Accommodation and facilities:

Rooms are nice enough as well as garden Staff is so so. Some nice and some rude. Food was good but a bit expensive for portion size as it is small even by Thai standards. Resort a bit out of the way and it is a saengthow ride either way to a town. Do not recommend laundry service as blatantly overcharged.

Reservation service:

The staff were very friendly and helpfull. The room was nice, clean and quiet. The garden is beautiful! The beach is not too good for swim, but you can rent a motorbike or car at the hotel, so every facilities are available in the island easily. Price, value for money is very good.

We had a wonderful holiday on Samui thanks to Baan Bai Fern hotel and their kind staff. The hotel is on the quiet side of the island and it is perfect for peace loving people. The restaurant serves thai and western food. We appreciated their tuna sandwiches as their chicken curry. The pool is better for swimming than their beach wich is too shallow. During 12 days stay on peak season we had the pool always only for our selves. There are also vip bungalowes with private pool and jaccuzi. Ours was a superior sea view and it was all we needed, nothing to complain, only good memories. I have never seen a tropical garden as lovely as in Baan Bai Fern. Bravo to their busy gardener who nevertheless always had the time to smile and say hello. I highly recommend this hotel to all peacefull holiday and nature lovers.

Rooms are clean, but have a ants in bathroom. Territory is very good, nice pool. Location only for people who loves loneliness. There is nothing near the hotel - neither restaurants, no massages. Beach leaves much to be desired.

Accommodation and facilities:

This is a lovely, well kept resort with beautiful gardens amd comfortable, clean rooms. It is a place to go and relax, it s very quiet and different to the busier Chaweng on the East. The staff were keen to please, although had limited English. The transfer rates (e.g. to the ferry port) are also very high; but getting an independent, passing taxi is difficult at any time of the day.

Reservation service:

Easy and stress-free

Best $25 hotel ever! We were so pleased with our stay at Baan Bai Fern. We had originally planned to stay one or two nights and then go to a quieter island like Ko Pha Ngan (not the full moon party part), but we liked it so much, we decided to stay for the whole week! The rooms--and the whole place really--are SO romantic and comfortable. You get an entire villa to yourself, and the garden view is a tropical paradise. The gardens are lush, the sunset view is great, and the cafe serves some tasty dishes. And the staff are so sweet. The beach is rocky in spots, but when the tide comes in a little bit, there s shallow water for a hundred yards out to sea, and it s really great for walking in or taking pictures of the clear, turquoise water. You do have to hop in the back of a pick-up truck to get anywhere, but to us, that was part of the appeal. We love being away from it all. We tried to figure out how to stay longer, but the penalty fees on an economy ticket are as much as the ticket. We should have stayed anyway. Plan at least 10 days if you go. Oh, and there s a great BBQ place just a little down the road towards Nathon--it s fantastic--all the locals eat there. In short, we hope you like it as much as we did. It s not the Ritz, but an excellent substitute (and knowing you re only paying 800 Baht gives you peace of mind, too!)

Reservation service:

Fine. Rates were the same as booking directly with the hotel.

Accommodation and facilities:

I had a wonderful 3 days at Baan Bai Fern Resort Ko Samui. It was so peaceful, relaxing and quiet. The west coast of Ko Samui does not have all the hype and tourist business of the East coast and is a good place to go to if you do want peace. I was well fed, well cared for and well looked after by the very attentive staff. I travelled on my own and could not fault staff. I was able to order a massage and a Thai lady came to the resort and gave me the best massage. The swimming pool was bliss as I basically had it to myself. I did not have to leave the resort for anything as it was a complete rest that I was after amd I was not disappointed. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a nice quiet break.

We had a great stay here. Excellent place , cabins were spotless with great facilities. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. It is a little bit out of the way but easy enough to get a bus into places to eat etc. The pool was great would definitely recommend it.

Accommodation and facilities:

My wife and I stayed for 1 night only as we were travelling to Koh Tao next morning. We found this resort very quiet and peaceful and room was fair value for the price. Staff were very helpful, although unlike the bigger hotels, English was very very limited. Beach unfortunately is in a little bit of a mess due to construction of beach front villas. The Hotel gardens are however very nice. If you are looking for something very quiet or a stopover on a budget this hotel is in all fairness fine.

Reservation service:

No problems with booking.

Good but remote. Rooms are excellent, clean and well kept, grounds are well kept & interesting. This is NOT a beach facing resort and the beach is poor at best with no access from the resort. If you are content with a small swimming pool only then this will be OK for you. Prices are average.

Reservation service:

worked well

Here it´s quit and calm but not far from Chaweng coast( 20 min by car). Recommended for familys with small children. Close to Nathon where it´s very cheap.
