Hey, Expedia, I rated it a couple of days ago!
The sunset was amazing and watched it from my private, cliff side patio. The staff and food were excellent, especially the quiet/shy guy (Golf?) - he made the best coffee and mixed drinks.

Very nice place to chill out, wish we had more days here. The location is in my opinion the best on koh lanta.

We had the most wonderful time at the Houben.
Eric and his team are brilliant and made our stay very special. The team are very knowledgeable and View offered really great advice and recommendations of the Koh Lanta.
Breakfast is very good and the hotel offers a happy hour every day to watch the amazing sunsets from the sun terrace. (Thanks to Yok for the lovely service and drinks)
The location was perfect, the beach is a 10 minute walk and there are lots of lovely places to eat within walking distance.

Nice quiet place to relax. Comfortable rooms. Mattress topper available if you don’t like a firm bed. The staff was very kind and accommodating. Breakfast was great! Best hotel breakfast we had the entire time we traveled. The pool needed attention. It was cloudy.

We were very excited to stay at The Houben, especially given the star rating and the price we were paying compared with the rest of our 2 week trip in Thailand. The property was extremely disappointing that had the feeling of a rundown property.
There's a laundry list of problems which were immediately noticeable at checkin: walking into the room, you notice cabinet doors are crooked and everything feels broken. We decided to use the red pool until we noticed that it had dyed our bathing suits with red marks in several areas that required scrubbing to get out. I resigned to using the bathtub seen in the photos, but was disappointed when I quickly learnt that 45 minutes later, I was unable to still unable to fill the tub with a slow tap and definitely with lukewarm water.
Lots of other small things: hairdryer didn't work, safe didn't operate, internet didn't work.
All in all, would not recommend staying here if you're looking to relax.

Last week we were at The Houben we had one of the best experiences in a Hotel. Starting with the manager, Eric, who from the first minute was attentive to every need and plan we had. He was aware not only of the tours they book for you but also of the ones we did with other people. Each of their employees from the reception, waiters, cleaning crew, were very efficient, and above all friendly. Each one of them treats you with great respect and always with a smile. The fact that it is a hotel with few rooms surely helps them focus on giving you great service. Our room was always spotlessly clean. The food and cocktails are at the level of the best restaurants on the island. The sea view is one of the best one could hope for. Definitely a great experience that we recommend. We’ll come back!

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at the houben the setting is different from most hotels, it’s set on the side of a mountain overlooking the sea it’s very peaceful the breakfast is a la carte and very well presented. The staff are lovely and very helpful.

Highly recommend! My partner and I recently stayed there for 6 nights. We could have stayed much longer! The views from the rooms and deck area are amazing!
Most of all, the staff provide exceptional service. They really go out of their way to ensure you are having a great stay. All staff were great including the front desk staff, house keeping and restaurant staff.
Yok and Golf in the restaurant provided 5 star service! Food was delicious!
Can’t wait to return.

Absolutely loved this quiet spot with so much wildlife and beautiful views. The little village is so cute. Our favorite things about the Houben were how quiet it is and the amazing breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

From the first moment at the resort and throughout the stay we felt an absolute quietness and peace, extraordinary service and care for us, paying attention to detail in our requests and needs. Beautiful resort and surroundings. Super calm, polite and service-oriented staff and management. We will definitely come back! 6 stars (our of 5) from us!
10.0
Beautiful property with incredible views. It’s very definitely a boutique property and the owner is readily available to guests, which really makes it special. The pool is incredible and the daily visits from monkeys really add to the charm (although just make sure you don’t leave your clothes on the balcony to dry overnight :-) ).

A very nice boutique hotel. Nice room, pool and food.

Lovely views from the pool area, out to sea, great to watch the sun go down with a cocktail at happy hour. Pity we could not watch that from our room balcony on the second floor because of the tree in front blocking the view0, this needs, pruning back. The manager was around a lot so I made this suggestion to him. Noisy air conditioner in the room, staff looked at it but made no difference, I learned to live with it switching it off in the night. They are building next door, whilst the noise did not disturb us too much, what did annoy me is the building rubbish the workers were throwing down the cliff to the sea, we as tourists have to pay 10 baht each environmental tax to keep the island clean! Seems the islanders need to learn to do the same. Overall lovely hotel, needs a little tic in places. The staff although very professional, seem to lack a sense,of happiness in their work, not many genuine smiley faces that we had experienced in other Thai hotels. Breakfast was lovely, good food. Did not have dinner here as expensive, tables put out at night but no one ate there, lots of nice restaurants a lot cheaper nearby. Would definitely stay again, but ask for a room on third floor.

The owner, Eric, and staff at the Houben were very kind and helpful. I will stay here again just to chat with Eric and the staff. They were very accommodating. The view at the Houben is amazing. Situated in the top of a cliff there is no beachfront but this is easily compensated for by the sunsets. Cocktails are delicious and the pool is a perfect place for relaxing. It is an adults only resort so there is plenty of peace and quiet to be had.

We had an excellent time at the Houben. Our room was large and clean. The staff was great and would bring us cold bottles of water to our room every day. Food was really good as well.

The sunsets are beautiful from the poolside or balcony! Other reviews have mentioned the weak wifi, which was a bigger problem than we expected because there is no shade or A/C in any of the areas that have decent wifi (basically right beside the pool is the only place), so you get a bit sun-baked every time you go to check your phone. The service is friendly and the owner/manager is on-site every day to take care of everything!

Amazing view with beautiful rooms all facing the sea. Very nice pool and sunset views. Not a far (5min) walk from a great beach with some fun restaurants and bars.

Beautiful getaway tucked towards the south end of the island. I had a relaxing stay at The Houben. Beautiful view of the sea and great service.
5.0
Hotel absolutely perfect with the best sunsets i think we have ever seen. Bath tub on the patio was an added bonus! Room was perfect, so bright and airy and service was fab too. Food was delish and plenty other options close by if you fancy a change. Didnt have breakfast there as felt it was too expensive, 450thb seemed a lot when main evening meals were only around 300thb. Only other complaint would be the monkeys. They charged towards us a few times by the pool which wasnt pleasant but hotel staff were quick to help. Overall, amazing place and will definitely return if we go back to Koh Lanta.ps... the photo won me a bottle of wine from the hotel. Check out their Instagram competition!

Beautiful sunset with BOGOF cocktails each evening. Not enough sun loungers for all guests. Some refurbishment is needed in the rooms. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the breakfast.

Great experience after a terrible stay in Railay. We’d have come here directly and headed south had we known a bit more prior to travel.

The location was perfect. It’s in a quite area, close to the national park and overlooking the ocean.
The rooms were comfy and the property was beautiful. The food and drinks were more expensive than surrounding restaurants, but they were very good.

Wonderful stay at the houben. Stayed for five nights in a free upgraded room which was great. Turn down service great. Room immaculately cleaned every day. Restaurant on the expensive side but good. Breakfast not to our taste as was mainly Western and small choice of buffet but was of excellent quality. We ate the breakfast the first two days and then opted for some lovely Sea side cafes the rest of the stay.

We did a mistake that we ordered only 3 nights instead of 3 weeks at this hotel

Great stay. Amazing service. Rooms were spacious, modern, clean,and relaxing - had some hot water issues. The location was pretty quiet - but 5 min walk to great restaurants (Phad Thai rock n roll!!) and bars. The food at the hotel itself was also great (best spring rolls we had), cocktails were also great but a bit pricey. The breakfast was the best we’d had - with tons of choices. Can not beat the service at this place either - the staff is so attentive, and gets to know their guests (ie. cleaned our room when they knew we were at breakfast). We were there in the rainy season though and it was VERY stormy so we found the rooms to be quite loud at night - but this is because of the great location and view - so hard to complain.
