    Nothing at all

    Dirk and Ohm were amazing hosts, the resort was beautiful and clean with very clean facilities such as the pool. They couldn't be more helpful on arrival with suggestions of activities and places to eat. Will definitely be returning when we come back.

    We had to leave:(

    So relaxing place in a small village, near the wild Mai Khao Beach. The host and his wife and all the staff were so kind and helpful. They even ordered the dinner for me, when I arrived in the late evening and was too tired to go out. Also Dirk gave so much useful information about everything. Thank you very much! The pool in the tropical garden was so nice, especially after the heat of the day. Very clean rooms, good wifi. 5 minutes walk to 7/11 and many good restaurants around. The Yum Yum restaurant near the beach was just fantastic... You can walk there (about 20 min) or take a tuk tuk or taxi.

    Nothing really. We were there to relax and we did. TV could be newer and easy to change the language from Russian to English. The outdoor, private area was bit of a waste as we didn't use it.

    The welcome from our host on the day. Quiet unit. Everything was in working order, including the air-conditioning. 10-15 minute walk to the beach, so not ideal for those who don't walk. You can bike though. Good food options - dine out or self cater. Great location in general for this end of Phuket. Close to the international airport.

    A smart TV would be fun, we were able to us youtube however we needed a VPN to cast our Netflix. Not a big issue! Dirk was very nice, however he does provide much of the conversation oriented towards his own beliefs and provides alot of opinions that he thinks are shared by everyone… and this may not the case. Very kind person and outgoing for his guests, he just needs to become more curious about his guests, ask question etc rather than rant for 15 mins 😜 about the issues of the current world!

    Clean, kitchen space, very spacious!

    The bathroom being non A/C. natural air. I know one of the owners sees this as a highlight just not what I like due to how hot it was and tending to not air out really. The kitchen could have a few more things. These are not any reasons to not book here, I would stay again.

    The host greeted me, it was all very clean, large room upgraded for free due to my 9 day stay. The POOL is fantastic. Never crowded and always clean! Housekeeping does a great job. Ohm and Dirk are a really nice couple and always available. They very much support local businesses and I did as well. They arranged a taxi for my departure to another hotel, the driver was really perfect and the owners have good connections and recommendations, they have put effort into this. The grounds are beautiful. Their cat is even friendly. I recommend renting a bike or scooter so you can explore more in the area.

    I liked that the owner had a greeting sign up and was waiting for me. The accommodation was really excellent. You had a living room, bedroom, separate bathroom and a small kitchen, amazing.

    If you're searching for crowds, laud paries and a big hotel with lots of people - this place is not for you! But if you feel ready to explore local vibe with guests becoming friends and owners your family. You don't want to miss this place of paradise! It is just 40min drive from Phuket International airport. ✔️clean, cosy and modern room, kitcen with equipment to cook, wide batroom with hot and cold water in the shower ✔️strong internet connection inside the room or in the garden ✔️ public pool with salty water. Some days me and my daughter felt that it's our private pool. We will always remember this pool as my daughter learned to swim there. Thankful to Dirk who teached a couple of triks that made the difference. ✔️you can order international breakfast (additionsl cost) what will be served in your room, terace or garden. Our favourite were porrage and pancakes. But in a walkable distance you can find other food choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacking. You can try also the thai dishes.  ✔️food stores, fruit stands and beach side is just around the little Mai Khao centre. Two main streets to explore. As I'm limited in my walking distance ✔️ a great addition was tuk tuk service (additional cost). You can arrange time and point of interest. ✔️be ready, you might be woken up by rooster, birds or dog songs. But this makes this place so natural and great.  ✔️even thought the airport is close. The sound level from airplain depends on the wind blowing. It didn't disturb us. Owners Dirk and Ohm are amazing! If you have questions or you don't know how to deal with the situation. Just feel free to ask. You'll find a solution. Freely speaking English, German and Thai languages. When flying into Phuket this is the place to  start with. Highly recomended!

    Honestly, the pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s absolutely spotless clean, quiet, serene and just everything you’d need to to relax. There are lots of restaurants nearby, a 7-eleven and mini big c for necessities. The beach is not crowded and it’s beautiful but the waves are a bit much for a small child (the pool at Orchidilla makes up for that). If you’re looking for a place to just enjoy your vacation without thousands of tourists, this is it. Would rate it higher of I could.

    there was nothing not to like. This is definitely a little bit of a remote location which suited us perfectly. The beach was the first and main reason we chose this property because we were looking for a long long beach where we could walk. The beaches that we found in the more touristy areas were very small. We absolutely loved the choice that we made to stay here!

    we absolutely loved staying here with Ohm & Dirk, on their beautiful property. we found the property to be immaculately clean, had everything we needed, the grounds were tranquil and inviting, we enjoyed the pool, we enjoyed the close walk to the beach at approximately 10 minutes, the walk to local little shops including 7-Eleven. They were local restaurants we could walk to. This is a very small village and we got to experience real Thai life here. There are market stars in the street. There are chickens and dogs close by. We absolutely loved the nature and being able to experience the none touristy side of Phuket.

    We found the check-in a little overwhelming with the amount of information given to us. I would have given the place a 10, but little things were missing for me such as a continuous supply of drinking water, basic cooking supplies (oil, salt, pepper) and basic kitchen cleaning supplies (sponge, washing up liquid, tea towel)... all things which can be supplied at little extra cost but at a high level of convenience for the guest.

    The owners were very kind and helpful. The apartment was very clean. It's close to the beach and in a quiet area.
