About Bhundhari Residence Koh Samui
Positioned directly on Chaweng Beach, one of Koh Samui's most visited and energetic coastal strips, this beachfront hotel offers guests immediate access to the island's sand, sea, and surrounding atmosphere of restaurants, bars, and shops. The location remains its strongest asset, placing visitors within easy reach of Chaweng's lively beach culture without needing transport for most day-to-day activity.
Visitors should approach with realistic expectations. Reviewers consistently note that the property, while once a higher-standard resort, has aged considerably and has not kept pace with upkeep. Reports of dated rooms, peeling paint, dusty surfaces, and missing or non-functional in-room amenities — including Wi-Fi, television, and in-room safes — suggest a gap between what is advertised online and what guests actually find on arrival. The beach access itself has also been flagged as less straightforward than the beachfront positioning implies.

Reviews from Google
If you're looking for a hotel near Samui Airport, this one is conveniently located with a nice atmosphere, although the rooms might be a bit dated, but not excessively so. It's quiet and peaceful, situated on a hill with beautiful sea views. The staff provides good service.
Don't believe the amenities posted. The photos are Old. Plus the room amenities are WRONG rooms have NO wifi-NO TV-NO satellite or cable-NO in room safe. Not walking distance to anything. The beach access across the street is Nasty, trash everywhere. Mosquitos are bad. Pretty entrance, large room but WiFi was important to have. No manager on site, I tried calling & messaging several times to manager but never responded to any of my messages. The complex is very neglected
This resort is 3 stars at best. It may have been 4 or 5 stars 20-30 years ago. Now it’s dated, old, no upkeep, paints falling off, etc. you can see once you enter the parking lot towards the reception. The dragon statue seen it’s better days, reception is just desk with only one staff and the hotel has many unattended spaces. Also, this will be basic to most basic hotels even but there is no WiFi in room so glad we only stayed here one night.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
