Really good value for money - it is boutique style decor - clean, modern and stylish. Good location - only 5 minute walk into the heart of the strip of restaurants and shops that run along just behind the beach. Such a shame it doesn't have a little breakfast area as we would have definitely used it. Kamala as a... More

This is a gem in Kamala town. This small beautifully designed guesthouse features 10 lovely medium-size rooms. They feature very comfy beds, desk, spotless bathroom, and nice decor including quotes on walls. They also smell lovely thanks to lemongrass shower gel :) Charly is very hospitable and incredibly helpful and he really goes out of his way to make your... More

This is a nice budget option (if that exists on Phuket) in Kamala beach if you don't feel like staying in one of the resort-type places. Located on Kamala's main street, just 5 minutes walk from the beach, it is very conveniently located. Numerous places to eat, drink and shop are just a few steps away. The place itself and... More

This was the perfect little haven in Kamala. Though no right on the beach, it was only steps away, and often nice to escape the parading tourists along the beach. It was super clean, everything was taken care of, and Karl and his wife did everything to make sure I had what I needed. They had great recommendations for restaurants,... More

This is an excellent choice for a clean, comfortable, stylish, and perfectly located place to stay in Kamala. The room was spotless and the bed was perfect. The beach is just a short walk away, and there are many good options for eating and drinking in the area. We really appreciated directions and suggestions from one of the owners, and... More

Amazing location, friendly owner! However for 70 a night in Asia I would expect more. However Phuket is Phuket. Better bargains around but if pric doesn't matter you'll be very pleased. More

A very short walk from the beach and restaurants, in Kamala main street going the seaside, this is the place to be ! Peaceful place, nice welcome, very pleasant hosts, quiet rooms that smell so good lemongrass, lovely service, sweet attention...what else when you want to relax nearby the seaside in a charming place.

Very, very nice place with friendly and helpful owners. Modern, clean, safe and quiet. Good value for the price. Near everything - beach, shops, restaurants and entertainment. Much better and more for the money than you expect from a guesthouse. More
