What we say:

If you're not promptly welcomed by the spirited lady who runs Chao Le Homestay, you'll know you've found it when you're standing under a trellis with a shark silhouette. The name's a bit misleading as accommodation here is not part of a homestay programme, but in rustic wood and thatch bungalows just like everywhere else on Ko Bulon. The wood and bamboo bungalows are large and sturdy, and inside they're very comfortable with big beds, mosquito nets, Western bathrooms and shelves so you can unload your backpack. All bungalows have a porch with a chair, plus there's space to hang a hammock. Chao Le Homestay is located close to the village and the restaurant here has popular seafood barbecues every night. It's also very close to the quiet beach at Panka Yai Bay. High season only.

very comfortable indeed, with the best restraunt

for me, this place is what an island's budget bungalow should be. very clean and tydy. has a big porch, glass windows, a shelf and a broom. travelfish is wrong because the toilet is squat not western, but it's spotless and has a sink and a mirror(rare in cheap bungalows!). the only drawback is the distance from the mainbeach, but this island is tiny and everything is within very pleasant 15 minutes' walk. and if you stay here, you're sure to be next to this island's best restraunt.
