BaanPhong Lanta

Mr Pong and his wife Enn are charming and engaging and pay unusual attention to helping you, making you feel safe and welcome and their Bungalows are extremely good value for money. providing so many detailed extras at this price range is literally unheard of so we felt really lucky to find the accommodation. convenient and close to the beach, surrounded by wonderful nature and away from noise and dirt. It’s a rustic environment but our bungalow was considered, spacious, so clean and comfortable and our hosts were very generous!

The location is only convenient if you have a moped or are prepared to hail taxis. this isn’t a criticism, more just helpful to know. There are a few cats which I wasn’t keen on but I told Mr Pong and he kept them away.

For anyone researching where to stay in Koh Lanta its like this; unless you are a middle class family of 5 you are very more than likely to rent a scooter to explore the island. With that said, there is no reason why you would not stay here. It is away from any main strip but not far when on a scooter. The accommodation is pretty new and modern. Each room comes with a tv, big fridge, a toaster and a kettle and free coffee. 7-11 is about 5 min scooter ride and you can basically buy food materials to cover your breakfast/lunch and or whatever. Beds are very comfortable and the AC is all working fine. The host, Mr Pong, is very welcoming and clearly cares greatly about all the finer details regarding your stay and will assist in any future planning. Like many other reviews left, ours was originally 2 nights and after those 2 nights and as I write this, we’re still here and will be for another 3 nights (total 1 week) which says alot. So if you’re put off by where it is, just think about it like this; there is a great likelihood you will rent a scooter anyway so you may as well just stay here where so many people have agree le that its a good spot.

very peaceful property with friendly owner in a nice location. Rooms are very clean and well kept. A/C gets really cold

nothing

I went there to relax and I must say the place is perfect for that, really quiet and a lot of birds chirping. And if you want to cuddle with someone you could drive down to the beach (5 minutes with scooter) and find yourself a significant other or just cuddle with one of the many cats that are around the premises. The room is really clean, the bed is comfy and good hot water pressure, also the internet is phenomenal. I also really like the location because you were in the middle of the island. You could go anywhere on the island in 20 minutes with scooter. All you could need and more in a 5-minute drive. Beautiful beach, 7-Eleven, pharmacy, a lot of restaurants, massage parlors... Mr. Pong and his wife offer great service, whatever you want or need, they will take care of that. Need to rent a bike, easy. Laundry, done. Hungry? No problem, they will take care of that in their restaurant. You want to go to the elephant sanctuary or snorkeling or a boat trip or even at transport back to the airport/harbor? Mr. Pong takes care of that too

For me it was perfect. I like the location but without scooter would be hard so I would definitely recommend to rent a scooter

Very lovely place to stay. the owners are super kind and they want to help you with everything. breakfast and dinner are great here, the room is modern, clean and has all the facilities you need. they picked us up from the pier and brought us to the apartment, we rented a scooter via this stay, the main centre was less than 5 minutes away. we spent 6 nights here and we could have easily stayed longer, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this place!

there was nothing we didn't like. everything was super clean and comfortable.

We really enjoyed our 6 night stay at BaanPhong Lanta, formerly known as Baan Khao Mai Kaew Lanta Village, which is the address for the property on Google Maps. Mr Pong, the owner, is a lovely man and a wonderful host. He speaks good English and is super helpful. We enjoyed our conversations with him. The rooms are clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. We slept very well during our stay. The location is approximately 2km from Klong Nin beach where there are plenty of restaurants, bars and a 7/11. We liked the quiet location as we rented a scooter from Mr Pong. We will be sure to stay again when we visit Koh Lanta.

The hosts couldn’t do enough for us, they gave lifts in to the main town/ beach area free of charge and helped us book our ferry and did laundry. The room is very modern and spacious and was very clean and comfortable. Wish we’d stayed longer !

Only downside is it’s about 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk to the beach but easy to access by motorbike or car.

Above and beyond: exceptional service from Mr Pong and cleanliness.

Our experience at BaanPhong Lanta was fantastic! Mr. Phong and his wife were exceptionally kind, helping us with transport and providing diverse activities, including motorcycle rental. The delicious breakfast and well-equipped, clean rooms made our stay memorable. We highly recommend this accommodation!

Staff is above and beyond. Location is quiet and very jungle-esque.

what I've missed are chances to "hang Out" Nö hammocks, no chance to put up your own. The restaurant is functional but not cozy. Nothing to complain about but it misses the magic
