Beautiful landscape and rooms

In short, AMAZING RESORT AND STAFF !!! In details: This Resort is truly a Gem. We had 7 nights in total and we reserved the family suite since we are a family of 4 ( 2 sons ages 9 and 14 ). The resort itself is just beautiful, clean quiet and have everything you might want or need in a dreamy vacation. The pool, the restaurant/dinning area, gym, private beach and the staff ( which will get a section of its own in this review ) everything is top tier. The room was absolutely huge and luxurious, seriously, ive been around the world and this is one of the best, clean and comfortable room I've had the chance to stay at. Now the staff : okay this is what makes this resort stand out the most for me and my family. Hands down, THE BEST STAFF AND MANAGEMENT I've ever had the pleasure to interact with. So kind and attentive we were truly amazed. C2, SIMA, Yoshi, Jane, Joe,Zaw Arm and seriously all the rest were just amazing ! I really don't want to make this review very long so others will skip it. Both massage therapists Nuch and bpuo are hands down the best I've had and we did a full body massage every day, they are both amazing. My younger boy still Miss C2 and remind him and Sima every day. We actually all miss them and can't wait to come back as soon as we can. Also the Manager of the resort ( forgive me but i can remember his name ) is a very very professional, kind and pleasant person that was constantly interacting with us making sure we are enjoying our stay. THANK YOU

Relaxing stay

Great resort, great beach, great staff, good breakfast, shuttle to airport, close to shops and mall.

Great place to stay on the beach, very friendly and attentive staff, would definitely stay on our next visit

Unbeatable Beach Destination

Beautiful and comfortable rooms, some of which have private pools. A goegous beach. Attentive staff. And great food. Buri Rasa has everything you need to make your vacation a wonderful and truly memorable one!

We have a short trip of 2 nights there. The room was clean and decorating is amazed us. Overall our experience was excellent. Only one thing we need you to pay attention was sense of emergency and offering assistance to guests from reception staff. We have called to the hotel after checked out and ask if they can check with lost & found for mobile phone left in the room. Front desk staff took my call at 12.06 PM and asked me to calling back due to she was engaged with other guests, so instead of calling back I have asked her if she can call back when she can, then she said she will call in 20 mins and I gave her my contact number. 2 hours later no call from the hotel then I’ve called again. Khun Oranuch (if i can recall correctly) took my call then I have shared about lost & found, I was informed that staff has already checked and nothing found, then I asked her why no one inform us, I was very disappointed from what she said…the reason why she didn’t call back due to she was busy. She should handing better for this emergency thing as well as working in hospitality industry.

True affordable luxury!

I stay at Buri Rasa in Samui and Phangan. Amazing staff, perfect beaches and wonderful food. Paradise!

One word. Fantastic!

Was a great holiday. Service was beyond amazing. The pool and beach beautiful and relaxing. I totally recommend this hotel!

Fantastic property and staff. Highly recommended. On the beach. You feel one with nature. The rooms are spacious. The amenities are more than adequate. Smart TVs included just in case you want to catch up on your favourite show.

just amazing

Everything about this stay was great. Nothing negative to say, lovely staff and hotel manager. Magical atmosphere

Staff was very friendly it was an excellent place And good location

Fabulous service

Had a wonderful stay at Buri Rasa Village. The rooms, arranged like little villas, are well appointed and spacious. The whole property is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. The staff are all incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome - nothing was too much trouble and service was discreet and efficient. The breakfast is amazing - the best we have had in Thailand, with a great selection of Asian and Western dishes. I loved the freshly baked breads and interesting spreads which changed every day. They also make very good coffee! The only downside, if I had to give one, would be the noise from the neighbouring Muay Thai boxing stadium - though this is true for the whole of Chewang Beach and to be expected. Bring earplugs if you're especially sensitive to noise, and perhaps request a room closer to the beach. Other than this, it's absolutely perfect!

Great service

Loved the hotel. Great attention to detail and food. The breakfast which is complementary was amazing. Staff was always helpful

Good village style stay.

Very nice hotel, set out like a village. Almost everything was wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good location. Nice breakfast. The beach is nice and pool area relaxing. Only down was the plunge pool was very dirty, asked for it to be cleaned but only cleaned the leaves from the surface.

We loved how it was all in a Thai style theme. Very clean and staff are excellent. Is positioned on a great part of Chaweng beach. Would definitely stay their again.

Great beach & Location

Nice beach, average room, good location except for the noisy construction on the street.

The staff were friendly and very cooperative. The location was excellent. The room was very nice but could have been better - the aircon was a bit loud?

Customised customer service!!!

Excellent experience. Enjoyed our stay a lot. Staff is wonderful and so caring and friendly. Truly amazing. My only comment would be to change the bedding. It was a little bit on the hard side and had slight mildew smell from excess humidity.

Samui Hidden Gem!

I travel a lot and Buri Rasi is one of the best resorts I have ever been in. A true gem. As you step off the busy main street, you enter a luxurious, magical retreat. The beautiful, grounds, rooms, herbal spa, and overall facility have many beautiful touches. Your room is designed to pamper and please. We entered with a personal welcome of our names spelled out on the bed with little sticks, relaxation music playing, essential oils burning, a fruit basket, bug sprays, relaxation spray for the pillows and much more. In the area of service, Buri Rasi is par excellence. The wonderful, warm staff went out of their way to help with things that we didn't even know we needed. It was very hard to leave! I don't have enough words to describe its level of excellence!

Everything about Buri Rasa Koh Samui was excellent! From the airport pick up with cold towels, to the daily breakfast, gorgeous and clean beach area, and comfortable rooms, our stay was marvelous and I would definitely recommend this resort to my friends and family. In particular, the employees were so accommodating and kind and genuinely made us feel welcome. The staff are what make this place truly special

Lovely stay

All staff were lovely and they catered for gluten free well for me (Coeliac). Only battle was to get a sun bed sometimes.

Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Fresh omelettes, pancakes, bacon, sausage, asian foods etc. fresh juices and even grey goose vodka if that tickles your fancy. Lots of breads, yogurts, cheese and even a noodle bar. There are stairs but the staff help you bring up luggage. WiFi is fast but not secured (no password). Room isn’t cooled when you’re not there (key must be inserted and they only provide one key). Overall is great and will come back

The hotel itself is great, but the staff is what really bless us away. We stayed for 3 nights. We got there way before checkin time (around 8am), but the receptionists were very helpful, friendly, and resourceful. They helped us proactively book a taxi back to the airport for the end of our stay (free of charge), and also had all our suitcases ready in our room by the time we checked in. Once we were in the room, they wrote out a very nice personalized message using sticks on the bed (it's a lot cuter than it sounds), and also wrote personalized cards for us every day. My partner and I wore shirts with each other's faces on them (we thought it'd be funny...), and they wrote in the card that they loved our shirts! Every day, I assume somewhere between 3-7pm, room service came in to light a mosquito-repelling candle (scentless). They also gave us house-made desserts every night, as well as as a complimentary bottle of champagne one of the nights! We also did a seafood beach side buffet + fire show that the hotel hosted (950 baht/person), and while the food selection was ok (ran out of clams in the first round), the dining staff was, once again, top notch. Very attentive, quick to help swap out plates that are too full of shells, and quick to replace drinks. The fire show was also impressive and interactive. Walkable to restaurants and nightlife. They also personally drove us back to the airport at the end of our stay - the drive was only about 10 minutes at 6:45am.

Lovely staff, good location, superb hotel. It was a wonderfull experience.

We I’ll see you again

Amazing location on Chaweng st’ Great beach and amazing stuff. Clean rooms, good atmosphere

It takes a village

The Buri Rasa Village really is a village, a cozy, narrow strip of spacious pads nestled in a verdant compound that hangs off the white sands of Chaweng beach. But much better than its beach or its blessedly air-conditioned room, its restaurant and spa is its extremely lovely, cheerful staff, who really set the Buri Rasa apart and make it feel just like the village it claims to be.

Good Location right on Chaweng Beach

We stayed for one night in room 14. The location on the beach and the beach-side facilities were excellent. The room was not too large, but fine for just sleeping. The food was good without being outstanding in any way

If we needed anything the staff were very helpful. Will stay again.

Comforts

Buri rasa was amazing! We wanted somewhere fancy for a few fays after bangkok to relax, the hotel sent a car to pick us up at the airport which we so appreciated after our early flight we were so tired! They were very welcoming at check in, sao and martin in particular were so helpful to us before and during our stay! The room (no.7) was gorgeous thai style and so clean, the bed so comfy and the turn down service a lovely touch. The pool was lovely its clean and had jacuzzi jets it which was a real treat! The breakfast was 5 stars we loved it and the pool staff were very helpful,you are right on the beach too. The location is perfect, 2 minute walk to.the busy main street but not right in the middle where ota too noisy. Loves it here would definately go back.

Relaxing Villa on the beach

Staff was friendly and gave solid recommendations from food, to sightseeing, and general navigation of the area. Mild was a great hostess and one should always follow her advice. Solid recommendations for couples and very close friends.

Awesome hotel

Very nice place. Awesome beach. Friendly and helpful staffs. Overall it was better than we expected. We definitely will stay at this hotel again. We already recommended our friends to stay at this hotel when they are in Samui next month. Thanks for everything.

Buri Rasa - 6 Stars

It was amazing. Staff are so freindly and pay attention to detail. The hotel itself is perfectly located - great beach and also not to close to the really hectic part of chaweng. Food was top notch. I would defnitely stay here again.

Great overall, but overpriced when considering other options nearby. Beach very rough compared to other parts of Chaweng.

It's a great location, quieter than central Chaweng but busy enough. Easy to walk to the sites of attraction. Staff were generally friendly and helpful. The buildings are a little old. Overall, still pretty awesome for the price.

Relaxing island getaway.

I felt like I was staying at a spa! The little details and staff made our stay even better. The beach access doesn't hurt either...

You'll struggle to find better

Amazing hotel and great staff, we stayed as part of our honeymoon, it could easily trump a 5 star resort for service. We're in another 4 star resort now on a different island and it feels like a 2 star after BuriRasa.

Authentic Thai-style Experience

An oasis amongst the Chawang beach bustle. Nicely appointed rooms presented in Thai Style. We stayed 7 nights in a deluxe room with private pool and it was lovely. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom, and most of all, extremely attentive staff - the best customer experience I have ever witnessed for a hotel and always with a smile.

Paradise

Great hotel, the staff and service are good. They are helpful and cheerful. Definitely will book again with BuriRasa Village when we come back to KohSamui.

Great 3 Day Stay

Enjoyed the Buri Rasa. Had very late check in and staff was polite and kind in accommodating me. I Enjoyed the traditional feel and the good service. Everything is easy to access yet it's in a relatively quiet location in the beach. Definitely recommend.

Perfect beach location

The location of this hotel is key. They have their own perfect beachfront which makes relaxing ideal. The rooms were nice but the staff was not very knowledgeable on activities around the island which made booking a little difficult. Otherwise it was a wonderful place for a beach getaway.

Great location, great service

We were met on arrival with a cool drink and an ice-cold towel. The front desk staff were efficient and friendly. The restaurant staff served us with a smile, enthusiasm and great care. A special thanks to Aliza who went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable and enjoying our vacation. The room was well furnished and clean. The AC was wonderful and welcome. Wifi worked well in our room. We were only steps from the beach. Restaurants, shops, and a pharmacy were just down the street. A very good hotel for a reasonable price with outstanding service.

Great small n very friendly hotel

We had No. 33 which is closest to the pool/restaurant/beach. Private garden with dip pool. Very comfortable bed with lovely pillows. Good shower which stayed at temperature set to your liking.

Good location very good beach

This hotel is a perfect! i think is almost a 5 star hotel... the main reason that it's not 5 star hotel it's because it's a small hotel very boutique.. The room is great the pool is very nice and the beach is lovely it's not on the center of Chaweng but not too far. We sure will come back in the future

Friendly, traditional Thai Hotel on the beach

Lovely staff, very helpful and efficient. Cute Thai style accommodation. Hotel too big and so not impersonal. Close to the heart of Cheweng but on the best part of this beach i.e. clean sand, wider beach and sea deep enough to swim.

Highly recommended Hotel & So lovely

Highly recommend to stay at this hotel as the staff is really nice, friendly and helpful.

Right on the beach. Staff was amazing.

Great location and spacious room/bathroom with an outdoor patio. The staff of this hotel really make this place special. They are very nice and because it's a smaller hotel, they get the chance to know their guests. The breakfast buffet is great and they have a free build-your-own Bloody Mary as part of breakfast. That alone was amazing!

Perfect beachfront getaway

Hotel is in a village style set up and is is so quiet yet so close to everything. Absolute beachfront and fantastic staff all round.

Wonderful Hotel, Great location!

It was very difficult picking a Hotel in Koh Samui and I am glad I picked Buri Rasa. It's a charming little hotel right on the beach. The staff is wonderful, the little notes and treats we got every night were so amazing! The breakfast buffet is decent, not the greatest but it does the job.The mimosa bar is a nice treat. The rooms are spacious however they are a little older and could use some updating in my opinion. Yes there are mosquitos but the staff does everything they can to help combat the problem which you will run into at probably every hotel in Koh Samui.

Nice relaxing stay. Excellent service. Beware of some mosquito in spite of the spray. Right on the nice sandy beach.

Perfect place to stay in Chaweng

Sits back off the quieter end of the busy main street. Despite this it was very quiet and once within the grounds I became oblivious to anything other than the hotel itself. We were greeted like friends upon arrival from Ao Nang for our three night stay. It is a complex that actually does have a village feel and we stayed in a ground floor room with our own entrance/small courtyard. The beautiful beach sits at the rear of the hotel next to the restaurant and pool. We'd had a really busy couple of weeks prior to staying here so it was perfect for relaxing. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. I also had a couple of Thai Massages at the spa which I would recommend. Only issue we had was the air conditioning developed a noisy fault on our last night but we called reception and were quickly moved to another room so we could sleep. Breakfast was included and was first class. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel

Awesome charming place to stay, but loud neighbor

Our cottage number 33 was the closest to the beach and we loved it. Buri Rasa Village has a very natural tropical design to it where they built around old trees combined with native landscaping. Overall we really like this place, BUT the one thing that bugged the heck out of us was the constant throbbing bass of monotonous house music pumping out from the resort just next door. However, they do turn off the music at a decent time like 9pm so it's not too bad.

Best Hotel Experience

The best hotel experience that I have every experienced. The staff are very caring, knowledgeable and customer focused. Food was excellent and location good. Will definitely return soon.

Excellent hotel

Overall an excellent stay and would like to revisit soon

Nice hotel, don't pay full price

Stayed 4 nights at 59% deal and it was only just worth it then. Would have been extremely disappointed if I had paid the full amount.

Buri Rasa - Lovely Experience

Lovely staff, beautiful sandy beach and quiet pool area. Highly recommend this hotel. Rooms looked little bit old... but the services you're getting will overcome any of those cosmetic gaps you find.

Beach front hotel

Charming traditional Thai style hotel in the town area. The beach is direct access from the back of the hotel. Very nice and relaxing despite the heat. Enjoyed my stay very much.

Bang on the beach

Excellent stay. Hotel staff were extremely friendly and their attention to detail was fabulous. Loved the decor of the property. It was traditional, with the bamboo and wood decor, gives the place a zen like feeling. Best part was the location of the hotel and the way it is designed. Even though we were in the busy part of chaweng we never felt like it. It was very calm and peaceful. The beach was excellent, only issue was that there was some patches of dirt. Breakfast was above average and food was good. I would definitely come back to this place in the future

Monse

Excellent breakfast and restaurant

Beautiful hotel with a great location

Beautiful courtyard setting hotel with great pool overlooking the beach. Wonderful buffet breakfast.

Not just a hotel but an experience...

Being my fathers first ever trip o/seas I searched many hotels but seemed to keep looking at the burirasa village for our stay , now I know it was the right choice for him as upon arrival the staff could not have been more helpful towards my father and nothing was any trouble for them through out our stay , the staff fussed over him and always asked what else they can do for him , my father was awed at the village atmosphere and how pleasant it was to walk through to the pool , beach and meals area , as well as all the other attractions around that I showed him , we spent many a day traveling Koh Samui just leisurely riding around and sampling the local foods site-seeing and talking to many locals that I know so well , and even a few days just relaxing by the beach seemed like a great idea, overall an enjoyable stay was had by us both .....

perfect!!

great staff, great breakfast, very clean, beautifull , and friendly. 15 minute walking to the center. very good beach.

Asian ambient and outstandingly friendly staff

The Buri Rasa is a paradise set up with a great tropical garden atmosphere. The view through the plams and over the infinite pool while walking to beach of restaurant is very pleasant. Breakfast is delicious with a great selection of items and staff is just so nice and freindly to make the stay a pleasant experience from beginning on. The Queen sized beds could be a little wider for big non-Asians and yes, the area attracts some moskitos but that's nature. I would love to return any time!

Nice Hotel, good facilities, great location

Great Location, beach at the rear of the hotel and only a short walk from shopping areas, Good value for money Breakfast was good, but not outstanding. Friendly Staff Clean and Tidy housekeeping Clean and Well manicured grounds Room was well decorated and appealing Not 5 star quality but not too far off it

was perfect

wowww nice place traditional, can enjoy the city by walk, nice beach just far enough from the club so you ear nothing and can came back drunk with out been lost. Service awesome their funny and they help you with everything.

Exceptional customer service

Food divine, staff our unbelievably courtious, beach is just right, value for money, surprised it wasn't a 5 star.

One of the best hotel ever...

We stayed there for 5 nights on our honeymoon. It was so good!!! Hope to come back ASAP!!!! The best service.

Good experience with excellent service

good locatian in Chaweng beach, not in the busiest point but just good for keeping quiet.the service is excellent, best beach,beautiful room, good food and smiling employees.It's a real best choice in Samui.

Fantastic food ,service

Had a great time, friendly very helpfully staff,great position to shopping & beach,very clean and tidy well run resort

Nice relaxing stay

We chose the Buri Rasa based on previous reviews and were not disappointed. Nice rooms, friendly staff and so nice to be able to have dinner right on the beach. The dinner menu is a bit limited though. The only negative is that the swimming pool is not very inviting. It looks more like a water feature than a pool to swim in. I only saw it being used once, by a group of young children.

Fantastic service and location

The best hotel we stayed at during our honeymoon in Feb 2014. We had a simple room, which was more than enough, it was quite big, romantic and clean, with great shower, very comfy bed, a couch to watch TV on (32" Samsung) and a very private balcony with another small couch and a coffee table. We received a honeymoon welcome on the bed and a cake that says "Happy Honeymoon" on the first day. Each day we received another sweet present from the service, which was waiting for us every evening with a note, it was a very nice touch. Staying for overall 7 nights, we found the location to be just perfect. You can exit the hotel either from the main entrance or the beach and there will be something to do everywhere you go, both left and right. The service is extraordinary, compared to the rest of Thailand, and you can feel it everywhere. A couple of points to improve on: 1. Restaurant menu variety 2. Beach beds being a bit uncomfy (but at least there are always enough and you don't have to fight for them like in other hotels) 3. The noise from another hotel, playing house music 20 hours a day and a building site just right near our room, that woke my wife up at 8 am twice during our stay. Overall, very much recommended for both couples and family.

Simply amazing

My wife and I went to Buri Rasa for our honeymoon. I have stayed in 5 star hotels around the world, and the hotel service at Buri Rasa has been the best. Period. Amazing staff, great ambiance, clean rooms, right on the beach, great breakfast, and great restaurant by the ocean. We would recommend this place to everyone. It is true that the surrounding hotels play music which creates some noise during the day, but the music ends at 6pm. After staying at Buri Rasa, you will see that any complaints people have are outside the control of Buri Rasa. They do everything to make sure the stay is fantastic....and it was.

Very nice oriental hotel with perfect staff

Perfect staff, good location, perfect landscape and design, clean private beach, good internet, perfect breakfast. One of the best hotels in Thailand where i stayed (I stayed before in Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Krabi, Phuket in many hotels). New Year Eve was very nice, but we want little bit more activities.

Fantastic Hotel, will come back!!

The Buri Rasa Hotel was an incredible stay. Right from the very minute we were picked up from the airport we were greeted with a lovely staff member who made us feel immediately welcomed. It had a lovely traditional Thai Feel which was fantastic over just your everyday western hotel. The rooms, pool and grounds were extremely clean & modern, the location could not have been better to shops and restaurants, close to everything yet once you entered the Hotel you felt like you were a million miles away with how quiet and tranquil it was. The Spa was brilliant and great value for money. The staff were such a delight and so very genuine and kind. We had a brilliant time at the Buri Rasa and continued talking about it even after we left, we will be back!!

Pretty and amazing hotel

Great location, very clean, staff very nice kind, great breakfast, nice room, nice hotel..everthing perfect

Lovely staff, atmosphere and centrally located.

Centrally located, close to the beach. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere.

Buri Rasa is a great hotel to stay at. It's rustic charm and extremely friendly and helpful staff make it one of the nicest smaller hotels I have stayed in.

Excellent Hotel

Buri Rasa was excellent, this was our 2nd time we stayed at this hotel as we loved it so much the last time too. Room was very clean, serviced 2 times a day, bathroom was very clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable, very welcoming and pleasant. Excellent central spot too, villas are right on the Chewang Beach with private beach chairs for Buri Rasa guests only. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Only downside this time was the new hotel next door played repetitive loud music from 1pm - 5pm every day. Very annoying when trying to relax on beach. Music was really only heard outside on the beach, our room was right next to the new hotel and we couldn't hear it inside so didn't disrupt sleeping. The Buffet breakfast is outdoors undercover, I found it too hot sometimes to eat there, even first thing in the morning, would prefer eating in a cooler room. Directly across the road is a great place to eat, very cheap 'Ninja Crepes' always busy. Delicious thai food.

Excellent hotel in every way!

This property is beautiful! The staff is friendly and professional, and they really do a great job keeping the grounds clean and well manicured. The beach is beautiful and relaxing but still close enough to some of the livelier hotels that its location seems perfect. After a week here I have not a single complaint!!

The one

Perfect spot, great staff and fantastic rooms. Stayed at quite a few hotels on Asia trip and this was the highlight. Already recommending to friends who are travelling to the area.

Superb!!

Wonderful holiday!! Could not find fault. Staff, from gardeners to front desk trained to perfection making us feel very special. Room very comfortable, serviced twice a day plus bed turned down every night with a treat left for us!! Best shower we have found in any hotel. Location great, beach very clean. Will certainly return to this hotel next year. Mel & Rob from Australia

Located on the best part of the beach.

The Buri Rasa staff exceeded our expectations. They were always helpful, cheerful, and spoke english well. They upgraded us to a family suite. The hotel was modern and very clean. Best location on the beach and easy walking distance to the major points of the city. We had breakfast in our package and the food was above average and with a good variety. They gave us a complimentary late check out until 4pm. We will return to this hotel!

great hospitlity

enjoyed the hotel hospitlity but the food was nothing to shout about

Pearl

Pearl in Samui . Good clean big rooms friendly staff

Very nice and cosy

À very nice and cosy hotel just by the beach! Me and some friends were there for just two days but we wanted to Stay longer! The thaidinner we had was just amazing!

Over-priced and over-rated

When we booked the hotel, which was very expensive, we thought we were going to be directly on the beach as per the photos Shown On their website. However, when we arrived at the hotel. We found that it was totally different. The rooms were dark, the space of the resort was narrow and rather unpleasant, and the beach was also narrow. When we asked about this we were told that the photos were no doubt from their newest establishment on another island. When we complained, they offered us rooms in another resort up the road. We took the other resort, which we are sure, because someone who works there told us, was much cheaper than what we had originally paid for in advance. However we still preferred it because the beach was wider and the resort itself was larger. The island of Ko Samui is noisy, full of young people drinking and shopping, and not the quiet paradise we had been advised it would be.

A lovely hotel in Koh Samui

Buri Rasa was probably our favorite hotel in our time in Thailand. It wasn't the fanciest, or the most modern (of the hotels we stayed in), but it was most comfortable and friendly. The breakfast was fantastic with an enormous buffet and made to order items. The staff was extremely friendly. Our rooms were well appointed with everything, including umbrellas and mosquito repellent (a necessity in Thailand). We were welcomed with a lovely fruit basket, and every evening, a little sweet was delivered with our turn down service. The whole resort is lovely though small but in a good way. We would definitely go back there. There is construction next door that might bother some, but we were so jet lagged, we hardly noticed.

This is a great hotel for relaxing by the beach

Service was outstanding with excellent rooms and environs. It really is set up like a small village.

Perfect for honeymoon

Boutique hotel ,amazing staff,we stayed for 3 night and enjoyed every moment,beautiful beach

The BEST

We stayed in 3 other "5 star" resorts in the surrounding area and found Buri Rasa to be far better in every aspect. They have a lovely private beach and, with only 32 guest rooms, you're never more than a minute walk from the beach. In addition, they have the most amazing breakfast -- every food you could possibly want (even fresh honey dripping from a honey comb). The quality of the service is outstanding: we received complimentary champagne and a hand-written thank you note from the staff. The Buri Rasa Village is a complete resort/spa/restaurant with everything you would ever need, but just across the street are shops and restaurants (Ninja Crepes is the best restaurant on the island) if you want to venture out on foot. If I'm ever in Koh Samui again, I won't stay any where else.

Excellent

Very nice and modern, great staff, close to everything, 5 minutes to SUBWAY, BURGER KING, macdonald and Starbucks.

The noise is unbearable

Due to the extraordinarily loud building work taking place on both sides of this narrow hotel, the beauty of the rooms and the beach only reduces the unpleasantness of staying at this hotel. I can see how it has previously earned its very high ratings, but we had to move to another hotel on the third day of what was meant to be a 14 day stay. The building work will go on for another year.

Great hotel for couples & families!

Buri rasa is located on the main chewang beach road so ideal for bars & restaurants! All the staff are helpful and friendly and always smiling :) the hotel is on the best part of chewang beach, beautiful soft sand and clear water. The room had all the amenities needed- tv, air con, kettle, hair dryer, safe, robes, slippers, shampoo, shower gel etc! It only has around 30 toons so it never seems busy, which makes the stay more relaxing.

Exceeded expectations

Convenient location to shops, on a nice part of the beach. After staying at another hotel on the island, the staff at the Buri Rasa certainly outshone the staff at the other establishment. While in the past l have not put a lot of emphasis on the staff performance given that l dont expect to be waited on hand and foot, l have to say that it was the staff at this place that made all the difference. There are newer and more expensive places to stay in Samui (which we did) but l would not hesitate in coming back to the Buri Rasa. It was clean, welcoming and personal.

Excellent! Awesome! Amazing! The Best!!!

My husband and I wanted a nice quiet getaway so we could relax and soak up the beach & sun. After reading the awesome reviews, we thought we'd try Buri Rasa & see for ourselves. This gorgeous small & very friendly boutique hotel and their fantastic staff, Chart, Tick, Arm, Ice, Porn & Ping just to name a few surpassed all of our expectations!! The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable, the restaurant is first class, kudos to Chef Chai and the countless little extras they provide went over & beyond other hotels. From our welcome refreshing coconut drink on arrival to things such as fresh fruit daily in our room, provision of beach towels and umbrellas ready & waiting in our regular spot on the beach daily, the ringing of the bell to notify free little treats served on the beach to guests such as homemade fruit popsicles, spring rolls etc.to the turning down of beds each night with more handmade little treats left on the bed and a note wishing you a good night, we could not have asked for more! There is some construction going on either side but this did not bother or affect our stay at all as it was minimal. We will definitely return & hope to stay longer than the 2 weeks we stayed on this occasion. Thank you Buri Rasa for making us feel like so welcome and making our holiday so comfortable!

Great Place with great stafff

We stayed at the Buri Rasa for 2 weeks and it was amazing. We had the best holiday experience we have ever had. The rooms were beautiful and well kept and of a great size for our trip. We had a private courtyard as do all the downstairs rooms and the upstairs ones have balcony's. Once in our own space you do not hear anyone else, it is so quiet. The staff here were the best I have ever come across. We got to know them by name and were always greeted by name. They went over and above to ensure our holiday was memorable. Happy hour was always fun with a lot of guests meeting for pre dinner drinks and a laugh with the bar staff who were very amusing and could create any drink you wanted. The breakfast was freshly cooked to our liking every morning with the maitre de' Chart and chef Chai always on hand to ensure you enjoyed it and had everything you wanted. It was always exceptional. We had lunch by the pool often and I found it of very good quality and price. We had the dinner there on a few occasions and it was of a very high standard and very reasonably price. Don't miss the buffet night with a band. It was magnificent food and entertainment. Try the wines as well, a great selection at reasonable prices. My husband and I are refining there next year as we lived it so much.....thank you so much to the staff....you are terrific. Terry and Steve

Fantastic Getaway

My son and I stayed here after a sailing trip through the eastern Thai islands. It was a fantastic place to stay and relax. Our room was beautiful and incredibly comfortable. We particularly enjoyed having dinner at the hotel's restaurant on the beach. We had the Thai fish barbeque, which was done to perfection (my son is a chef, so he should know).

Fantastic!!

Buri Rasa Village is a lovely boutique hotel where we got much more than we bargained (paid) for. We booked ourselves for a Deluxe room but were upgraded to the Deluxe Dip Pool villa on arrival. The rooms were small but very comfortable. The staff were extremely well trained & polite. The Location is great. Its close to most spots in Chaweng but still secluded enough to give you the privacy you need. All-in-all a fantastic holiday!
