We had heard about Smile bungalows and thought it might nice to stay there while we were in Bottle Beach. We were taken to our Bungalow, it was absolutely filthy, there was a shattered vase in the bathroom that we cleaned up, mouse, rat and gecko poo all over everything, including the bed!! We live in the Australian bush and... More

We arrived at bottle beach and found smile bungalow! we had booked this before we left the uk. It was easy to get to having arrived at the main pier we got a taxi to another pier where we then got a taxi boat. It cost us £10 to get there, 400 baht. The rooms were very large having the... More

We had come for the full moon party and had not meant to book somewhere so far away- now so glad we did! We were offered transport into full moon by the manager so that solved that problem. Now this beach is a real gem- it's clean, quiet and the water is beautiful- you will not spend much time in... More

I was in charge of booking accommodation for my group, we came to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party and my only guideline given to my friends is that is must be cheap! So, I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked our stay at Smile Bungalows. When we arrived at the ferry, we were told the resort... More

Smile Bungalows are located on the stunning bottle beach on the far right hand side. The bungalows are built in gardens with a restaurant at the front. We had room S12 which was at the back of the resort but high enough to have a sea view off the balcony. The rooms have solid wood floors with woven bamboo walls... More

We stayed in one of the two-storey bungalows for 5 nights in mind-February. This was my first trip to Thailand and I had a vision of the perfect beach and Bottle Beach certainly lived up to it. Beautiful soft sand, warm ocean to swim in and not too many people. The bungalows at Smile lived up to out expectations. Comfortable... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night, but had originally planned for 3. It wasn't that it was terrible, but I think we've just got a little older and want a little more comfort - it was pretty surprising to us! A year or two ago it would have been perfect for us, but I admit that we... More

For those wanting a quiet, secluded spot and a wonderful beach, this is it. Cons: - hard to get to, you may pay more to get there than a night at the bungalow! I spent 200 baht on a taxi from the pier and another 150 for the boat. - main reception guy greeted me with blatant mocking, rude tone,... More

This was my second trip to Bottle Beach but my first staying at Smile (stayed last time at Bottle Beach 2, which has more budget bungalows). The 2-story bungalow set up the hill was perfectly fine - quiet, nice view, nice bathroom, wood floors. The beach itself is so lovely and perfect for swimming with soft sand and clear blue... More
