My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the eclectic look of the entire resort and how it is nothing like any resort/hotel we’ve ever stayed. Although its location is not “close” to restaurants, shopping, the beach, etc., they are within 10-20 minutes walking distance. The photos shown on different sites do not capture what you will experience when you are there. I would highly recommend this resort!!!

Glastonbury in Thailand
This was perfect for us.... we felt very much at home here. It's a little rough around the edges in places but we stayed in shiny resorts that were stale and pomp. Lovely friendly staff. Great to see children enjoying themselves not on screens. Impossible to see all the artwork, every day we'd see something new. We would definitely come back here.

Whimsical Getaway
This resort is absolutely magical! It felt like a whimsical garden of Eden. The staff were amazing and super nice. They helped us rent scooters, book excursions and massages, and even personally drove us to the pier on our last day. Breakfast was good, and one of the resort dogs is a sweetheart! He would come and greet me every time we returned on our scooters. The family suite has an amazing view and porch to relax on. Since it’s a rustic room I expected to see a lot of bugs and geckos but it was super clean and bug free. The only thing that could improve was the beds were pretty firm. Overall I highly recommend and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely beautiful experience, very old school Samui. You could spend hours looking at the art all over the resort. Pool was refreshing with a view over the water. Bit of a walk to the beach or Lamai, this place is best enjoyed with a rental car or scooter. Rooms a bit rustic but it adds to vibe.

Awesome Decor and Clean
Great place with awesome decoration and art, possibly hippie inspired. Beautiful view from pool area. Each unit is a private bungalow. Tie dyed sheets were a nice touch. It is a bit of a walk down the hill to the beach and simce I injured my foot the day before I stayed only one night and got a beachfront room. Only negative is that it is not beach front.

Beautiful, unique and full of love
This was the greatest place I have ever stayed. It is family owned and you can tell the staff really care and love it. It is extraordinarily clean - the room, pool area, restaurant ... spotless. The beach and town were very easy to access down a path (maybe 10 min?). The upcycled decorations and inspirational signs around the property created a loving, positive vibe. I have not a single bad thing to say about this place. It was absolutely perfect and I highly recommend it!

beautiful setting, 5 minutes to beach.
Typically Thai experience that is fast disappearing. Great food, Fantastic views and lovely people. If you are a nature lover and a dog lover this is a must visit place. You are surrounded by beautiful artwork and lovingly cultivated gardens in a wonderfully calming atmosphere. Your heart and mind will be healed by this place... Absolutely fabulous.. keep up the good works guys xx

Wonderland
If you ever thought about building your own dreamland, this is it. The moment u entered its realm you will be fascinated by all the colors, plants and crafts stacked into this small place. The room is simple natural style. The infinite swimming pool and the restaurant is so funky and overlooking the whole Lamai Beach. One problem is too many mosquitos if you are surrounded by nature and no rope or stack to hang the washed clothes.

A really friendly experience
We loved this place so much, I would recommend it to anyone visiting the island. The place itself is very unique and different in style to most hotels with its quirky charm. It is also very comfortable and clean. But most of all, it is family run by the loveliest people and their 4 friendly dogs, it makes such a difference to have this genuine friendly welcome rather than normal hotels where it's just someone's job. I felt very at home here. We spent 3 nights at multiple locations, I would definitely recommend anyone doing the same stays at Varinda

Hotel with character
If you are looking for marble floors and gold taps, this hotel is probably not for you. If you are looking for something a bit different, full of charm and character with good, friendly service at a family run hotel, it is. Accommodation was in Thai style bungalows, all done out differently with bags of character. Granted, perhaps could do with upgrading (towels and bedding a bit worn) but very clean and maid service was great - towels and bedding changed every single day. Good restaurant and lovely pool idea for families and kids and with lots of shady areas to relax in and get a spot of privacy. Short walk to Lamai centre and beach. Up an incline and shortcut via set of steep steps so not good if you are not very mobile or fit. Would we visit again - YES!
Verified Expedia guest review

2/10 Poor

Horrendous, or just misguided.
If you are going to book this hotel on the pictures here, than know that this is as dangerous as marrying someone from tinder based on their profile pic. I think I read an article once which said that everyone has at least five good photos of themselves. It is only under high definition and the light of day that the gravitas of this design crime is truly felt. Have you ever taken a psychadelic drug, had a really bad trip and woken up in an asylum? No? Then welcome to Varinda. Every possible inch or space has been filled with the detritus of a mad man. Mixed in with the thoroughly uncurated decor are the unnecessarily strict and repetitive warnings not to move or touch the furniture. It is as if the owners are aware that any slight adjustment to the placement would cause a singularity forcing the universe to collapse in on itself. Perhaps for the good, as we move onto the room that we paid $80 never to be seen again. Do you remember those bedsheets that your grandparents kept in the cupboard only to be brought out every five years when extended family was over? The you will be well versed for the stench of musk and stale breath that await you. In all honesty apart from a few sections of the wall falling down the room was serviceable, if overpriced. As for breakfast, let me just say if you offer a starving, disabled Labrador a bite under the table and he turns his nose up that says it all. Avoid the breakfast all together by booking anywhere else. Please.

Family holiday
We had a great time at Varinda hotel, our house was ideal for families with separate bedrooms with plenty of space and the house was cleaned daily,excellent air conditioning (a must with humid weather)and electric fans if needed.Breakfast was diverse and plenty of it too.The hotel its self is unlike any other,quirky and different from anything else we've stayed in,we had both pools to ourselves most of the time which the kids loved with the small slide,it's peaceful and quiet and 5 minutes to town,restaurants and beach although quiet steep climbing the hotel steps on the way back in 35 degrees heat? Overall we would not hesitate booking this hotel again,it might not be to everyone's taste but it certainly suited us.

Don't book this hotel!!
Don't reserve this hotel!! We were extremely disappointed. When we arrived they told us that our reservation had been cancelled, even though we had prepaid. We were given no apologies and their only explanation was that the hotel was full. They told us that they transferred our reservation to another hotel and we had no choice. They tried to scam us since the other hotel was cheaper and they wouldn't even refund us the difference. This had also happened to seven or eight other couples so they had probably overbooked and put up the price. Hotels.com were supposed to investigate this hotel. I would not trust them!
