Absolutely LOVED my stay at Sarocha Villa - Prim and her family were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The bungalows were clean and spacious, and as a lone female traveller I felt very safe here. Thank you for a fantastic stay!
| Very efficient and helpful - even when I had to change the date of my booking there was no problem. Payment went through easily and with no security issues. Perfect!

The location of the hotel is not that great - all the action is either on Lamai or Chaweng beaches (150-200 Bath to get to Lamai by taxi)and the hotel is located by ... the local cemetryRoom is rather basic (as promised) , no hair drier included.The service, oh the service!This is the ONLY time anyone shouted at during my stay in Thailand !!!When I booked at Sawadee.com, I was asked to pay only 25% of the total. When the manager asked me pay the rest at the hotel, another 3% were added to my bill - credit card fee. It was not a significant sum of money, but still...When I refused paying additional 3%,claiming that it was not stated anywhere on Sawadee or at the hotel s site, then it happen... Only when she understood, that there is no way she is getting cash - paying through Sawadee was the compromise. (Thanx Sawadee!)The only thing she ve earned - is this bad review at Sawadee...Look for better place...
| Bookin with Sawadee is great: fast and efficient!

I can recommend Sarocha Villa. It s in a quiet secluded place, much nicer than other parts around Lamai beach. The room was clean and comfortable. The lady in charge of the Villa was kind and friendly. There is a good restaurant down the road past the temple.

Great place with very friendly and easygoing staff. They helped arrange almost everything we though up. Rooms are clean and spacey. The villa has private quiet beach. There is very good Italian restaurant few steps towards Lamai center. Taxi to the Lamai beach costs around 200 Baths. Location is indeed quite remote from the noisy center but it makes the place perfect escape form the crowds.

This is one of the best places to stay in Samui.The price is right, it s comfortable, it s clean and the service is great. Please note this is not the same as staying at a resort and is very simple living. But the biggest thing to me is CLEANLINESS and this place has it! It s a quality family owned place. Check out their website before you visit. They also offer free use of sea kayaks for you to take out anywhere. You can kayak over to Grandfather and Grandmother rocks, which is a big tourist attraction. They offer a great traditional American breakfast for the morning. They re located at the southern part of Lamai, which allows for you to escape the other, more touristy areas. I would highly recommend Sarocha Villa!
| Easy booking, but I recommend calling the villa through their website, rather than on here.

Nice place to stay. Service was excellent. The only downside was there were no coffee makers in the room and the restaurant had limited hours. Overall great value for the money.

Неплохое тихое место для одинокого туриста или семьи. Ежедневная уборка в номере, чистые полотенца. По-моему, даже насекомых на территории травят. В стоимость входит завтрак. До моря 20 метров, но по отливу в нем много травы. До мест развлечений достаточно близко, через дорогу чудный итальянский ресторанчик.

Thanks to Ms.Primrat, her family and her pretty dogs :) Sarocha became our favorite place during the last trip to Thailand. Just arriving there we found ourselves in a pleasant home-like atmosphere, and this feeling constantly deepened during our stay. The hotel is located in a small bay with a picturesque scenery. Sarocha definitely has one of the best views all over the island. The beach was declared as a southern part of Lamai, but in fact it s divided by rocks from the main beach, that makes it more secluded and romantic. If you find the sea shallow during low tides, just take a moto-bike (you can rent it in a hotel at a good price) or a songthau-taxi and get a short ride (3-5 min) to the main beach of Lamai. You can also take a kayak (it s free in Sarocha) and go 30 meters offshore behind the coral reef. It s very comfortable to swim there (of cource, if somebody s waiting you in kayak:) By kayak you can also easily go to the famous rocks Hin Ta and Hin Yai, they are in a short distance to the North. The hotel has 2 types of accommodations: beach-front villas with kitchenette, and garden-view bungalows few steps behind. But in fact all the garden-view bungalows have a beautiful sea view from their terraces. So, having decided to stay in the garden don t be afraid to be at the back of beyond. Wi-Fi Internet is free of charge and works all over the territory of the hotel, that is very convenient. All the trips (or tickets to the neighbor islands) you can book at the hotel too. The price will be the same or lower, comparing with what you get from the travel agencies. If you have enough time, I would recommend to take a moto-bike or a car and to drive around the island. The highest waterfalls, Aquarium, Butterfly garden, Safari Park with Elephant tracking, Cable Ride and many other sights are quite close to the hotel. And last but not least, it s the best value for money you can find on Samui. If I come to Samui again, I will definitely have no doubts where to stay.
| Fast and efficient, as always...
