Do not book this property. It is infested with cockroaches and you will not get a refund. Expedia is to blame because they see the bad reviews but still keep this accommodation on their website. It’s not a hotel and it most definitely is not a hotel. It’s rooms on the beach that are in a very bad state of disrepair. Kamala beach is beautiful and the accommodation is in the best area of Kamala beach. But probably the worst accommodation in Thailand. Staff we absolutely lovely and helpful. This is a very honest review.

The Benjamin “resort” is a hostel. Please only book this if you are looking for the most basic accommodation. It is in an extreme state of disrepair, however the staff keep the rooms as clean as they can & it is not dirty. The staff are very friendly. The location is right on Kamala beach. There are great restaurants at the back and front of the hotel. It is the best location. However as stated above it is budget accommodation and expect to see cockroaches. You may ask why I ended up there. Well we booked an apartment’s on the Expedia app 1 year ago. It was transferred over to their sister company VRBO. The host did not turn up so we had to hurriedly find accommodation because Expedia left us stranded in Thailand. We had no where to go. We original booked 4* accommodation and we had to book quickly or else we would have been on the street. We didn’t read the reviews and we ended up at Benjamin. Every day people came in screaming at staff and demanding a refund. YOU WILL NOT BE GIVEN A REFUND. This is not the hotels fault. This is Expedias fault. Expedia can see the terrrible feedback on Benjamin but still keep the hotel on their site. They can easily remove but they rather keep it and gain profit from commission. Expedia has become a very unscrupulous company. I have used for over 20 years. After this trip I will never use Expedia again.

They are in the process of upgrading rooms so our room did not have a wardrobe or safe. While we were there they installed a shelf in the bathroom. We were on the forth floor and had a balcony/patio with a nice view of the beach. We would stay there again.

I booked a room with a sea view, what I got was a completely different room with a building wall view. This was very disappointing as it was my first time in Thailand and I wanted to wake up to a sea view. The room, bed, bathroom etc was all looking different from the pictures advertised. I want a full refund please.

Room, C6 has great views, everything is a bit run down however everything was functional. Clean enough for the age of the property, don’t expect high end and the value for money was great. We enjoyed our stay here!

FRAUD ALERT
This hotel is completely fraudulent. I am not sure how it is even still on Hotels.com. What you book is very likely not what you will receive. The two rooms that they show in their listing are actual rooms that are in the hotel, however it is unlikely you will be staying in them. Most of the rooms are nowhere near what you are on the site. Think you're getting a nice ocean view? Wrong, you get a view of the side of a building. Think you're getting a double bed to sleep in? Wrong, you're getting 2 twin beds pushed together. Think you're getting a non smoking room? Wrong, you're getting a room that smells like smoke and has a dirty ash tray. Think you're getting a refrigerator? You do, but it's unplugged and probably far away from an outlet. Think you're getting a cabinet for your clothes? Wrong, you're getting a cheap wire shelf . Think you're getting adequate blankets? Wrong. Think you're getting a safe? Wrong. Think you're getting a headboard? Wrong. Think you're getting daily complimentary water? Wrong. Think you're getting a refund after all of this? Wrong. They know that they're a scam, that's why all their rooms are non refundable. We were only there 5 days and in that time we witnessed 3 others try to refund their room because of these reasons. We also witnessed the owner literally choke one of their employees, right in front of us. So if you want all of this at a price $40 higher than it's worth, look no further!
