Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was great! Staff were very helpful. Mee, the dog, was adorable and regularly there to greet me when I returned at the end of the day. The layout of the bathroom could be improved since the toilet is positioned between the drain and the shower head meaning that the entire bathroom gets wet when you have a shower. Also the late night music on Lonely Beach street could be heard in the middle of the night with the bass loud enough to wake you. If you can deal with those two monor inconveniences, then this is a great place to stay!

Outstanding staff and value. The staff put the customer first, are very helpful, treat you like family, and encourage feedback. The rooms are comfortable. The pool is lovely after a full day of touring. You can walk everywhere you’d need to go (bars, shopping, restaurants). That area is the most chill, and has everything you’d need.

I’m so sorry for that owner but that close to the loudest discotheque around is even for free to much. I had to make scuba dives every morning and flew away in the second night.

Lonely Beach, Koh Chang is an interesting part of the island. If you are looking for budget accommodations and a safe and comfortable place to stay check out Carpe Diem. If you like to party, even better as around the corner it is party central - that means there will be noise. Luckily the room comes equipped with ear plugs. 3 prong plugs so easy to charge stuff up. I did like the lock up boxes in the room. Decent wifi. The pool is nice for a quick dip, it has sun shades. The bed was comfortable. We didn't need the A/C but we did use the fan. I like the added touch of the elephant artwork on the walls. The bathrooms is like a retro throw back - very random tile work. Aussie touch - check out the nail hammering table. If you are looking for high end, charming this isn't for you. Cheap and cheerful. Decent coffee. Complimentary filtered water. There's kinda of a kitchen area with a fridge - a bit random. But I'm sure you can figure it out. The palm trees on one side of the pool are nice.

Schönes Guesthouse. Lage ungünstig für Nachtruhe.

Sehr schönes Guesthouse. Zimmer neuwertig und sauber. Gesamtanlage mit Pool und überdachtem Aufenthaltsbereich bei der Rezeption ebenfalls sehr gepflegt und sauber. Tolle Gastgeber, die Tipps für Aktivitäten, Ausflüge und für abendliche (Spiele-)Unterhaltung haben. Alles total entspannt. Gute Lage einige Meter abseits der Hauptstraße. Tagsüber sehr ruhig. Einziges Manko: in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft befindet sich die „Himmel-Bar“. Von 11pm bis 5am (manchmal 6am) ist für Extremstbeschallung gesorgt, die es problemlos mit jeder Parade z.B. eines CSD aufnehmen kann. Wir wussten leider nicht, dass Lonely Beach die Partymeile auf Ko Chang ist. Sind wir vielleicht selbst schuld daran. Jedenfalls sind wir nach 3 schlaflosen Nächten vorzeitig abgereist, trotz weiteren gebuchten und bezahlten Nächten. Deshalb auch so ausführlich und nochmal als Wiederholung: Für Partylöwen und Besucher, die nachts eh‘ nicht schlafen wollen, ist das Carpe Diem absolut perfekt. Volle Punktzahl. Für uns war es zu laut, was NICHT am Carpe Diem liegt, sondern eher allgemein an Lonely Beach. Gästen, die eher tagsüber aktiv sein und nachts schlafen wollen, möchten wir empfehlen, auf Ko Chang einen anderen Ort als Lonely Beach auszuwählen.
