Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Best water color & sand!!
Feb 2023 • Couples
In our travel in Thailand we did some island hopping and Bamboo Island is by far the best looking when it comes to the combination of the natural & wild side of the island + beautiful sand + the best turquoise shades ever seen.
Loved it! Pictures don't do it justice!

Crowd at Bamboo Island
Feb 2023 • Couples
This was the first place where we could touch the amazing white powder fine sand and turquoise mild warm sea. The only problem was the density of speed boats as they spat out the curious crowd.
Otherwise it was a fabulous experiment.

Beautiful water great swimming location, the weather was good but a little windy and the boats were having trouble on the beach (apparently December it is a bit choppy and windy)

Not worth your time.
Nov 2022 • Couples
A bland island we visited as part of a tour. The beaches can not compare to other parts of the country (Maya Bay, Railay etc.) and I’d put it on the same level as beaches in the UK or Ireland. It was the most boring part of our holiday and we couldn’t wait to be picked up again by the guide. Snack shop is expensive. There is a 400 baht fee to visiting which is understandable to preserve it but if given the option, do not pick a tour based on seeing the island or go out of your way to visit. There is no bamboo also.

Absolutely stunning

Only reached by longboat. Stunning beach and clear waters. No shade or umbrellas for those needing shade. It’s a must visit if you are close by

Picturesque island
Nov 2022 • Couples
Came here as part of a lm organised ‘early bird’ tour.
Island is beautiful it’s just let down by all of the dead coral on the beach, and within an hour of us arriving it was like Benidorm. Just a wall of people, which ruined the experience.

Much preferred the similan islands.

Nothing special in my book
Sep 2022
OK, this is an island with lots of sandy beaches, but I guess I didn't see what was so exciting about it. Maybe it's just because my son and I were tired and this was just a stop on a boat tour, but I wouldn't necessarily go back. I think there are better islands to visit.

There is nothing there but beauty, the most beautiful place we've ever been to. Only minus the fact that we collected garbage on the way back to the boat. It was still the most amazing couple day out there. which we will never forget.

A MUST see!
Jun 2022 • Couples
We took a private tour from Phuket and this was the most beautiful beach I’ve seen in my life. The white sand, pristine turquoise waters, I was in heaven. There are some areas for snorkeling because the water is so clear. The beach was very clean. We went on a weekday when it wouldn’t be as busy and even at 1pm we were only one of a few people on the beach. It’s perfect for sunbathing and swimming. The water temperature was very pleasant.

The sand there is not as it looks like on the pictures :))
May 2022
We had a group tour and this was one of the last attractions. The water is so warm, but the sand was not as I imagined. It was coral sand, which is not so tiny and pleasant as white sand, but still, I recommend you to visit this place.

We also shot the video that showed what else you can find on this island, and if you in general interested to see the main attractions in Phi Phi but still doubting or choosing where to go first, then type the title on YouTube:

"You better learn THIS before going to Phi Phi Island Tour"

We made a detailed guide with maps and locations for snorkeling, describing where are the main attractions, which boat is better to choose and which places don't wort your time.
