The staff was super friendly. Rooms super clean. We stayed for 4 days. The hotel has reopened 6 months ago due to covid, but everything looks in great shape. The restaurant and massage at the hotel are too overpriced, but you get a very nice breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place.

I had a wonderful stay at The Kala Samui. The view was absolutely magical, and the hotel itself felt both simple and elegant. The location was convenient, and everything was easy to reach. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a beautiful place with stunning views and great atmosphere – highly recommend!

Rats in the room

The stay was overall good. The hotel and our room had a great view. Price was also very reasonable. The bad thing was that generally the room was quite worn and needed cleaning. There was also only 1 rubbish bin in the toilet which is not enough. When we were sleeping we could hear gnawing at one of our sealed snack bags so this meant there were rats in the room. I managed to take a video and showed it to the receptionist and she was pretty nonchalant about it and apologized but didn’t seem like she cared so it was definitely not the first time she has heard complaints about rats in their room.

Helt underbart ställe! Bodde ett dygn i villa nr 4 med egen pool och havsutsikt och det va det bästa vi bott. Hörlig fin planlösning och privat läge. Vi blev uppgraderade av jättefin, hjälpsam och trevlig personal. Ett stort plus för maten i restaurangen, rekommenderar carbonaran. Fin och bra frukost. En underbar vistelse, 10/10.

Das Hotel ist wunderschön an einem Abhang gelegen. Der Ausblick auf das Meer ist überragend. Zum Banden eignet sich der Pool sehr gut. Der Einstieg ins Meer ist jedoch sehr kompliziert und würde ich nur zum Schnorcheln empfehlen. Das Personal war stets sehr hilfsbereit und nett. Einziges Manko ist die laute Straße, die man doch immer wieder deutlich hört.

Koh Samui en famille

Un endroit extraordinaire; l’hôtel est à flanc de montagne et la vue est spectaculaire. Le personnel est au petit soin avec les clients. L’hôtel est calme, propre et magnifique. Les chambres sont spacieuses, propres et confortables. Les déjeuners sont délicieux. Ils préparent des cafés chaud et glacés. Le resto du soir est digne d’un grand restaurant thaïlandais. La piscine est propre mais il n’y a pas beaucoup de chaises.

Je ne renouvellerai pas

Nous avons séjourné au Kala Hôtel et l’expérience a été mitigée. Du côté positif, la chambre est très belle, la décoration soignée et moderne. La vue est tout simplement splendide et la piscine magnifique, parfaite pour se détendre et profiter du cadre. En revanche, l’insonorisation est vraiment à revoir : nous avions l’impression de dormir au bord d’une autoroute, ce qui a fortement gâché nos nuits. De plus, le petit déjeuner est beaucoup trop léger et ne correspond pas aux attentes pour un établissement de ce standing. En résumé, un hôtel visuellement très agréable mais avec des points essentiels à améliorer pour offrir une expérience complète et reposante

So I booked this place a couple weeks ago for a 2 night stay. It looked beautiful on there website as well as Expedia, and without hesitation even though it was on the pricey end, I paid $507 for a two night stay for the duplex pool villa, without breakfast. I was expecting it to be like how they had it in the pictures, however, the place is super run down and looked nothing like what is does in pictures. At certain time of the night they would turn off electricity, the lights work but I couldn’t charge my phone all night. It’s really dead in the resort, I feel like no one was there except for three other couples. The “resort” was right off the side of what seems to look like the main road, resort doesn’t offer transportation besides from/to airport or pier. Everything is far from hotel and must use some type of transportation, walking was dangerous because it’s the main road and they’re driving pretty fast, we tried and it was scary. You can take a transportation that is similar to a tuk tuk and they usually charge per person 50baht I believe. The closest beach is 10mins driving, there is also another close one that you have to kayak through the rough waves and rocks which is a no no for me, I’m not that adventurous.Food was another hard thing to find, even though they do offer food there in the resort. View was beautiful, but the resort was definitely not worth the money, especially in Thailand. USD can get you so much more luxurious places and this was not one of them.

Pro: Freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen, nette Annehmlichkeiten (täglich frisches Trinkwasser im Zimmer, Badetücher für den Strand, Frühstücksbox bei Abreise vor der Frühstückszeit, Shuttle in die Umgebung), Wifi funktioniert einwandfrei. Contra: Die Anlage müsste mal renoviert werden, teilweise sehr verwittert. Die Zimmer können nur mit einem Vorhängeschloss gesichert werden. Schimmel in der Dusche und ständig Gekkos im Zimmer. Abends/Nachts schläft man mit dem Bass aus irgendeiner benachbarten Location ein. Oder auch nicht.

What a truly magical stay! We booked the private deluxe villa for our honeymoon for 7 nights and we had the authentic Thai experience that we had hoped for! The resort and amenities were exceptional, the staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating. Our room exceeded expectations, it was big enough, had an incredible private pool and views of the ocean, the bed was comfy and huge and the bathroom, so beautiful with a huge deep soaking bathtub. We purchased a rate with breakfast, lunch and dinner included and I would highly recommend as the food was fantastic and there were enough variety of options (mostly Thai, except breakfast) on the menu (separate menu). Note: in room dining and drinks are not included in the deal. Also, during our stay, we booked a traditional Thai massage at the Spa onsite (wow!), a private dinner on the rocks with private butler service (must do!), a private Thai cooking class (such a fun experience) and a day trip booked through the hotel to Angthong Islands (highly recommend). There is no direct beach access from the hotel but you can go swimming or snorkelling from the hotel off the rocks onsite, however, a sandy beach is very easily accessible via a 5 min walk from the hotel cutting through the resort next door (Coral Cliff Beach Resort). The purpose of our stay was to spend most of our time relaxing at the resort and the resort was just enough away from the hustle and bustle but not too secluded (approx. 15-20 min drive into town). Thank you!
