It’s rare to find a host like Cha—someone who can truly transform your holiday with their positivity and kindness. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel at home, always ready to help with anything (booking a boat transfer/taxi etc) She’s fun to talk to and makes you want to extend your stay—or even return to the island just to visit again! Beautiful bungalows surrounded by nature, with the soothing sounds of birds. Despite being a light sleeper, I honestly didn’t mind the music from the nearby mosque—it even added to the charm of the place. To explore the island fully, I highly recommend renting a motorbike. Cha provides great bikes no hassle, at a good price and delivers them in minutes! We originally booked for two nights but loved it so much that we extended. The only available bungalow was slightly more expensive, but it was well worth it: - Brand new with a fully equipped kitchen (we didn’t use it—Thai food is too good!). - Strong AC for a cool and comfortable sleep. - Higher location, meaning more breeze, a lovely porch, and an even better view. - I even slept through the morning mosque music! If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with an amazing host, this is the place to be!

Very nice, cosy bungalows! With amazing terrace and amenities that u dont expect for the price/location. I dont ride motorbike or scooter so I was worrying if I was too far from beaches. Its quite flat island, i managed to cyrcle over it with single speed bicycle. Island has in total max 10 ups/downs where u can push it manually max for 1-2 min. You can rent bicycle from nearby shop (I was amazed that they dont lock bicycles on the island...). You can also reach beach/restaurants with 15-25 min walking. Taxies are quite affordable too 3-5 EUR (from Pier)

Of course lots of flies and insects as expected due to the location. However beds have mosquito net that was giving me peace of mind during sleep.

This was my favourite spot I stayed in Thailand! If heaven was somewhere in my mind, this cute little bungalow would have been it. I see why all the reviews rave about these bungalows! The owner, Cha was so sweet. For 45 baht she brought me local breakfast, and organised a taxi driver to take me around the island (I don't drive a scooter), and organised a boat tour for me. I'll be back!!!

The location was a little bit hard to reach and taxis added up, but this spot made up for it!! The bed was a little hard, and the jungle noises/call to prayer were a bit loud, but this didn't take away from the experience at all for me!

Cha was just as nice as everyone said she would be. Very kind, helpful and generous lady. She helped me with transfers, and offered to teach me how to ride a bike. She chatted with me and even gave me a small coin purse when I left. She even gave me a lift nearby when she realised I couldn't drive. It is easy to get a taxi for 100 baht from the pier to the accommodation. You can rent a scooter to get around but the beach and some restaurants are within a 10 minute walk. There is a lovely massage place nearby too. You are in a rural location, near a mosque and can hear geckos, insects, birds and the call to prayer which is very relaxing. There is no air conditioning but when I visited in Feb this was fine with just using a fan. But I was travelling solo so if two were in the room it might be more challenging. The price was by far and away the most affordable option I could find on the island. Cha even made me a Thai breakfast for 50 baht which was really delicious and healthy. There is not a lot to do on the island (at least without a scooter) so I spent my time lying on the beach, eating food at restaurants, getting a massage, doing yoga and mostly just reading my book. A real break away from life. Oh but there is WiFi which I was very surprised by!

As long as you know that this option is rural with no AC then you can be prepared for a great stay.

Comfy big bed, beautiful budget bungalow, incredible host, effective mosquito net and LGBT+ friendly. Awesome to have a fridge in the bungalows too! The bungalows are private and in a beautifully quiet part of the island. Your host, Cha is the kindest and loveliest soul who is happy to help with taxis, scooters and what not. Each day you’ll get your bins emptied and a new loo paper. These bungalows are rustic, and good value for money - a delightful stay. The neighbouring mosque also means you will hear the call to prayer throughout the day and early morning.

Nothing we didn’t like at all - fyi a scooter is essential to get around!

The bungalows are amazing! Very clean, well equipped with mosquito net over the bed, fan, fridge, dishes such as cups, plates bowls and cutlery etc, we also got a big container of clean drinking water with a pump so we could fill up our bottles. Cha is wonderful, so kind, welcoming and accommodating. She organised a taxi for us, visited us each day to check if we needed anything and was very helpful. She also accommodated a later check out at short notice due to our ferry time. The location is great, away from the busy part of the main part of the island but still close enough to easily walk to get food or scooter further away. It was nice to wake up to sounds of the jungle with birds. I would definitely stay here again when I come back to Koh Yao Noi, we had a wonderful experience.

Nothing.

The accommodation we stayed in was comfortable and big enough with bathroom facilities, albeit quite basic. However, the landlady was extremely helpful, kind and pleasant. She had broken English, but did everything to make our stay pleasant. One can rent a bike from her and there are some restaurants about 10 minutes walk from her place. One of the piers is also very close to her place (same distance than restaurants).

We chose the rooms with fans only and the room was rather warm during the night, but not so much that it would stop us sleeping.

Cha Bungalows are delightful. Six bungalows set in their own beautiful gardens just 10 minutes walk to Thakhao Pier and restaurants. We stayed for three weeks in the Delux Bungalow with A/C and a hot shower. We had all we needed. Kettle, fridge some crockery and cutlery. Towels were changed regularly, and so was the bedding. Chai the host was wonderful. She made sure we had all we needed. Providing us with softer pillows and larger cups. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She arranged moped hire at a good daily rate. The only way to get around the island as there is no public transport or Tuk Tuks. And just a few taxis. She organised all our transfers to and from the boat to Phuket. She even organised two boat excursions to visit the beautiful little islands which surround Ko Yao Noi. She provided delicious food too for the trips.

There really is nothing to dislike. The bungalows are basic Thai Bungalows with authentic beautiful surroundings. Run by a lovely lady and her family. If you want luxury and chic then look elsewhere.

Best place to stay! Host was lovely, super kind and helpful with everything, made us feel like a really special family member! Spacious clean room, with everything you need, stunning garden with flowers and butterflies, quiet location next to a rubber plantation and still close to everything. We hired a scooter from the host for a really good price. we would love to stay here again! Thank you for your generousity and hospitality.

Cha Bungalows is THE BEST!! Everything is super-clean and beautiful. Aisha is the best host you could get as she goes out of her way to make everything as comfortable as possible for you. Nothing is too much trouble for her. We booked for 1 week and ended up staying the whole month. You won't get a better place to stay and a better host than at Cha Bungalows. We loved it there and will always come back here whenever we are in Koh Yao Noi. Thank you, Aisha and family for being so gracious and all of your efforts. You should be so proud of yourself and your establishment.🥰

Not Applicable. Everything was awesome.
