This is like finding a hidden gem on an island paradise. We want to shout its praise but we also want to keep it for ourselves. The Houben is outstanding! The accommodation is modern and well thought out. The swimming pool divine. The menu exceptional. And lots of well thought out extras made it feel like our dream home. It... More

Beautiful hotel, incredibly designed with attention to detail. Family runned, the staff is al friendly and so helpful. very small, only 15 rooms which is so nice and seems to attract quite a young crowd. Everything on the menu is incredible, rooms are incredible, pool is incredible and a great location. I'd stay here again in a flash.

Found this place at the last minute when we wanted to extend our stay in Thailand from KOh lipe and was blown away. The hotel is amazing, great views with beautiful rooms. The staff here were very helpful and attended to our needs promptly, a special shout out to shannah!!! She was great and attended to all our requests, big... More

We stayed at The Houben for 4 nights at the end of our trip and it was like having a home away from home. It's expensive for Thailand but worth every penny for the rooms, the seculsion and the sunset. If you begrudge spending European prices for a cocktail, either be prepared to eat and drink out or don't go... More

Nowadays the word boutique hotel is used in abundance. Big international chains have discovered the demand/need for a more personal hotel experience, but sadly guests are often disappointed once they arrive on site and find out that the hotel is far from boutique. On the other hand you also find many badly managed private hotels which try to pimp up... More

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at the Houben, and it was a great choice from day one. The owners were helpful and made sure all our requests were met and our stay was comfortable. The hotel is very unique and because it is smaller you have better service and less crowds. It is on a cliff overlooking the... More

Arrived here after leaving the Sheraton Krabi. The difference in the quality of the experience was almost a shock. Beautifully sited, intimate and hospitable. Staying here feels a bit like staying at a friend's home, assuming your friend has excellent taste in architecture and the funds to live in hilltop villas. Book a suite and watch the sunset from your... More

I am going to start this review by stating if you are used to the Ritz Carlton and expect that type of service at the Houben don't come. You will just annoy yourself, the staff and the other guests. If however you are used to and enjoy staying in amazing boutique feel hotels where the staff blend in to the... More

I stayed in koh lanta during low season the weather still great. I booked the hotel 2 days before arriving and they offered me a suite room for something like 100 euros a night. Motorbike rental included, the room had awesome views over the sea and a jacuzzi. Very wide and clean rooms, excellent swimming pool and the service is... More
