This place is incredible! Doesn't get any better than this. Clean and quiet rooms. Pool overlooking beautiful bamboo beach. The restaurant in inexpensive and has everything, including motorbikes for rent and a stunning view. It's a short walk down the hills from the hotel either way to world class beaches with bars and restaurants. I would live in this hotel if I could, maybe next time I will. I'm actually blown away by how great this place is and the view from the rooms is incredible and breathtaking. I'm scared the rest of my hotels on my trip are going to be sub par, this place set the bar so high. Highly recommend staying here, you can't beat it and the price.

We had a wonderful stay at Ma Lanta House!! First of all, the room was super spacious and comfy. The beds were comfy and the air conditioning worked great. The shower had a good pressure. Overall the room was neat and clean. We got water bottles, toilet paper and instant coffee refilled every day. The area around the hostel was pretty and the views especially from the pool were spectacular! The pool itself was nice and almost always empty so we had it completely to ourselves multiple times. The staff were friendly and they also managed a restaurant at the opposite side of the hotel. There was also another restaurant beside it and both served good thai food. The hotel is located nearby two beaches that are within walking distance. We got help from the staff for booking a transfer to the other side of the island at a fair price. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and would come back any day! 100% recommend.

The wifi was lagging sometimes.

Great location and small family run hotel. Friendly staff. Room's are spartan but ok, mine smelt a little damp from the bathroom. You're in a quiet and secluded area, which can also be a negative for transport unless you have a scooter.

2 issues. The rooms open out onto a walkway, so for privacy you'll need to keep your curtains drawn. Which means you don't really get to benefit from the beautiful views. And secondly, there's none of the infrastructure of a hotel (no reception etc). The restaurant below (run by the same family) is where you can book tours, order taxi etc. It meant there wasn't much of a social vibe in the hotel.

The bungalows are beautiful and the view is great, it’s very well priced. The pool is also clean and fantastic with great views. The beds are comfy, the location is beautiful and secluded and the rooms are spacious and lovely.

There is no reception as such and also nowhere to refill drinking water. The bathrooms quickly get very wet which if staying a few nights can mean they get a bit unclean. You have to find staff to ask for fresh towels if you can’t get them dry after a couple of days, they are very happy to help but as there is no reception it’s unclear where to ask.

We would like to express our deep gratitude for the exceptional stay we had at your establishment. What was initially planned as a two-night stay turned into an unforgettable six-night experience. Your hotel, perched high with a breathtaking view of Bamboo Beach, proved to be a true haven of peace. The tranquil location at the doorstep of the Kho Lanta Natural Reserve added a unique dimension to our stay, providing a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The adjacent restaurant became our go-to place, allowing us to savor delicious meals while appreciating the outstanding hospitality of your team. We sincerely thank you for this extraordinary experience. We will cherish lasting memories of our time at your place and hope to have the opportunity to return in the future. Thank you again for everything.

Amazing location that looks over a beach and beautiful views. Super friendly manager and staff who sorted us with bikes to get around the island. Amazing views, close to the national park. Next door and 5 minutes walking distance down the steep hill (you do need to walk on the road) to a really nice beach with a bar playing reggae and chilled tunes. We managed to see a full and proper sunset there. Also the hotel has a restaurant which does quality food, lots of people stop to eat there due to the views and food. There is also another restaurant next door which also does beautiful food and really nice staff. The pool is also a nice touch.

We LOVED our stay in Ma Lanta House! The owner was one of the nicest people we’ve met while travelling. He helped us rent bikes, was accomodating and just a breath of fresh air to be around. The views from the hotel were breathtaking and we couldn’t get enough of swimming in the picturesque pool. The beach was really just a few minutes walk away and was amazing as well, way less people than anywhere else on the island. With the motorbike we didn’t miss out on anything else on the island either, so we 100% would recommend visiting Ma Lanta House for a getaway you won’t forget.

Absolutely amazing place to experience the wilderness of Koh Lanta. Very lovely people, amazing views right from the room and it had everything for my basic needs. Just keep in mind that it's a fairly remote location, you do have some restaurants and shops that you can get to in a couple of minutes, but scooter is a must. I loved being detached from the crowd as previously I've been pretty overwhelmed with people in other locations in Thailand. Price/value ratio for this place is very high.

Wifi has been unusable, but that was pretty much the case with any other accommodation in Thailand. Better to buy a sim card and use mobile internet (reception was fine for True Move). Room #10 is below a nice tree, but when it's windy, things from the tree fall down on a tin roof, which can make some noise. Didn't bother me as much.

Excellent value for money. Simple but clean, sunny and comfortable room. Nice swimming pool with a stunning view of Bamboo Beach. Tasty Thai curries at the restaurant, which are not expensive. (There is unfortunately a big amount of plastic waste on Bamboo Beach. But we enjoyed going to Kantiang Bay with is approximately 10 minutes away if you have a scooter, or 45 minutes walk from the hotel. We also tried bicycling but the way was very hilly).

The staff is very welcoming, helpful and friendly, especislly the owner, he helped us out with everything we got in our heads (like renting scooters and booking boating tickets). Would absolutely recommend this place if you want some peace and quiet.

It is pretty far from everything (shops, restaurants, beach), so you'll need a scooter to get around.
