Beach Republic, Koh Samui

Hotel requires renovation, slightly overpriced based on that Most of the time impossible to swim in sea, even in high tide

Très bel hôtel avec emplacement au top mais la villa tropicale 103 aurait besoin d'une petite touche rénovation

We stayed in a Modern Pool Villa. During our stay we returned to the villa one evening to find a mouse in the bedroom. We then discovered a hole behind the sofa and droppings inside the kitchen cupboards, which was a clear hygiene concern. To their credit, the staff on site responded quickly that evening and eventually relocated us to another room. However, this was obviously disruptive packing essentials and moving late at night, especially with a small baby. We completed a full move to another villa the following day. While the staff we dealt with were polite and tried their best to help in the moment, we were disappointed with how the matter was handled afterwards. Despite the seriousness of the issue and the disruption caused, no meaningful compensation (e.g a refund for the disrupted night) was offered by the property management. We had very small token gestures. We would’ve preferred to resolve this direct with them but found communication very difficult. Earlier in the stay there had also been ongoing construction noise from a neighbouring property. Given the price point of the villas, this experience fell well below what we expected.

The room was spotless, staff were very friendly. The bed was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean and spacious. Excellent condition.

Friendly staff, pool villa was very good for the price and the gardener/security guard is a very nice feller.

Tout était top, sauf le paiement du verre cassé le jour du départ à 6€. Du vol notoire de la part des employés.

Hår på værelset. Udendørs arealer minder lidt om en byggeplads. Der er ret rodet, og flere områder der er lukket for gæster

Outstanding rooms- like your own apartment with the ability to cook your own meals. Their breakfast buffet is great. Their coffee is excellent, including awesome espresso from quality beans and expertly made. Laundry by the kilo is inexpensive. Renting motorbikes is inexpensive. Their restaurant and bar area is beautiful and on the beach. The staff are helpful and friendly. When I return to Koh Samui, I will stay here above anywhere else. All staff put the customer first in this outstanding property. A true GEM!

We had an absolute wonderful stay. Lovely staf, very attendfull. Love it here!!

Room was very nice (modern two bedroom villa). The rest of the resort is ok. Some areas are closed and under reconstruction. The resort is a bit on the outside of town, and you need to use taxi to get around (or rent a car). If you want it to be quiet, this is a good location.

The Expedia pictures show beach front hotel with nice beach. Was very disappointing to arrive and the “beach” is not swimmable, there is no water. You have to drive to a different area in Lamai to have beach access. The rooms are nice and clean and spacious. It more like an apartment complex. I believe there are some villas. The dinning area and complementary breakfast was good, outdoors, with ocean view. I checked out early because I was expecting to be able to access the beach from my hotel during my vacation and that is not the case. If you want a comfortable room with breakfast this is a good place. If you want beach access this won’t work.

Magnifique endroit. J’ai beaucoup aimé la plage. Très calme. Le restaurant est très bien et le petit déjeuner aussi. La chambre était très grande avec un balcon. Je vous recommande cet hôtel pour le tranquillité.

The receptionist and service stuff were very friendly. Tje restaurant food was also good.

Store fine rom,bra aircondition. Frokost kunne vært både inne og ute, valgfritt. Burde vært aircondition der maten sto, og bedre måter å fjerne insekter på maten. Toaletter ved strand burde hatt aircondition også, en del mygg der inne. Skitne madrasser ved strand/basseng, trengs oppussing her og der i det området. Trivelige ansatte, og idyllisk område.. Stille og rolig.

Sehr schöne ruhige Anlage Sehr zu Empfehlen

Ganske nedslitte fasiliteter, uteområdene var langt fra det som vises på hotellets hjemmesider. Del av uteområdet ved stranden var delvis avsperret og fullt av søppel. Gamle og nedslitte utemøbler. 300 meter fra hotellrom til frokostrestaurant. Veldig hyggelige og flinke ansatte.

Greit opphold, trivelig betjening. Hotellet ligger sammen med flere andre resorts litt ensomt til. Ser ut som vedlikehold på området aldri har har vert prioritert, ett bassengområde helt avstengt. Lamai området ikke helt hva vi forventet.

Stedet ligger langt fra byen, så du skal leje en scooter, eller rage taxi for at komme der til. De reklamerer med at det er et fredfyldt sted, men det passer ikke, da lejlighederne ligger lige op af hovedvejen, med masser af støj til følge. Resteauranten er 40% dyrere en andre, og det føles som om, at de benytter sig af at der er langt til andre steder. De manupulerer også med de reklamerede priser i spisekortet, idet de lægger 10 samt 7 % på efterfølgende. Hvis du køber morgenmad er buffeten lille, og du får kun er lille kop kaffe. Vil du have en ekstra koster det. De uddeler bøder hvis du tager en fladke vand og et æble med ned til liggestolene ved stranden, og et stort stykke af væggen ned til den er kollapset. Liggestole og sengene er i øvrigt meget beskidte, og det der en gang var rødt stof, er for længst blevet falmet, og er nu meget beskidt og direkte ulækkert at røre ved. Det virker som et hotel hvor økonomien har det dårligt, og at de derfor ikke vedligeholder det ordentligt, og med alle midler forsøger at presse ekstra penge ud af gæsterne. Det ses også på værelserne hbor larmende ventilatorer burde udskiftes, sammen med beskidte lampeskærme og manglende maling og paneler. Fitness centeret er ubrugeligt, da det er af en så dårlig kvalitet at det ikke kan bruges til noget, og man får følelsen af, at de bare har sat det op for at få en ekstra stjerne på hjemnesiden. Jeg følte at opholdet var spild af tid, og prisen alt for høj i forhold til hvad de kan tilbyde.

This is an absolute gem of a place. It is in a great location. The beach is beautiful, with the most amazing sunsets. The breakfast is pretty standard to what you get across Thailand. However the day/evening meals are absolutely delicious. The customer service was responsive. The cleaning of the room every 2 days was fine. We had some washing done, and it was very clean and to a high standard. We had a villa with a pool. It was very peaceful, we saw some amazing birds. The villa cost circa £200 per night. The downside was it did need some TLC. I think blaming Covid now is stretching it a bit. The furniture was basic, the hairdryer just about let out air. The overall maintenance was a bit slack. We were not really sure who was in charge of the site, but this gave some privacy we welcomed. We had an issue with the pool but it was quickly sorted. If you order room service the plates are not collected, we had to ask. Even when water was delivered plates were left behind. Excellent WiFi and access to Netflix. However it might be a bit rustic but I would definitely stay here again. There are newer villas but we were not given one of those. The trip to see the pink dolphins is a must.

Hotellet har ett fantastiskt läge vid stranden, och rummen är stora med kök – perfekt för familjer. Personalen var trevlig och städningen bra. Tyvärr var både spjälsängen och barnstolen trasiga vid ankomst, och vi fick vänta i tre dagar dagar på en ny säng, så vår dotter sov i vagnen. Frukosten var enkel och identisk i en månad, med endast en kopp kaffe per person. Många områden på hotellet var stängda (kändes som en spökstad), delar av asfalten på stranden hade sjunkit, och strandmöblerna var slitna. Rummen var gamla, köket luktade illa och ibland kändes avloppslukt i badrummet. Hotellet har potential men behöver bättre underhåll.
