“Perfect journey”

Everything, very clean, and the owner is very kind. Everything was great

“A truly magical island retreat”

I absolutely loved everything about Baan Chan Lay. The location overlooking the mangroves is breathtaking, with the beautiful views across the water. The rooms are spacious, spotless and thoughtfully designed, with so many lovely touches that made it feel both luxurious and relaxed. I loved being able to go for a bike ride and having direct access to the kayaks next to the house felt incredibly special. The lovely ladies were as always also so warm and attentive, making my stay effortless and memorable and looking after my every need. It really is a piece of paradise.

“Disappointing, unpleasant and could have been handled better by the owner if being honest with what”

The room is clean. There is a nice public porch to the mangroves

“A happy, joyful stay surrounded by beauty and open skies”

This place is truly something special. From the moment I arrived I felt completely at peace. The setting is breathtaking, with beautiful scenery in every direction, and the rooms are gorgeous spotless, thoughtfully designed, and a joy to come back to after a day outside. Kayaking here was a highlight: quiet water, open skies, and that rare feeling of having the world slow down around you. Mornings were calm and restorative, evenings peaceful and golden. Everything about this stay felt gentle, unhurried, and deeply nourishing. I left feeling rested, happy, and already dreaming of returning. A genuinely beautiful place that stays with you long after you’ve gone. Thank you so much. 🙏

Our stay could not have been better. It felt like a home away from home. The nature is breath-taking, the place is beautiful, tasteful, comfortable, clean, warm and welcoming, unique and very very special. If you want to get away from noise and party tourism come here and enjoy watching the kingfisher catching fish while listening to the mangrove birds and having a fantastic breakfast. Take the kajak and be lucky like us and meet some dolphins. Explore the little fisher village and be kind to all the kind people that welcome you with real warmth :)

“As your home”

Host like a family, recommend about the interesting things. We have also buy a 1day @3 islands trip. A lot enjog diving & swiming. Good recommend for dinner& nice coffee shop around that area.

Location of the property is just amazing! In the middle of nature, the views are just amazing. I could really relax in there. And the hosts are so lovely, very helpful and kind :) I loved the fact that there were free bikes for rent, so I could explore the area. Rice porridge very tasty!

“What a stay, what a place, and some amazing hosts! We were feeling at home, and we will most definitely be back!!”

“Excellent authentic place to stay!”

I loved my nice cozy clean bedroom with a big bed and a fridge and A/C and a spectacular view to the Mangrove. The bathroom is very clean and nice but outside the bedroom you have to go down the stairs. The bedroom made me feel like in a boat. I loved it. You leave your luggage outside the doors as it is very small. The sisters in charge of the hotel are so nice and helpful. They made my stay so easygoing. She picked me up for only 700bhat at the ferry. I also used the bikes and kayak for free. It is a lovely place.

“A hidden gem with unmatched hospitality”

it’s been three weeks since we left Baan Chan Lay, but as one of our most memorable stays in Thailand, I feel I have to leave a review. Baan Chan Lay is truly a unique experience—not just because of its location and cozy vibe, but because of the way the two owners go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Their hospitality is heartfelt, effortless, and genuinely welcoming. When we weren’t reading a book while overlooking the bay or enjoying a peaceful, complimentary canoe ride, the warm and inviting living room atmosphere encouraged interaction with other guests, creating a sense of community. We had the smallest room, barely big enough for a bed, but with a TV (including Netflix) and a stunning view, it turned out to be one of the coziest and most charming stays we’ve ever had.

Really well maintained and spotlessly clean guesthouse with lovely owners. Kayaks and bicycles to use for free. Scooters available to rent. Fridge and kettle in room with water in refillable glass bottles and free coffee, tea etc. Beds were really large and comfortable. Lovely terrace overlooking the sea and mangroves with an assortment of seating. Great place to relax and chill. A taxi service from the ferry pier to guesthouse can be organised through them for 700 baht as opposed to 1000 through the taxis that wait at the pier.

“Superb”

This place is a true gem! Really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel feels like a cosy homestay where you get the chance to meet and talk to other people in the common area. The people running the place were extremely nice and helpful. Food was great. The area is a cosy little fishing village, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Will be coming back here next time i'm in Koh Chang. Note: The place is located on the southeast side of the island. To get to the west side of the island you need to drive up north, there is no road connecting the west and east coast in the south. The east side of Koh Chang is very quite and not as developed as the west side. We had no problem driving to the west side when we wanted some more life.

Best staff and accommodation I’ve had in all my travels. Everything was perfect and will remember forever

The kindness and service from the two ladies at the resort was absolutely unique👍👍👍 greetings from the little Wayu 🙏

“Comfortable. Maybe suite younger generation.”

Idyllic location. Owners were very friendly made you very welcome.

“Perfect in every way!”

Here you will find a piece of paradise. The owners are wonderful people and will go above and beyond to help you. The house is beautiful and very well kept. The food and coffee is also exceptional! I hope to return one day :)

“Relaxing secluded waterfeont home stay with great food”

The ladies who ran this small home stay were charming and spoke good English. We stayed 4 days and ate there about half the time, and every meal was really good - without exception. We enjoyed swimming off the deck in the mangrove at high tide, and made good use of the kayaks to explore the coastal area and into the mangrove. Great bird life. Very peaceful. This is the last house at the end of a lane so totally private location

Staff were really nice and all the atmosphere of the place. Good location were you can relax and enjoy nature, river and sea. We could take bicycles and canoes that was really nice.

Love the vibe n hospitality of the owner

“Great place if you are looking for silence and peace of mind!”

Great hospitality and uniqe chance to stay in tradionall Thai looking house at the edge of mangrove forest! Very nice meals and special care you feel from the owners!
