    Great place to feel a jungle spirit

    Because I checked before booking that resort a little far from main road I wasn't surprised.

    The first thing - the owner and staff very polite. They will do everything that you can feel like at home. They provide taxi service, can make for you breakfast, can rent a scooter. The pool good, but I mostly liked the bath on the house top. The dogs was lovely. "Grab" will deliver food to you.

    You need a scooter to get to any place, but where wouldn’t you need it?

    We liked the view, the pool and our rooftop. We’ve enjoyed our short stay here and would always come back.

    The property is amazing! Clean, peaceful, stunning, amazing for the environment and also at the same time it’s clean and you have aircon and your own bath on a balcony. The staff understand English very well. Rent a scooter from the reception if you want to get to main towns. Great location not too far and not too close to everything. Highly recommend staying here

    Only thing is the location, which is not too close to the main street (20-25 min walk and further to the city-city). I would probably recommend renting a scooter if you stay here - worked perfect for me during the entire stay. (The good thing was the peace that came with the isolation)

    I looooved my stay here. Spent 5 nights, and I was super pleased with everything. It's peaceful and quiet. Calm and not too big (i.e. not a lot of people). Staff/owners were super nice and welcoming, very service-minded (helped me with laundry, made extra eggs for my breakfast, dropped me off at the airport for 400 baht). My room was nice and I loved looking out at the green bushes and palmtrees in the morning or at sunset. It's an eco/sustainable stay, so no aircondition on the bathroom which would get quite hot/humid but it was still so nice. Good value for money.

    The location isn’t super centered, although it’s beautiful. But there are local places for lunch.

    Super clean, comfortable and convenient. The sweet lady owning the place is super caring and took care of us two confused girls. They helped us with cheap transfer to the night market and the pier. The breakfast for only 100 baht was amazing. The residence felt very safe. The staff/family owning the place was the sweetest and friendliest making our stay perfect!

    that we didn't stay longer (but we definitely will come back)!

    this is a family run place, lynn is the manager and her husband the architect of this beautiful resort. this place is beyond beautiful and unique. it is not only a "common" resort, it is more likely a place where you feel at peace. every little detail is perfectly put together and beautifully arranged by this family. the rooms are very clean and have enough space. the view and garden arrangement makes you feel like you're in the middle of the jungle. lynn also helped us with motorbikes and transfers (you definitely need a motorbike or a car since it's a little off). the whole resort is solely running on solar energy which makes it eco friendly. we highly recommend!

    Where do I begin? great place, very calm, very relaxing, clean air, nice garden, beautiful and clean pool .. but what makes this place really exceptional is its host; the family that owns it and runs it. They are exceptionally kind and caring people. Would definitely come back .. in fact we met people who stay there for months!

    We loved it but for some it may be little too far out. We hired a car through the hotel so we could get about. A scooter would be fine too.

    This is very unique and beautiful place. In amongst nature and away from the razzmatazz of the resort experience. The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast served at table was more than adequate with fresh fried eggs, happy toasts, home made jams and fresh fruit and juice. Coffee and tea is available on a help yourself basis 24/7. We stayed in room 4 which we loved. The view across the field on one side and the garden on the other was delightful and a joy to try and identify the many birds and butterflies. We had a rooftop patio with rain shower, sun-bed and views across the landscape and the dark skies at night. Our bed was big and comfortable with beautiful linens. The bathroom came with supplies of soap and shampoo and had a both a rain and hand shower with plenty of hot water. The room also had a mini kitchen with sink, basic utensils and kettle. A really useful space if ordering food in. Netflix etc on TV but for us was unused. We used the pool in the garden and found it lovely amongst the trees and flowers. All together Baan Boom was a perfect stay.

    The only note we have about the property is that if you travel by grab or taxi - you have to clarify they should drive up the 4169 for as long as possible and not cut through the island. There’s a road that connects the property to more southern parts of the island but the road is steep and only suitable for motor bikes.

    The Baan Boom Boxes are a quiet oasis about a 10-15 minute drive from beaches, restaurants, and shops. A 7 minute drive inland from the main road, you are surrounded by beautiful nature! The resort is very secluded and there are no street (or tourist) noises - only the sounds of the island wildlife (and some of the cats that live on the property:). The rooms are private and air conditioned, while the entire facility practices a very sustainable way of living. We stayed for 10 nights and recommend the boxes to anyone looking to have an incredible experience on the island of Koh Samui!
