didn’t provide washing up liquid, cloth or tea towel. would have Benefited from an enclosed bathroom bin as you can’t put paper in toilet.

clean spacious and quiet

Stayed in March 2023

Dirty bathroom, or maybe old and looks dirty.. I was a bit offended because we booked for two people and 12 year old son. There was a sofa bed..very small, but ok..One thing I asked..a spare sheet, just to cover the sofa. Owner told me he does not have one. Hej, you are running resort, and don't have sheets...shame..

Nice surroundings, garden, flowers..good bed

the villa is quite old,didn't have hot water first night the location is a bit behind you have to take the rubbish to a different location 5-10 min walking at the end you have to pay energy bill (first time in my life when I do that in holiday)

nice warm welcome from David, who showed me around and explained me everything. the villa is nice and spacious good for families with children,bed was very comfortable

Really good value for money, David and Ying were very helpful, pool was clean, fisherman's village was a 10 minute walk away.

Stayed in October 2022

The pool area was close by, but could do with a little TLC. You could walk to nearby hotels if you wanted a pool with a bar etc

The villa was great. Communication beforehand great, location great, but a car would be advantageous. There is a driver available should a taxi be needed. Wifi also good. Plenty of space for 3 of us. Thank you so much

Bathrooms were not so clean, but it was worth the price ✌️

.Nice place with big swimming pool, quite atmosphere and privacy. Close to nice beaches. Owner is veru helpfull.

Stayed in April 2022

Could have used a small pot for cooking. Other than that the kitchen was well equipped. The shower wand in the bathroom off the kitchen is calcified and needs to be replaced. These are my only minor nit picks.

The roominess, the location, the lack of traffic noise. David and Ying were great hosts.

Water pressure was very low,a challenge even to do the most simplest of task,washing a plate.Facility seems run down with little maintenance.However the owners were kind and did their best to resolve faults quickly.

The greenery

The Villa is cozy, clean and very convenient for the family of 4. Available parking area, very calm environment. BUT the most impressive and very welcoming are the owners David and Ying! They are very nice and supportive during the whole vacation! Highly and definitely recommend!

Standard villa (45a) - semidetached; front deck with patio table and 2 chairs. Other villas are available, and I cannot comment as to their quality. Inside - lounge/diner/kitchen; double bedroom; shower room. Wifi. TV - screen only - HDMI cable supplied for you to play your own media(?); usual selection of kitchen equipment - all old, nothing much matched; toaster and microwave very old and stained - but worked. Cleanliness - questionable. I don't consider the villa to be clean. Whilst the flat surfaces were clean, the overall fabric of the villa was very dirty. Pictures tell the story of a dirty, very shabby, outdated wooden bungalow. The bathroom tiles are quite confronting as they have some kind of damp staining coming through from the back. This is something noted by a previous reviewer from the spring of 2022. An known issue, yet to be resolved by the owners. The shower curtain was badly stained at the bottom and clearly had not been changed in a long time. The extractor fan was shocking. To be clear, the villa is not serviced in any way. There are no cleaning materials, be prepared to supply your own washing up liquid, cloths etc. Two plastic bags were supplied for waste. Waste had to be bagged up and taken off site for disposal - as often as necessary. No welcome pack of coffee/tea/sugar. One bottle of water supplied - the rest is up to you. Electricity is charged separately - you will get a bill on your penultimate day, rate is reasonable. The owners are happy to give advice on where to go on the island and where to eat. Cafe 69 is worth a visit. Ying was a tour guide and is full of useful information. Car hire can be arranged very locally - but there is no discount given (although this was alluded to by the owners). Neo Travel at the end of the side road, can provide a taxi service to and from the airport and anywhere else you wish to go to on the island.

dirty and unpleasant

nothing really

Stayed in September 2022

The place was perfect with a lovely pool but undoubtedly the best thing about staying here was the hosts. Ying and David are so helpful and friendly and cannot do enough for you. They are always on hand to advise and act like it is no problem at all. They make it feel like you're staying with family. They even offered to take us places if they were going out and showed us some excellent restaurants and cafes. When we moved onto another place my daughter was unwell and they still offered advice and support even though we weren't staying with them. I really would advise staying here 🙂

It was perfect! Nothing to say at all!

Ying et David were very nice to me, they give me real good advices, and take really good care of me! My villa was very clean, it was a pleasure to stay at Reuan Phaolai ! Thank you very much!

Stayed in August 2022

nothing

We moved out stay at Reuan Phaolai. The villa was exactly what we needed for our family of 5. the best part though was our host Ying. Ying went above and beyond for our family and really let us feel and see what Samui is like- more than just a tourist location. highly recommend

Outstanding place

Stayed in January 2022

We read previous reviews and booked this place, We travelled all the way from London with 2 kids was expecting great place to stay ,Unfortunately, it started day-1 ,we are told electric bill will be separately charged at the end of our stay which was 9 days total we booked .! They said they will charge for extra bed although we booked a king bed and two sofa beds for 4 of us. I said OK.  There was a tv but not working, we are told children can use Internet to watch something on mobile phones..:) kitchen equipment, table ,chairs, the wooden shed house was for a couple not a family ,unfortunately I paid in advance and did not want to create problem while I am on holiday . Day -2 shower problem started, very hot or cold ,dangerous for children to set the temperature, then no electric at all ,frequently different problems they had to sort it out . Day-3 , no daily cleaning ,they don't supply anything for general cleaning ,even no hand wash soap or shampoo ,even rubbish bag, you have to carry your rubbish bag to the main road by yourself .. Day-4 , our breakfast time again electric gone ,my wife in the middle of shower ,we have to go out for breakfast .and same day  decided early check out ,found much better place to stay in Lamai Beach area By the way , the area where this property you have Manem beach ,bophut beach and fisherman village is not pleasant to sit on or swim ,dirty sand beaches and very rough see ,not good for children . Best areas are Lepa noe beach ,lamai beach and  bong pa is very good for families. Don't book a taxi over travel agent or this property ,they charge a lot then original , this property charged me 500 baht for 10km ,10 minutes drive ,while I was charged by a yellow taxi for 35 minutes drive ,25km only 320baht..

I wish I could write something I like apart from WiFi connection. We are very disappointed
