HCPR... This is a place for the traveler, the backpacker, and the adventurous. To some this will not be comfortable, but everything you need is provided and it readily can become "home" when you given it a chance. My bungalow had a mosquito net, fan, hot water, and towels. There is good wifi in the reception area, and the chef for the Indian restaurant is incredible. The reception area is right on the water's edge, and there is a friendly mix of people that keep the place running. Most of the staff are volunteers, traveling for months on end and earning their stay by working. They have incredible stories and a wealth of insight! Haad Chao Phao is located just a little south of Samma Karuna's, a known yoga venue. It is an easy walk to many cafes, beaches, shops, and bars. There are scooters and laundry services immediately near the entrance. Taxis are also readily available, and reception can call one for you if you'd like. If you are looking for a nice resort with air conditioning and room service, this is not the place. If you're looking to meet people and have a place to safely store your things between exploration and sleeping, then you'll be happy here!

We booked the Basic Room, 1 King Bed - according to the photo a BAMBOO BUNGALOW (we were especially looking for that type !) but the bamboo type bungalows are all a thing of the past at Hadd Chao Phao. Heavy construction work on so called "modern bungalows" is on now.

Really beautiful Bungalows with a terrace and perfekt view! Located directly at the sea, clean and really friendly staff. We had nothing to complain about. The straff was really helpful with every question we had. Our favorite one was Jonny, the dog of the owners. He is really calm and beautiful. The Porridge with milk and fresh fruit at the restaurant with sea view Was really great! We would come back every time :)

It was a fun experience. I would get a unit with air conditioning if I did it again.

I've got a very simple bamboo bungalow ; it was quite clean , but with minimal facilities . They were reconstructing the whole place and the area around my bungalow looked like a construction place: woods and tools everywhere and a huge old fridge in front of my door. They told me twice they would remove it, but they didn't in the three days I spent there . I had to wake up at 8.30 am due to all the noise from that work . The other bungalows on the same beach are more value-for-money

stay was reasonable fine,can't complain when you get what you pay for,it's no high end accommodation so don't expect royalty treatment cause you'll be very disappointed not to say the staffs were rude or unhelpful,they were great,it's all about respect if you know what i mean, i will come back again if budget was my issue.

Very low standard bamboo houses, mattress lays directly on the floor. Not very comfortable or good looking. But the hotel is located in a nice location on Koh phangan. Very quiet, most of the other guests were yoga- students. Food is very expensive for Thailand.

wont stay again as the bathroom was way too basic and filled with mozzies. super annoying.and generally a bit run-down looking.

Great location, great staff. Bamboo bungalow i stayed in was very basic but comfortable, decent sized bed, decent bathroom but no hot water .. it was perfect for sleeping, freshening up and getting changed - what more do you need. Dorm beds are a little harder and have no Mozzie nets so I got eaten alive the 1 night I stayed in there. That's the only reason I didn't give a perfect score. Food served on site was delicious. I would return again and again.
