We had just spent 3 months in Europe and took a stopover at Baan Krating. We found a clean simple timber bungalow with balcony overlooking the sea. The service was all you could wish for; pleasant, helpful and smiling staff at an amazingly cheap price. Admittedly Baan Krating is not 5 star but we were not looking for that. Breakfast... more

The Baan Krating is located on a hill at the south edge of the beach. You have a porch with two chairs and a table giving a view of the sea. My room had solid wood floors with first rate furniture, effective air conditioning and no bugs. The 2000 Baht rate (USD$ 60) includes a full buffet breakfast with eggs... more

We booked the cheapest (standard) room and it wasn' t too big, but it was in a shack all on its own, with a balcony, overlooking the cliffs, pool and sea which was a lovely touch. Didn't try the restaurant hotel but it didn't look too good, quiet and few patrons. However, the hotel itself is connected to another restaurant... more

All of the other reviews we've read on this hotel are accurate, save the Lonely Planet who grossly overrate this one.

It was high season in Thailand but at $90 Canadian this is still expensive for the Khao Lak area. The bungalows are perched on a steep hill amongst a jungle basically. There's a small restaurant which had... more

This place has a lot of potential, but was a great disappointment. At the top of the hill is the office, which is fine, clean modern, nice first impression. Once checked in you are taken downstairs to the library/restaurant.. smelled like old books. On your way to the room you notice how much the wooden steps are in need of... more
