this was our 4th stay here - love the hotel and views. the head chef, Jonathan, was outstanding, went out of his way to accommadate us with some requests, loved his food. Ended up eating most nights at the restuarant.

I have to to comment on our stay at The Boathouse hotel. Not only were the accommodations beautiful, clean, and exactly as described. But, the staff was unbelievably kind and helpful to us. I got sick on my second day in Phuket (not from the hotel, but from a fruit smoothie in the local market). They not only asked about me every day, but they sent boiled rice and toast whenever we asked. Housekeeping was so accommodating with our schedule considering I was in the room sick the whole time. And, lastly, they let us stay extra hours on the day of our departure because I still wasn’t 100%. I cannot say enough, good things about our experience here, do not hesitate to book at the Boathouse hotel. You will not be disappointed!

Dear The Boathouse Management,
I would like to express my great experience during our stay in your hotel.
From the moment we arrived we were extremely welcomed by the reception and this warmth kept all the way to our departure.
Every single staff member was very kind, friendly, helpful, attentive and supportive all the time.
I also would like to manifest a special thanks to 3 staff members: Daniele, Bee and Pepe. They were over and above our expectations, making us feel very special guests every day.
To the Chef working on the night shift of 09/09/24: I was in bed sick, feeling extremely ill. Your promptness offer for a Chicken porrige soup (it is not on the menu), brought me "back to life"! I will never forget your kindness even not knowing you name... Thank you very much!
We really had an absolutely great time with all of you, and we are looking forward to be back soon...
Best regards,
Bianca and Marco

Very friendly staff and the room was clean and quiet. The breakfasts were good as well. The location is really nice especially if you want to surf. Its right next to a surf school on the beach.

Not what I expected. I came to the Boathouse Phuket by a recommendation of a friend but it didn’t leave to my expectations. Yes must admit location on the beach is great, pool is nice and front desk service was outstanding. But the restaurant service is Terrible, the bed is hard as wood, the rooms need renovation and there is simply no lobby and the restaurant inside seating is stuffy. So NO I would not recommend it for the price it is. You will get much better value in other beach hotels in Phuket.

This was our first time back in Thailand since Covid and our first stay at The Boathouse in Kata beach. It did not disappoint! We had seen the hotel before having walked past it on previous trips to Phuket and had always thought it looks it really nice. It is a fantastic hotel. I would highly recommend it. The staff are amazing, they are extremely helpful and friendly. They will go out of their way to make sure that you have a great time at the hotel. I was a little apprehensive about the breakfast being a la carte rather than a buffet, but the food they have on offer is amazing and is cooked very quickly and you can order as much or as little as you want with no qualms from the staff. We stayed in a Seaview Terrace room, we had a terrace outside with a couple of sunbeds and a private outside with some chairs to sit out on. The room was very comfortable with a great private bathroom. We had dinner once at the hotel and while it is a bit expensive in comparison to outside local restaurants, the food is amazing and service fantastic. I would recommend booking in advance if you want to eat there. The pool is a little small but big enough to have a dip when you get hot and also the sea is right outside the hotel. We went the week before Christmas last year and it wasn't too busy at the hotel and there were adequate sun beds. It is easy walking distance to shops and restaurants, but is like an oasis in a busy town. We liked it so much we have booked to go again this year!

This hotel is amazing. It is a beach front property so it has beautiful views and easy access to the beach, a great infinity pool, and is conveniently located near lots of shops and restaurants. The place is very clean and the staff is very helpful and very kind.

We had a fabulous holiday in phuket at the boathouse, staffs were friendly and helpful, knowing that we had to leave earlier to catch the flight, they had arranged for early breakfast for us and the airport car was already there waiting for us. Thank you boathouse staffs and the room was cleaned, everything was perfect, no complaints, we will be back again definitely 😀

Beautiful ocean views and we really enjoyed the private beach. Facility is very cleaned, super nice and helpful staff. The room is good size but very clean and towels are changed every day.
Breakfast food is not buffet and just standard.
We had dinner the last night and the Thai dishes were disappointing. Pad Thai was mushy, no flavors, the grilled chicken was bland, cream puff & chocolate ice cream were bad, too.

The perfect hotel and right on the beach.
4.0 / 5.0
The Boathouse Hotel on Kata Beach, is a wonderful place to unwind. The location is ideal, with the beach just a stone’s throw away. The bedroom was not only spacious but also impeccably clean and remarkably quiet, ensuring a peaceful night’s rest. The daily room cleaning service was a welcome touch, ensuring our comfort was a top priority.
However, while the physical aspects of the hotel were impressive, it did feel like it lacked a certain charm or “soul.” The management could elevate the guest experience by paying attention to the finer details that can truly make a difference in a hotel stay. It’s often the small touches that set exceptional hotels apart from the rest. These nuances are vital for creating a memorable experience for guests.
What truly stood out during my stay was the incredible staff. They were not only friendly but genuinely caring and devoted to ensuring my stay was nothing short of perfect. Their attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile were remarkable and left a lasting impression.

I was discriminated just because I wasn’t wearing shirt in the restaurant. They said they couldn’t serve me or I couldn’t order anything because I didn’t have a shirt on me. This is terrible is. Beach hotel and they said that.

All the staff at The Boathouse were so helpful and polite. The hotel was just what we wanted. Somewhere to relax, right on the beach but also convenient to shops, bars and plenty of restaurants. Our 2 weeks went so quickly which to me a sign of a great holiday.
2.5 / 5.0
Fantastic boutique hotel - right on the beach. Staff exceptional particularly the manager & reception team in our case could not have been more helpful and attentive. Loved our 4 nights here 9and we moved from another hotel). Kata was a lot busier than I expected but the hotel is a lovely little sanctuary. Breakfast overlooking the bay was amazing. We had dinner one evening which was nice but quite pricey. If we go back to Phuket we will stay at this hotel.

The Boathouse is located at the end of Kata Beach, and is one of the few hotels with private beachfront in Kata, with both restaurant and pool areas immediately on the beach. Kata Beach is beautiful, and less busy than Patong and Karon, highly recommended for families and for a bit less buster than some other locations, while maintaining a great selection of restaurants and other activities. There are some seafood restaurants 50 metres of walking on the beach that offer excellent dining options, as well as a Ska bar for some relaxed drinks or more.
The property is excellently maintained, with rooms and facilities in great condition. The design is beautiful, and it is a proper smallish to medium boutique hotel. The pool areas are very nice with ample sunbeds and great service from the pool staff. The rooms are nice, spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and pillows, clever storage solutions and quiet air condition.
The breakfast is a la carte with broad selection of western and thai options, and the food is high quality. The restaurant is also great for both lunch and dinner, with a nice sea breeze and view of the beach, and excellent food.
The staff is friendly, helpful and service minded, and we felt well taken care of at all times. They really walk the extra mile.
We have stayed in many hotels around the world, and several different locations in Thailand, and The Boathouse is a gem, highly recommended and great value. We will be back! (We stayed 12 nights)

Best spot in Kata and the best hotel. Loved our stay from our room (Beachfront Suite) to the staff and service. Outstanding in every regard. Thank you Boathouse.

This boutique hotel was absolutely amazing! The breakfast was 10/10, the staff were all so attentive and helpful, the beds were extremely comfortable and the views of the beach from everywhere just topped off a perfect holiday. We loved have a few restaurants on the beach next door to the property and we enjoyed having the shops and restaurants along the main road at the hotel entrance. We will be back!

The hotel located on the best part of Kata beach, it was clean, well maintained, friendly staff.
The bed are comfortable however the pillows were stiff.
The breakfast was a la carte menu. the food choices were limited and we couldn’t get a proper cappuccino as much as we tried.
We loved the fact that there was no smoking in the pool or dining area.
The area outside the hotel was rundown and not much to do.
However the beach was great and we could not fault the hotel.
Would recommend staying here.

2.5 / 5.0
I had an awesome stay. Things may not have been perfect (when are they ever?) but the overall time was perfect for me.
My hotel room looked straight out to sea and the island. It completed fantasy in my mind of what my Thailand vacation should look like. The room was beautiful and the air conditioner was magic after being out in the warm humid air.
The food was delicious and creative, offering a spice palate that was just right for me.
The happy hour cocktail pricing allowed me to try their selections and I could have stayed there all day with their creativity.
The Staff were warm, welcoming and always smiling. Felt right at home.
But the thing I just all hotels by is the bed. :) And I loved the bed, having such good night sleeps. I really wish I could have stayed longer.
Thanks to everyone there, I'd go back in a heartbeat.
