We were met by Martin at our check in and he made our stay very comfortable and joyfull. Our room as the rest of the guesthouse was very clean and funny decorated and the towels were replaced every day. There was a television and a small fridge in the room, which was great for storing our fruits and drinks. Location... More

I stayed here for only 3 days, but wish I booked longer. Great place, nice clean rooms, wonderfull staff and just less than a minute to the beach. For this value of money, absolutely the bestplace I stayed in Koh samui. Homely feel all around. Will absolutely come back here.

We booked a standard room for two nights. A medium sized room with all amenities you would need. The rooms are cheap and has a real backpacker feel to it. The room had an interesting design with many decorations / paintings / cushions which made for a pleasant environment. However I don't think any seasoned traveler would feel this was... More

Arrived at Akwa following a Lonely Planet recommendation. The manager told us that the cheaper rooms are not available (not for us, as other travellers did get them after our arrival, and no booking was made). As we were tired from a long journey, we gave in and took the "Penthouse" room for 2 nights. The room is big, huge... More

The rooms are large and are decorated in an Art Deco theme. It brings a lot of character to the place. The a/c works well and the bed is super comfortable. The owner, Martin, is incredible. He goes above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable and have everything you need. He rents out motorbikes for a good... More

We arrived in Koh Samui after a long morning of travel, and eager to arrive at our hotel and relax. When we arrived to check in, a girl lead us off without explanation to a completely separate building about 100m down from the main building. She took us down a side street, which I was a little uncomfortable with, and... More

I am travelling Thailand with a friend and we stayed at Akwa Guesthouse for 4 nights. When we arrived (after a pretty long car journey from the pier) we were pretty gutted. The outside is odd. You wouldnt think it was a hotel at all and its on a main street so you could easily miss it. We had to... More

Me and a friend stayed here for a few days while travelling around. We had stayed in some more expensive hotels on our trip but wanted to stay somewhere cheaper for a few days. We paid 700 baht a night as we just walked in and asked how much it would be. The barmaid took us to the room, so... More

Positives.. Quiet location & room but 30 minute walk from the main part - ok for me or a short cheap ride. Decent size room & good size Balcony. Good access to beach although not necesary really as there are lots of places to access the beach. Negatives.. Wood on balcony needs replacing & do not lean on the bacony... More
