The villas are not entirely enclosed, i.e. the doors and flooring has space in between so the a/c escapes. It never actually gets cool in the rooms.

Bungalows were small - I was in one with 2 single beds but they were clean, 2 fans, simple bathroom, quiet - all I needed. Price very reasonable. Simple continental breakfast if you wanted to eat there with homemade bread. Everything cooked nicely. Constant refill station for drinking water - saving SO many plastic bottles! Brilliant and necessary 💚 There was a nice vibe around the pool, good for families. I had 2 massages, both good. Close to the beach, shops variety of places to eat. Bicycle hire etc... Everyone was welcoming, trustworthy and helpful. I met Oscar, the owner, as I left and was delighted to hear how active he is in regards to eco tourism and sustainability both for the environment and the locals. Thank you so much.

The pictures do not do this property justice. The rooms were beautifully situated as individual private bungalows. The owners of the property were very nice and answered any questions regarding excursions, moped rentals, etc. The breakfast was delicious. And the cats and dogs on the property were the cutest. I would definitely stay at Mook Lanta again!

Value for money with great service and location
Overall experience was good. Mellisa was a great owner which helped out in many request and information. Location is just 5 mins walk to Rocky beach and 5 mins walk to the main road which has everything from 7-11, restaurant and bars. If you are ridning/driver do beware their first signage is only for "walk" in and to park you will need to go through another entrance which has totally no signage but just lookout for "Lily resort". A car park signage out there would be perfect for first time customer.

Response from Mellisa on 6 Jan 2020
Thank you Teik for your lovely review. I accept your comments regarding the signage. The original road, used to be not just for walking in, but also you could drive up to us from there. However our neighbours are having a disagreement and have blocked the road for through traffic. We have installed a new sign by our car park, so our guests know where it is and we are currently in talks about a new sign along that road. If anyone is reading this and is bringing a car/motorbike with them, please contact us for directions to our car park. Thanks for taking the time to review us, we do appreciate it.

Wonderful place to stay on Koh Lanta
I stayed in a bungalow with AC. The room was very clean and tidy and housekeeping attended daily. The bed was very firm. The owners and staff were friendly, helpful and made me feel welcome. The breakfast is incredible, I would stay again just for that. Tea and coffee is available for free throughout the day, and water is available whilst reception is open (7am-7pm). The bungalows get hot during the day therefore I recommend an AC room. I did find the curtains to be thin, which allowed the sun to heat the bungalow quite a lot. I hung towels at the windows to help cool the room and save some energy by running the AC less. Location wise, I'd say this place is ideal if you like some quiet. It's close to many restaurants along the main road and about a 30 second walk from the beach. It's near some bars, but it's a few minutes walk away from the more lively areas further up the beach.

Response from Mellisa on 16 Apr 2019
Many thanks Alistair I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Over the low season I am doing a number of improvements and adding softeners to all the beds is one of my main priorities. Another low season project will be to thicken the curtains to reduce the light in the rooms. So I hope you will come back and check that out.

Hotel staff was super nice. If you are going to book anything make sure to do it through the hotel. They have a great deals. The best part of our stay was the hotel’s dogs! We are dog lovers and we loved being able to come back to the resort each day and have a dog there to pet. Unfortunately, we visited in the off season and there were limited things to do on the island. The only complaint we had was that the bed was a bit hard and uncomfortable. Other than that it was an excellent place to stay!

Many thanks Pete for your review, I am glad you like the resort and our lovely dogs. Please always tell us if you find the bed hard, as we are able to soften them a little. When you came the weather was limiting the options of activities you can do. Unfortunately you were unlucky as the weather can be great (as it is now). Hopefully the next time you return, we can show you some more activities to do on the island. Kindest regards Mellisa

Perfect stay !
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this hotel ! The staff is friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is really good ! We had a cozy fan bungalow for 5 nights and it was perfect, spacious, comfortable bed, clean shower and toilet! Literally 1 min walk from the beach and 2 min from restaurant and convenience store! A little tip, on the beach, the first restaurant called “marina” is awesome, every kind of food, good price, delicious Thai food, friendly owner ! Will definitely recommend this hotel !

Quaint Cottages, Steps From The Beach!
Enjoyed our stay at Mook Lanta! Staff were very helpful and responsive whenever we had questions, the location is great, and the cabins are pretty good. Experience was absolutely in line with the reviews we read beforehand. Location: a quick minute walk and you're on the beach, next to some cozy, cheap beach bars and massage huts. 5 minute walk down the road to a 24hr 7-Eleven, with plenty of restaurants in between or beyond. Cheap tuk tuk into Saladan Village. Easy walk to the Lanta Animal Welfare centre (must visit). Lots of helpful recommendations posted in the lobby, too. Food: Amazing international breakfasts (mook muffins)! Tasty snacks. Thai food was okay, would recommend going elsewhere for that - no shortage nearby. Cabins: Nice, rustic cabins. Bed and pillows were good. Small safe (not big enough for 13inch laptop). AC was pretty good, although not perfect if you needed to stay in the cabin during a sunny day (i.e. were sick). Blinds are very thin, so be sure to bring an eye mask and earplugs if you are a light sleeper! The surrounding wildlife is loud at night, as is the loudspeaker on the main road. Keep in mind these are simple cabins (i.e. some small spaces in the floorboards) so some bugs could come in, nothing major though. Not a problem for us. Worth noting that we were a group split into 2 cabins, and despite identical costs, one cabin was definitely better (nicer TV with many more channels, nicer bathroom/shower set up). Overall, would recommend!

Thank you for a lovely and accurate review. We have a range of accommodation, from very basic to much more comfortable, so choose wisely, or if you are not sure, ask me. I totally agree about our thai food. Our main focus is on breakfast and snacks because there are so many great restaurants near us for superb Thai food. The wildlife can be noisy (the rain sets the frogs off) and the muslim call to prayer will wake light sleepers up, but it lasts only a few minutes (and many enjoy the sound). I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and I hope to see you all again.

Hi Tony I am glad you like our resort. We always try to be around the resort in the morning and evening to answer guest inquiries and help with tours and advice. But as our restaurant and bar is so close to the rooms that we feel it necessary to shut the bar at 7pm in order for guests to have a pleasant stay.

Good location, very nice staff
Good location, close to Long Beach, lots of bars and restaurants around. Very nice staff also. We stayed at AC bungalows and then to fan bungalows. Although the AC looks way nicer inside, it gets very hot because there are no mosquito nests on the windows so you can not open them. On the fan bungalows there are smaller windows, but you can live them open all night. Overall, nice place to stay on a low budget.

Nice place, let down by a horrible mattress
Well managed. Bungalows are pretty clean and the grounds are well kept, the bar and breakfast area is inviting and free of clutter. The bed sheets were of excellent quality however the two inch mattress is rock hard and ruins the whole experience.
Response from Mellisa on 7 Apr 2017
Hi Frederic Oh I do say this time and time again, but I do mean it, 'TELL US.' Our mattresses are hard and some people love them, but others not, we can endeavour to soften the mattress even more if you tell us it is not enough. However if you love a soft mattress we are not the place for you. Thank you for the rest of your lovely review.

A rustic bungalow experience.
Make note that this is a rustic experience. If you are looking for a hotel-quality stay, this is not your place! I had originally booked for two nights but had to leave one day early as my girlfriend and daughter did not like the noises at night. The noises are very loud, but for someone who likes to camp it did not bother me. The owners are great, and the place is charming. It is a short walk to the beach.

Thank you Charlie Your comments are absolutely correct, there is plenty of wildlife near us, and if you need absolute silence, we are not for you.

Nice, but not great for the wet season.
Mook Lanta was a lovely bungalow village that caters for lower to higher budgets. Unfortunately, I was there in the wet season so the roads were muddy and getting in and out of Mook was a bit annoying. My bungalow was very clean, but my bed was like a big box with springs in it. My back is still sore!!i I left a day early as I couldn't bare another night on the bed. The owners are an English couple, so if you want the full Thai experience you will be disappointed. They were very nice though.

Hi Sam I am really dissappointed by this review, as you and I spoke many times during your stay and I thought you were happy (except for the rain), hence why you left early. If the bed was uncomfortable, why did you not mention it? I could have added a softener onto it. Mellisa

Less Security Eco Resort
Our first visit to Koh Lanta and attracted to the laid back experience written by the travelers around the world. But there is few advantages and disadvantages staying at this resort and if you think about security, you should spend few hundred Baht to book at nearest place with more security within the hotel compound. We have a scary experience here, we being robbed while sleeping and it made us loosing around 7000 Baht and the owner that met us (which is an Australian lady said to us that the incident had been happened numerous time and the unfortunate thing is, the security at this resort is minimal and reception only open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m (Thai's Time), Disadvantages: 1. the resort consist of units of wooden chalet which terribly hot during day time and also night time. 2. if you take the unit with the fan, the fan is small but you can request for the 2nd fan but the electrical terminal just 1, if you take the air conditioning room, the tropical heat will get you dizzy when you want to get out from the room 3. No in house security with the motto "book and pray" 4. reception is open from 7am to 7pm, the rest is on your own 5. only one secure route to the beach, there is another route but you need to play hike and seek with the guard dog 6. close all the window while sleeping in the hot day time and probably you might being robbed because according to the owner for the locals there is less income during the low season 7. mosquito, built on reclaimed beach swamp
Response from Mellisa on 3 Sep 2016
I am so sorry for your experience, we did advise you to lock doors and windows. We are having all the windows changed in the fan rooms to prevent this happening again. This has not happened numerous times to our resort, only twice and both times, when a door or window has been left open at night. There is a general problem in low season, so we ask you to be careful. We live on the resort, as do many of our staff so whilst the reception is only open 7am to 7pm, we are always available for emergencies. We have dogs, CCTV and safety deposit boxes available for your use. We regularly spray our gardens to reduce mosquitoes and have never, to my knowledge, had anyone suffer from Dengue from a mosquito bite at our resort. I am sorry we did not meet your needs, our fans rooms are much hotter than an air conditioned rooms. I am surprised, as someone who lives in a nearby country that you were surprised about the heat.

A 2 night stay in an AC bungalow. Room was spacious and comfortable, nicely and simply decorated.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Mook Lanta, the rooms were clean and comfortable (if you're going during the sticky months you really need an air conditioned room), it's a 2 minute walk to the beach. The breakfast is delicious and there is free tea and coffee 24/7. Generally the staff were friendly, very knowledgeable about anything to do with the island and mostly happy to help. Unfortunately our stay had a bit of a sour end when the receptionist made a mistake when booking us in for a tour which we paid for but she insisted that we hadn't. This all came to a head when we were checking out and she got very defensive and rude, refusing to look at me or say goodbye. Apart from that however, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

Great little stay
Had a great stay at Mook Lanta. We were in an Air Con hut (G8) which was located away from the bar/breakfast area so was quiet. A short walk to the southern end of Long Beach where it's rocky bit walk another 2 mins and you'll find a nice sandy beach with a few beach bars. Scooter rental from the resort was easy and walking distance to the main road for more restaurants and a 7-Eleven. Beds are hard but ok for us. Shower had warm water and the setting on stilts is very pretty.

Cheerful Stay in Beautiful Ko Lanta
We had a fabulous four-day stay at Mook Lanta - where we enjoyed the surrounding neighborhood, the friendly and always helpful staff, and a few excursions we booked through the hotel. While we did run into a few snapfu's with our air conditioner when we upgraded to the air-con room, the staff was quick in helping to remedy the situation. The location of Mook Lanta is second to none, with quick access to Long Beach and Relax bay within walking distance. It is also situated nice and close to the main pier when you leave the ferry from Krabi. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we enjoyed our time there. The only potential improvement to the comfort of the rooms would have to be the mattresses :) But that's a small thing when you look at the entire experience!

Great place to stay, loved the staff!
Unfortunately for my boyfriend and I, we were only here for 3 nights, during the monsoon season, and it rained the entire time, which is very unlikely from what I hear. This place was perfect for it though, with the above ground walk ways you could still get around easily. And we had a perfectly covered balcony where we sat outside and just watched the rain. We rented a scooter from the hotel and someone drove into us and drove off without stopping, and the hotel was very fair with the prices of the repair. And after we told them about the scooter accident they still offered to give us another scooter for the remainder of the 24 hours we rented one for. They also recommended a great travel agent just up the street and to the right, where the agent spoke english and gave us a great price, cheaper than what i found online and cheaper than the brochures I found in Thailand with prices. We went out to the beach at night time with flashlights and saw lots of hermit crabs. I'd love to come back in the high season! Great place to stay, I'd highly recommend it!

Great Jungle Island Bungalow, live like a local
Overall experience was great! We wanted the real-life feel of living on the island and we got it. It was so fun staying in our spacious air-conditioned bungalow on stilts. We visited in June, during the hot season, so the AC was a must and it worked great. If you want high luxury, this isn't the place, if you want the feel of living on the island and the bungalow experience, then stay here. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, the owners are just as great and are present to help you with anything you need. The hotel offers scooter rental, laundry service, can help with excursion reservations, etc. Plus they have a restaurant (delicious!) and bar (full bar liquor and beer) which is lovely when you don't want to leave and the beach is only a 5 minute walk away. It rained really hard one night (which it is known to do on this island) and we felt like we were living in the jungle with all the sounds of the frogs and insects, lightning and thunder. The room rate is excellent with all the amenities they provide and I wouldn't have chosen a different place if I had the choice.
