Nice room, great character, lots of nice pictures and artifacts on the walls. We had a nice 2 bedroom family room(s) with nice terrace/veranda area. It is a steep walk down/up some steps to the main street/beach but we managed it even with a pushchair(stroller) and the beach was very nice. The main street choice of bars/restaurants was not the...

The rooms were clean and reasonably priced. We expected eclectic but found the decor to be creepy; a table filled with ceramic dog heads, a cradle with a giant frog, an area filled with hanging baby clothes from the ceiling. The rooms smelled quite dank. The signs stating "beware of thieves" were disconcerting. This, in combination with the flimsy padlock... More

Let me start by saying that I am travelling with my 21 year old daughter so a place needs to attend to both our requirements. I am a writer so a place with views is a bonus. Varinda is located up a small hill off one of the main roads so perfect for a 5 min stroll whenever the need... More

I stayed here with my family (wife and two girls) and we had an amazing visit! Yindee and her staff were phenomenal. So much personal care is built into the resort unlike many of the other cookie-cutter resort options available in Koh Samui. Along with the great service and unique/stylish setting the Varinda has an outstanding restaurant and a beautiful... More

All the reviews are good and I expected a nice 3* hotel without too much sparkle in beautiful Koh Samui but on arrival we found out that the resort is not fenced, the rooms are nice but our Mac did not fit in the safe, the pool was small and even if the view was nice we were a bit... More

As part of a rather fast-paced island hopping tour, we stayed at Varinda Gardens for 3 nights, which was our longest stay over the week...and we really didn't want to leave! The infinity pool and views were spectacular, by day or night. The resort had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and we all loved the quirky ornaments and furniture dotted around... More

We loved Varinda garden. Varinda is very nice decorated with everywhere you look cute figurines, pots and other fun frills The only thing that we din't loved at this hotel was the hard beds. For the rest it is a lovely place to be. The food is great and the staf is very sweet. It is near to the beach.... More

Greeted by lovely friendly people and their lovely dogs (who you would hardly know were there unless you played with them). The garden resort is made up of chalets each with their own deck with table & chairs in a garden environment. Each chalet surrounded with shrubbery making it more private, didn't hear anything much from neighbours. Went to sleep... More

Just got back from a 4 nights and 5 fabulous days in Koh Samui. The Varinda Garden Resort was a large part of what made the trip so enjoyable. It had been 20 years since my wife and I had been to Thailand. This time we had kids in tow. The Varinda was perfect! It's on a hill, so you... More
