Family run, small, select and peaceful, yet only steps away from excellent restaurants, bars and boutiques.All rooms are beachfront and the view of the sea and outlying islands is spectacular. Many guests extend their stay, recommend us to others or return themselves, often to meet other guests who have now become friends. Its like coming home, they say. Lots of little touches to make you feel welcome including free pick-up and free internet. more » « less

The Waterfront is a great place to stay - from the moment you arrive you feel relaxed and 'at home' in paradise. Sue and Robin and their staff cannot do enough for you and the location is just right with its great waters edge position and just a short walk from the friendly restaurants and bars of Fishermans village. We... more

I booked here after reading all the great reviews on tripadvisor and I have to say that this place is surely lovely and valuable but not perfect. The problem is that there is no swimming beach in front of the hotel in this period because of the coral reef and you have to move to other beaches to swim. If... more

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights on our honeymoon while in transit to Koh Phangan. Although we were only here for a short time, I wished that we had decided to book here again on our way back from Koh Phangan. The staff were delightful and professional and the pickup from the airport and tour of the... more

Echo everything all other reviews have said. Great location for the village, clean and tidy accommodation, good price, good breakfast. Sue really wants everyone to have a wonderful time and takes great pride in her hotel. Good place to stay for a few days in samui. more

This a wonderful "old-world" hotel. We loved being greeted by Robin with a Gin and Tonic after a harrowing ferry from Koh Phangan. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. We stayed in the family apartment and then moved to the family bungalow. We liked both but surprisingly we liked the apartment better because the kids had their own bathrooms.... more

If you will visit Bohput on Koh Samui, the best hotel you can stay is the Waterfront Bophut hotel. It's has the most lovely view and place of Bophut. The hotel is not so very big, but therefore it is very cosy and very personal. From the first day we arrived at the hotel, Sue, the owner of the hotel,... more

We stayed at the Waterfront for 11 nights in July and what a charming place it was! A darling little place of only 15 rooms (I believe) run by Sue who looked after us as if we were her only guests. The customer service was so that upon being shown our bungalow we noted a tree was slightly obscuring our... more

We spent 4 nights at the Waterfront. Being the last stop of our 20 days tour in Thailand, The Waterfront was the perfect place to stay. They picked us up at the airport and showed the village, the restaurants and beach (everything within 5 minutes walking distance). Sue, the owner, and their friendly staff gave us a warm welcome and... more

We had a really great stay at the Waterfront. We chose it after reading various reviews on Tripadvisor on hotels in Bohput as were attending our friends wedding in the Six Senses Hideaway round in Samrung Bay. After arriving in Koh Samui after a crazy few days in Bangkok, we were met by Michael, Robin and Sue’s son who gave... more
