There aren't many (any?) affordable options like this one left on Chaweng Beach! Really enjoyed the location and the kind, sincere service. Our room was great - clean, quiet, and comfortable with a pleasant seating area out front. Good prices at the beach-front restaurant, too. Amazing value all around.

Great Locational and affordable!
Pros: Walking distance from beach with lots of restaurants and drink options Right by the night market with lots of bars and shopping Room and bathroom were clean with nice balcony area AC worked well Super quiet area! Cons: Outlets poorly placed and barely held in a plug Standard Thai bed so pretty hard and paper thin sheets Curtains didn’t block out any light from outside and lights left on all night. Recommend a sleep mask if you’re sensitive to that Overall my friend and I enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again if I go back to Samui

Ok place
The room was clean, very basic but did the job for one night. There is a bar/restaurant on the beach but closes at 8.30 which is a shame. Its just on the edge of the busy Chewang area and was nice and quiet. Food and drinks were reasonably priced.

The place is on the beach and looks nice with the gardens. It's pretty quiet except for some minor construction work. Beware, they are running a scam where they try to charge you for untouched bottled water from your room.

Lovely garden setting on the Beach.
I had seen and viewed reviews of OP Bungalows and wanted to visit. It did not disappoint. Our standard garden room was large and the garden area is very pleasant. The rooms are basic, not much decor; standard but large. There is a TV, the beds are ok. The AC worked well. The bathroom was more updated, large, and comfortable. Amenities are body wash and shampoo. It was pleasant to walk to the beach/restaurant from the rooms. The food and service in the restaurant is good. They have a nice Happy Hour selection of cocktails as well. While the resort next door has fabulous architectural elements and outdoor space, those resorts are well over $100 more a night. For a location that OP Bungalows has, the value is incredible. The Reception helped arrange tours and taxi. And Staff were very pleasant. I would stay again, and upgrade to maybe a private bungalow. But we were satisfied with the Standard room. We didn’t spend much time in the room other than shower and sleep. Because of the layout of the property, the Bungalows face into and across gardens. None of the properties along the Beach have truly “ocean front” rooms. The open air dining and beach lounge area is on the beach.

Great Room, lousy internet
The room is very nice. Big room, nice bathroom. Close to the beach, as in 40 seconds from the room. Good breakfast. Secure parking for your mopeds. Friendly staff that speak English welll. I do have to say that the WiFi is very unpredictable and weak. Don’t expect to do much planning online unless you have a good data plan on your device.

A good place to stay away from the Hustle
I checked in late (around 9:30pm) so I had to search for someone to check me in, but it wasn't too difficult. They showed me to my room and it was all set up well for me. As usual, they turned on the AC for me and showed me how to use it. The Wifi was so-so. The bed was comfy and sheets were clean. The windows are old and don't seal properly but the AC was good. The shower was OK - loses warmth quickly and the power fluctuates which can cause it to shoot up and soak half the bathroom. The restaurant has decent service and decent food at decent prices. Good if you are lazy or by the beach, but far better food elsewhere. The staff were mostly not particularly polite, but not rude either...kind of uninterested and lacked training maybe? Overall a nice stay in a quiet area only about 10 minutes walk to all the main bars and restaurants, although there are plenty of quieter ones in that area.

Older style bungalows in a great position.
We knew OP Bungalows from previous visits to Koh Samui, but this was the first time we stayed there. The bungalows have more 'air' around them than the newer places, and the gardens give the place an essential tropical feel, which is lacking in resorts where the focus is on the number of buildings that can be crammed on a site, rather than the ambience. Go to Chewang Noi for beautiful bungalows in luscious gardens - but if you can't afford those and want to experience an island vibe then OP is a good, low budget, choice. OP is not TOO close to the flight path - over Chewang Beach - but you can still hear the planes. It's a short walk up to the street where you can catch a baht bus or taxi or walk around the shops. Despite being so close the street noise doesn't invade the bungalow area at all. We ate at the restaurant a few times and the food was good, and not overpriced. There's no swimming pool but you can swim in the sea right at the front of the resort, there's just a bit of weed you have to navigate around. The water is shallow and has no waves on this part of Chewang but the upside is the speedboats and jet-skiers keep away. Oh - and take your mosquito spray to Koh Samui.

Okay hotel
Service in the hotel was okay, not too great though. At the beach the sunbeds included in the room rate, that was nice. But if you rent a motorbike it's 200baht/24hrs and if you want to bring it back 2 hours later it costs 100baht... Hot water runs out very quickly, and the aircon is fair, not great. One bag was left behind, and when we called back to the htoel, they said that there was nothing in the room....

You get what you pay for.
Stayed for 2 weeks end of June beginning July 2016. Room was basic but clean and tidy. No tea/coffee facilities in rooms and no microwave/oven so you had to eat out.Wifi was very very poor with web pages unable to load at all very often and this was very important to me. Wifi was described as high speed by Hotels.com which it definitely was not, there was some service in the mornings. Beach area was nice enough and staff always polite. Weather hot most of the time.I would not go again due to the broadband issues,if you don't need that service then for the price it was decent. You get what you pay for.

Horrible room, no internet connection, had to move
Have to say this was one of the worse rooms I’ve ever stayed in. I believe it was a ‘standard’ villa. Can only describe it as an abomination, thai 1980’s style, yellow and green, Ceiling tiles painted yellow, CRT TV, windows that don’t close, can hear everything outside and from next door, disgusting looking old dirty Sanyo fridge in the corner of the room. The towels smelt mouldy as if they’d been air dried and not dried fast enough. Door lock was dodgy. Bed was fine. The location is fine, I never eat here so can’t comment on that. Looking around it appears some villas have been modernized and some haven’t, obviously I was in one of the run down tatty ones. Be warned as well, there was literally NO Internet access, none. this was my first time in samui and I told the lady and she said it was normal for Samui, this was obviously a lie as I moved hotels down the street a couple hundred yards to evergreen resort and the internet was perfect. The owner I found to be extremely grumpy, when checking out she made me hang around 10-15 minutes while the maid checked the fridge to see if I’d taken anything, then I asked if I could leave a bag and collect it in 45 minutes and she didn’t seem happy about that either. I can’t help but feel a lot of these reviews of this place are fake. It’s false representation saying there’s wifi when it doesn’t work. The 3G on my phone worked miles better than the internet in the hotel.

A little bit different!
I have stayed here several times over the past ten years. I stay in the deluxe bungalow, basic but what do you need ! bungalow is spacious, quiet, TV ,nice veranda with seating for the evening. The food served in the evening is very good indeed, but I was a little underwhelmed with the breakfast that was included in the price. There was very little choice, ie scrambled eggs or omelette ! toast or croissant ! I would have had egg fried rice ! Location perfect simple as that. Nice staff and owner. Lot of time spent on garden area around the bungalows which is really nice.

Awesome place on the beach, great food and staff!!
This place was excellent, we had a bungalow on the beach and the room was great, lots of space and very cool outdoor shower. Great location, quieter end of the beach, but a very short walk to all the action. Lots of scooter rentals in the area, one right at the entrance to the hotel. Spent Christmas Day here with my family and it was a blast!

Great location but dirty rooms, not great service
OP bungalow is a good budget place located right on chaweng beach. But you get what you pay for. The rooms have stained walls and there were a couple of dead bugs were on the bed sheets when we arrived. We asked housekeeping, who had an entire pile of clean towels in front of them, for an extra towel for the beach and they told me my towels were in the room. I explained i wanted an extra one and she replied stating that she cleaned my room and that is where the towels are. Very frustrating. I accepted the fact that this place doesn't give out extra towels but then 15 min later they knock on my door and point to the towels in the room. Clearly an issue with language barrier, but not a good start to the trip. I ended up just walking on the beach instead of laying on an old chair without a towel underneath. They only provide one key which was very inconvenient for us. And they charge to use their safe deposit. The beach area is very nice but the ladies giving massages on the beach yell out "massageeee" whenever someone passes by. This gets very annoying when you see trying to relax by the beach. Overall - I wouldn't stay again. chaweng beach is liked with hotels in all ranges. You can %100 do better.
