Bill Resort Reviews

A decent hotel. limited facilities, but close to some decent hotel. The rooms are okay and quiet. I would stay there again.

Beautiful location

The location is great! Be prepared for the fact that the photos are not entirely accurate; they may have been taken when the hotel was new. 1 minute to the shore. The sandy beach is excellent, the shore is clean! Restaurants on the shore. The rooms are very modest, in the old Thai style. The beds are clean. Some of the rooms have been slightly updated, but we got the old room. You can rent a motorbike directly at the hotel. The staff is quite friendly. The hotel is very modest, I would like it to be better, but I would stay again just because of the clean sandy beach, where there are not many people. When it was stormy, we swam in the pool, located right on the shore.

The hotel is quite old, has not been updated for more than 10 years. However, it has a traditional Thai flavor (wooden rooms, log floors with holes). The service is good, the staff tries to help. Those who are used to more luxurious accommodation will not be comfortable (noisy air conditioners, old furniture, etc.). But overall the hotel is not bad, very nice area with a swimming pool. Silence.

I like it. Good service, friendly, close to the sea, clean swimming pool.

Peak location, very good weather, next to the sea But the bed is a bit noisy, very clean. All in all, it's good.

Friendship that is more than words of gratitude

I consider this older resort hotel to be a 'hidden gem' at Lamai Beach. I was skeptical about it at first because I had seen it from the beach during the pandemic and it seemed to be falling apart. But on this trip I had to book on short notice and my options were limited, so I decided to try it. I was pleasantly surprised! Although you can't tell from the beach, it's a large resort that extends up to a number of bungalows up on the hill. Yes, it's old and in need of maintenance, but it's directly on the beach in a good location. Your satisfaction with your Bill Resort experience may depend on the type of room that you book. The beachside bungalows were nice, but beyond my budget. (And you need to book them far in advance.) I chose NOT to book in the cheapest group of rooms in a common building. Instead I booked the 'villa', which was large and had a nice patio. If you're not sure which room to choose, ask the lady at the front desk, who is very helpful. Motorcycles can be rented from the front office as well. The resort is still a bit rough around the edges but it seems like they've made incremental improvements. Their restaurant is open (although I didn't eat there), the pool water looks clean, and the beachside massage ladies are available almost every day. One night per week they have a 'reggae night' at the bar. It was a bit noisy and it's not my thing, but I was glad to see that they have a popular activity. Downhill from the resort on the other side is the main road, Lamai Post Office, and a Macro. Overall, Bill Resort is in an excellent location right on Lamai Beach at an affordable price for the area. I would stay there again on future trips to the Lamai area.

Absolutely outraged, we had booked a week stay here after reading good things. Aircon broken for days, was put in another room that was less than what we payed for and was dirty. Finally got back to our originally room and told the lady at the desk we wanted to stay longer as we couldn’t find anywhere else, she wrote it down on our file and then we went to pay and she said we couldn’t stay. No other hotels available in the area for the next few nights and as a pregnant woman this is not only scary but unacceptable

Stayed at the Bill Resort 20 years ago and loved it so much that I decided to revisit them when in Koh Samui again. Check in was quick and easy. I was shown to my room, which was large and although dated, was very nice. Bed was comfortable. Based on the room alone, I would give 5*. However, the public areas were overgrown and in serious need of maintenance. The path to my room was damaged and it would have been easy to trip over the different levels in the damaged path. Gardens were overgrown and the room where I stayed on my previous stay looked like it was run down and no longer in use. The pool area looked nice but the bar area needed weeding and the bar looked like it hadn't been opened in a long time. However, heading into the beach there were a lot of places to eat and drink locally. There was also a supermarket at the top of the entrance road. Bill Resort is a 15 min walk from the centre of town and is quiet. In the end, I just got food and drink from the supermarket and chilled out in the room at night. There was noone about when I checked out so I just left the key. The whole place felt a little deserted. I would probably stay here again if I wanted somewhere quiet, but would look at all the competition in Lamai first.

Quiet room, by the sea, nice pool. Good places to chill eat on the beach nearby. Room was clean, aircondition worked. The property has seen better days but the people are kind, helpful. You can rent a motorbike on site. I was very happy with the price/quality.

Very nice hotel, nice food, nice animation staff and program, nice reef and beach, clean rooms. We had a bathtub and a nice balcony with an amazing view. Really enjoyed the yoga session with crush!

The lady was rude on the phone, they said on website they had a shuttle service and didn’t. We tried to cancel because it was a dirty rat hole. But we still got charged and didn’t stay. Do not stay here horrible place.

The rooms were filthy, used tampon left in the bathroom bin which left a terrible smell, bed sheets were stained, mouldy and smelt. The entire resort felt like it had been abandoned 20 years ago, no time or care is going into the upkeep. Swimming pool area was dirty, the bar area by the pool was also just a disgrace.
