Stay was good apart from getting burned! Hot shower burst on me and I was burned quite badly. Staff acted fast and put us in another room which was better. They were very remorseful and apologised. I healed with ice packs etc., no scaring....thank goodness.

good value a little out of town
5.7
nice pool area but in places a little tatty.
Easy to arrange transport to town or a 10 minute walk down the hill.
Hotel provides a safe in the room, I suggest you use it as it look as though somebody had tried to break into one of our rooms during our stay. This wasn't clear and nothing was stolen

good rooms.
pool area is nice but a little tatty.
not much else at the hotel but 10-15 mins walk to town or easy to arrange a tuk tuk.
Use the safe though, security might be an issue

Decent joint, 15 min walk to beaches.
Close to everything in Karon
7
perfectly adequate but nothing special. you may have read that karon is 'patong's little sister', but in terms of nightlife and gogo bars, it's really more of an afterbirth. only 20 min (400 baht) taxi ride to patong, slightly farther to phuket town.
Hotel Feature Tip:
The hotel charges 600 baht for additional guests, so be sure to book hotel with 2 guests if travelling alone and plan to have company.

The usual hotel near the road
Сomfortable interior, good pool
4.7
we've stayed for 4 nights: stuff was not frendly, some were rough, lampshades were dirty (with dust and dirty stains), sunbad were dirty, plastic white chairs were black, tile in mold in bathroom, water drops from washbasin and of pipes to the floor, at cafe the flies swarmed over the vegetables, tea and coffee were terrible, but we used 4 towels for pool and beach at the same time - you don't need to take them at reception - stuff changed them at the room, there is internet at reception, transfer to Kata beach once in the morning

Hotel ok, but not very close to things.
Decent breakfast each morning. Rental scooters were not expensive. Room was clean and bottled water was provided each day. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The room was not quite big enough for 3 people. It was ok since we didn't spend a lot of time in the room, but a slightly larger room for 3 would have been more comfortable. The air conditioning broke the second night we were there, but the staff came and got it fixed within a few minutes. We wouldn't 'not' recommend this hotel, but now that we know the area a bit more, we will probably choose a different one if we get to Phuket again.

1,5km from beach!
Rooms were clean, yet, a bit dated.
5.3
People there didn't look very happy. Too many people for the small pool (people "reserve" chairs by the pool at 7am), probably because the beach is a fairly long way. Contrary to the claims that this hotel is near to the beach, it's a 1.5km walk. It's nowhere near the sea or beach and you need to walk about half of that over a dangerous road without sidewalk. It's that or paying the overpriced taxi's that are arranged for your convenience by the hotel staff. This was by far the lowest value for money we got in our Thailand trip. (We had deluxe room D2 next to the pool).
Hotel Feature Tip:
Don't book a taxi via the reception. Airport taxi costs 600 bath arranged via a travel agency in town while they ask for 800 bath.

Baan Karon, nice and friendly
rooms comfortable, english movie channels, pool area, freshly made breakfast
6.7
we stayed 2 nights in baan karon, was less visited at this time (october), friendly staff.
really quiet and calm. flowers for our welcome. no taxis with taxometer, just private taxis or too expensive tuk-tuks.
but who likes it quiet, familiar and personally, this is a real recommended place to stay.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
party is in patong
