Lovely ”

Amazing cheerful staff. They make this place truly special...even informally playing with the children so that the parent guests can have downtime during meals. I prefer Smile to nearby Bottle bungalows because it's next to a forested cliff, so you get more greenery and bird and insert sounds in the morning.

Best value for money”

Stayed Bottle beach bungalow 2, but changed to Smile. Was cheaper, better room and beach is better that side. West side has fewer jellyfish in sea and water is cleaner. Better to eat at bottle beach 1 A’s has better food.

Heavenly place. Not for party animals ”

The hotel & the beach of the bungalow is heavenly. However, the way of transportation is not good. You have to take local taxi & then long tail boat to reach the bungalow. Highly recommended for couples or family trip. Not for party animals.

Nice location”

Location is beautiful. We stayed for 3nights, but wish we could stay longer. Everything is great, but do not forget to bring your own food, because eating every time at restaurant is quite expensive here.

As the name suggests - all smiles”

The sea was too rough for me to take the boat in to Bottle Beach as one usually would, so the owner actually came and picked me up from the pier. When I checked out, they even drove me to my next hotel, all gratis. This really blew me away. The owner is extremely friendly, and the beach is beautiful and secluded. A great experience.

Low key escape on Koh Pha Ngan”

Smile Bungalows is a great alternative to the busier beaches on the island. The bungalow was rustic but comfortable, with a great private porch and separate downstairs bathroom (do door, but still private enough). Bottle Beach is for those looking to chill out for a while. There are only a few hotels/restaurants on the beach, but I didn't need anything more.

Beautiful place”

Beautiful place, very calm beach, far away from everything Very nice and simple bungalows, but very dissapointed with the cold showers and bad wifi Restaurant is nice and cheap compared to the others on the beach, but they often got my order wrong

Beautiful hideaway on private beach”

If you’re looking for a place with a quiet beach, secluded from the hub bub of the world, this place is perfect. Bottle beach only have a few bungalow guest houses, Smile Bungalows being one of them. I enjoyed my stay with them. I had my own bamboo bungalow on top of a hill where I could see the beautiful ocean through the trees. It’s bare minimal a which was fine for me, but not everyone’s preference. It’s a room with a bed, a mosquito net, and a fan. One ledge to put stuff on, no cabinets or shelves. The bathroom was clean and interesting design with shells and rocks placed in stucco. No water heater for the shower(but it’s so warm, the cool water is refreshing). I got a porch with my own hammock (favorite place to read) and two chairs and a table outside. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have a delicious restaurant and bar with reasonable prices. A few times a week they do a BBQ and fire show on the sand. I would stay there again.

استثنائيّ”

An absolute gem!! Only supposed to stay here for 3 nights and ended up staying a week! Only about 4 or 5 other resorts on this beautiful secluded beach so it was really great. You cant get down to the resort without a 4x4 so taxis/mopeds are no use. However they can collect you from the pier, bring and collect you from full moon and bring you back to the pier for a fee, just email them. Definitely recommend this place; its very basic but its paradise!

Beautiful”

Restaurant a bit expensive and inconsistent. One day a dish would be awesome, the next day, the same dish would be lacklustre. Adorable, simple bungalows, friendly smiley staff. Gorgeous, relatively empty beach, especially when day trippers leave. Relaxing, quiet, beautiful. Don't come if you're looking for lots of amenities or action.

nice bungalows”

We stayed in the 2 story bungalows with fan. The bedroom was upstairs and the bathroom was downstairs by way of a very steep staircase. Very clean and comfortable. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. The location was not as good as others for the same price- or cheaper- right on the beach. To get to the 2 story bungalows, you must go up a big hill and it is not right on the beach. Food at their restaurant was good but slow. If you don't mind the hike up the hill and would prefer to be not on the beach, then these bungalows are perfect.

Location”

Comparing to the rest of this "party island" you will find on bottle beach a place to relax and calm down. And if you still want to go to the full moon party, you don't have to be worried! Smile bungalows will organize the transfers for you! I recommend this place to people who don't need the comforts of a 5 stars hotel but looking for people who like to meet other in a familiar atmosphere. I will come back! That's for sure

A lovely holiday with a smile!”

Our stay was lovely! Our room was basic but clean but the holiday was so enjoyable because of the amazing and friendly staff at smile! I would love to go again! Thank you for finishing off an amazing holiday! We will never forget you!

Hidden Gem! Friendly staff and fantastic food!”

We had a brilliant stay at Smile! Being a travel agent myself I would recommend this property to all my customers. The owner and staff made us feel welcome and the customer care far exceeded the level we received in many 5 star hotels! We were made to feel so welcome! We was even invited for a meal with the family and staff and made to feel like one of the family. Perfect location, amazing hosts, and brilliant food! (I would recommend the cream chicken!!) it was my second visit to Smile and I would defiantly return in the future! 5 out of 5!! Dom & Steph

Simple but precious stay in quiet bottle beach”

I stayed 5 nights in 2 story bungalow. it was my second time to visit Bottle beach, it is one of my favorite beach in Ko Phangan. The bungalow is very simple and clean-no hot water, no air con, electricity in the room is switched off during the day, and of course no Wifi in the room. I just had extreme chill out 5 days-wake up, beach all day, read books, fallen asleep by listening to crushing waves and all the natural sounds at night. Staff were very friendly, and they picked me up with their jeep from Bantai area. Food there is quite average... but do not expect the best, it is not cheap at all. After 5 pm, most of the day trip visitors are gone, so it is extremely quiet at the beach. There is not much happening in the evening- if you like to seclude yourself from the rest of the world, i highly recommend it!!! Otherwise.... I would suggest day trip here!

Had an awesome time here! Great staff! f”

Excellent value for money! Staff was the best here, so is the chilled out atmosphere. We loved to chill out in the restaurant /bar. It's ridiculous that they only had great music which emphasized the atmosphere of the whole resort. Staff would come and sit down next to you and start a small talk. Jo, Pain and Babu are just great people! Rooms were good, nothing fancy, but I liked it. Bathrooms are nicely done. Expect some ants, but you're in the jungle, so... The only thing that was annoying is the next door resort. Nice place but they seem to be popular with younger folks. So they will play loud electro music. Was not too loud that it would annoy you at Smile, but it ruins the whole secluded atmosphere of Bottle Beach.

Killer spot!”

It's probably one of the most remote places you can stay on the island, which means getting there is no simple task but that's what keeps everyone else away and makes it so amazing. There are no roads to this place because its surrounded by jungle and mountains so you need take a boat to bottle beach which the hotel is located on. Once you're there it's amazing. Incredibly intimate, great company, amazing beach you feel totally hidden and free. Just remember to bring everything you need! Town is a 30 min boat ride away so you can feel a bit stranded if you've left something behind.

Magical location”

The best location I stayed at on a 1 month trip. It can only be reached by boat or a dirt track road. Had a really good and relaxed time at Bottle Beach. Very quiet and all you can do is relax. Cut off from the world as there is only one place with wifi. Smile Bungalows is a really nice resort. The 2-storey bungalow has a really nice bathroom, balcony and a bit of sea view. The bed was a bit musty but with this humid climate there is not much that can be done and it did not bother me much. The restaurant area is really nice and a very social space with low tables and matresses. Food was really good and the staff very nice and helpful. Had a brilliant time there! Very good value for money!

Service with a smile”

I enjoyed the view of the beach here. However the bungalow i stayed was not very clean, the mattres was dusty. The staffs were very helpful and smiling. They have pick-up service from Thong-sala to the hotel or versa at just 200baht. So remember to call them in advance if you dont want to spend 500baht for transportation of taxi and long-tail boat.

Decent bungalows on a nice beach”

The bungalows are rather small and basic (flashing the toilet with a bucket) however situated in a beautiful garden and each bungalow is not that close to others, so you can enjoy your peace & quiet.The sheets, bed & towels are clean and the fan is quiet and working very well. The beach is beutiful however not that wide especially when there is a surge and you might find it problematic to find a spot with sun as there are lots of palmtrees giving much shade. The owner is really friendly and he can arrange to pick you up if you are arriving late and there is no way to get by a boat (he didn;t charge us for the pick up however we ate a lot at their restaurant). The food there is also very good. To get ut of the beach you have to take a taxi boat which costs 100B per person.
