The White Cottage Samui

Pros: Manager O was great, very helpful and attentive. She arranged laundry for us at a very reasonable price. She also arranged the shuttle to and from airport which was timely and reasonable (not free). The location was ok, not on the beach but very near. Free bottled water delivered to room every day. Cons: 1) Bathroom smelled of sewage the entire time. Staff attempts to address it were ineffective. 2) No water for several hours on day 2 while waiting for water truck. 3) Pool was not clean. We swam once but after that it looked too bad to go in again. To their credit, they appeared to be working on it but we couldn’t swim after the second day. 4) No amenities except two tiny bars of soap. Towels were old and thin. No hand towels or wash cloths. Mattress was very firm and only 2 pillows provided for the 2 of us. Overall even given the price it was not worth it. Would definitely upgrade to a nicer hotel next time.

Nice place nice people will come back

This is an impressive property with great price point. On a cul-de-sac, not a through street and only a few hundred feet from the beach. The staff was very friendly and made sure that we enjoyed our stay. Mgr "O" was awesome as she went above and beyond to keep us informed and supported.

Vety cute little setting, rooms were exceptionally clean, spacious and well presented, bathroom large. The service by O and ger ream was a standout, with her calm and kind presence she made our stay woncerful. I strongly recommend using her for transfers sas she was also better priced than Grab etc. White cottage is also very close to Fishermen's Village night market,beach and cafes. Highly recommend pico for breakfast and dinner. Picos

We could not have had better, more attentive service. Great location close to beach and Fisherman's Village

The staff at this location are so incredibly kind. It was a convenient location to fishermans village. We also spent alot of time at the surrounding hotel Pico for dinners and lounging on the beach. Karma next door you can also pay to acess their pools and beavh. Chelo has a great spa too. This made this location perfect.

The staff was super helpful and friendly. The property was clean and well kept and it was quiet. Easy walk to the beach or to fisherman’s Village or the night market for dining options. Excellent value

Lovely quaint little place unfortunately had to check out early due to other commitments but had a nice stay very friendly staff.

Great location and staff.

Staff were fantastic, and so helpful. Felt very safe here. They gave lots information on the area which made our stay enjoyable. Fantastic beaches in the area

Very friendly staff, couldn’t do enough to help us with day trips, taxis, places to eat etc.

The hotel is well situated, close to services, 12 minutes walk to the Night market and 15 minutes walk to the Fisherman's village. The 2 employees of the hotel were very kind and helpful. The place was very clean. There was a space with tables and chairs close to the pool. There was also dishes at our disposal so we could take our breakfast there or bring our meals. That was appreciated. We can access the beach easily by the hotel next to it. We are a family with kids of 9 and 11 years old. We did not find the beach well adapted for kids. The water became deep very fast and there was waves. We do not recommand this beach with young kids. Prefer Maenam or Chaweng beach. The only small negative points are that the outdoor furniture near the pool is aging, some would need to be changed and the electricity is unstable, so, sometimes, there is a lack of water or the air-conditioned area is not always effective. Apparently it's a power problem on the island and not a local hotel problem. We appreciated our time at this hotel.

Hotel representatives greeted customers with warm and local details. Provided very helpful local sightseeing information. The hotel is very warm and cozy and clean!

Very kind and thoughtful lady at reception. She has a little boy with her and he’s so happy funny. The energy around the area is amazing. Big space for rooms and whenever you need help with anything the kind lady will help you out at whatever time with a big smile on her face. Pool is 24h, water is provided when you run out towels provided when asked. Really enjoyed our stay here. Will definitely come back if we’re in Koh Samui! Great place to stay for the price given!

This is THE PLACE to stay. It’s nearby the airport, near the Fisherman’s village, affordable, safe, quiet, and THE LADY AT FRONT DESK IS SO HELPFUL! She will give you all details for you to have the best of your time! Thank you so much!

I kept extending my stay at The White Cottage and was there four nights and I will return again. Its perfect for solo travellers like myself who don’t want to pay exorbitant price ( because we always pay for two) The rooms are spacious, white tiled comfortable rooms with huge polished cement bathroom, a/c, nice tv, own privacy and its very quiet.Its just one minute to a lovely beach through Eden Beach Bungalows or Karma Resort a lovely short walk to Fisherman’s Village along the beach where you can enjoy Massage Spa’s and restaurants galore and shop til you drop. It has a swimming pool if you need a cool dip and is a small complex with receptionists who cannot do enough for you to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

This is a cosy place with lovely spacious, clean, white tiled rooms with huge bathroom, hot water, fast WiFi and large KS comfy bed, small fridge, hanging space. Its really good value for money and just a minutes walk to the beach through Eden Beach Bungalows or Karma Resort. You can walk along beach to Fishermans Village or enjoy heaps of restaurants nearby where it is quiet and laid back. I came for 2 days and stayed 5. The receptionists are so lovely. The pool is small but you have the beach in a minute and pools from resorts to use if you buy a drink. If you want to be near Fishermans Village or on a nice beach this is it.

Simple, clean, excellent location just back from beach. Quiet. Staff lovely and very helpful. Warm people. Pool just lovely, small but perfectly formed. We really enjoyed our stay due to helpful advice and assistance given by staff and owner.

By far this was probably one of the best places I've stayed in while in Thailand. It was clean, well located , affordable, very nicely designed and super close to the beach I'd stay there again next time I'll be in Samui

Positives: Location, staff, breakfast, pool area, value for money. Negatives: Bathrooms, Other guests can be noisy. Overall we had a great stay in a location 15 minute walk from a Fisherman’s Village. Staff are friendly and welcoming and attentative. The premises are set back from the main road but traffic noise is minimal. You have access to the beach via Eden Villas resort and can use their facilities. Bathroom is a wet room with toilet and shower on a concrete floor. Water pressure from the shower is low (electric) but sufficient. Overall. Would I return if in Koh Sami again? Yes I would.
