I liked the laid back location! Being tucked away in the jungle was a nice change of scenery 👌I was the only guest in the whole place, do this was a bug plus too! Easy to rent motorbike, perfect like general store shop for all your Thai goodies and great coffee and breakfast. Then I was able to take a 10 min walk or 5 - 7 motorbike drives all over the North and South and ending on very peaceful and serene beaches. The staff was in top of good service and was helpful in booking a very reasonable local bus to catch my transport to Hat Yai.

I really liked how friendly everyone was. Breakfast was delivered every morning to my room and the rooms were in a nice and quiet environment to relax. I would stay here again if i came back to Khao Lak!

There is not so much to do around the Hotel if you dont have a scooter or car but they rent schooters so that shouldn´t be a problem :)

very nice rooms with excellent facilities, breakfast order was taken the night before so all I had to do was walk into the breakfast area and my order was brought down to me within minutes

TV was not connected to the internet and no tv channels

good price-service ratio, good location, beautiful garden, peace and quiet

there could have been more choice for breakfast

Very Nice bungalow clean and very quiet

very loud chicken’ s sound at the morning, impossible to sleep,

nice small and local, very clean and very nice staff

couldn’t say a bad word about it

The mini villas are situated in a garden adjacent to a small river. The garden is well maintained and a very basic breakfast is brought to the villa's porch in the morning at a mutually agreed time. The portions are a bit on the small side, especially for vegetarians but maybe I'm just a big breakfast eater :-) The small-scale setting of only 9 villas is the main charm of this location compared to the many big resorts directly situated next to the beach. The family that owns the garden villas also operates a restaurant which can be reached directly from the garden via a small footpath next to villa no. 1

The bungalows were big, clean and really comfortable and the garden surrounding them is beautiful. The area is a bit remote, so its pretty quiet, which we appreciated.

The hosts behaviour turned kinda passive aggressive after we asked for an early breakfast to go for our tour. (For which we actually paid...) A pity, since the location was really nice but we didn't feel welcome anymore after our impudent request.

We travel full time and have stayed in hundreds of hotels and resorts so far, but the Garden Villa experience is one of the top 3 strange experiences 1. The chubby young woman who manages the location is the type of passive aggressive personality, bored and tired. (you will find this characterization in other comments as well). That type of person who was born bored. You understand what I mean... 2. Scooters can be rented at the location. If you are going to rent one, maximum vigilance! Check the fuel tank carefully because it is handed over to you empty (0.5 l) and then claims it was full. We suffered the following fact: I received the scooter with 0.5 l of gasoline, but on the documents it was written that it was full. So be very vigilant, scams are practiced at this location! 3. Breakfast that is included is a real curse. You must clearly specify every day the time at which you serve it. There is no clear range. 4. In principle, the administrators of this property would prefer not to serve breakfast because it is more profitable for them, so they will do everything to get you to give it up yourself. In conclusion, the big problem of this location is the unfriendly staff and atmosphere. Pros: It's clean, the rooms are clean and confortable
