Viking Place Resort

Bad service, doesn't cost the money! - 15th July, 2009
We have booked the bungalow through an e-mail, then we called them in a day before we arrive, but NOBODY met us on the pier. When we came to the place, we found out that they do not have the bungalow we booked! And the last one with the sea view was very pricy. I agree that there is a challenge to climb up to your bungalow, holding the tree brunches, but it should not cost 3000BT in this case!!! BTW, the beach near the resort is tiny, though clean. After a quick consideration, we passed to the neighbor beach and found wonderful bungalows with balcony and see view even cheaper than one we saw here.

quirky but romantic - 25th November, 2008
along its stretch of beach, viking is really unique. it has way more personality and feels less overdeveloped than its neighbors, even though its sandwiched between other, busier areas. its beach is really pretty. the bungalows are cute - ours was up on stilts overlooking the ocean (awesome view). it kind of feels like luxury camping - there were no glass or screens on the windows, and we had to kind of walk out and around to get to the bathroom (though it was private). the mosquito netting and open-air arrangement is really fun and adventurous-feeling. our only real complaint (other than it being pricey - which everything seemed to be on phi phi) was that it was loud - with long-boats going past and the staff blaring music late into the night, it was tough to sleep. but, if you're a sound sleeper and enjoy feeling like you're in robinson crusoe, this place would be awesome.

not recommendable - 11th June, 2008
We booked ahead through an agent and arranged to be picked up at pier, noone arrived to pick us up. When we called them, the phone was passed around three diffrent people then they hung up. Finally got longtail boat to Long Beach and trekked our way up the rough trail to Viking. Older people, or disabled would find it very difficult if not impossible to get here. Food was pricey. Didnt get room we asked for. Noise from some kind of sewer system very loud and right next to our bungalow. They tried to charge us for food and drinks we never had. A 'waiter' who never even served us swore black and blue that he did. Not cool. Terrible service and difficult location aside, the place does hav somehas some funky furnishings and a private location away from the hustle of Tonsai....

Great place, but... - 20th February, 2008
It's in a great place. I phoned them several days before I arrive (and of course, I phoned them one day before I arrive), yet when I arrive, the manager wouldn't admit my call and the price I got from the telephone. He raises the room price. The whole check-in process upset me. Other staffs are great and friendly. Yet, the spot is great, but again, it's noisy at night with the music from the bars at near beach. They turn off the music at 3:00 AM...

nice place to stay on Phi Phi - 18th February, 2008
VIking is a great spot for hanging on their private beach during the day. Nice friendly staff, Tak the Manager is great. During the night it can be very very loud depending where your room is located, because of the bars and the echo across water: this can be remedied with earplugs. Room 3 is very nice for the price, room 10 is much less so. The restaurant is good there. You will need to take boat taxis everywhere else though and don't be surprised when the price increases at night.
