We had a fantastic stay on Koi Yao Noi, and this house turned an already sweet island into a uniquely comfortable and visually stunning experience. Great place to hang out, chill, work, or travel the island from. Definitely hoping we can return some day!

Beautiful house in a stunning location!

First experience of Airbandb and Thailand. Ricefield Cottage, Koyao Pavillions was amazing. More palace than cottage -tastefully appointed, spacious & spotlessly clean. Lush grounds with fantastic shared pool...2 mins from a beautiful beach. The icing on the cake was host James (aka Yanat) and his team ..laid back but super attentive. Nothing too much trouble. Everything from stunning day trips on long tailed boats with refreshments, taxis and special requests all seamlessly organised & delivered. The dining & especially the wine list deserves special commendation..hitting all the right notes. 5 stars plus, plus, plus. Trevor & Katie

Waterhouse is one of the most amazing places I've stayed in, and Kasem is a complete rockstar as a host. Its a very beautiful, though sparse, house, on stilts on the water in a Thai fishing village with stunning 270' views, in a very sweet and quiet area of Koh Yao, a very sweet and quiet island near Phang Nga. Kasem is the best - he's like a swiss army knife of hosting and as a friend. Definitely an awesome place.

The Waterhouse is a fantastic spacious house, on the sea, with a breathtaking view on the bay. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped, good bathrooms with shower, good wifi connection. Yes, there are some defects (early in the morning you will hear fishermen going out with their boats, birds singing, the house is a big open space, so not a complete privacy in the rooms, the water is not drinkable, so you need to get water in bottles), but you will fall in love with this place! We received all the necessary information and help at check-in and during our stay, from renting motorbikes to having boat trips organised. Restaurants and food shops are available close by. We would definitely come back to Waterhouse as soon as possible!!

Karem est un hôte exceptionnel, toujours à votre écoute pour vous donner les bons plans, vous aider dans les réservations des sorties, très réactif et volontaire. La maison est dans un cadre parfait, magique et paradisiaque. Nous sommes proches des commerces de bases mais aussi des boutiques et restaurations. Les villageois sont très accueillants et toujours prêts à vous aider également. Séjour inoubliable sur une ile très très belle

Kasem was an AMAZING host! He organized a taxi to take us to the Waterhouse. The space has a picturesque view of the sea that will leave you breathless. The rooms were spacious and dinning table area has an beautiful view at sunset. Kasem helped us get vespas so we can ride around town and even took us to a local restaurant for authentic Thai food. He was extremely helpful and we come back in a heartbeat.

Kasem is a DREAM host. He is great with communication and does everything in his power to make sure your stay is perfect. He will go the extra mile and will help you with whatever you need. My girlfriends and I are in our mid twenties and we were a bit scared to book this location but Kasem put any concern or worry to rest straight away. He truly is he biggest sweetheart and the Waterhouse is a beautiful property. It's in a remote village so just be conscious of that. The Goodview restaurant is delicious and has beautiful views at sunset. Just keep in mind it's a little more pricey than standard Thai food dinners. THANK YOU KASEM! - The Canadian Girls

A group of five of us (two couples and a single person) enjoyed five great days in the Waterhouse. Karem wasn't available at the start of the trip so a friend of his checked us in. He was a great host - super friendly, and even took me and my partner on a late-night picnic to a beach which appears at low-tide. His sister - who is a chef - had made egg fried rice with fish, and we learnt a lot from Karem about the culture and history of the island. - Would stay again and would reccomend.

We loved our stay at the Waterhouse. As noted by other reviewers, the house is just a few minutes away by moto to both the main tourist drag (up the east coast) and the "town" (to the west), or a 15 minute walk to the closest beaches and cafes/bars. We loved being tucked away at the end of a cozy residential path, surrounded by fishing boats and with absolutely spectacular sunsets every night. Karem was a dream host: friendly, responsive and proactive. He set up all our transit to and from the house, had motos waiting for us on arrival and organized a private boat tour to the islands (highly recommend) for very reasonable prices. This home would be a great value for a family trip, and we intend to come back some day with our extended family. Only point of note is that the house does not have AC (per the listing), and since we were there in mid April it got quite hot at night. But the house is equipped with many fans, so the heat is probably only an issue a few weeks out of the year. This was truly one of our favorite Airbnb experiences!

Alena and her team were extremely attentive and friendly! We arrived much earlier than planned and were greeted with a warm welcome and a beachfront bungalow. Make sure to kayak out to Ko Nok and make the climb to the top with the kayaks onsite. Food was delicious and the view was breathtaking!

There is only one negative thing about our stay at Lom Lae - which is that we could not stay longer than one week. The place is simply paradise, it is correctly described. Yah was a wonderful host, she helped us with everything we needed. We were provided with a phone, so we could always stay in touch with her. We also had a Scooter, that was included in the price and made us discover the beautiful, quiet Island fo Koh Yao Noi. A wonderful holyday for us, we hope to be able to come back and stay for longer.

Amazing bungalow with incredible views. There was a motorbike and kayaks for us to use. Lawn chairs by the beach and Hammocks were on the beach. Bungalow was clean and the fans were a help when the wind died down. It was a quiet and relaxing stay. Would recommend and would stay again!

Es ist ein wundervoller Platz um Ko Yao Noi in jeglicher form zu erkunden. Sei es das Essen, die Lage, das Meer oder die Gastfreundschaft von Matt. Nur empfehlenswert!!

it was wonderful to stay at matt's place - he helped us book boat tours, rented us a motorbike, shared insights on the island, and even helped arrange a taxi when we headed back to phuket before our flight. the bungalow is cute and clean and very close to the beach. we really enjoyed our stay!

It is a very convenient and nice place to stay. Check the price before confirming the booking as it may change!

The stay here was fantastic. Matt was so nice and helpful with advice about the island. The bungalow is just steps to a perfect beach with restaurants and bars stung along the strip. I would recumbent anyone looking for a relaxing stay on Ko Yao Noi to stay here.

Me and my boyfriend loved staying here. Matt is super helpful and has everything you need. We recommend staying here. It's better than the other resorts on the island because it's more secluded and fewer bungalows around. There is a great coffee shop/mini mart close by and Matts restraint, which is right out front has excellent food! I recommend the Papaya salad and veggie pizza! I already want to visit this place again.

The stay was very nice! Room was big, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We liked best that we could rent the motorbike, book a Tour with the boat and plan our further journey all at one place. Only negative thing was that there weren't enough helmets for the motorbike. All in all we really enjoyed it here and would come again!

Mana, the manager has a great smile and took care of us at every chance.

Bad Experience - Prepaid with airbnb.com via Visa card. Upon arrival they put us in a room with not enough beds, and gave us a 1 inch foam pad for the 3 person in our party. Upon check out we were asked for $400 baht as they had put us in the wrong room when we checked in, and it was now more expensive. When we protested and said no he said the fee was now for the foam mat for the 3rd person. I finally said fine Ill give you $200 baht and paid the concierge to get out of there. After checkout the owner msged me asking for $40 more USD, which I declined. Our room was located upstairs and the staircase was under construction with 2 men hammering and working in our designated walking area. Metal beams and tools lined the stairway and if we had been elderly or larger people, we would not have been able to access the room. Hammering began each day promptly at 07:55, there is no way a human being can sleep through this hammering, so we were forced to wake up each day at this time. Due to the construction and attempted extortion efforts I would not recommend staying here, pay a few more dollars and stay on the East side of the island, where its nicer and more fun. We rented scooters from this motel for $300 Baht per day, and then found them for $250/day on the East side of the island.

Nice place !

Center of the city with market just next to It . Delicious food is just next to it. Beautiful and quiet island with very happy habitats . I haven't seen only host to ever smile Bungalow are located next to each other which cause lack of privacy. Great stay but a little bit too much "business model" of the place .

So great, thank you!

I had great time I this place the town is interesting and fun and the sathron family are so nice!

Really nice and clean Bungalow! We will stay here again !

Wir haben dieses Haus bewusst aus anderen Angeboten gewählt, weil uns der äusserst geschmackvolle Thaistyle dieses Haus gefällt (das warme Holz, der offene Bade- und Duschraum, die ausgeklügelten Belüftungstechniken) und auch die Lage mitten im Grün mit fabelhafter Aussicht. Für Personen, die doch lieber dicht abgeschlossene Räume mit Fensterglas und Aircondition haben, gibt es in diesem Haus auch ein solches Zimmer. Zivilisationslärm gibt es hier kaum, hier sorgt die Tierwelt für Schlaf- und Morgenlieder. Das Haus ist dennoch nicht abgeschottet. Über kurze Spazierwege sind Strand, Restaurants und sogar ein kleiner Supermarkt erreichbar. Für Gehbehinderte sind diese Wege allerdings nicht geeignet, da sie nicht planiert sind. Was uns sehr positiv überrascht hat war der herzliche Empfang und die tägliche liebevolle und sorgfältige Pflege der Räume und des Hauses durch die "Hausmanagerin" und "Hauspfleger" und "Hauspflegerin". Ausserdem ist es ein Segen, dass die Hausmanagerin sehr gut Englisch spricht und eine gut organisierte und verlässliche Person ist. Es hat Alles tadellos geklappt!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sabina's villa and would recommend the place for nature lovers. We were met at the pier by a mini van which Dao (the lady who looked after the house) had arranged. When we got to the house we were blown away by the house and by Dao who was fantastic. She is a wealth of knowledge and owns a little cafe about a 5 minute walk through the woodland to the house which is great for breakfast, snacks etc. The house itself is well looked after (although the mosquito net in the main room could do with replacing as it's got a few holes) but if that's the biggest issue then the place is doing well! I would say that it really is a place with nature lovers as it is a very open house and sometimes was pretty hot even with the slight breeze and the fans. The location really does require you to have a moped or a car as it's only a 5 minute walk through the woods but it's very dark at night and a little uneven, we tried it a few times but decided to ride our mopeds to the house instead (also slightly tricky but fun!) The island itself is wonderful and so quiet. I hear a W hotel is being built there so if you want to experience this island for it's serenity and amazing peace visit now!

Great place for nature and open spaces lovers! The villa is spacious and amazing. If you want the Thailand experience from 10 years ago definitely stay in this Island and on this property. Day trips to the nearby Islands are very accessible and they are amazing. No need to look further near Phuket!

Beautiful villa, amazing sunrise to be seen here. I would 100% recommend this place. Deo who is Sabina's contact on the island is just wonderful and so helpful.

A beautiful house with a view of the bay. The friendly manager was very helpful and arranged everything for us, form scooters to get around to laundry to entertainment. A cleaner came though every day to tidy up. We had a wonderful, relaxing time. The level of service was closer to a hotel than to your average airbnb.

The villa was the perfect place for my family and I to stay. The views are even better than the ones shown in the pictures, and Khun Deo (local caretaker) provided home cooked meals and arranged boat tours and all transportation requirements. There is a path that leads down to the beach, with nearby shops and restaurants. The open air design allowed for wonderful views and refreshing breezes. It was a very enjoyable place to stay and I hope to return again.

Our stay at Sabina's Villa was absolutely amazing. The villa is located up a forested hill off of the main road with stunning sunrise views of the water. There was always a breeze blowing and the open air set up is just fantastic. If you like nature -- this is the place to stay! Sabina was very easy to stay in touch with and got us in touch with Deo, the manager of the villa. Deo has a shop at the bottom of the hill and she is amazing! She met us at the house, showed us around and let us know how to get what we needed. She got us set up with boat tours, in house massages and mopeds. Her restaurant was great and she had plenty of things we needed at her shop. She helped us arrange rides to and from the pier and got us anything we needed. The villa is exactly as pictured -- you wake up to the sounds of nature, beautiful breezes and you're a short walk from an amazing beach and views that are breathtaking. We loved the place and would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful house, very clean and the owners where great with communication. Probably one of the best private locations on the island. Amazing sea view from the deck. Will come back here as soon as possible!

We enjoyed staying at this lovely place, so peaceful and private, we even saw some hornbills in the garden!! Great view from the balcony too! Everything was great when we arrived, really clean and everyone we met was wonderful, (especially Bubbles!) really friendly and helpful. Thanks again, hopefully we can come back and stay again!

we have stayed 4 nights at Chatchas Airbnb, we loved everything about our stay and we fell in love with the nice welcoming people, the good food and the idyllic island! thank you for your great hospitality!

Die Unterkunft hat eine schöne Lage in der Natur und wäre wohl auch schön ruhig, wenn nicht gerade eine Baustelle daneben ist, wie bei unserem Aufenthalt. Marko ist ein hilfsbereiter, unkomplizierter Gastgeber gewesen.

Everything was great and exactly what we hoped for and expected. We had one hiccup but not at the fault of Marko or Matt- the local contact, but something to be aware of. Marko told us to tell the taxi driver to take us to the Pyramid restaurant when we got to the pier. We arrived at the pier and told the taxi driver where we wanted to go. They had no idea where that was. They ended up taking us to the very northern end of the island to the resort 'The Paradise'. By the time we got everything figured out we had been out in the heat for an hour and had to pay another 600 baht to get us to the correct location. Make sure you have Matts phone number and clear instructions on where the restaurant is. None of that put a damper on our trip though. It was great.

Wonderful, peaceful,the friendliest place I have ever visited! Perfect for a couple who want to get away from the stresses of life! Thank you Marko!

The house is big, there is plenty of space for two people. You are sourrounded by nature. The house is an open house and you must like it (I do). You can hear a lot of noises of the nature during the night which I love. Only thing: there should be some nice pillows to sit on outside and relax even more, but I am sure that Marko will arrange that for the next guests! If you like nature, if you hate excluvise resorts: this is a place for you!

When we first got into Koh Yao Noi we were told to meet at a Bar and ask for Matt. From the first moment we arrived Matt and his wife (who run the house for Marko) were so welcoming and treated us so well throughout the week. The house we stayed in was a little bit outside of the more touristy area and was such a nice open air house set up on a hill. Matt helped us get anything done that we wanted; motorbikes, boat tour, suggestions on store and shops. All in all this was a great spot and we would definitely suggest the house. One thing to be aware of if you are someone who attracts mosquitos, be prepared. The house did have mosquito nets and then are well cared for, but those guys are resilient. Even when you are sitting out on the porch. Thank you Marko for providing a beautiful location and thanks to Matt for being such a wonderful host.

Pros: The room, just a five minute walk from the beach, was unique and cool, with a very spacious open air design. It included a porch with a hammock, and a kitchen as well, so those staying longer can save some money by preparing their own meals. In addition to the shower towels were two beach towels which was appreciated. Communication up to and during our stay was quick and helpful, and Matt was very nice. Cons: Being an open air design, there was an unbearable amount of mosquitos (this was the 3rd hut style, non-air conditioned, place we stayed in during our trip through Thailand and the first time we were unable to sleep through the night due to mosquitos). Even with the net around the bed with no open gaps (and repellent on too!) sleep was incredibly difficult as they still got in and kept us up all night. We spent 15 minutes each night within the net to make sure we killed all the mosquitoes that got inside, but either mosquitos in Thailand are magical, or the net didn't work. Another thing: there was a lot of dirt and debris, and what I think might have been gecko/insect pellets that continuously fall from the ceiling. We didn't mind sweeping them off the floor ( a broom was included) but they would get in the bed which wasn't sanitary. An easy fix would be to cover the top of the bed with a solid tapestry and use nets on the open spaces and bed that can keep the mosquitos out. Also, it would be great if mosquito candles included. Lastly, Matt said he would arrange for a taxi to pick us up on morning of our check out in order to take the first boat to Krabi. Not sure what happened but the taxi never showed and unfortunately we missed the boat.

We couldn't stay in Marko's place because it was damaged by the heavy rain. However, Marko quickly offered the solution and we stayed with his friend Matt who was extremely helpful and made our staying on the island very enjoyable. Thanks!

Alles gut

PERFECT!!! We were six people for three nights at the Villa. A dream. The location, the house, the employees. The manager on site is so friedly. She gave us a mobile phone with which we could call her anytime if we need anything . She has organized for us two evenings a cook who has cooked us extremely good Thai food. Everything was organized perfect for us so we could really relax. The villa itself is cleaned every morning by the staff, so you feel comfortable at any time. The beds are a dream. Everything is the way it looks in the pictures! Unfortunately we only had three nights, but they were by far the three most beautiful of our entire Thailand trip. THANK YOU

Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Mhee qui est venue nous chercher à Thalane Pier en bateau. La maison de Laurence est fantastique et conforme aux photos . Mhee a été très présente pour nous faciliter la vie sur place ( repas excursions ..,) et très efficace ! C'est une personne exceptionnelle !

Great stay at the villa. With the use of scooters you'll ba able to reach amazing beaches and very scenic places. Breakfast was great as well, with eggs, fruits and amazing banana pancakes! Sound system inside and outside makes the stay at the villa and around the pool very enjoyable! Ideal week end getaway with friends!

The home and property was exactly as listed. It far exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival we were met by The house manager Mhee. With Mhee it is "always about you". Mhee arranged everything we asked for. Excursions, massages, motor bikes and a private chef to cook us dinner one night. Mhee made dinner reservations and arranged for taxis. She was simply AMAZING. This was one of our best experiences all made possible by Mhee. Thank you.

Amazing Private Pool Villa and very well managed by Laurence.

This was a spectacular stay. We had four days as a family with four adult children. It was a treat to arrive by speedboat to the island. Wonderful, comfortable amenities. House keeper and gardener were lovely people but the most praise has to go to Mhee. What an unbeatable person:- so helpful and happy and down to earth. She is integral to making the stay a blissful experience. Half of our time it rained and the other half sunshine- so win win. It is a great idea to hire bicycles for a couple of days to explore, make sure to eat at Rice Paddy and the suggested kayak / caving trip is a must. We made a stop during the van transfer at Marko to collect a whole lot of groceries and supplies for our stay, which was handy but not totally necessary. Sadly we left behind two of our favourite board games, so enjoy those!

It's very simple to describe this villa, perfection in real life, the villa itself is beautiful absolutely luxurious and stellar in cleanliness and location. The house manager Mi, could be the concierge at any of the finest 5 star hotels. Whatever we needed was there in a flash. Boat trips, bikes, taxi, dinner at the villa, shopping for a BBQ.. We will be back very soon
