The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and speak excellent English. The breakfast here is absolutely fantastic, I'd even call it a lunch! My room overlooked the garden, with a small bungalow-style table right outside the window. The building itself is made of foam blocks, so it stays cool; concrete takes longer to heat up. The fridge is huge, perfect for storing lots of fruit and water. It's right next to Na Baan Pier, and scooter parking is free. If you rent a scooter, make sure to video record it, noting all existing scratches! I give the hotel and staff a 5+++. You can enjoy unlimited tea and coffee! There's also a gate nearby for direct access to the sea. They even let me check in early! The owner explained everything about the mini-bar in the fridge, with prices clearly listed. I paid a 100 baht deposit, and he checked everything and returned it promptly.

I can't understand how this hotel got such a high rating.
They don't respond to emails.
They don't answer questions on the Trip.com chat.
Our booking was mixed up. We booked a 'Sweet' room, but they had us down for a 'DeLuxe' for some reason. The price was roughly the same when we booked. We asked to switch rooms (at check-in) and were moved from DeLuxe #3 to Sweet #2 for an additional 700 baht!
I then asked to change from room #2 to #1. They said it was already booked. I pointed out that when booking, you only select the room type, not a specific room number. They got flustered... but still insisted that room #2 was the only option.
For anyone booking: the best rooms with views from the window and the top deck are DeLuxe #1 and Sweet #1.
The room wasn't clean; there was trash lying around. An empty chip bag was in the bin. This isn't just dirtiness – it's an indicator of poor standards. There was a used towel on the hanger. No bathrobes were provided.
The top floor was sandy everywhere, including on the sun loungers. I guess they're trying to create a beach atmosphere :)
The windows were dirty. The bathtub was worn.
The air conditioning was noisy.
They only give you one key card. If you leave the card in the slot when you step out of the room (e.g., to your own top floor), the door locks behind you (and you can't open it from the outside). If you take the card out, when you close the door, the electricity cuts off, with all the consequences – AC turns off, phones stop charging, etc.
I asked for a second key card, but they refused. This is just ridiculous... they're cutting corners on AC... and on their reputation.
As an option, you could bring an extension cord and plug it into the 'refrigerator' outlet :)
Seriously... it's the 21st century.
Overall, it's a so-so hotel. For this price, I think there are much better options. Its location, yes, is good. I understand the laid-back nature of the Thais, but there's a limit. I don't want to stress out on vacation, and who does!
So, weighing all the pros and cons, the cons definitely outweigh the pros. I don't know about you, but we are definitely not coming back here. Especially for that money... there are genuinely decent options nearby. And my peace of mind is more important!
Breakfasts... were decent. There's a tasty build-your-own soup with a rice base and meat (meatballs), mushrooms, various toppings, etc. A small bowl of fruit and a tiny bowl of yogurt with 3-4 blueberries and 2-3 kiwi slices. They also bring a plated portion with an omelet or two fried eggs, two sausages, two pieces of bacon, two small triangular pieces of sausage, etc.
Overall, breakfast was more or less okay.
There were no issues with the transfer from the hotel to Na Ban Pier. We took the ferry departing at 9:30 AM. The trip to Bali Hai Pier took 30 minutes. After a couple of ferries sank, they now seem to be counting passengers and trying to avoid overloading.

Guest UserThe hotel is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, there are several issues with the management system that need improvement.
First, regarding room cleaning procedures: at most hotels and accommodations, the front desk keeps a spare key or key card so housekeeping can access rooms for cleaning when guests are out. At this property, guests are required to hang their room key outside the door until housekeeping finishes cleaning, sometimes as late as 2:00 PM. This is a serious security concern because anyone could potentially access the room while the key is left unattended outside.
Second, if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful stay with good soundproofing, this hotel may not be the best choice. Noise from outside the room is easily heard throughout the day and night.
Last night, shortly after midnight, I was awakened by a very loud group of people. When I went outside to investigate, I saw a group of guests drinking in the restaurant area located directly next to my room. The noise was so loud that I could not sleep. I politely asked why the restaurant was still open, as I had been informed during check-in that it closed at 10:00 PM. The guests told me that a staff member had opened the restaurant for them. I then politely asked them to lower their voices because my room was right next to the restaurant.
I do not blame the guests at all. The responsibility lies with the hotel staff, who allowed the restaurant to be used after midnight despite the clearly stated closing time of 10:00 PM.
Areas for improvement:
1. Guest safety and security — Guests should not be required to leave their room keys hanging outside their doors for housekeeping.
2. Enforcement of hotel policies — If the restaurant closes at 10:00 PM, that rule should be consistently followed. Future guests staying in rooms near the restaurant should not have to endure loud noise until 1:00 or 2:00 AM as I did.
Overall, the hotel has potential, but better management and stricter adherence to its own policies would greatly improve the guest experience.

The hotel is pretty small and simple. Clean enough to live comfortably. Free motorbike was a nice touch. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. My main disappointment though was with the location. Koh Larn (coral Island) was indeed quiet and comfy, but it barely had any corals, most of the reef was dead and in pieces. Probably too many tourists or has to do with too many boats and jetskis zooming around the island. There was also too much trash on the beaches (we've tried all of them and only a couple of them were clean). Parasailing was lame, heights nowhere near exciting and it finished within 5 minutes. All in all, best to get a snorkeling tour on other islands or try parasailing or jetskis elsewhere. It's cheaper and more fun

Guest UserThe location is excellent, very quiet, and perfect for a solo getaway. The sea right in front of the hotel is the bluest and cleanest on the entire island. The staff are attentive and provide complimentary motorbikes, which made my two days on the island feel very fulfilling. My only minor complaint is that the water in the room was a bit salty; it would be great if it were filtered more.

Guest UserThe room was good and clean, and the bathroom was also clean. The air conditioning worked well. Breakfast was good. The TV didn't have any free-to-air channels, and the water pressure was really low, even on the second floor. Everything else was great, but the water pressure was extremely weak.

DonCarloMila Kohlarn is definitely a “must-stay” hotel on Koh Larn Island. The bed was genuinely comfortable, the room was spotless, and the breakfast was excellent — easily one of the highlights of the stay.
The location is unbeatable: it’s literally right on Taewan Beach, so you can step out and you’re on the beachfront straight away. It’s also super convenient that you can rent a motorbike directly from the hotel to explore the other beaches around the island. You can order meals to your room.
A nice touch on arrival was the welcome drink — so refreshing, especially in the heat. The free pick-up and drop-off service between the pier and the hotel was also smooth and hassle-free, which made travelling with bags much easier.
Highly recommended if you want comfort, convenience, and a top location on Koh Larn.

We stayed at the hotel in March. It's a very good, simple hotel. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the shower and toilet were standard. It's perfect for a 1-4 day stay. The bed linen is good (cotton), and you get two pillows per person. Beach towels are provided. Their food is genuinely delicious! I'm not talking about breakfast here, but the à la carte menu (Tom Yum is top-notch). The beach is superb; since the hotel is almost at the very end of the beach, not many people venture that far. It's about a 10-minute walk to 7/11. Regarding sun loungers, they're 100 baht all along the beach. However, the hotel has its own comfortable, seated lounge chairs (the kind you'd pay for if you walked further down the beach). There are also foldable ones, but you have to pay for those even as a hotel guest. As for noise: our room was on the second floor at the very end, and we didn't hear a thing.
In the evenings, each hotel along the beach has daily parties with music, fire shows, etc. I really enjoyed it!
To get to the hotel, you need to go to Tawaen Pier. Ferries costing 30 baht per person run to it from 8 AM to 1 PM. Alternatively, you can take a speedboat for 150 baht per person.

The place was clean and the staff provided excellent service. They offer a shuttle service from the pier to the property. The room was spacious and comfortable with great air conditioning. The shower pressure in the bathroom was a bit weak, and turning on the water heater seemed to draw a lot of power from the room's electricity. However, overall it was fine. Breakfast included congee, bread, and various drinks. The property is conveniently located near a 7-Eleven, just a quick motorbike ride away. They also offer motorbike rentals for 300 baht per night, with fuel included. Aside from the minor bathroom issues, everything else was great. It's clean and peaceful.
