Bhundhari Resort & Villas Samui
Compare prices
Set in the quieter Bo Put area of Koh Samui's north shore, this property operates as a mix of resort accommodation and villa-style lodging, and also functions as a wedding venue, spa, and bar. It occupies a beachfront position away from the island's busier tourist strips, which suits travellers looking for a slower pace rather than proximity to nightlife.
Prospective guests should approach with realistic expectations. Recent visitor reviews raise consistent concerns worth noting before booking: reports of brown water from bathtubs, limited breakfast variety, and a hotel restaurant that closes as early as 5pm have appeared across multiple stays. Some reviewers also note a discrepancy between promotional imagery and the current condition of the property. On a more positive note, some guests have found the traditional Thai atmosphere and villa-style rooms appealing, particularly those who booked through third-party platforms and communicated directly with the host.
For practical planning, the cool and dry season running from November to February generally offers the best weather on Koh Samui's north coast. Given the limited on-site dining options and early restaurant closing times, it is worth identifying nearby Bo Put restaurants and arranging reliable transport before arrival if you plan to explore the wider island. Checking current room availability and condition directly through the resort's website or your chosen booking platform is advisable before confirming a reservation.

We booked through Airbnb and the host was responsive to our questions and needs. Note that this place was previously a hotel but has been revamped to be more of an “Airbnb” style. The rooms are nicely decorated and in the traditional style but there’s a bit of dust/stain around the room and bathroom. The location is also quite far from most things (def need a bike or grab to places) and the steep hill is BRUTAL. Luckily they offer a golf cart service for free between 1-9pm. But the views are stunning! 🌅
We stayed here for 2 nights. Experience was okay. The tap of bath tub doesn’t work. The water is brown. The hotel restaurant closes at 5 pm. There is hardly any option/ variety in breakfast. More like a b&b stay.
This stay was one of the worst experiences I have ever made on this vacation. The pictures on their webside are good looking but this resort needs an all over remodeling of almost anything. I booked the Best Room Category with own Pool and wonderful bathtub to celebrate my anniversary day with my wife. But when I wanted to let water inside the bathtub drain it didn‘t even close properly so you can Imagine how obset I was. The slidedoor between bathroom and bedroom got stuck, so I couldn‘t close the door and so on…… Nobody was in reach, Nobody cares the next day when we were at the reception. To keep a long story short….. NEVER EVER AGAIN !!

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.
Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
