The staff was super friendly. Rooms super clean. We stayed for 4 days. The hotel has reopened 6 months ago due to covid, but everything looks in great shape. The restaurant and massage at the hotel are too overpriced, but you get a very nice breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place.

Rats in the room

The stay was overall good. The hotel and our room had a great view. Price was also very reasonable. The bad thing was that generally the room was quite worn and needed cleaning. There was also only 1 rubbish bin in the toilet which is not enough. When we were sleeping we could hear gnawing at one of our sealed snack bags so this meant there were rats in the room. I managed to take a video and showed it to the receptionist and she was pretty nonchalant about it and apologized but didn’t seem like she cared so it was definitely not the first time she has heard complaints about rats in their room.

Für eine Villa im Thai Style mit eigenem kleinen Pool fanden wir das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis echt super. Es war für uns der Einstieg in den Urlaub, weil sehr ruhig gelegen zwischen den 2 besten (klares Wasser) Stränden: Coral und Silver Beach. Fussläufig 2 sehr gute Restaurants mit sehr schöner Aussicht und ein kleiner Minimarkt. Das Resort ist nichts für kleine Kinder oder Menschen mit Problemen in den Beinen. Sehr steil gebaut und viele Treppen. Dadurch aber einer sehr tolle Lage mit sehr schöner Aussicht. Und hat nur gestört, dass der Hauptpool zu wenig tief war. Fast nicht zum schwimmen geeignet. Haben dann nur unseren eigenen genutzt. Frühstück okay. Abendessen sehr gut zu fairen Preisen.

Vi blev uppgraderade av jättefin, hjälpsam och trevlig personal. Ett stort plus för maten i restaurangen, rekommenderar carbonaran. Fin och bra frukost. En underbar vistelse, 10/10.

Das Hotel ist wunderschön an einem Abhang gelegen. Der Ausblick auf das Meer ist überragend. Zum Banden eignet sich der Pool sehr gut. Der Einstieg ins Meer ist jedoch sehr kompliziert und würde ich nur zum Schnorcheln empfehlen. Das Personal war stets sehr hilfsbereit und nett. Einziges Manko ist die laute Straße, die man doch immer wieder deutlich hört.

Koh Samui en famille

Un endroit extraordinaire; l’hôtel est à flanc de montagne et la vue est spectaculaire. Le personnel est au petit soin avec les clients. L’hôtel est calme, propre et magnifique. Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et confortables. Les déjeuners sont délicieux. Ils préparent des cafés chaud et glacés. Le resto du soir est digne d’un grand restaurant thaïlandais. La piscine est propre mais il n’y a pas beaucoup de chaises.

Je ne renouvellerai pas

Nous avons séjourné au Kala Hôtel et l’expérience a été mitigée. Du côté positif, la chambre est très belle, la décoration soignée et moderne. La vue est tout simplement splendide et la piscine magnifique, parfaite pour se détendre et profiter du cadre. En revanche, l’insonorisation est vraiment à revoir : nous avions l’impression de dormir au bord d’une autoroute, ce qui a fortement gâché nos nuits. De plus, le petit déjeuner est beaucoup trop léger et ne correspond pas aux attentes pour un établissement de ce standing. En résumé, un hôtel visuellement très agréable mais avec des points essentiels à améliorer pour offrir une expérience complète et reposante

So I booked this place a couple weeks ago for a 2 night stay. It looked beautiful on there website as well as Expedia, and without hesitation even though it was on the pricey end, I paid $507 for a two night stay for the duplex pool villa, without breakfast. I was expecting it to be like how they had it in the pictures, however, the place is super run down and looked nothing like what is does in pictures. At certain time of the night they would turn off electricity, the lights work but I couldn’t charge my phone all night. It’s really dead in the resort, I feel like no one was there except for three other couples. The “resort” was right off the side of what seems to look like the main road, resort doesn’t offer transportation besides from/to airport or pier. Everything is far from hotel and must use some type of transportation, walking was dangerous because it’s the main road and they’re driving pretty fast, we tried and it was scary. You can take a transportation that is similar to a tuk tuk and they usually charge per person 50baht I believe. The closest beach is 10mins driving, there is also another close one that you have to kayak through the rough waves and rocks which is a no no for me, I’m not that adventurous.Food was another hard thing to find, even though they do offer food there in the resort. View was beautiful, but the resort was definitely not worth the money, especially in Thailand. USD can get you so much more luxurious places and this was not one of them.
