Amy Village Garden Resort

As a retired couple we have happily lived at Amy Village for 14 years. For 12 of those years the complex was owned by a Scottish guy who also lived on site. Sadly things all changed when new owners arrived expecting us to sign a new contract demanding we give 27000 baht deposit and need to give 6 months notice or forfeit the deposit . This was completely unacceptable and not a requirement in Thailand. As all furnishings were ours there was no problem of any damages arising. As we would not sign this contract we were told when our original contract on the 1st March expired we would be required to vacate as the apartment had been let. We asked for our 5000 baht deposit back which we paid 14 years ago. As we didn’t have the receipt for this even though our prior landlord was happy to confirm that this amount had been paid. In our opinion William is very rude and completely disrespectful Please think twice about staying here if you want a stress free vacation or retirement

Sadly, we feel compelled to share our original review below, since the owners have manipulated the reviews and deliberately removed it off Google. Someone commented that they do this and it's become clear that it's true - which displays a complete lack of integrity and honesty on behalf of the owners. No wonder it's all 5 stars on there, which is suspicious in itself. The irony is that we originally gave them a decent 3 stars (and the honest review which we copied below...) but after seeing that they have manipulated and removed the review, we have dropped this down to 1 star and can say that the place is run without the trust you would expect. See below our original review - maybe some people will read this if they check multiple platforms! OK place. Feels slightly like a school - lots of rules and a slightly strange atmosphere. The gym is not really a gym either, so I joined another place.... You will get charged for electricity at the end - heads up. Also know a few friends who had issues there for petty reasons (inc nonresidents who just came for the cowork: one friend got told off just for bringing an external water bottle and another guy for simply sitting by the pool - so lots of rules!). The location is nice / quiet but not sure it was the digital nomad haven we were after. Fine stay for 2 weeks but I'm not sure on longer stays...

Terrible place to stay in Koh Samui. The manager was rude and obnoxious, unprofessional. I had lived there for 3 months and it was like living in hell. A month after staying there I invited one of my friends to stay with me. The manager forced us to pay extra for him and we complied even though I was already paying for a two-person bedroom. No hotel in Thailand will ask you to pay extra for a second person. The manager told us that he registered my friend but later on we found out through the tourist police that he lied to us. He had caused me so many unnecessary problems, one of them being us parking the bike on the side of the pathway when the parking was full, he then cussed at us and yelled at us. He threatened to kick my friend out. The next day he kicked him out even after we had paid extra for his stay. We then talked to the tourist police and they explained to us that this isn't allowed and my friend can safely go back to Amy Village and continue his stay. After the manager found out we weren't planning on leaving he then proceeded to shut off the electricity in the room and then cut the air conditioning cable. He then called the local police on us which ended up with them being on our side. The day my friend's stay was over, the manager and his wife decided to let themselves into my room when I was sleeping for pest control. I was given no reminder in advance, and this wasn't the first time they had let themselves in without asking first. Just because the manager has a key to all the rooms doesn't mean they should use them unless there is an emergency. As a woman, this was shocking to see, especially because one of the first things that the manager told me when I was moving in was that this area was safe. Doesn't seem safe to me. On top of this, the wifi didn't work for my house for 2 weeks. They call themselves a digital nomad club but don't have proper wifi? Nothing in the room worked properly, the main entrance door knob was broken, the balcony doors barely slid open, the windows didn't close properly, and the aircon kept on leaking. This is only some of the issues with the room. For what I paid for I could have gotten a much better room with professional workers who won't give you dirty and rude looks when they see you. Overall, this is the WORST hotel I have stayed in.

We have had a very bad experience with the owners. We paid a deposit for three months stay of 20% to stay 3 months in september. Undue to illness of a familymember we however need to return to our homecountry unforseen. So we cancelled today alsmost 3 months in advanced. And this owner found it qppropriate to take 10.000 bath = €270,-- for costs. They schemed us because in Thailand this is not allowed. So we have asked the tourist police for help. Unbelievable that people will take advantage of a personal situation and try to profit from it. I wouldn't trust these owners with anything anymore. My advice: stay away.

An excellent friendly resort close to Lamai beach and all the amenities. 3 minutes from the local supermarket and close enough to the night life of Lamai beach. We stayed for just under two weeks and the facilities were excellent. Great pool, Co working space and scooter hire. A little coffee shop on site and only minutes away from lots of places to eat

We are staying for a month and I am working. The managers are a lovely and super helpful young couple. The accomodation (2 bedroom) is spacious and clean. Ver quiet and great to work from with nice people around and good wifi. Perfect place for digital nomads and remote workers.
