Location is not great but a good hotel overall

I booked this hotel for four nights but only stayed two until I could get a booking somewhere else. On top of an ant infestation in my room the front desk staff were incredibly rude and purposely unhelpful. The chlorine in the pool (or whatever chemicals they are using) have me a horrible rash all over. I went to order dinner and the front desk women wouldn’t allow me to sit down and order my food. They barked at me to order and pay at the front desk and I have no idea where they were going to serve the food but it didn’t sound like it was going to be at a table and chairs with some dignity. I finally did walk upstairs the second morning to look at the “restaurant” for breakfast. It’s just a lady cooking out in the open and a bunch of haphazard tables and chairs strewn about. Flies all over the lukewarm food. I turned around and fled. And then I rented a motorbike from them and was presented with a motorbike that was falling apart, cracks and scratches everywhere. I took pictures and videos because just as I suspected when I returned it to them they tried to say that I made all the scratches and cracks. Finally got my passport back only to discover my room had an ant infestation. The ants were crawling out of the wooden bed stand. I sprayed them with bug spray and booked the next hotel I could find.

The property itself was lovely, the pool was ideal for a dip after a hot day and it was only a 10 minute walk to the beach. The owner was very friendly as well as helpful if you required help booking an excursion - the lodgings were clean, spacious and excellent views.

The staff are extremely helpful and nice. The room was big and comfortable... However in the strong winds the balcony doors let in a loud humming noise through a gap - I am sure this could be fixed / would not be a problem in other rooms

Great hotel with friendly staff. Nothing to complain about

I would recommend this hotel to anyone in the koh lanta area. The room was cheap and spacious and met all of my boyfriend and I’s needs. The staff were very very nice especially the owner. There was good food and a nice pool, the room was very clean and there were motorbikes for rent very cheap. 10$ Canadian a day. If you are going to koh lanta I would 100% recommend staying here.

We had an excellent stay at the Chom View hotel. The staff were superb and the facilities were brilliant. The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from the beach and a wid range of bars and restaurants. I would definitely book again.
