Accommodation and facilities:

Pretty bare bones. The AC worked well in the cement room. The bathroom was always hot and a bit stinky. Very pleasant location towards the far end of Bophut. I found the ocean breeze out here always very pleasant even when Bophut town was still and stifling. The bar/restaurant is a great place to hang out. Thai massage platforms are right here on the beach. It s about a 15 minute walk along the beach to where the town starts. Walking out to the road is pretty far out of the way and not very nice.

Reservation service:

Worked fine.

Accommodation and facilities:

Very basic with cold shower which I did not expect but clean and pleasantly surprised as expected worse. Nice private beach and very peaceful. However very scary to get back to after midnight asno lights and down a bumpy alley with barking dogs but very different feel in the day. Staff not as friendly as would like but what you pay for is what you get.

Siamo andati via un giorno prima, Posto desolante e sporco. La struttura sembra abbandonata..per i titolari e piu importante passare ore e ore su facebook che dare una sistematina al resort. Non lo consiglio proprio a nessuno.

Booking ok

very quiet place and beautiful beach, It s really much better than Chaweng beach which is a crowed and boring part of the island. At the cactus bungalow, the food is really good, the people is very nice and welcoming and there is every thing we need in a calm area.

Dear Sir, Your mail is for me the occasion to announce you the very poor quality of the hotel Cactus Bungalow, Koh Samui which is very degraded (very old paintings, moulds etc). My appreciation support on the comparison of 6 other establishments used during a voyage two months in Thailand. The manager of the hotel meeting on the spot refused to make a commercial gesture. Sincerely yours Rey-Robert Alain

Accommodation and facilities:

I booked this place online after recommendation from friend at my gym. When I arrived I paid in full after paying deposit online without seeing room. When I saw the room it was disgusting - mouldy mattress, smelled terribly of damp, heaps of mosquitos in room, air conditioner only working intermittently, only one english channel on tv, only wireless internet in cafe area. Although cheap I would not recommend staying here at all, ever. The owner eventually arrived and gave me back half my money but only after pressure to do so. Not up to any sort of standard and obviously not looked after - I didn t even stay a night and left immediately.

Reservation service:

Poor information on how bad this place is.

Accommodation and facilities:

Nice location, just a step from the beach and to other good resturantes and bars. The stuff are very nice and friendly ,but the bungalows are in a very poor condition. We hade to change bungalow after our first night because Of the very bad bed and moldy smell. So we upgraded from fan room to AC room wich was much better but still a moldy smell. We would not recomend this bungalows you can find much better for the same price or even less and thats what we did! Be sure you lock your room if you go there, things disappeared from our room and according to other guests it happend before. Dec 2010 Åsa&Alex from Sweden

Accommodation and facilities:

Cactus Bungalow is good value for money. I paid a bit more for an air conditioned room and this was worth it as I had some friends staying in a single room with just a fan and the mattresses were just thin bits of foam (not good if you suffer from a bad back!). However, my double room had 1 bed with one of these thin foam mattresses, but the other bed had a much better mattress. The air con worked well but a touch noisy. The staff are very friendly and are willing to help whenever possible. However, I did pay to get some laundry done and when I got it back it was clean but smelt of bonfire smoke! The bar is very good and sells all sorts of Thai and European food. Good value as well...much cheaper than a lot of the resorts for food and drink along Bo Phut beach. All in all, a nice 9 days spent at Cactus Bungalow and would recommend it as a cheaper option.

Accommodation and facilities:

This place is a value stay with excellent location. I beds are really old and have not been replaced or upgraded for over 10 yrs. You are sleeping on the springs and the pads are practically gone. Not only that but the beds also have bed bugs. I had them change my sheets, but it didn t really help as the bugs just crawl through. I stayed 6 nights and got the fan room. I ve gotten up in the middle of the night to shower because of bed bugs crawling in my crouch. Lucky I brought my own sleeping bag, otherwise, I would not be able to sleep. I slept the last 3 nights with my sleeping bag. The bathroom is ok but needs better ventilation. You really have to air it out because the vents are small so poor air circulation, otherwise, bacteria starts growing. I ve had to close the bath door because of mosquitoes in there. Besides that, the location is very good. Staff are friendly.

Reservation service:

great as usual;
