Description
This is the first place along the beach as you arrive -- a long-time backpacker favourite with a lot of character and a refreshingly no-nonsense attitude about the art of hospitality. It gets a steady year-round trade, which makes it a great place to meet other travellers who have checked themselves out of the Ton Sai madhouse. The popularity of the place keeps the staff hopping, but they do try hard to attend to the needs of their guests as much as possible. They have a wide range of good bungalows, with a lot of choices in the mid-to-budget range -- nothing too swank, but generally spacious and comfortable with private bathrooms and big porches -- a good deal for the price. Advanced booking, especially in high season, is highly recommended.

Awful place -

Worst, dirtiest and overpriced dump we have stayed in. 2500 Baht for a twin bungalow with air-con. That wasn't the issue, problem was sheets were filthy and there was even dried blood on one of them. I went down and complained about it but because it was after 10pm they wouldn’t change the sheets. I asked to speak to the owner and was brought to this guys place and he promised to get clean sheets up to us asap. None arrived so the following morning I went down to complain and they were unbelievably rude to us. I hate arguing but this was a joke, it was only when a couple who were about to check in asked me what the problem was and I explained that they started to take me seriously and eventually changed my sheets. The food in fairness to the place was excellent but the service etc was the worst we have experienced in our 10 weeks of travelling. If you read my other reviews and comments I have wrote good reviews so its takes a very bad place for me to write all this.
Perfect off season stay -

This was the perfect place to stay in off season. Quiet enough to feel like the island was a deserted paradise but not so that it was eerie. The rooms are spacious, clean enough (you shouldn't be in your room anyway here) and the staff and amenities are adequate. Outside showers add to the experience! Would go back!
Wonderful! -

I stayed in a bungalow in the beach front, it was amazing walking out of the room and being on the beach, almost a private beach! The room was simple, but comfortable, with king size bed and air-con. The best was the location, a very quiet and relaxing place, and beautiful view of Phi Phi Lay!
No problems -

Fully operating. We had beach-front bungalow with air-con for 800B including breakfast. Beach is stunning and almost empty (Maybe 15 people on 1km of beach). Nice and cheap restaurant, bungalows OK and clean. In Ton Sai first working ATM!
