Aonang Lake Side Guest house

Was close enough too walk into Ao Nang about 25 minutes. Only down sides for our room was the WiFi did not reach, the bathroom smell awful and the taps and the shower handles were pretty grim.

Slept in a bungalow.
Owners were very very nice and helpful. Even got an orange juice when we arrived.
Nice pool and beautiful nature around. They really care about the garden.
Con: toilet was blocked soon, needed to fix it. There was no tube under the sink, so as like the water from the shower also the water from the sink splashed on the floor, and then splashing on your feet again.
The whole bathroom in the bungalow should be renovated.
The beach was nice but in the afternoon you couldn't swim because of low tide. But beautiful to walk also to some small islands.
Beach 1,1 km away from hotel. So quite far to walk. And also the next supermarket was 15 mins away from the hotel.

You can get so much better for the same price, so please don’t stay here. It’s not worth it. These are not the romantic bungalows you’re searching for. We were supposed to stay for three days but we decided to forget about the wasted money for the last day and moved to a different hotel.

We had initially chosen this location because I really wanted to live in a bungalow. However the bungalow I imagined in my dreams was a far cry from what we actually received even though the pictures online and seemed rather good. I believe the rating on booking actually reflects a better picture of what this is because this is definitely not a 4 1/2 star place.

Let’s start off with the good. It’s a rather sweet territory with the birds chirping around and butterflies flying around obviously playing. We had a nice blue sink we did which wasn’t shipped in anyway. When we arrived we had two bottles of water in the fridge two soaps and toilet paper. Initially we were supposed to stay for three days. The room was something like cleaned only on the second night. The bedding was changed and we got a fresh roll of toilet paper. There was also nice porch. The pool is also very nice though there are quite a few tiles missing and nobody bothered to replace them. There are several plastic bags to sunbathe on however they’re only three so whenever more than one couple comes there’s not enough. There’s also a shower next to the pool. I wasn’t able to get it working however the girl that came out to me was.

If you do decide to stay here here’s a life hack. Make sure to aim the fan at the window during the night. That way it pushes all the hot air out and you get the nice cool air for when you sleep.

Now for the bad. There’s not enough until nation in the room. And judging as there is both you’re sleeping area and the bathroom and one room with no wall separating it this is rather bad there’s no window in the bathroom which makes the room in the whole bungalow very stuffy. It is very difficult to get fresh air in the room and as a result it is always stuffy there and difficult to breathe.

Everything is very dated an old but was struck me most was the carelessness of the owners. When we arrived there was some guys shirt in our wardrobe. Nobody even bothered to throw it out. There are also two very old toothbrushes right next to the sink. No one bothered to throw even those out. And while I understand that rebuilding a Bungalo may be difficult adding a hole for ventilation in the bathroom is not. Moreover there was obviously some kind of insulation hole in the ceiling as we could see it was covered up, but I would’ve preferred not to have been covered up. I wasn’t able to get any Wi-Fi in the room however my husband was able to get the Wi-Fi from the common area.
