A Old resort...
Resort is good But bit Old.
.
So all the amenities are somewhat Okay...
.
It's at a 3 km distance from Walking Street and this area will let you feel like a village.
.
Not so lively...
.
If you want a calm and quiet place... it's good.
.
Starting from Bed to swimming pool... everything is Old...

Far from everything, plus rooms are very old with old furniture, I found ant like insects in bed and in bathroom. You have to pay 500baht for key deposit. They do rent a motorbike 200 baht per day. No room cleaning at all. Swimming pool is there but was afraid to use after reading in review that they charge for it.weird pump sound starts in noon and keep till in morning so sleep became little difficult.aircon in room was good but room size is big so takes time to cool. Thanks

If there was an option to give it no star I would as this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The Swedish owner is super arrogant as after we complained to him about air conditioning not working, floor in the room broken, broken bathroom door his response was people from ur country always come and complain so they can get free stay or free food and discounts... filthy rooms we had to vacate the place without taking a refund within few hours even tho we payed for two nights and we had booked 3 rooms ... the owner v conveniently just said u can go to hell as I am not spouting my day because of u guys

The stay was good and we enjoyed it. The rooms are clean and I mus say, the budget is best for this stay. Location is beautiful and quite. So if you love loud music and crowds, you may not like it.

Worst Hotel. There are no lifts. No one is there to carry your luggage by stairs to the 1st or 2nd floor.

I booked hotel with breakfast included. Breakfast is very limited and for 2 more slices of the bread the girl charged me extra 30 bht.

I don't know why owners of the Hotel don't feel tissue paper an important item in the room.

The girl in the restaurant with name "Eye" was very rude. She doesn't know manners how to speak with customers.

Breakfast timing was told as 9.00am though the chef arrives at 9.00am too. If you have tour then forget breakfast.

We had a incredible stay at the resort. Though after the first day of our stay we realised that the AC doesn't work in most of the rooms (we had 14 rooms). Sammy is a good host, even though he did not allow us to get in the pool due to some water issues in south Pattaya. So if you can keep quiet, slow and dumb as a sloth, you will enjoy this resort.

I recently book 2 rooms at Bonkai Resort in Pattaya which were heavily promoted with good discount. Once I checked in, the staff very quickly came up with a list of new room conditions. As she considered the room was booked too cheaply (!!!), she said we had to sign a special statement where we had to renounce on the following:

- no cleaning of the room during the entire stay
- no customary free water (daily saving of under 0.10 Euro!!!)
- pay extra charge for the use of the swimming pool

I insisted that I precisely chose this hotel for the swimming pool. And as the online booking service did not indicate any restriction of that sort, I pointed out that this amounted to cheating marketing. Finally, she very reluctantly agreed not to charge extra for the swimming pool but yet we had to accept the other restrictions. When I asked whether this applied to my friend as well (remember I booked 2 rooms) she added insults to injury by replying: "maybe only for you"!!!!

As a result, my friend did not dare to swim at all, fearing to trigger a new fight with that person.

Being nonsmoker, I booked 2 nonsmoker rooms. When I entered my friend's room, I wondered aloud and asked: do you smoke now??? Of course not, but his room was filled with heavy cold smoking smell. Obviously from the previous occupant.

In my room, the AC was barely working and on top of that, the window could not properly close.

The hotel rule is against the use of under ware in the swimming pool. Fair enough. However, how embarrassing when the self-declared English-speaking hotel owner started shouting in front of all the guests at a kid who did not notice and understand that rule indeed, shaming him as he didn’t understand English, and threatening him with a fine.

Changing the booking conditions is obviously wrong and shaming people like this is just disgraceful.
