Description
The fan bungalows at Phi Phi Hill are large and comfortable, some with great views, some with tree-obstructed views. But even if you get stuck in one of the latter, there are really great views also from the hillside restaurant, although the feedback we've received indicated that the food and service leave a lot to be desired. The air-con bungalows have the best views, but all are well-kitted out and spacious for the price range. The cheapie bungalows have no porches and shared bathrooms, but yet again -- great views. Located on a steep slope with lots of stairs, it can be a bit of a work out to get around, but luckily they have some sort of funicular contraption to pull your bags up to the top upon arrival! If you book in advance, they'll throw in a free boat ride out there.

Just stayed here recently. For 700B, got a spacious bungalow. The restaurant had amazing views during the day. Only non-positive thing I have is the location that it is the end of Long Beach and of course the stairs.
Agree w/Tezza -

I found it a good deal at 400B for the sunrise side. First row was nice. Restaurant staff was good. Big difference from other reviewers experience. Probably better places at the 1000B huts, but the cheap ones are worth it.
Give this place a miss!! -

I would not recommend Phi Phi Hill. Paid 1000B for a bungalow which was as basic as you can get, all wooden throughout and the bathroom was pretty grim. The shower was a joke, the water dripped on you! The beds were very old and tatty and the one fan was not adequate for two people and was incredibly loud so hard to sleep with it on. The other big problem with this resort is the steps up, there are lots of them (very tiring) and the stairs themselves are in an awful condition really rusty and rotten, it seriously needs replacing. In the interest of being fair, I've read a lot of reviews who complain of poor service and bad attitude from the staff at phi phi hill, I must say we had no problem and found the service very efficient and really friendly and the food was good and cheap! We then checked into Paradise Resort also on long beach wow what an improvement, cost just 1,100B per night but got a nice and much bigger concrete bungalow tiled floor throughout right next to the beach.
Looks like they lifted their game -

I revisited PP Hill last week, by default on account hyper-inflation has hit just about every other bungalow place on Phi Phi. How about 1,200 for an outside toilet bungalow at Maphrao or a tent for 400B? 1,000 for nice but normal sized attached toilet bungalows at Poh's which were 500 last year. 500 for those old pokey outside toilet places jammed together up the back at Long Beach Bungalows (350 last year), 900 for a noisy upstairs room in town (500). Even Ao Toh Koh's cheapest bungalows were 500 against 300 before. Yet PP Hill still had their huge fan bungalows at 600-650, the small outside toilet ones at 400 (just big enough for a double bed, fan and two people's gear, but beats Maphrao's identically priced tents, plus awesome views) and the big aircon ones at last year's prices.
What's more the restaurant prices were still the same bargains. Only one of the ten or so bungalows I stayed at this trip could match the Hill's green curry with rice at 85 or the big Changs at 70. Those views from the restaurant are still amazing.
I paid particular attention to service in view of the comments by other reviewers below. Looks like the staff at the Hill have responded to the criticism, because it was particularly good in the restaurant. Lots of staff at peak times, menus were delivered quickly, orders taken promptly and the wait for food was not overlong, which was one criticism I had last visit. Only one time did they not have something I ordered, a pineapple juice. I also found the head girl pretty efficient. The manager guy is a bit taciturn at times, but all smiley at others.
My bungalow didn't rock and roll, although it was starting to show signs of some wear and tear. There seemed to be a shortage of chairs for the big verandahs and I noticed the verandahs did not have an extended roof to sit and check the scene during one of the several rainstorms. The stairway was quite solid, but here I must comment: it is a pretty solid climb up from the beach and for the overweight or unfit could cloud their judgement about the whole place. I rate it an 8 on account of the bargain prices compared to inferior bungalows in the area, and the great views and value in the restaurant.

yes, this place has amazing views, esp from the restaurant. But that in no way compensates for the unfriendly and sometimes rude staff members (mainly female). four times during our meals, the waiter/waitress came back to say, "miss, we no have (mango, ice, pineapple, shrimp...)" the female receptionist which all the other male staff seems to be scared of is indifferent to customers at best. We were quoted 400B for a ghetto shack, 600B for fan/cold water room, 1,000B for fan/hot water room and 1,500B for air-con/hot water room. We were able to bargain the air-con room to 1,300B and fan room/hot water to 800B fortunately. I think I lost a few pounds walking up to this resort... but that was the least of the problems. Next time, I would not stay here. btw, the longtail boat ride from Ton Sai to long beach was 80B.

Long Beach, Ko Phi Phi
Long beach is the budget option on Long Beach, and to be fair it's not a bad deal for the money. The grounds and bungalows are far from attractive and pretty rundown, but here's the saving grace -- it's by far the cheapest place to stay in this part of Phi Phi, and it's on a great beach with access... more
