koh kood garden view

The owner lady was rude and unpleasant, and made us feel unwelcome from the start. Our room was very dirty, full of insects and cockroaches, and there was a bad smell from the toilet the whole time. In seven days, there was no cleaning or fresh towels, and we got just one roll of toilet paper. I also think the place is dangerous for children. Our son was hit on the head by fruit falling from a tree, and we ended up at Koh kood hospital. I strongly don’t recommend staying here. It may be cheap, but after one night you’ll regret it.

The renovations started as soon as we checked into the last bungalow next door. We’d booked for ten nights, so we asked the woman owner if we could change bungalows. She responded by yelling and being rude and aggressive. She said, "I understand English too, why should someone else suffer and not you?" and told us to leave if we didn’t like it. I was shocked and in tears. I never thought something like this could happen, especially in Thailand, which I love. Finding somewhere else during peak season was almost impossible. The man owner said he’d move us if he could, but over the next ten days nobody followed up or did anything, even though guests changed in the other bungalows every day. It really affected how we felt about our vacation on Koh Kood. A terrible experience. I’d avoid this place if you don’t want your holiday ruined.

We had a great time at the Mermaid House in Koh Kood. The food and drink menu has lots of good options, including delicious pizzas from their pizza oven, and the location is perfect. Jesse and the rest of the staff were super friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying our stay. A really cool spot with great people, highly recommend!

The huts are cosy and budget friendly, set among gardens with a restaurant area and surf shop. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun, and the restaurant has a wide menu with delicious smoothie breakfast bowls and spicy curries. It’s well located near the beach, other restaurants, bars and shops. There’s also a chemist, laundry service and motorbike rental just a few minutes’ walk away. I’d definitely recommend hiring a scooter to explore the island.
