Smile House Resort

Anonymous said, "Very nice and tidy hotel. Good restaurant and overall good service. Recommended."

Janet said, "Smile House is wonderfully located in Fisherman s Village, Koh Samui. It is basic, but neat and clean. The beds were comfortable and there was a fair selection of western TV stations to fall asleep to! Breakfast was all that was needed (not a huge selection, but certainly enough for a good meal) Lunch and dinner menus and food was excellent. Fresh, appetising and well presented. The staff were all freindly and the rooms were cleaned very quickly and efficiently in the mornings. I unfortunatly learned of the death of my father whilst I was there and had difficulty trying to get back to Singapore from Koh Samui as all the flights were full. Whilst the hotel staff tried to help, I felt that they could have been a bit more forthcoming with suggestions and assistance. I do understand though, that this was a situation out of the norm, and people didn t quite know what to do. All in all, I would recommend Smile House as a great and restful place to stay. Good value for money too."

LOUET said, "Very pleasant stay in a comfortable, spacious hotel, situated in a paradisiac place. Very good service and adorable staff. To recommend and stay to begin again"

Tracy said, "Absolutely wonderful. Lush gardens, clean and inviting swimming pool areas, lovely beach bar and restaurant serving very reasonably priced and enticing food but most of all clean and spacious bungalows and villas. And a major plus point they were serviced everyday no matter what time we stumbled out of bed.Would most certainly recommend this place to friends and family.Tracy, April 2008"

Mr said, "Great peaceful place with very helpful and friendly staff. Been before and will go again."

Bethany said, "Very friendly staff, immaculate and comfortable rooms and a beautiful setting. I would definitely recommend it to friends and will certainly be back to stay."

Mats said, "We were two adults and two children (8 & 11 YO) staying in a deluxe bungalow just outside the pool and near the reception. The room was lovely and there were no problem to sleep three in the big bed. The staff was very good - especially the staff in the restaurant. Very polite and eager to serve well! The location is probably the best in Bophut area - very close to the beach and Fisherman Village. We will definitely return to Smile House if we revisit Bophut."

Terri said, "Absolutely loved our 7 night stay at Smile House Resort. Rooms were really clean and comfortable, staff very helpful, gardens a tropical paradise and both pools in excellent condition. It was very quiet - no trolleys rolling down the path or noisy vacuum cleaners when staff doing the cleaning. We loved eating at the restaurant with beautiful views straight out over the ocean - we plan to return to Smile House again."

Orcel said, "Smile House Resort is a very nice hotel. Staff are nice and very efficient. No problem at this hotel. Breakfast, bungalows, swimming pool, garden every thing is nice and clean. Thanks to all the staff for their kind attention. ( Signed by a group of 21 people...)"

Berry said, "A very pleasant hotel, bungalows very comfortable and friendly staff. A good restaurant and breakfast.I would recommend this hotel.A nice place to stay."

Eva said, "This hotel was perfekt for us, a family with two children 8 and 5. We two bathrooms! We pool was excellent. The whole village was nice and cosy, not like hectic Chaweng!If we come back to Samui, we will definately stay at Smile house!"

Miss said, "Really pretty hotel. We only comfortable. The breakfast which was in the price was delicious. We loved the place and it was a shame we didn t stay longer. The gardens were pretty and the swimming pool gorgeous :) I can t say much about the area as we only ferry with her to Koh Phangan and became quite abrupt when we said we can do it ourselves.....commission maybe? Apart from that, lovely, enjoy your stay :)"

D. said, "very good, good value for money. We a rather large veranda) which was very comfortable for us with 2 young kids. The beach is not the best of Samui, but OK for us. Resort has a nice and good beach restaurant in the evening.Bophut is a nice village for a stay of several days with enough shops and restaurants.Beautiful garden with 2 pools, however I hate the behaviour of claiming a chair with towels before breakfast, and just use it later that day....I would recommend this resort to everybody."

Bo said, "Clean, well organised. Visited in ´06. Bohput has changed, now very FRENCH. Foodprices has doubled. Will NOT come back. Very dissapointed. Bad value for money. Beach much better elsewhare."

Mogens said, "Nice deluxe bungalows,cleen, and good service. Location is good, the restaurant is good but a little expencive. Some noise from the jazzuci infront of our room. And some heavy nigth party with loud music from danish students staying at the resort.A little too bad as we clould not enjoy the nice warm evenings on our terrase, because of the party going on next door. I would recoment Smile house to tell guests that this has turned into a heighschool.We might as well have surroundings are fantastic, great swimming pools, bars, restaurant and most of all brilliant staff. We would highly reccommend this hotel and will definately be returning."

Henning said, "The room was very dark -and the last house,but we lived there 2 years ago,and it was okay then,but not so good now this time-very dark. The breakfast is not so god ,but from the hotel in the morning you have a nice view..fam.Rasmussen Denmark"

KIM said, "Service was great. When we arrived there it was very early morning. The manager gave us complementary meal coupon(breakfast) while we were waiting for check-in time. We were staying at SM1 which was very well-maintained and very clean."

Matthew said, "Great resort! Nice, quiet, family-friendly facilities. Nice bungalos. Good breakfast that is included. The beach in front of the resort isn t great, but the 2 pools make up for this."

Trisha said, "This hotel is very family friendly, very convenient with several different kinds of restaurants within a 5 minute walk. Not much of a beach, but two beautiful, clean pools. Would definately stay here again."

Kurt said, "Very nice resort with 2 swimming pools wonderfully surrounded with palm trees. Good restaurant with very good service. Nice beach."

Kylee said, "We recently married in Bo Phut and based all our friends and family at Smile Guest House. It was a perfect location - Smile is even nicer in reality than in the pictures, has superb staff, spacious clean comfortable rooms, a fantastic pool, great breakfasts, and the sea is lapping on your doorstep. Bo Phut is the perfect base for a holiday and Smile is just at the end of the village, so all in all this hotel excellent, great value for money, and highly recommended by us. On an added note, one of our group was badly injured in a boating accident and could not travel for some weeks - Smile went beyond the call of duty to help during a stressful time."

Debbie said, "The best value resort in Bophut. Lovely peaceful pool, plenty of sunloungers to go round! Superior bungalow fully kitted out - would recommend....even came with resident furry cat to smooth on the veranda!"

Natasha said, "Smile was fantastic - very good value for money. Bungalows were clean and smart, gardens provided beatiful tropical setting, swimming pools were fantastic and very clean, staff were friendly and efficient. Overall, a great place to stay in a good location. Would definitely recommend."

Glenda said, "We are now back home after travelling through Laos and Cambodia when we left Smile House.We most of the guests very happy to recommend them to anyone wanting a great place to stay at very resanable rates.The whole complex from rooms to grounds, pools and restaurant were of a high standard and staff friendly and accommodating when a relative was injured and needed extra assistance.I would have no hesitation in recommeding a stay at Smile House whether for a group, family or couple."

Kerry said, "When I first arrived my first thought when I walked into our room was that it didn t quite look like how I remembered it in the photos on the internet. However it didn t take long to appreciate what a great place it is to stay at. Firstly I found the staff incredibly helpful and friendly and they kept the entire place, gardens and pool included, immaculate. It was just on the edge of the main shops in Bo Phut, so a very short walk to the local restaurants and shops. The beach was just across the road if you wanted to take a dip in the sea but with 2 gorgeous pools at the Resort we found we swam in the pools instead. Smile House have a restaurant also where breakfast is served as a buffet and the cost of breakfast is included in the cost of the room which is fantastic. The staff at the restaurant were always welcoming and provided fantastic service every time that we ate and drank there.I would highly recommend Smile House Resort as a place to stay."

Carolyn said, "Great value for money. Rooms were clean and well maintained set in lovely gardens. Both pools were excellent with beach across the road. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Excellent location with shops restuarants and bars of Fishermans village on the doorstep. Would reccommend Frog and Gecko with good food and friendly staff. The beach as Bohput is OK but worth going to Chewang as the beach there is far superior and lively approx 15 mins by taxi. Overall would highly recommend this resort."

clive said, "The Smile House is absolutely fantastic. My wife and I perfect for a chill out. The gardens are superb and we found the staff to be happy and very helpful. We recommend the breakfast in the restaurant and had several excellent evening meals in there. Mr Chow and the staff there were great fun and very friendly. Overall the Smile House is excellent value for money and better than some hotels we have again. TOPS"

Phan said, "We it exceeded expectations! It was just what we were afterAwesome!!! Great value... beautiful bungalows with lovely bathrooms, comfortable beds and heaps of space! Pool is wonderful with heaps of sun loungers... Restaurant is amazing... right on the beach. Beautiful landscaped gardens, quiet setting.Staff were extremely friendly and we will definatley be staying here again.Its not in the hustle bustle of Koh Samui but we loved Bophut and Fishermans Village.Highly reccomend this place"

Miss said, "We only clean. Rooms were of a high standard and very good size. In the heart of the lovely Bophut Fisherman Village and its lovely restaurants."

Merete said, "We just have en exelent stay at salad hut koh phangan. A very nice,quiet and beatiful resort,placed right on the beach. Good place for snorkeling,and sunset walking on the beach.The resort makes brilliant food, homemade icecream etc. We will bee back next year. See you !"

Christopher said, "No trouble checking in. Nice room, just wished they had a bathtub. Had dinner at the beach restaurant. A bit pricey but the location was beautiful and the food was good. Hotel is right across the street from the beach so it s convenient for an ocean swim"

LINDA said, "Great value for money, great location right by the beach in Fishermans Village. Friendly helpful staff, bungalow a bit dated but very clean with comfy bed and good facilities."

Anne said, "Very nice resort. Clean rooms, beautiful garden and very friendly staffs. Our family terrece bungalo was at the end of the garden, so the rooms are a bit dark, maybe because the roof is dark wood? Couple lamps in the room would help though. Anyway we enjoyed our stay, our 4 year old daughter had great fun at the pools."

Anne said, "Fantastic! Enjoyed 8 days in this lovely resort. Arrangement of the chalets within a beautiful garden environment made for a very pleasing and secluded location. It was constantly maintained by friendly, polite staff who also managed to be unimposing. Reception staff were always welcoming and helpful. I’d booked a 2 bedroom luxury terrace (for family of 4) but we also had 2 bathrooms which I hadn’t expected. Space was ample and the interior was of a good standard inc. efficient air con. Chalet was made up daily with clean sheets and towels (bath and pool). Only two points for improvement: we were in a corner terrace and so the ‘lounge�room and balcony were very dark (brighter light bulbs would have helped but didn’t think to ask!), also the ‘lounge�area was just that �there was a TV, fridge and facilities for making tea and coffee (you need to provide your own) but no sink! so you have to go to the bathroom to rinse cups, wash fruit etc - only 3 bed chalets have a kitchenette Smile House restaurant is just across a small road, overlooking a beautiful beach. Breakfast offered a wide choice and usually got us through the day with no need for anything else substantial before an evening meal. During our stay we ate there twice in the evening, enjoying the beautiful beach location. Prices were middle of the range and I thought the food was better than the ‘Happy Elephant� I’d also recommend the ‘Blue Samui�(turn left out of Smile and follow beach road up to main road) and one of the two indian restaurants (turn right out of Smile, then on the right towards end of the village). There’s also a great pancake maker at the junction where the entry road meets the beach road!The general Bophut area suited us well. There were plenty of other holiday makers but it easily managed to seem quiet and relaxed. We would definitely go to Bophut and Smile House again!"

Peter said, "Excellent value for money, friendly staff, good open restuarant with plenty of seating on the beach and relaxing singer at night."

Liz said, "Lovely place, would highly recommend it, great swimming pool (1 small and 1 large) and beautiful gardens. We there were lots of kids about which can be noisy at times. Smile is in a great spot, just on edge of Bophut fishermans village where there are pubs,restaurants, shops etc, but not noisy from them. Beach good for us as deep to swim in but may not be great for kids. plenty of other ones nearby though.Staff friendly, good taxi service to airport at 4.45 am. Restaurant a little expensive though, but so is most food on Samui.All in all very happy"

Henk said, "We hebben een erg ontspannen verblijf gehad in Smile House Resort; het is een park dat vlak aan zee ligt, met een stuk of veertig verschillende soorten huisjes in een mooie tropische tuin, waar ook 2 zwembaden in liggen. Wij hadden zo n grote met 3 slaapkamers (3 tieners met hun ouders); prima service; goed ontbijt; badhanddoeken werden zelfs elke dag vervangen. Het park ligt ook erg prettig, aan de rand van Bo Phut. Als je rechts het resort uit loopt, zit je direct in een gezellige straat met tientallen cafés en restaurants, en het park zelf is stil. Super gewoon. Er waren in deze periode franse, engelstalige, nederlandse en een paar duitse gasten."

R.A. said, "Very nice Resort. Very beautiful bunglows. We had two: one for the kids with two bedrooms (bathroom each) and living room and one for us: bedroom and bathroom. Both bungalows have a nice terrace. Airco is working well. Garden is beautiful and the bungalows are situated in this garden. Sea not far. Two small swimming pools. Restaurant OK. Breakfast OK, but no oriental breakfast however.Rolf van Hees - Managing Director Impacta"

Cindy said, "Great resort so close to the fishermans village. The rooms were cleaned daily by very friendly staff. We it was more than adequate for us. The breakfast was basic buffet style, and provided everything that our family needed. The location of the resort was fabulous, Bo Phut is perfect for families, couples or people just wanting to take a break from the hussle and bustle, yet action is only 10 mins down the road by bus or taxi. There is also a great selection of restaurants both Thai and Western and massage parlours both on the beach and air conditioned everywhere.The beach was not all that great but once again 10-15 mins down the road are some lovely beaches - which was great for a morning out. We got very little hassle from sellers on the beach in Po Phut but in Chaewang they won t leave you alone. 2 pools to choose from (one of whcih was being retiled for most of the time we were there). Lots of other children at the resort to help entertain our kids. I would thoroughly recommend this resort to anyone wanting to relax while on holiday on Koh Samui!!"

Anders said, "A very good resort with a fantastic staff (reception,cleaners, gardeners,restaurant,tour desk, etc ).The bungalows are well kept and clean and so are the 2 pools aswell. A fine garden, good breakfast, well situated in Bophut (Fisherman Village) close to other restarants and bars.We booked a Family chalet (5 persons)with 2 bedrooms & baths and 1 livingroom. Air-condition in all rooms and a fan outside on the terrace keept us cool all the time, perfect.Bophut is a more quit and calm place if you compare with Chaweng but it takes only 15 minutes with taxi if you want to go there. We strongly recommend this resort and we will resturn for sure if we go back to Samui again."

Brian said, "Always a pleasure to stay there. This is our 4th time in 2 years! Rooms excellent and meet our needs perfectly.Very clean, friendly professional staff. Love the gardens and pools always clean. Also enjoy a chat with the owners often."

Frank said, "We were very pleased with our stay at Smile house. We were a family of 6 persons, 2 adult and 4 children between 6 and 18 years old, from Norway. We came a bit out of season - there were not many guests the first week. We rented a luxary family bungalow. This was next to the pool, which both children and adults found praktical. There was water in just one of the pools, the other was under rehab. The staff was very helpful and frendly. The breakfast was god enough, and the restaurant was ok. We didnt find any better place than Bohput and Smile House to stay for us. We would like to come back to Smile House when and if we come back to Koh Samui."

Kate said, "Smile House - excellent bungalow. Very clean, great service by very friendly staff. Excellent restaurant / cafe attached to hotel with really lovely breakfasts and fabulous views across the water. Very peaceful. The gardens, and pool are brilliant at Smile House - only downside was one of the pools was closed just after I arrived to be retiled. Would definitely stay again. Really lovely township and not frenetic."

Gervase said, "exellent, freindly staff very clean not overcrowded nice food good location to beach and lovely village.The best we have seen for that reasonable price range.10/10"

Charles said, "My wife, Connie, and I 11 nights at the Smile House. Our stay was wonderful. The facilities were great. All of the staff was friendly. Enough of the staff spoke enough English that there was no problems with understanding or being understood. The service was excellent and we had no complaints. The food at the Smile House Restaurant was also excellent. We will not hesitate to spend another vacation on Koh Samui at the Smile House."
