“Beautiful and Different type of get away”
This hotel is a far cry from your normal hotel. With having replica's of boats that used to move goods around Thailand as your room was quick impressive. The grounds and service were great as well. My only issue was that we could not take a nice warm shower as the hot water to our boat did not flow that well.
“Still great”
I have been traveling to Samui for 20 years, and the boathouse remains one of my favorite hotels. The hotel layout and pools are truly charming, the staff is always attentive, the rooms are extremely nice, excellent breakfast, the location is great though a bit quiet, nice places to eat on the beach but no bar scene since the clientele tends to be European couples and families. And it is all for a fabulous price! One of the best bargains on Samui.
