extremely kind. The guys at the bar are the sweetest and make fantastic coffee. The property is maintained super well, very clean and everything in good condition. The location is fantastic at a small little beach. You need to be comfortable to ride a motorbike though to get around. The beach is very small and if you want some options for food you need to bike 5 mins. The restaurant at Benjamin’s hut makes great food as well.

Everything was great but be aware that the beach only exists during low tide in the afternoon.

The staff was amazing, helpful, always smiling and willing to help. The place itself is gorgeous, not fancy but for us it was beautiful, the bar and the beach are just perfect. You can see beautiful sunsets with a nice cold drink and great music. The prices on the bar of drinks and food were really good and the food was excellent! And we tried many things! The room was cozy and the landscape outside and decorations using nature are incredible. This is not a fancy hotel, but it is a great place to experience the kho phangan vibes. So recommend!

The wifi could be better, disconnects some times The water pressure can be better

Every time I stepped through the gate it was like entering an oasis. My room was simple but very comfortable, a balcony to dry wet clothes, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. A truly beautiful garden (more of a tropical forest) and I enjoyed the pool, restaurant and beach. Truly a very magical place. The staff were very helpful and assisted me to book a snorkelling and kayak day trip and my taxi and boat back to Samui. There's some great restaurants, massage places and scooter rental all within a few minutes walk.

Hated leaving, but all good things come to an end.

This place is close to all my favorite restaurants on the west side ( not walkable) also next door to a yoga resort that has different classes. Even if you only want to attend one session ( walkable) The restaurant is very good. The beach is tiny but it has such a beautiful sunset. Bungalows are clean with a jungle vibe. You can rent car or motorcycle at the property. There is a small pool in case you have kids but the water is shallow on this side so it’s perfect for family with kids. The fact that you have complimentary water every day is a positive point

Didn’t want to leave

Benjamin’s Hut has been our favorite place to stay in 6 weeks of traveling Asia. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, functionality and beautiful relaxed tropical vibes. The renovated bungalows have a lot of attention to detail that we haven’t seen in other places - they provide a microwave and some bowls, plates, etc, a hammock and fan on the verandah, screening foliage for part privacy, a clothes line, etc Inside the bed is super comfy, there is fan as well as aircon, two heads on the shower…and best of all the huts are right on a super beautiful beach. Their cafe is also really well priced and serves great food, too. We can’t recommend Benjamin’s Hut enough. Do yourself a favor and stay there.

There was nothing not to like.
