Owner and staff are praised as incredibly kind, helpful, and well organized, assisting with scooter rental and transport arrangements. Rooms have a great, clean atmosphere with private roof terraces, and the garden is peaceful with birds and jungle sounds. The pool is described as stunning and perfect for relaxation. Guests value the quiet location surrounded by nature, with no traffic noise and fresh air. The hotel offers good value for money with simple but well-maintained facilities. A few guests mention the bathroom is less well sealed against insects, which may be uncomfortable for some. Some minor maintenance and tidying could improve the property’s overall condition. The slightly off-main-road location requires scooter rental for convenient access.

Description

Baan Boom Boxes Eco Friendly Resort is a small, modern hotel built in 2017 on Koh Samui, offering 19 rooms made from converted sea containers. The design includes private roof terraces and an inner garden, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Guests will find comfortable beds, clean rooms, and a small to mid-sized swimming pool on site. The hotel emphasizes eco-friendliness and simplicity, providing essential amenities like air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a kitchenette with a fridge and water heater in rooms. Operated by a friendly private host, the resort offers organized scooter rentals and transport arrangements, making it easy to explore the island. It’s a quiet retreat surrounded by jungle sounds and local wildlife, ideal for travelers who appreciate nature and a peaceful setting without luxury frills.

The owner is incredibly kind and amazing at organizing everything. Thanks to her, we were able to rent a scooter immediately upon arrival without even leaving the hotel. When our stay was coming to an end, she also arranged our transport to the port.

The entire staff is very friendly and well organized. The rooms have a great atmosphere and are very clean.
The surrounding nature is beautiful, creating a very relaxing atmosphere.

Love this place! Highly recommended!❤️

Lovely stay. Amazing location, close to the nature. It's very green and quite place.
The family running this place is super kind and helpful. We can definitely recommend this stay.

Excellent stay. It's fairly remotely located and has a within the jungle feel going for it. Although by scooter it's a 5 minute drive to one of the island's main roads. The houses are converted sea containers, at which they did a good job. These surround an inner garden. There is also a small to mid sized swimming pool. Each house has their own little roof terrace as well. Overall, comfortable rooms and beds. You will sleep well under the relaxing sounds of jungle animals.

On that note, if you are squeamish about little insects and amphibians this might not be the place for you. The room is well closed off, but the bathroom is less so.

The people working there were very friendly and went out of their way to help you.

My only real minor gripe with the place is that it could use some more thorough maintenance and tidying. Still, I think it's a great stay though, we certainly enjoyed it.

We had such a lovely stay at Baan Boom Boxes. Great value for money. Simple but clean and well maintained. The garden was beautiful and peaceful, with birds singing instead of traffic noise. There were a few cute cats and dogs around, which made it feel cozy and homely. The pool was stunning and perfect for relaxing. Yes, the floor wasn’t completely straight, but it added to the charm. The owner and staff were really friendly and genuinely grateful. We’d happily come back.

It's a little way off the main road, which to me as a scooter rider isn't an issue. The owners and staff are fantastic and the location is quiet and beautiful. I particularly like the room top terrace and the room balcony (1 of 2). There is a full sized fridge freezer and kitchenette which is super handy for prepping breakfast and snacks. There's even a small water heater for drinks and noodles. The owner can arrange anything it seems. She was able to provide good value transfers, ferry tickets, excursion tickets and scooter hire. Nothing was too much bother. The night time is silent but for the wildlife. I will definitely stay here again, when I come back to Samui.

Very special hotel. We really enjoyed our stay. The boxes are unique and well done. Since it’s a bit away from the Main Street, it’s really quiet and you can hear a lot of jungle noises. We recommend renting a scooter to get around. The pool was nice. And the best thing was the lady working there. She was super sweet and helped us a lot with arranging a hotel transfer to the ferry including several stops to pick up our friends from other hotels. And it was cheaper than getting a Grab or Bolt!

The Owner was super friendly, the Hotel was quiet. There are a few dogs, cats and chicken. All of them were pretty chill and always up for pats.

Best accommodation of the trip so far!
Tipphaya, our host, was incredible. She couldn’t help us enough, booking ferries, motorbikes for us.

The property is beautiful, very clean and eco-friendly.

100% will stay here again!

Great place and the staff/owner are very nice, we even got a free upgrade and after we checked the room we booked two more nights, because we liked it so much. The room was super clean! You need a scooter to get around (300 Baht per day), but apart from that the location is perfect - you're in the middle of the jungle therefore no traffic noise and the air is very fresh. Breakfast is very basic (egg, toast, marmelade, fresh orange juice and fresh mango/jackfruit/papaya/etc.), but good. If you just want a clean room and nothing luxurious this is the perfect choice!
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
