Samatha Bed & Breakfast

We ate breakfast here and it was amazing!! We tried pancakes, waffles, french toast, and fruit salad. The food is also very cheap, and the wait was super short. The surroundings are so pretty and we sat here for a while and enjoyed. Everything was 10/10. Staff is supernice too!!

Aside to the 2 ladies who worked there that were friendly and the 2 cats who lounged around, I would think twice about returning. We booked a total of 5 nights as we were in KOH Tao for diving so we thought it’ll be fine since most of our time was spent outside anyway. The wifi was unstable throughout our entire stay, the vent in the toilet (which isn’t small) has no mosquito net so you need to close your toilet door to prevent any from entering. So if you’re considering to stay, I highly recommend bringing a mosquito coil or net along. The mosquitoes are not playing here. Also, the AC power is pretty weak and the power went out in the middle of the night for over an hour on our final night. It was only in our hotel as the rest of the places had their lights on around. This meant we couldn’t charge our devices, tried to sleep in the warmth with every door/window shut since there were no nets from preventing mosquitoes in. It was a terrible feeling. I read a few reviews about the lack of sound proofing, absolutely spot on. On our second night there was a group that came back around 3am (either lived above us or next to us) and you could hear every single word that there were shouting and singing as they continued to party on for 30minutes so we were kept awake. As always, you are at the mercy of your neighbours (beyond your control) so if you’re a light sleeper like us, I would recommend somewhere else. We ordered scrambled eggs and toast for one of our breakfast and it was dry and tasteless. They did leave 2 bottles of water and a roll of toilet paper every day outside our room, so whilst they didn’t change the towels or bedding; you could definitely use the toilet every day. Post Covid, sure every one is trying to get back to the new normal; but there are bare basics that this place cannot get right. Bottom line : if you would like a daily adventure in your room every day go forth, if you need solid rest in the quiet; then think twice.
