Uphill Cottage

3.8(371 reviews)

Uphill Cottage is a lodging property situated on Ko Phi Phi in Krabi Province, positioned away from the crowded beachfront strips that define much of Phi Phi's busier tourist zones. Its hillside setting provides a quieter base for travellers who want access to the island's famous beaches and scenery without being in the thick of the nightlife and congestion that characterises lower-lying areas. Guests can expect a modest, cottage-style accommodation experience rather than a resort with extensive facilities. The property suits travellers who prioritise location and simplicity over luxury amenities. The front desk and reception operate daily from 07:00 to 21:00, so guests arriving by late ferry should plan accordingly, as after-hours check-in may require advance arrangement with the property. Good to know: Ko Phi Phi is accessible only by boat from Krabi Town or Phuket, and getting to an uphill property typically involves navigating uneven paths or steps with luggage, which can be challenging in the heat. Travellers with heavy bags or mobility concerns should factor this in before booking. Checking the property website directly at uphillcottage.com for current room availability, rates, and any updated policies is recommended, as price levels are not publicly listed and may vary by season.

Book Shoulder Season

May–June and September–October offer dramatic discounts (30–50% off peak rates) with fewer crowds. Weather is mixed but rarely a washout — afternoon showers clear quickly.

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.
