Phi Phi Island Hotels in Phi Phi Don Village

Pleasantly surprised, great location and excellent view!
Date: 24 Jan 2012
My boyfriend and I went to Ko Phi Phi for three nights after visiting Chiang Mai and Kata from Jan 13-16, 2012. It was a struggle researching hotels on Phi Phi because of so many mixed reviews. I was...

Overpriced, though worth it
Date: 23 Jan 2012
I have spent some time choosing hotel for 11 nights at Phi Phi, and I believe I've made the right choice. Location is good - far enough from main noise, though just 10 min walk to the main restaurants...

overpriced hotel and very rude staff members
Date: 01 Jan 2012
i am extremely dissatisfied with this hotel, and with asia web direct. i think that firstly, i should mention that the rooms are OK and private, and that the views are good from the...

Good hotel with an amazing view
Date: 16 Dec 2011
We stayed here as part of a package with transfers from Phuket. It is a little bit away from the main area at the end of the beach but this suited us. breakfast was included and included the usual...

Good hotel and food, but noisy at nights
Date: 29 Nov 2011
We stayed at the hotel from 6-12 August 2011. The hotel was good, rooms are clean and comfortable, equipped with AC and ceiling van. Shower always had hot water when AC was running. Delicisious food,...      

Rustic, but real feel for the island
Date: 28 Nov 2011
Phi Phi Island is very rustic without any real amenities. The Bay view Hotel is no exception. The staff is brusque and no nonsense. The rooms are adequate but the views are worth every penny! We...

frustrating stay, ok room, but good view
Date: 13 Nov 2011
If you are like me and you want to be able to speak english with the staff, DON'T STAY HERE! There is only one lady who speaks some broken english and you will be lucky if she is ever at the front...

Stunning views, comfortable accommodation
Date: 31 Oct 2011
Bay View is a little way from the nearby Ton Sai village which is great in that it is quieter and more secluded, however, it is not too far away to grab a bite to eat and a drink. Accommodation is in...  

Amazing place, amazing location!
Date: 30 Oct 2011
This place was paradise! Great 'sea view' room. Very reasonable mini bar prices. Perfect location right on the beach. Free water taxi to ferry pier and daily buffet breakfast. We loved it here and...

heaven..
Date: 26 Oct 2011
Phi Phi is one of the most beautiful islands ive ever visited, I was so sad to leave and could have easily stayed for another two weeks. The hotel was fantastic, we stayed in the sister hotel -...   

A very pleasant Phi Phi experience
Date: 18 Oct 2011
We stayed at the Bayview for 3 nights and very much enjoyed our time there. The hotel answered to what we were looking for in a place such as Phi Phi: - Be a bit out of the way of a village - Yet...        

Great!
Date: 23 Sep 2011
Had already booked when I read Taylors review but upon staying there I was wondering if Reviewier really understood the island they were going too!? We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bay view, we had...

it was a decent hotel for the money
Date: 12 Sep 2011
This was one of dozens hotel we've stayed in during our recent 6 week trip to Thailand. it was one of the more budget ones (Phi phi is expensive and we wanted to be close to action but not in the...

PLEASE READ BEFORE STAYING
Date: 22 Aug 2011
I have never wrote any form of review but felt so strongly about this hotel I want to pass on the facts of my visit, not feelings just facts: -The hotel is under construction, no website told us...

Too much walking to center
Date: 15 Aug 2011
The hotel is 20 min walk from Phi Phi center, and the huts are 5 minutes ( up-down, up-down ) hill climbing away from reception. It's kind of a challenge 4 times a day. By the time I get to my room,...

arrogant personnel, terribly loud, only good for transit
Date: 15 Aug 2011
the hotel is located in tonsai bay, the island's harbour area. so be prepared for some serious boatmotor noise. additionally, the people there were so arrogant, rude and unfriendly that i will...

Not Bad... You Get What You Pay For
Date: 23 Jul 2011
We came here on the last leg of our Thailand trip, which we were essentially doing "on the cheap", or as close to value for money as possible. I do have to warn the less abled here - there is a...

Overall an amazing stay
Date: 15 Jul 2011
We stayed here for 4 nights. Pick up from pier by boat was lovely- though be prepared to get wet to the knee. We stayed on level 4 which was really far up a massive hill, but worth the walk to have...

The rudest most unhelpful staff ever encountered
Date: 01 Jul 2011
From the moment we checked in to check out we experienced the rudest and most unhelpful people I have ever met in my life. When we entered our villa we noted that the patio doors did not close at the...

Quiet with good views
Date: 04 Jun 2011
Phi Phi is one of the most beautiful places in the world. We stayed on two adjoining bungalows on tier 3 for three nights in May 2011. Rooms were adequate, but bathrooms not airconned. Mozzies were...

Great view, quiet but nothing that will leave a lasting impressio
Date: 08 May 2011
The Bay View Resort is at one end of the Tonsai beach and is in a very quiet area. There are no roads that lead up to the hotel, so everything comes by boat or you have to walk along the beach for...

Great location
Date: 04 May 2011
I stayed at the Bayview for 4 nights in April 2011 with my boyfriend and another couple. An avid reader of trip advisor reviews, we settled on the Bayview despite some of the negative feedback as it...

Really enjoyed my stay
Date: 06 Apr 2011
My friend and I loved staying here! The staff was so nice from the minute we arrived and really helpful in arranging our transportation (ferry) once we had to leave. We absolutely loved the location,... 

Beautiful haven away from the business of the island
Date: 29 Mar 2011
We stayed here for 4 nights during our honeymoon. We got picked up from the main pier by long tail boat which was lovely once we actually got on the boat as we had to wait in the stinking hot sun (no...

Amazing view and good location
Date: 28 Mar 2011
We found this hotel very nice and had the most amazing view over the bay. They pick you up at the pier and take you to the hotel. The rooms were big and most important they are clean that is not...

Do not stay here!!
Date: 13 Mar 2011
We stayed here last year! The rooms are an absolute hike up the hill. There is no other way of getting up!! Staff are unfriendly and unhelpful. The breakfast included was rough, I would not ever pay...

OK if you're travelling on a budget
Date: 07 Mar 2011
I found the bed itchy and due to there being no sealer round the door, the lizards could get in. Good thing about the lizards is that they wont come near you and they eat the mosquitos but still a bit...

Got robbed
Date: 06 Mar 2011
The hotel its OK for the price (between 3000 - 4000 THB), rooms OK, nice view, walking distance to downtown, but we got robbed from our luggages in the same hotel and nobody got responsable, the...

NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY
Date: 21 Feb 2011
Would never return there... They only have nice pictures online, nothing like what you see, when you first get there. Front desk staff-useless, not helpful at all, unfriendly, don't you dare to need... 

Great Stay!
Date: 06 Feb 2011
I don't know if it was because I had such low expectations of this hotel because of previous reviews that I was really blown away by how much I enjoyed it. There is nothing wrong with this hotel....

Best location in Phi Phi
Date: 21 Jan 2011
What I liked the most about this hotel is the location. The resort is just a 5 minutes walking from the noise of the village, so it's relatively calm and relaxing. Moreover it has a small beach just...

Fantastic location with wonderful views
Date: 18 Jan 2011
I was a bit apprehensive about this resort after reading all the luke warm reviews but went ahead and booked a 2 night stay as location was the primary factor we were looking for. I was not...

Unimpressed with the room, pretty good location though
Date: 10 Jan 2011
My friend and I stayed at the Bay View Resort on New Years Eve and the following night as well. The room was mediocre and the bathroom was less desirable. The shower area had a leaky roof and the...

Pretty location and a surprisingly good restaurant
Date: 30 Nov 2010
The resort has a nice location, up a hill, within a short walking distance from the Phi Phi market and pier and most of the rooms have excellent views of the bay and Phi Phi Lay. Long beach is a...  

A Perfect Getaway
Date: 25 Nov 2010
Before leaving for Thailand read many reviews on Bayview. So many complaints regarding insects,location,unfriendly staff,cleanliness etc. I had little expectations on this hotel before...

Private and value for money!
Date: 13 Oct 2010
Basically on its own beach, the place is cheap and cheerful. If you want value for money and basic amenities - then this is the place for you. A great view, away from the main part of town. Rooms are...

Good hotel for its money
Date: 19 Sep 2010
This is a great value for money. The hotel has excellent location: it's situated between the center (or pier) and the long beach. So it's easy to get to the long beach and relax there by laying on the...

Tonsai beach ; I wanna go back!!!
Date: 22 Jun 2010
The most beautiful location, with a wiew right to Phi Phi Leh. The beach where exclusive, the sand all white and soft and the water as clear as glass..And the best; It was not crowded like the beach...   

Best of a bad bunch
Date: 17 May 2010
Bay View is in need of a refurbishment and better air-con. All hotels on Phi Phi are over priced and run down so if you expect this you wont be disappointed. The Hotel is far enough away from the bars...   

Amazing Location...that's about it.
Date: 31 Mar 2010
I had such a difficult time picking accomodation on Phi Phi - it seemed like everywhere was either much, much too dear, or had horrible reviews. I chose Bay View based on some very decent reviews,...

I will not come back.
Date: 03 Mar 2010
Absolutey wonderfull view of the bay. The resort itself is rather old.. the furnitre need to be replaced, the bathroom .. are not very pleasant. Definitely not worth the price you pay for The...

superb location but dont expect 5 star luxury
Date: 23 Feb 2010
free pickup from the pier at phi was a welcome surprise and they were so helpful in getting us from the pier into our rooms. the room was a bit of a backpacker style affair but was all we needed for...

Bay View bleah...I found mouse on my room!!
Date: 22 Feb 2010
Bay View is horrible...i found a mouse on my room....no words to explain....

An interesting and good experience
Date: 19 Feb 2010
I don't quite know what we expected when we arrived on Phi Phi Don...but after a quite traumatic ferry ride from Phuket (I think our transfers were probably late and we may have actually missed our...

avoid this hotel
Date: 08 Feb 2010
it was my second time in phi phi. i can say that this hotel had poor service, not-so-good food, and rooms that are not worth the price you pay for. the only saving grace of this hotel is the...

Great Place...
Date: 31 Jan 2010
We just liked the place.. Reading all the reviews here, I have to say that we had a totally different impression of the Bay View Hotel. This has been our first time to Koh Phi Phi. Coming from...

A bit expensive - but OK
Date: 22 Jan 2010
We came to this resort from The Holiday Inn Patong Busakorn Villa rooms (possibly one of the best experiences and services you can have in Thailand - see reviews). I knew this place may be a gamble...

Amazing location,hotel adequate.
Date: 21 Jan 2010
Our bungalow was quite high up in relation to others, so the view over the bay was simply stunning from our balcony. Yes there is a steep walk to get to your room.. but then again it is built on a...

Not too bad, but go somewhere else for the money you pay
Date: 11 Jan 2010
This hotel was chosen for us by our travel agent and can I say, I wish she had chosen something better for the money we paid. The hotel is not too bad in all honesty. The room certainly nothing...

Good location...tired resort.....terrible service
Date: 10 Jan 2010
We decided to stay at Bay View in December for 12 nights but left after 6. Mainly because Phi Phi has changed hugely over the past 5 years...it's become overdeveloped and just isn't the sleepy...

Overpriced, rude and smelly!!
Date: 07 Jan 2010
This was the most we paid for accommodation anywhere throughout Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. It ended up being about $50/person per night and to be honest, the views and the beach were...   

Don't stay here
Date: 03 Jan 2010
It was certainly the worst and the most expensive place we stayed in Thailand. We had a bungalow with sea view, but nobody told us that the bathroom would smell like open sewage and that we would...

Worst place I've ever stayed in - there are no words to describe
Date: 02 Jan 2010
Where do I begin. With the blood on the walls? With the lizard crawling on the ceiling at 2am about to drop on our heads? With the strong smell of sewage all throughout our room? The rude staff? ...

ok
Date: 28 Dec 2009
This hotel is a bit tired, phi phi is very busy indeed and its not very relaxing, you can hear the noise of the bars in your room even though it is quite a long way away. The rooms need a lick of...

Overpriced raw sewage
Date: 23 Dec 2009
Having traveled throughout Thailand, including a number of other Islands, Bay View Resort was by far the worst. After finding that our hotel room had already been occupied by another family, we...

Loved the location!
Date: 23 Dec 2009
We went to phi phi in August 2009, and were very skeptical about the acco, as that could make or spoil our trip, even so because we had chosen a relatively in-expensive one, compared to the Big brands...  

Good location, nice hotel
Date: 23 Nov 2009
Stayed on Phi Phi for two nights and chose the Bayview mainly for the location. Only a very short long boat trip from the pier then you jump off into the sea which I think adds to the feel of island...

Over priced mediocrity with attitude
Date: 23 Nov 2009
There's one exception to every rule and I found it at Bay View. Whilst the rest of Thailand smiles and is very welcoming and friendly I found the staff here rude to begin with, then indifferent. Lots...

Pretty good
Date: 19 Nov 2009
Ok sooo, the pool sucks, but luckily you are right on a beautiful beach so it doesn't matter. The breakfast buffet is excellent. The location is good - its in the main area on Phi Phi, buts its on the...

Bay View Resort, Phi Phi Don
Date: 27 Oct 2009
PROS Good pick-up service. Upon arrival to PhiPhi Don you will be picked-up by Meeting person and transfered to hotel by LongTail boat. And your luggage to be handled and brought to Reception Desk....    

The deck loungers and views from our deck were amazing
Date: 25 Oct 2009
Booked online and after reading other reviews. Also liked the idea of being on a hill with (hopefully) great views and away from the main town area for the quiet. Had read stories of a long uphill...   

Great Place, Great Location and Awesome Time
Date: 25 Oct 2009
We choose Bay View after it was recommended by another traveller on Trip Advisor and it turned out to be a perfect choice. We arranged through Bay View a pick-up from Phuket airport to Phi Phi. The...

Not bad but could improve some areas
Date: 20 Sep 2009
We booked though the Adventure Club, and got a good price for the room and some diving, with transfers from Phuket airport by car and ferry. Everything went very smoothly, we got to the main pier on...

Fab overnight trip on Phi Phi!
Date: 15 Aug 2009
Rather than a day trip to Phi Phi, I decided to book an overnight stay as it wasn't too much more cost-wise. I booked it a day in advance - the hotel were well prepared for us and we had a fab time....

Paradise location, OK room
Date: 03 Aug 2009
My friends and me had a good stay on the Phi Phi Islands! We wanted to stay in a nice place and this was one of the cheaper ones on the Island. A bit more expensive then on the main land, but you'll...

High performance cost
Date: 19 Jul 2009
The furthest hotel in Ton Sai Bay. All blockhouses wonderful for honeymoon. Sea view blocked by trees. People can see into the room while passing by. Seems no room service.

Great Location and some of the best views....
Date: 20 May 2009
I have stayed here twice, and am planning to come back later this year and stay here again. I thought that the individual stilted bungalows were really fitting in their environment and for a 2/3...

Great service, excellent location and bungalows
Date: 05 May 2009
Stayed off peak, found hotel staff to be very very helpful, including room service helping me out at 4am! Good included breakfast, great views of the sea and Maya bay and a superb private beach. Close...

Nice resort
Date: 03 May 2009
We stayed there with the family for only a 3 days. On arrival we got a little bit upset as the transfer by boat from the pier to the hotel did not work very well. We had to wait more than 40 min and...

déçu
Date: 07 Mar 2009
en français ; très jolis bungalows de l'extérieur mais hotel très vieux , mal entretenu , avec des odeurs d'égout pestilentielles

Best Position & Value For Money
Date: 05 Feb 2009
I was really concerned about this resort after reading all the negative reviews about it, but I needn't have worried. It is rated as a 2 star resort but I have stayed in quite a few 3 & 4 star...        

Bay View Resort..Senza aqua calda
Date: 26 Nov 2008
nel complesso accettabile , problemi con la doccia calda ( che non ho mai fatto ) e col personale che parla malissimo l'inglese . posizione buona sulla spiaggia . sufficiente il ristorante annesso .
