NunuThe hotel's overall environment is great, perfect for a vacation, and the room privacy is excellent, very comfortable. The drinks at the restaurant are also delicious, and you can see many giant clams and fish on the beach right outside. The only downside is that the chlorine in the swimming pool is too strong! My child's body, inner thighs, and neck all broke out in rashes. My child swims frequently, and we've never encountered this at previous hotels. Even my friend developed scattered red rashes after swimming for just half an hour.

Guest UserWe stayed for 2 nights and 3 days on Koh Samet, at the Tubtim Hotel. We absolutely loved it! The hotel is really well-located. If you go right, you'll find parties, fire shows, restaurants, and shops. If you go left, you'll find peace and quiet, beauty, and serene beaches. The room had everything we needed, except for toothbrushes. The breakfasts were good, there's a coffee machine, and the coffee was even tasty, which is rare for Thailand. We had a bungalow with a sea view, and it was simply perfect!

Guest User“Good Location but NOT Good Service Mind”
I’ve traveled to Koh Samed several times and usually like to stay at different hotels each time. I came across the good reviews of this hotel, so I decided to book it for my parents and me because the location is convenient. I’ve also visited the restaurant under the hotel several times for food and drinks.
Unfortunately, this stay was very disappointing.
The equipment in the room was quite old and rusty. At around 2 a.m., the hot-water pipe under the sink broke, causing hot water to splash over the toilet. We tried calling the hotel, but no one answered the phone, so we decided to walk to the reception.
The way to the reception was very dark and quite scary. When we arrived, the reception was closed and there was no one around. Eventually, we found a security guard sitting near the beach and asked him for help. He came to check the issue and offered to move us to another room. However, we were extremely tired at around 3 a.m., so we told him that if the problem could be fixed, we would prefer to stay in the same room.
When I checked out the next morning, I informed the female staff member at reception (the lady with glasses) about what had happened during the night.
What really disappointed me was her first response. Instead of apologizing or asking what happened, she said with an annoyed expression:
“He already offered to change the room for you, right?”
I was honestly surprised by this response. As a customer, I wasn’t complaining about not being offered another room. I was simply informing the hotel about a serious issue that happened in the middle of the night and the fact that no one answered the hotel phone when we needed help.
She then asked why I didn’t call the hotel. I explained that I had tried calling several times, but no one answered. She looked surprised by this, which made me wonder whether the hotel was even aware that the phone was not being answered.
I would have been completely fine if she had simply apologized and explained what happened clearly. Unfortunately, her attitude and lack of empathy made the situation much worse.
The location is good, and I’ve actually enjoyed visiting the restaurant here before. But good location and good food cannot make up for poor customer service, especially when a guest needs assistance in the middle of the night.
Unfortunately, I definitely won’t come back to stay here again, and I’ll also reconsider visiting the restaurant.
I gave 1 star on service for the staff who checked in us, she was friendly and helpful.

NipoditangxianzuStayed for 2 nights and 3 days. You can snorkel directly in front of the hotel, and there are more fish near the coral reefs, but I wouldn't recommend going there if the waves are big. It's best to wear long pants and diving socks to avoid scratches. The sand right outside is very fine and soft. Breakfast is served by the sea with ocean views. The bar street can get a bit noisy at night, so it might not be suitable for light sleepers, but since we usually go to bed late, it didn't bother us. A major plus is that the bedsheets are changed for every new guest. The room has many windows, making it bright and airy. The only downsides are that the shower only has a handheld showerhead and the water pressure is a bit low. For shopping, try to go to the 7-Eleven on the main street, as the supermarket here is about a third more expensive. Overall, it offers great value for money and is perfect for a relaxing holiday.

m.moThis is a newly opened, simple yet stylish hotel. The room was a decent size and very comfortable.
It's a bit far from the center, so it's especially recommended for those who want to stay mostly at the hotel, read books, or relax quietly on the beach.
The hotel's restaurant seemed to offer good value for money on food items. However, alcoholic beverages were a bit pricey, so I was glad I bought drinks near the port before heading back.
If you plan on going out a lot for massages, restaurants, or activities, renting a scooter would make getting around much easier.
Grab isn't available on the island, and transportation mainly relies on songthaews. Each ride costs 200 baht, and it takes a while for them to arrive after calling, so this hotel is better suited for those who prefer a relaxed stay.

Perfect location right on the beach. The beachfront restaurant is very good and caters to a variety of tastes. The rooms are decent. The hotel is more geared toward younger guests, who visit in large numbers, but it can also be a good choice for families who do not mind the lively atmosphere.

An extra bed can be added, and the front desk charges 1500 THB, which includes breakfast for the extra guest. The hotel is right by a public beach and has its own bar, so the overall environment is quite good. However, the room facilities are mediocre; there are no disposable amenities like toothbrushes or combs. A 7-Eleven is very close, just a 2-minute walk from the hotel. But they don't provide plastic bags for shopping, so you'll need to bring your own.

Guest UserWe loved everything!
The grounds aren't huge, but they're green and there's a pool. Breakfasts are tasty and varied: every day there's toast, scrambled eggs, coffee, omelets made to order, several kinds of fruit, and hot dishes that change daily.
The staff are very welcoming and friendly.
The bungalows are a bit old and small inside, but they have everything you need. There was an issue with the air conditioning, which was fixed very quickly. The only thing is the shower water was only lukewarm (or maybe we couldn't figure out how to adjust it). The Wi-Fi was decent, flying in the morning but slower in the evening.
And the main thing is that the hotel is located on a stunning beach. It's peaceful here, but not boring, with cafes, a small shop, and fire shows. The hotel provides sun loungers.
The taxi stand is behind the hotel, so getting around is easy, or you can walk and explore different beaches.
If we go to Samet again, we'll choose this hotel again, partly because of the beach.

My most favourite place to stay at Koh Samed. I will stay here in future again. I love the swimming pools, breakfast was delicious, I enjoyed every moment. I stayed for 9 nights. All staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. Resort is walking distance from the beach, restaurants and shops.

Missaleks_petThe location is excellent, but it doesn't meet expectations for the price. When we visited in 2023, sun loungers were free, but now they charge 60 baht per person, I believe. The standard rooms are terrible – old, with no shelves or tables, so clothes just end up on the floor. The shower is bad, offering no comfort at all. The noise isolation is awful; every morning from 5:30 AM, a rooster crows non-stop right under the windows. Staff start making a lot of noise and working early in the morning, and then at night, someone was snoring incredibly loudly. For this price, you could definitely find a much more comfortable and convenient place to stay.
