Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We stayed here for two nights. Stay again when you're willing to come back to Phuket. The boss is a keen and polite companion. Ask them any questions you have, and you'll get pertinent advice. Unlike traditional hotels, it's a boarding house, so people communicate more closely, and, preciously, the room hygiene is well maintained, which I like very much. There's also a petite cat in the store, and of course if you don't want a cat in your room, she'll get a signal. Breakfast was delicious and was made by the staff on site every day. The hotel is located at the foot of the mountain and if you want to go to the beach or Phuket town, you need to take a taxi. But we didn't mind, because it was really too good for holiday boys to come. You can enjoy the pool in your favorite form with ease, and as long as it doesn't antagonize others, everyone will in fact welcome it. According to the boss, local friends gather here every Saturday for friendly and warm exchanges with travellers, perfect for those who like to socialise. And if you don't pursue socialization, then other times become very appropriate, as it's almost exclusive to you. In short, it is a highly Recommended place.

We had an amazing time here at the homestay. The owners make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. There are only a few rooms available and we stayed in a nice room with our own bathroom. The room is cozy and has everything you need. The owners are very friendly and make sure that they give you the best service they can provide. Breakfast is good and is being prepared when you want it, ever far after 11. The pool is very nice and plenty of space around it to have a layback day at the homestay. We stayed here also on Saturday, in the evening the homestay organizes a pool party with tasteful and homemade Thai dishes. Everyone is welcome so not only are there the other guests but also people from outside as long as you respect each other. Thank you Ulf & Boy for an amazing stay at the homestay and we will definitely come back in the near future

Me and my partner were there for two weeks in January and had a great time. Clean, affordable, good service and relaxed atmosphere. Generous and good breakfast. Unfortunately no gym but a well maintained pool that is big enough to swim around in. Cozy outdoor lounge corner. As this is a smaller hotel (five rooms), it gives the opportunity to socialize with the other guests (if you want). There is also a nice cafe in a beautiful green area 15 minutes' walk away. All in all a very relaxing and family friendly experience.

I love the location on the edge of a rubber tree plantation and jungle. The small town/village is an easy pleasant stroll away. It is very interesting Thai village where lots of tuk tuk drivers live. There are some small cafes where I enjoyed food. My favourite was Mr Grill. Bizarrely there is the number one foodie restaurant in Phuket The Thong Dee. I ate there twice and it was fantastic. I also strolled along the jungle track from the hotel to the Forest Cafe for lunch. That’s a lovely thing to do and a lovely cafe. I never got to Patong. I went to other beaches on a grab motorbike taxi. Surin beach and Leam Sing beach. They were fantastic. I did the full day tourist trip to James Bond Island which I enjoyed. The hotel had everything I wanted . Lovely bed and pillows. Adequate bathroom. Safe in the room. Peace and quiet spotlessly clean. Company when you wanted it. I went with some other guests around the island with a driver to see the big Budha and Karen viewpoint etc. I enjoyed the Saturday pool party very much. Meeting some of the local guys. Ulf the owner never lost patience with my host of questions and was happy to offer advice to suit me. Lovely pool and garden lovely staff. I have found a place I love and will definitely return to next year and will make myself get to Patong and Phuket Town. I loved it. Thankyou Ulf and your team for a perfect stay X

Stayed 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Loved the clothing optional theme which allowed us to swim, sunbathe and interact with other like minded guys with ease. Room was nicely furnished. Ulf, Boy and the staff were very accommodating. My partner & I even later returned to join in the Saturday pool barbecue although we had earlier moved to Patong area to experience another side of Phuket.

This is an excellent place to relax as a gay person. It’s easy to talk with others and share experiences. The crew was always helpful and open for requests and wishes. The gay homestay has a warm and welcoming atmosphere!!!
It’s located at the side of a small village which offers different opportunities for food, laundry, cafe etc.
Just ask the crew or other guest who come here every year for a holiday.

This place is so good that we have come back year after year for 4 times now. Clean and tidy. Hosts and staff are very helpful. Most importantly the atmosphere is so warm that we feel like a family. Meeting new friends and go outings, shopping and dinners together has become a norm here. Saturday's pool party is a blast with locals and foreigners gather for buffet dinner and have fun in the pool. Strongly recommended for guys who are looking for a quiet and relaxing place if you are tired of the over touristic life in Patong.

What a lovely place to stay with lovely people. I visited for the 7 day Phuket Sandbox and was taken really good care of by Ulf, Boy and Si.
I ate far too much during my trip to Thailand and the included breakfast was no exception. There are several places for a bite nearby so you don't really need to go into Patong unless you have to. Ulf and Boy took us to some nearby places for bite or a swim (Nai Han) which was definitely a highlight. I also booked a tour to Phi Phi island through them which was amazing. There's a house cat who is fairly friendly. It is a fair bit away from the loud touristy areas but I like the location for it's peace and quiet. The place is largely peaceful except for an evening orchestra of critters which doesn't last long. There is a nice forest cafe walk/hike nearby so bring good quality shoes.
I really hope to return in the future and see more of Phuket but mainly to relax and chill. Best wishes.

Great little spot with a lovely pool and great rooms. Tucked away in a quiet spot which makes it great to escape the craziness of Patong while still only being 15min bolt to all the action. The couple who run it are very warm and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

I was lucky enough to spend two nights here last weekend. What a lovely experience! Ulf took such great care of me and was great company. They were very relaxed about early check-in and late check-out. Sai took me for a walk around the dam on Saturday. And Ulf took me for a drive around Patong on Sunday morning. Sai also made lovely cinnabuns for Saturday afternoon coffee with Ulf's friends. Also had some great food with Ulf at Thong Dee restaurant - an easy walk from the villa. The pool is lovely! Ulf has a fantastic movie/series collection for rainy evenings. (The delicious eggs benedict (with salmon) were served at the Homestay; the other food/drinks were at outside restaurants.)
