    Area around the hotel could do with a good clean up. Hotel is very clean.

    Beach and rooms are basic but good value for money. Sanit, is amazing and assisted us with all our needs Eddie always help with meals and drinks, always a smile. All staff are very polite and ready to help. The reception could be a bit friendly. You never get any conversation with them. But that is why they get a 9 and no 10. This is my second year back and can’t wait for next year. Quiet and our own private bay. Our type of location

    Mosquitoes but it’s Thailand and you’re in a rustic setting so come prepared with long sleeved, loose clothing and insect repellent. There are steps and slopes to the cabins. This didn’t bother us but it may not suit some guests.

    A great resort for families and mature guests looking for something laidback, rustic and clean. Its not 5 star but nor is it too hippie. You can walk along the headland to the busier resorts too.

    Lots of mosquitoes as soon as the sun goes down!! The bungalows are old and a bit worn. Bathrooms and especially showers are of minimum standards. Most Sunbeds are reserved already between 6 and 7am. The breakfast is simple (no bacon for example, and only pineapple and watermelon for fresh fruits).

    The location is great. A little further away from the main beach and crowds but still close enough. A very relaxed armosphere and beautiful beach. The bungalows are cute and surrounded by lots of green. The hotel restaurant has a wide menu and prices are very reasonable. In the evening it’s cosy with candles on the tables and lights hanging from the tree.

    A friendly, relaxing and quiet resort with a good beach to spend time enjoying the island.

    Improve the language skills of the non-Thai staff, who do much of the work around the resort. More taxi's to the resort for easier travel around the rest of the island. Fix the wifi reception which was patchy at times and especially our Netflix connection on the bungalow TV which only worked for a couple of days out of the week, much to our teenage daughter's regret. The staff tried to fix it a few times but it was definitely dodgy.

    Tubtim was a friendly, inviting place to stay in a quiet location with its own beach, which we enjoyed daily and was better and cleaner than most others we visited. The bungalow was clean and met all our needs, as well as being in a quiet location at the top of the property with no foot traffic. Breakfast was included and was pretty good, with a range of buffet options to suit. Restaurant and bar food/drinks were fresh, tasty and well priced. Staff were friendly and helpful, although a number of them were not Thai and had some language difficulties, but the senior Thai staff stepped up every time to assist. Facilities were limited, but again met our needs and overfall we enjoyed the week's stay at Tubtim.

    Fabulous tropical beach resort for families an couples, but be aware of mosquitos!

    The hut was ok, but the only place to sit is outside, and that can be very warm and humid. A fan outside would really help. Also a light under the seating would make the space outside more usable in the evenings. Inside the hut there were no where to sit. Even the bed is off the wall, so you cannot put your pillows up to sit in the bed. Also, the bed is very hard, even by asian standard. Regarding the beach recliners; a matress would make it much more comfortable. I see other resorts on the Island have it, why not tubtim? Somehow mosquitos are very attracted to me, and in this location they were extremely fond of me, and using spray didnt mind them a bit. Regarding Koh Samed island; You do see the over-tourism when taking the songtaw from the pier to your resort. There is a lot of garbage laying around in the living areas inbetween the resorts. I was kind of shocked.

    Very beautiful tropical island vibes. The staff was very friendly, and refered to me by my first name from day one. White sandy beach, warm water. Paradise! :) Aircon in hut was good, and the warm water in the shower was nice. The food in the bar/restaurant was over my expectations!

    I would have liked the bed to be turned around so it wasnt right up against the wall, which meant I had no other way of getting out of the bed but to climb out at the end.

    The food was excellent and the staff were lovely. The location, right on a pretty sandy beach was just what I had hoped for.

    We would have liked two (soft) chairs in our room - not just on the balcony.

    Very laid back, not super commercialized, friendly and a lovely beach. Water was really clean, lots of beach loungers (even in the shade). Great staff always good humoured and happy to help. The BBQ ribs were really good and banana Nutella rotis on the beach a real treat.
