Great area. The shower wasn't designed right so it wouldn't drain. Filled the entire bathroom floor with standing water. Other than that and some check in issues (no one the office for a while) it was good.

Great stay for budget price near the beach
This little gem of a resort is well located in the center of Chaweng. The room was clean and had an outdoor area to smoke or have a drink. The best part was direct access (and view) to the beach. Another cool feature was free to use table and chairs right by the beach. It may sometimes be noisy from the bars next door. Overal a great small resort for the rates! Will return when I go back to Samui

It would be impossible to find better value than Lucky Mother in Chaweng. The location is perfect, the rooms are simple but nice and clean, the staff are amazing. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in Samui. If I could review it more than 5/5, I would :)

Average but heavily Covid affected
Very basic rooms, nothing by the way of furniture except the bed. In addition there was a wall mounted fan and thats the contents of the room. It was clean though. Chaweng was completely dead, everything bar a couple of hotels was closed, this obviously has had an effect on service, the restaurant, reception etc was all closed.

Get what you pay
My partner and I stayed here for two nights. We were able to check in early after arriving from a different part of the island. The accommodation is all set up down a walk way to the beach, so there is no cars or people walking by which is great for noise (and lack of). We had the fan room, and whilst it got a little toasty it wasn’t too bad. Our hot water stopped working and when we reported it, we were moved rooms within 10 minutes and they were really apologetic. Downside was that we got a lot of bites from being here. Pretty sure it wasn’t bed bugs, we didn’t see any, but compared to everywhere else we have been in Asia, it was really bad. We were itching loads and it made our stay really uncomfortable. Location however is great and the staff are nice too.

Chill place on the beach.
Really enjoyed my stay at Lucky Mother. It's right on the beach and close to all the restaurants and bars in Chaweng. I don't know about other rooms but my room at least was sheltered from any noise from the beach bars known for their parties, so noise at night was not an issue for me. My room was very clean and nice, although there were some ants that enjoyed crawling around my room but it wasn't that big of a deal. You're in the tropics so bugs are to be expected. I would definitely stay there again.

Pleasant place close to the beach and clubs. First night in room with fan was horrible but second we changed for a room with AC which was good. Both rooms were clean and well equipped. receptionist is very nice and speaks a little French! Good deal

Bad services but good location
Dont trust the pics. I booked a room for 20$ and when I got there they gave me a room without a/c. Just a fan!!! I payed another 10$ pernight for the room with a/c. Then I noticed the room doesn’t have any safe box!!! I called the reception and they tol me I should pay more for the room with safe box! After all of the room changings my room didn’t have a refrigrator. The sheets had stains on it and the towels were so old.

Perfect location on Chaweng beach
Perfect location on Chaweng beach and for the main street. This hotel feels spartan and low key, compared to many of the big resorts in the area such as Combo and Ark, which are newer and fancier -- and both very close so I visited them often. Bring mosquito netting. Very friendly staff. At night there's reggae music at the oceanside. I liked the place so much I extended my stay twice.

close to the beach the only advantage
staff not friendly, we were upgraded to an aircon room and had to pay for it, first room had aircon dripping water in the room, they changed room to an even worse one, I regret telling them as I could stick with dripping water instead. chaweng beach as a whole is a place I would not recommend at whole. or actually samui.

Budget, quiet hotel next to the beach
Decent budget hotel next to the beach. Rooms are big and generally clean. Fairly silent a part from some music I could hear from a club nearby... But that's inevitable in this area. Stuff really cool and friendly ... They really go the extra mile. Now on the negative side the complex is quite simple and a bit aged. Got Ants on my bed and one my body while sleeping.. Again..That's not very unusual in cheap hotels on the ground floor in Thailand. Shower and toilet were working very poorly. Overrall I would stay if I was in a very low budget.. But I wasn't so I moved into an upper class hotel.

Nice Beach, Simple Rooms
The room had a slight mildewy smell (which unfortunately is one of my pet peeves). They also have quite a number of cats and some of the ally between the rooms and the counter smells of cat urine (another big dislike for me). The service was pretty decent. They helped us to get an early morning taxi and also had someone available to check us out and return our deposit early in the morning

definitely will come back again!
overall is good. only a bit problem when there is no hot shower in my room, no fridge, and wifi problem on my second day. but everything is good when you travel with your friends. got many cats and dogs. all of them are cute. oh yeah. one more thing, you need to inform receptionist everyday to clean up your room. if not, they will leave your room like that. good location and great experience. will come back here :)

Great location, very basic room, we stayed 4 nights and the room was never cleaned. We had the room with a fan which was alright as we are on a budget but if you can - book with aircon.

Great location, although far enough away to be quiet. Beach was nice although the sea wasn't very clean, nicer beaches a little walk away. The women giving massages from the bungalows shout "massage, massage" constantly throughout the day, quite off putting when trying to relax on the beach. No A/C only a fan so room got very warm and stuffy. Also no warm water though a cold shower was nice given the temperature of the room. Didn't get your passport back until the to had been checked, felt like it was being held hostage. Chaweng itself is overly touristy, not my favourite place I've been in Thailand

lovely hotel on the beachfront
First time in Koh Samui and found the accommodation in Lonely Planet. Very pleased with location at all as it was right on the beach and close to many restaurants and bars. I scored the room comfort a bit low as I didn't have air conditioning in my room only a fan so if you have the choice pick a room with an air con unit.

Fine for a budget hotel
Stayed here for 1 night in a fan room. Theyre actually individual bungalows The room was small but fine for 1 night. We were worried about just having a fan but it was perfect for the small room. We had to leave a 2000bhat deposit or a passport. The hotel leads directly onto the beach and has massage available while you look onto the beach. There are a LOT of cats wandering around and they have some dogs in kennels too which creates a bit of a smell in reception area, but its bareable. The hotel bar is on the beach with lovely cocktails and there was a fire show. The staff were helpful, they helped us arrange a taxi when we were leaving. Wifi is only avaiable in reception, but if you have a toom near recoeption it might reach! On the beach this hotel is a few doors down from the infamous Ark Bar which is much more lively at night, however it doesnt disrupt this hotel

3 nights in B1 bungalow
We stayed in the closest to the sea bungalow. However there was no beach and we had to walk to others. Its neighbor is Cha Cha Moon beach club - one of the most popular - fun all night long... In short it is nice place for youth. We enjoyed staying there just for 3 nights. The only thing i didn't like was the towels. They seemed to be clean but smelled badly like they were washed but not dried - really distrusting...

Good place to stay in Chaweng - Koh Samui
Ideal location if you want to be by all the action. It's located on a side street off the main road exactly where the busiest bars are, so 2 mins walk and your in the middle of the action. However, because it's on the side road you don't get all the noise or disruptions. So at one end is the main road and at the other is the beach. I stayed in a bungalow which was basic, but has everything you need for a short stay. Bed and bathroom basically! The main thing for me was that it was clean, so I was happy. Also, the walkway down to the bungalows is quite pretty. It's the sort of place you book if all you need is a room, because there isn't a restaurant or many staff around. There is however a great beach bar.

Ein paar Tage in Chaweng....
Neu renoviertes Zimmer mit gutem Bett & Bad - so soll es für ein paar Tage gerne sein. Zimmerservice allerdings regulär nur alle 2 Tage - einfach nachfragen, dann wird jeden tag auch gewechselt. Negativ war Kaution - THB 2.000 (!) in bar bzw. Reisepass -am Ende jedoch ohne Diskussion/ Beanstandung zurück erhalten!

Très bon etablissement
Jai réservé 10 jours dans cet hôtel avec petites chambres dans une allée donnant sur la plage. Petit bar de plage dans l'après midi et le soir. Musique. Location paddle canoë disponible. Ménage bien fait sur demande. Chambre très correct lit confortable salle de bain basique mais opérationnelle. Prenez le temps de discuter avec les propriétaires quand on s'intéresse à eux on est agréablement surpris par leur gentillesse et leur ouverture d'esprit. On est en centre ville mais ce n est pas trop bruyant mais j'ai quand même mis des boules Quies. 1 min à pied de ark bar avec soirées festives mercredi et vendredi soir. Pool party tous les après midi. Et d'autre établissements d'ambiance a proximité. Il faut avoir un scooter quand même car à samui chaweng c'est bien pour sortir un peu le soir mais ce n est pas la meilleure partie de l'île. Je crois que la prochaine fois j'irai à lamai avec ses resto vegan.
