I had such an amazing stay at this bungalow! The view over the sea was absolutely stunning, and the location was so calm and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff were incredibly kind and always ready to help with anything I needed, which made the experience even better.

The food was delicious, and I truly enjoyed every meal. I also really appreciated the convenient services like laundry and motorbike rental—they made everything so easy and comfortable.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay so much and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful place to unwind!

Well designed bungalow, very quiet position near the ferry pier.

This time Tripadvisor really backfired on us. We read the one review of bad experience but thought it would be different as our vacation was during the peak season. It was not different. We had booked 5 nights in superior bungalow but left after first night. (And still had to pay for 2,5 nights). Location was nice and it looked good outside but when entering the room feeling turned upside down. Room was dirty and empty and felt like you were living in the shack. The bed was extremely hard- like you were sleeping on the floor. The blanket was full of cigarette burns and had no cover on it. The worst thing still was the pillows. They were totally covered with mold which is also a health risk. The bungalow was sealed with old plastic bags and there were insect feces every where. Toilet was quite disgusting as well. No opportunity to get food (only some drinks) and we were even charged of drinks we were offered when arrived. The place just is not well maintained. Overall it looked like owner had stopped caring long time ago. It is not worth of money. There are a lot better places in same price range on the island. I don't mind if place I sleep in is ascetic but this was just nasty. Spend your money for something better.

An incredible experience!

This stay was simply magical. The accommodation is perfect: the bungalows are beautiful and ideally located right in front of the beach. Every morning, you wake up to a breathtaking view of the crystal-clear water, and the setting is absolutely idyllic.

The small tables near the beach add a lovely touch, perfect for enjoying the scenery in total serenity. The atmosphere is peaceful and rejuvenating, exactly what you’d expect from a paradise like this.

And the hospitality? Just amazing. The hosts are incredibly kind and always ready to share their best tips and advice. Don’t hesitate to ask them for recommendations – they know every hidden gem and will help make your experience even more special.

A huge thank you for these unforgettable moments. If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay, this is it!

Wonderful on ko mak
Fantastic accommodation. Comfortable beds, beautiful view, close to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. Smile cooking school within walking distance. Close to the pier, where boats go to other islands and the mainland.

We loved the fan-only bungalow. It was quite rustic and reminded my husband of places where he grew up in the Philippines. Rustic but it had everything we needed and a terrific view from the porch. The beach area and the reef just offshore were terrific.

An excellent location by a private beach. Super nice sand and easy way to the water. Nice snorkelling as well. There are few bungalowe so it seems very private and chilled. The owners are a very cute and helpful couple :) they helped us arrange a scooter. The food was super tasty. Perfect gateway.
