The Hideout - Koh YAO Noi

Really lovely place! Do not believe the reviews that say it was run down all very well kept and maintained - the pool and the rooms were amazing as were the views. Road is barely a road to get there so very bumpy - but also fine on a moped! Overall is a fantastic place - I cannot fault the rooms or the site in general! However for the price they do feel a little money grabbing - you are paying luxury prices, and obviously this is an eco place so no electricity which is expected. But you do expect some things to be done with your extra thought / consideration. One of the ladies was so lovely and happy to see us each time and that made such a difference. However they do charge 600tbh for one meal eg pad Thai, which is driven in - and same there are no beers on site. Same for the breakfast, which was a lovely surprise free - however they offer homemade bread which is clearly sliced bread from a bag. Very minor things which add up. In addition, they have an old moped (the seat doesn’t lock ect) which they lent us to drive around the island - then at check out, we were charged 300tbh per day (very expensive for a regular moped, let alone a run down moped). Overall was a lovely stay - but a few additions would make it feel more worth the money, such a not charging for the moped or at least charging a reasonable rate / adding some solar powered lights or fairy lights around the place so you can actually find your way home to the villa, or having some takeout options which don’t cost 600tbh. If you do stay, I recommend having a late lunch around 5pm before it is too dark to drive back rather than getting the dinner there.

L'hôtel est totalement en ruine, sans personne depuis plusieurs mois, voir années. Il reste disponible sur airbnb, laissez tomber, vous n'y trouverez rien d'autre qu'un espace dangereux et isolé dans la jungle.

Das Hideout ist definitiv einen Besuch / eine Erfahrung wert!! Trotz des vielleicht bissl höheren Preises nimmt ganz besondere Eindrücke und auch eine ganz besondere Ruhe mit, da “mitten im Dschungel” und am Ende einer eher ausgewaschenen Straße gelegen. Das Essen (Frühstück und Abendessen auf Bestellung) war super und nicht überteuert! - und war garniert mit Herzlichkeit und einer guten Aussicht natürlich. Wir waren während der Corona-Sandbox-Period im Dez21 dort, weswegen einige Aktivitäten & Besonderheiten (Yoga, gute Thailändische Spätzle) leider nicht angeboten werden konnten. Außerdem war die Kommunikation manchmal schwierig aufgrund eines doch eher rudimentären Englisch - aber definitiv immer herzlich. Und wenn die Kommunikation dann mal geklappt hat, waren die Tipps, Hilfestellungen und weitervermitteln Kontakte 1A! Sehr zu empfehlen!
