AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Arrived to find a deserted hotel. Initially thought great but then was told no restaurant in low season even though we paid for breakfast. Steep road to cabins which taxi drivers wont drive down and need transport to get everywhere from it, even to a 7/11 which was supposed to be 400m away. Ninas coffee shop was around the corner and lovely. Nina helped us get taxis and said that the hotel has always had problems, no one stays. Aircon was not working in room even though owner said it was. The sea was out quite far to go for a dip and no pool, very picturesque to look out but bitten to shreds, accomodation was poor and not as described. Holes in sheets on bed. Fridge was unplugged so no cold water. When plugged in it sparked very big. Very dangerous.
We like staying in cabins on the beach but this was poor. We found luxury accomodation further around the corner for the same price. Dont risk this place.
The restaurant was the owners family home with tables on the extended veranda. Was dirty and outdated with her kids sitting on tables.
Asked to leave straight away and explained to expedia the situation. The owner became very aggressive telling us she was poor and would not refund. She lied to expedia and refused the refund. Told expedia there was a restaurant and it was open. Appalling service. Expedia honour the hotels over the customers
Dont fall into the trap we did with this one. It was clear the owner did not want to open facilities to 2 people.
La posizione era strategica sia dalla zona della movida che dalla zona porto spostandosi in scooter.Bungalow in spiaggia con servizi essenziali,aggiungerei solo un piccolo frigo.Personale disponibile e accogliente.
Noi ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Schöner Strand mit viel Ruhe und herrlichen Kokospalmen daneben/dahinter. Sehr gepflegt ! Wer Partys sucht, muss woanders buchen. 2-3 gute und g7nstige Restaurants gleich daneben, auch im Resort selbst kann man gut essen.
Das Zimmer war nicht besonderes ordentlich als wir ankamen und Roomservice gab es nur nach zweimaliger Aufforderung. Unser Zimmer hatte leider auch keine Klima! Das Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Der Strand ist schön und die Lage gut!
Great place. Right on the beach. Beautiful. Kind owners. Good breakfast with American style bacon. Good burgers for lunch. All and all a really good experience. Much better than spending a similar amount to be in a shared room at some hostel. Easy motorbike rental bery close by. I will stay here again if I visit this island again.
We really enjoyed our stay at phangang rainbow bungalows. Martin and Noi were lovely hosts and made us feel really welcome. They gave us helpful advise during our stay and easily let us book an extra night. Their beautiful dog Millie gave us endless joy. It is family run and a nice place to be. The bungalows are in a great location, the beach is stunning and your in-between the two main areas. You do need a scooter to get around but you can hire one next door for 200 baht a day. We would definetly stay again. Thank you!
Etter 4 netter på Haad Yao flyttet vi ned til - for oss - en ny strand. Pga gode anmeldelser valgte vi Phangan Rainbow Bungalows.
Vi merket med en gang at her nede på Bankai Beach er juli «Low Season in Low Season». I tillegg var det varslet mye vind og regn så mange av strand-restaurantene hadde stengt.
(Det samme hadde dessverre også restauranten på Phangan Rainbow - men de serverte frokost)
Vi ble møtt av særdeles hyggelige Noi som beklagde (!) det dårlige været som var varslet. Vi sjekket inn i en ren og fin Beachfront bungalow med balkong (2 stoler, bord og hengekøye), kjøleskap, et bord og 1 stol - ingen vannkoker (men vi fikk låne!), 1 dobbeltseng og 1 enkeltseng - enkeltsengen ble brukt som oppbevaringsplass da det mangler skap og veggkroker.
En dusj (i badekar) med godt trykk - deilig! (Må renne litt før varmtvannet kommer).
Det varslede og etterlengtede regnet kom (har ikke regnet her på flere måneder) - og da kom (også særdeles hyggelige) Martin bort med paraply til oss.
På denne siden av øya trekker vannet seg (mer?) tilbake nå på sommeren. Det stiger litt utover kvelden men det er langgrunt og ikke så egnet for bading på denne tiden av året. Martin forteller at vannet går helt opp til restauranten på vinterstid.
Vi hadde 4 deilige og avslappende dager/netter her på Phangan Rainbow Bungalows. Noi og Martin er bare nydelige og vi kan anbefale stedet 110%.
Vi kommer gjerne igjen - kanskje da rundt påsketider!

Eine sehr schöne Anlage, ruhig gelegen, an einem sehr schönen Strandabschnitt. Für Party Gäste weniger geeignet, da zu Fuß nichts nennenswerte zu erreichen, trotzdem gute Lage, um die Insel mit dem scooter zu erkunden. Sehr nette Gastgeber. Unschlagbares Preis /Leistungsverhältnis
