We love ❤ Au Si Bungalow, its restaurant and even more importantly the staff 💕 We planned to stay for 3 nights and extended because we liked it so much. People's critical reviews aren't necessarily wrong (yes monkeys, some insects, steps to bungalows) but I'd say "check your expectations"! If you want a 4☆ or 5☆ sanitised hotel then go elsewhere. If you want to get to know incredibly warm and lovely Thai people, be by the sea hearing waves when you sleep, lazy days in a hammock on beach, eat delicious food in the restaurant (particularly the set meals) then Au Si is for you! It was so peaceful. Sometimes we were the only people on the beach. Loved it and plan to go back!
I had almost a week here and without doubt the Setting is simply stunning. One of the few places left in Thailand that isn't now mobbed. The owners here were very friendly, and the bungalow i stayed in had a very comfortable bed and nice linen. The food as in nearly all Thailand was fresh, well cooked and cheap. The breakfast could be improved by offering fresh juice and not powdered. The place sadly though is in need of a good update. Described as a deluxe room, it wasn't. It was a clean simple bungalow with cracks in the celings for frogs and ghekos to wander in and out of and a tin roof for the monkeys to dance on top of. The bathroom was in need to revamping and the security on the Doors should be improved. There were also sightings of rats around which is a no go for me. As i say, stunning setting, but they need a good few months closed to update everything.…
The room was unacceptable. The mosquito net was not large enough for the bed. Ants COVERED the bathroom, along with a cockroach and something else that pooped on the sink? The windows were missing panels. Holes in the walls. The walk up and down to the beach was exhausting and the stairs were crumbling. We booked our room with breakfast included and they tried asking us to pay for it multiple times even though we clarified before ordering that it was included. I had ants in the bathroom, on the walls, on the floor, in my bags, and on me. If you like cleanliness and comfort DEFINETLY DO NOT STAY HERE. Garbage on the beach was unsightly. Booked for 3 nights and left after the first night. I honestly don't understand how this place has ANY positive reviews.
This place is a little more rustic than anticipated. Pretty cool if you like that sort of thing. WIFI was below average and was only available in the dining room. Food was only okay. Eating alternatives were a way away. The rubbish on the beach was a disgrace. I’ve stayed on many islands in Thailand and this was the worst I’ve seen. Apparently comes from Koh Phi Phi. Lots of people sitting around but no effort to clean up.
We came to spend 3 nights and ended up staying 9 nights. It's located right at the beach, we stayed at a bungalow overlooking the sea, so there was a nice cool breeze at all times. The owners Kasem and Wandee couldn't be more lovely and helpful. Nothing ever was a problem, they organized taxis for our arrival and departure and always gave us advice when needed. At first we were the only guests, but even when there were more in the course of our stay the place always felt quiet and relaxed. The bar is open till about 11pm, food is good, the beach is beautiful and quiet and the wifi is comparatively fast. You can watch a gang of monkeys roaming around occasionally, which is fun (but you might want to keep your doors shut when going out). I will definitely stay at Aosi Bungalow again when coming to Koh Jum, great value and we absolutely loved it.…
