The two platforms agree to within a tenth of a point across 402 reviews, which is the signal we look for. Scores that diverge between platforms usually mean one of them is thin.
Confirmed on Booking.com (9.4 from 337 reviews) and Agoda (9.6 from 65 reviews), checked 15 September 2026. Agoda's sample is small, so the Booking.com figure is the better guide. Booking.com shows no star rating. Sub-scores and listed facilities read from the Booking.com property page. We have not stayed here.
This is one of the most striking sets of numbers on the site. Around ฿2,250 a night, and a staff score of 10.0, a perfect ten for service and the joint-highest staff score anywhere on the site. Value for money 9.6. Location 9.7. Nothing on the board below 9.0.
It is a small adults-only guesthouse up behind Lamai with a pool, a garden and a sun deck. There is no restaurant, no spa, no gym, and Booking.com does not assign it a star rating at all. What it has is a pool, somewhere to sit, and by all accounts people who look after you properly.
Amari Koh Samui, a five-star on Chaweng, scores 8.1 on value against this property’s 9.6.
One honest caveat on the evidence. Agoda has only 65 reviews here against Booking’s 337, so the combined figure clears our 150 bar largely on Booking’s strength. Treat the 9.4 as the reliable number.
