AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Arrived to find a deserted hotel. Initially thought great but then was told no restaurant in low season even though we paid for breakfast. Steep road to cabins which taxi drivers wont drive down and need transport to get everywhere from it, even to a 7/11 which was supposed to be 400m away. Ninas coffee shop was around the corner and lovely. Nina helped us get taxis and said that the hotel has always had problems, no one stays. Aircon was not working in room even though owner said it was. The sea was out quite far to go for a dip and no pool, very picturesque to look out but bitten to shreds, accomodation was poor and not as described. Holes in sheets on bed. Fridge was unplugged so no cold water. When plugged in it sparked very big. Very dangerous.
We like staying in cabins on the beach but this was poor. We found luxury accomodation further around the corner for the same price. Dont risk this place.
The restaurant was the owners family home with tables on the extended veranda. Was dirty and outdated with her kids sitting on tables.
Asked to leave straight away and explained to expedia the situation. The owner became very aggressive telling us she was poor and would not refund. She lied to expedia and refused the refund. Told expedia there was a restaurant and it was open. Appalling service. Expedia honour the hotels over the customers
Dont fall into the trap we did with this one. It was clear the owner did not want to open facilities to 2 people.

Great place. Right on the beach. Beautiful. Kind owners. Good breakfast with American style bacon. Good burgers for lunch. All and all a really good experience. Much better than spending a similar amount to be in a shared room at some hostel. Easy motorbike rental bery close by. I will stay here again if I visit this island again.

We really enjoyed our stay at phangang rainbow bungalows. Martin and Noi were lovely hosts and made us feel really welcome. They gave us helpful advise during our stay and easily let us book an extra night. Their beautiful dog Millie gave us endless joy. It is family run and a nice place to be. The bungalows are in a great location, the beach is stunning and your in-between the two main areas. You do need a scooter to get around but you can hire one next door for 200 baht a day. We would definetly stay again. Thank you!

Peaceful and Serene. Amazing Price.
The view and the beach was so amazing. The sea is very shallow but lovely to sit in to cool down. My boyfriend and I went canoeing and it was honestly pure paradise.
The room was perfect for the price we paid. We were really worried about having no aircon but the fan was fine.
The food was amazing and affordable. The staff even cut down a coconut for me.
We chose this location for the full moon party since it was quite close and we thought taxis would be cheaper. We paid 150TBH per person for a taxi ride to the party and to the pier. If you stay closer to the pier you’ll also pay 150TBH. So we didn’t get a discounted price even though we stayed much closer. There are no taxis at the resort itself but if you stand on the road you’ll get one very quickly.
The wifi in our rooms wasn’t great at all unfortunately. Our only problem. Oh also we were first dropped off at Rainbow Bungalows not Phangan Rainbow Bungalows which are 2 separate resorts. Make sure to specify.
So so loved this place. Would definitely recommend. Cheapest place we stayed at during our trip and we had the best time .

Spend 3 nights here, it is around 5-10 minute ride to town, not many restaurants close by. If you rent a bike it is perfect you can head around the island, it is also very quiet away from all the parties.
The owner is great she will gladly help you with anything you need and she speaks perfect English.

I will never stay there! The room wasn’t clean, we found some huge spiders, it had a bad smell, they never cleaned them even though we stayed there a lot of days, the towels were really old with some stains on it... the only good thing would be that it was kind of near of Haad rin.

Amazing beach stay
Bungalows were amazing if you want a nice private beach. Handy taxi service available- cheap too! Rooms were very basic with cold showers and not many plug sockets, however great location and quality for price. Amazing for full moon party.

Perfect place to stay in Ko Phangan
We were staying at Ko Phangan for 5 days and Rainbow Bungalow was a perfect place for accommodation. Quiet and peaceful place with a friendly and helpful service. Great food if you want to try a local cuisine plus they providing a lot of extra service like a taxi or tours around the island.
