Free House Bungalow

Pauline said, "ok but beer and ice cream overpriced. There are a lot of dogs around & one powerful dog which we were told had bitten someone on the beach."

Jitti said, "I relatives total 9 persons. The atmosphere here is all right. The facilities in bungalow is simple and natural. No compliment drinking water in the rooms. The staffs will make up your room when you check out only. The foods in the restaurant are standard. The service is quite standard. Nothing is over your expectation. Next time we visit Samui we may stay here again or not."

teresa said, "me and my family had a lovely stay at freehouse.the kids did not want to leave.the people there were wonderful,accomodation ok,but who goes to thailand to spend time in a room.you also get the best corn on the cob sold on the beach here at bophut.food in the restaurants here expensive,but still cheaper than in england.would definately come again, made a great start to our holiday."

Petra said, "Nice and simple place. Nice stuff except the arrogant owner.God food, nice beach. We moved to World Resort, nearby, nice resort with a pool and breakfast buffet included, for the same price."

Lucy said, "The Free House is situated on a beautiful beach with fabulous views of the sea. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful and will also help you to book any trips. The food is gorgeous; infact so nice we didn t eat anywhere else for 6 nights. All in all a marvellous place to stay and we would recommend it to anyone who wants a laid back relaxing holiday"

Lapeyre said, "We have in no way to appreciate the free house bungalow to Koh Samui. The reception is unpleasant, price lists(rates) were raised(were brought up) for little of comfort and cleanliness of the bungalow. We not only once the household(housework) was made. No change of towel(briefcase) either. We reserved a bungalow with big bed and warm water. We had the right(law) of credit note of the warm water that 3 days after our arrival. The manager and the staff Laughed at it while the repair of the shower set only 2 minutes. Then, an advice(council): AVOID Free House Bungalow to Koh Samui."

Steven said, "The hotel was okay, right on the beach. The room was fine but the 45 baht charge for a bottle of drinking water for the room was exorbitant. We moved to Sandy Resort, nearby, where we had a nice place with a pool and buffet breakfast included, for much less."

Ewa said, "For dog lovers definetly but why bungalows look worse than dogs hut??? Dirty and stinking place. Big mistake. We moved out at once."

claudia said, "the beach is beautiful and very quiet. the food was good and very cheap. the room was ok but the bathroom was disgusting.we would not stay again there because there are better apartment for nearly the same price."

Miss said, "Bungalows were very clean but basic (but that is reflected in the price you pay)and more than adequate. The food in the restaurant was good and the family who owned the Bungalows were very friendly. Boput Beach was a very quiet resort and at night if you are wanting atmosphere you will need to head out of Boput."

Sobotsinskiy said, "We were lucky to come right after the rains stopped, but before more tourists came, so all the beach was ours and the sea was very clean. Bungalow was rather simple, just what we expected for such a low price, a good sleeping place with a hot shower and a fan. We were quite nervous about not having an AC at first, but in the end we didnt even use fan much. November temperature was quite comfortable as is.A good restaurant, just like everywhere in Thailand. :) Right outside the Hotel there was a shop where we bought some tours to see the island, very convenient. During the night Bophut beach is really sleepy - all shops and restaurants are closed, but we ve found a nice establishment down the road, owned by an old-school rock n roll musician from Los Angeles. In other words, many helpful and pleasant people all around the place. :) We had a nice stay there."

Mr said, "Lovely new bungalows and a restaurant that was right on the beachfront.Good food,great value.Clean beach for swimming and located close to the shops.Laundry service & internet access down the drive.Would come again."

Jamie said, "Cheap compared to the neighbours, but I think you could probably get better value in the village itself. Hot water in the shower was sporadic, and not available in the sink; the room was only cleaned once during my stay (10 days) and the lighting quite dim. That said, I extended twice as it has a very laid back atmosphere and is fine if you are looking after yourself and not expecting hotel service. Let s face it, who s going to sit in there room all day while on holiday? Friends called and were told I had checked out which was annoying. Check out the massage on the beach out front, they were always busy."

Jane said, "A nice relaxed, family run hotel. It s basic, but for the price very good value. The staff are friendly, the restaurant great and the bar will stay open if you want a few quiet night caps. Beach chairs at the front, massage, etc on the beach. I recommed it if you want a basic, but relaxed breach break."

Jeff said, "Art (manager) is hilarious. He literally cracked us up every time he spoke. The staff is very friendly. The bartender is awesome. A very quiet place to stay which was very nice. Bring bug repellant for nightime. You can easily rent cycles and jeeps. Recommended stay. Close to Fisherman s Village where there are several good restaurants. Highly recommended to rent a jeep or cycle and travel around the island. Pack light as there are several places to wash clothes for a very cheap price (30BAT/kg). The sun is scorchingly hot so make sure to pack suntan lotion. The B52 tastes marvelous from the bar. The Chef salad and coffee are good as well. Pretty much the manager Art makes it a great place to stay."

Agathe said, "We had a wonderful stay at the Free House. The hotel is very nice, the food excellent and everybody is so friendly. We will come back."

Aree said, "Freehouse is an excellent bungalow hotel. The hotel is locationed on a nice part of Bophut..actually, the nicer hotels on this beach are not always the case. Freehouse has an open area restaurant which is very calming and also social. The rooms were perfect. We rented many rooms and they were all perfect. Air-con and basic rooms were all nice. It depends what matters to you. The food is excellent! (not always the case at some hotels) It says a lot about the owners to know that they really care about dogs and there are nice pets to the hotel. Diffenately recommended!!!"

Wolfgang said, "The ideal place for dog-lovers!Price compared to the room- size/equipment is too high, you can get better for less! NO room-service 5 days (no new towels, paper or linings, rubbish is your own thing). Wear rubber boots if it rains to enter from the main road you might get stuck in mud/dirt! Restaurant too expensive especially ALL drinks (i.e. 1 Chang-beer THB 120.-, 1 Coke 45!!!).Go 5 minutes to your left (Bophut-direction) and pay for the same in new really nice restaurant THB 55/20! Swimming between rubbish, plastics and oil-canister! Not recommended!"

Wolfgang said, "Looked into rates- 20% higher this year, impertinent!!!!!"

Robert said, "Great place for the money yet the beach was pretty rough. All in all I would recommend"

Shi said, "The resort is not located very conveniently but you could find restaurant, travel agency, motobike rent shop, etc., around. The beach where the resort located is great and the garden is also extremely wonderful. All people said the restaurant of the resort was delicious but I think it s just normal. Everyone is helpful and kind but the fat guy (might be the supervisor or the boss?) only had a normal attitude. The massage on the beach is great. Generally, everything is ok."

Tim said, "We were 2 friends travelling together and took the 2 bedroom bungalow. Our stay was exactly how we hoped it would be, very relaxing, great resort with the best food and absolutely no hitches. I was speaking to the owner about dolphins and unbelievably 3 or 4 appeared, jumping and playing...it was beautiful."

Mrs said, "This place was great value for money and the food in the restaurant was to be recommended. We found that the beach was clean and quiet always sun loungers available. Added bonus of the massage tables on beach suppling fabulous massage and fantastic foot scrub, mai pedi and facial I had the lot!!! Also great snacks available from beach vendors the kids had sweetcorn and fresh mangos, pineapple and coconut daily for lunch, great. The bungalows are basic and a little dark not much space to store or unpack but for the cost what can you expect? They were clean and bug free! The beds were comfy and mosquito nets supplied. I would definately return here."

Lieke said, "We arrived with the notion of only staying for 5 days and ended up staying for an additional 6 nights. This was a wonderful location, the service and food were excellent and it felt like a home-away-from-home. Each day the staff, the dogs and the beaches welcomed us. Easy-going and friendly and close to all ammenities. We had a wonderful stay and would return at the drop of a hat. We met people who will remain life-long friends and have memories that will remain with us for the rest of our lives. The rooms are basic and clean and not to mention extremely well priced. If it is variety you are after, a quick walk up the beach allows you to experience other tastes, people and music - the view is always the same, exquisite. Who could ask for more."

Jacques said, "Nice and quiet place with very kind personnel. I had to deal with a few giant cockroachs in the small cottage room, but hey, this is Thailand !Nonetheless, the place is pretty hard to locate, and isolated : a vehicule is indispensable if you want to move around, even to reach the close (and wonderful) village of Bo Phut."

Robb said, "We loved the bungalow and the location. The restaurant is was a highlight, too. We noticed that people came from up and down the beach to eat here--and with good reason. Both the Thai and non-Thai dishes were the best food we ate on the island. Bophut is away from the crowds and noise of Chaweng, but still has enough around to be interesting. The accomodations are basic, but a good deal for the price--exactly what we were looking for!"

Sharon said, "Friendly staff and fantastic food. Rooms basic but comfortable. Make sure you ask for a room away from the ajoining bar or your room becomes somewhat of a nightclub!! I d definitely recommend this place."

Hanna said, "We had great time at Free Hau -bungalows. The staff was the best; friendly & relaxed. Food was delicious at the beachfront restaurant. Bungalows are basic but comfortable, well located from the quiet and beautiful beach. Atmosphere with the lovely dogs was great. This place was a real find and we sure will come back next year!!! ;)"

Reiner said, "rooms are basic and near to the beach quite noisy; friendly staff and good food;"

Mr. said, "Free House is paradise,very laid back,great location on the lovely beach of bophut,clean nice bungalow,the fruitshakes are outstanding and Od is a fantastic host.we sure will come back next year!Margrit and Christoph"

Monika said, "The houses are very small and simple, but clean. There is no roomservice. The prices are a little bit to high for that what you get, but the restaurant- food and drinks- are very good! Many many lovley dogs live in this resort and they make pipi on the beach. It s o.k. for a short time, but i have seen a lot of better resorts."
