The Staff was super helpful and very friendly. The room pictures didn't quite match up to the rooms, but the room was clean, daily service was great, but my balcony faced another building, not the beach. No notice about that.

I never leave a bad review. As I physically disabled person I was very disappointed when I arrived at the hotel. No elevator, only stairs. No help from the staff to get the bags up the stairs. I ended up having to book another hotel within the hour because this was not what I wanted nor was expecting to pay for, especially for the price. No refund either nor help due to the staff being uncooperative. Very poor conditions, smelled bad, screaming heard all night and it literally felt like a homeless shelter.

They are in the process of upgrading rooms so our room did not have a wardrobe or safe. While we were there they installed a shelf in the bathroom. We were on the forth floor and had a balcony/patio with a nice view of the beach. We would stay there again.

Don't bother

Can't say anything nice. Except the location, but not worth all the lack of basic comfort. It's way overpriced for what you get. Should be 25% of the room rates.

Pleasantly surprised

Compared to other more expensive accommodations I was impressed with the room and it's location. On the second night I was bit by bed bugs and when I complained I was immediately offered another room. And within minutes they started the fumigation process. Needless to say they take hygiene and cleanliness very seriously. If you want to travel on a budget and somehow still get your moneys worth I would recommend this hotel in Kamala beach.

Do not book this property. It is infested with cockroaches and you will not get a refund. Expedia is to blame because they see the bad reviews but still keep this accommodation on their website. It’s not a hotel and it most definitely is not a hotel. It’s rooms on the beach that are in a very bad state of disrepair. Kamala beach is beautiful and the accommodation is in the best area of Kamala beach. But probably the worst accommodation in Thailand. Staff we absolutely lovely and helpful. This is a very honest review.

Room is severely outdated. None that i was shown match the pictures online. To get an upgrade to a decent clean-ish room, was told i would have an extra 900 baht a night. Mattress is rock solid and covered in plastic, making it incredibly uncomfortable. Also was chasing and catching cockroaches each night, handing them to staff to be told ‘i will get you a new glass’. This was all done by google translate as no staff spoke a word of English It was my second time in Kamala, and highly doubt i will be returning

I booked a room with a sea view, what I got was a completely different room with a building wall view. This was very disappointing as it was my first time in Thailand and I wanted to wake up to a sea view. The room, bed, bathroom etc was all looking different from the pictures advertised. I want a full refund please.

Mixed bag

Room / 'balcony' was not as photos showed on booking. Our room was ground floor, which meant great access out onto the beachfront along the corridor, but our 'balcony' was a patio into the alleyway. The room overall was clean, but had a strong (unpleasant) stale smell which hung around for two days despite trying to ventilate. Room decor was outdated and tired, but the bed was very large and comfortable. Would have been nice to have a thicker bed cover available (only a sheet on the bed), as the aircon was either very cold or blew out warm stale smelling air. On the third day, we came back to find a cockroach in our room, which wasn't nice, but the staff were very good at dealing with quickly. There were beach towels available from reception for guests to use, towels were threadbare (beach and bathroom) and some shed clumps of black pubic hairs when using. The location was amazing, right out onto the beach and the Beach Fusion cafe does exceptional food and drink (breakfast, lunch and dinner - paid separately). Overall we would not stay again because of the hygiene problems, but the location was what saved it for us whilst we were there.

Disappointing Stay at a So-Called "Resort"

We booked a 9-night stay at this property after seeing attractive photos on Hotels.com and a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what was advertised. Upon arrival, we checked into our room on the 4th floor, only to discover there was no elevator. This was an unpleasant surprise, especially as we had luggage to carry up. We had specifically booked a room with a balcony, but the "view" turned out to be a solid concrete wall. The room itself was dirty—there was sand in the bed, and the shower didn’t work. When we complained, the staff simply brushed the sand off the bed and wiped the showerhead with their hand. No further action was taken to address these issues. The property claims to be a "resort," but it doesn’t come close to meeting the standards one would expect. Daily cleaning was non-existent; the floor was occasionally swept, but no proper cleaning was done. Basic amenities like instant coffee were not replenished, and we had to repeatedly ask for clean towels. To be honest, calling this place a "resort" or even a "hotel" is misleading. It’s more akin to a poorly maintained hostel. It’s unwelcoming, dirty, and offers substandard facilities and service. I would strongly advise against staying here. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for accommodations that live up to their descriptions.

The Benjamin “resort” is a hostel. Please only book this if you are looking for the most basic accommodation. It is in an extreme state of disrepair, however the staff keep the rooms as clean as they can & it is not dirty. The staff are very friendly. The location is right on Kamala beach. There are great restaurants at the back and front of the hotel. It is the best location. However as stated above it is budget accommodation and expect to see cockroaches. You may ask why I ended up there. Well we booked an apartment’s on the Expedia app 1 year ago. It was transferred over to their sister company VRBO. The host did not turn up so we had to hurriedly find accommodation because Expedia left us stranded in Thailand. We had no where to go. We original booked 4* accommodation and we had to book quickly or else we would have been on the street. We didn’t read the reviews and we ended up at Benjamin. Every day people came in screaming at staff and demanding a refund. YOU WILL NOT BE GIVEN A REFUND. This is not the hotels fault. This is Expedias fault. Expedia can see the terrrible feedback on Benjamin but still keep the hotel on their site. They can easily remove but they rather keep it and gain profit from commission. Expedia has become a very unscrupulous company. I have used for over 20 years. After this trip I will never use Expedia again.
