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.

What travellers are saying
- Alessia W6 contributionsThis was a good experience. Its always what you make it when you go to somewhere entertaining. There was alot of opertunity for food and deals in the market when buying jewelry, clothes etc available. Walked on the beach and saw a bit of the fireshow from a beachfront resturant. There are areas with cheap alcoholic drinks and lively music.Written 21 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Doc BokVientiane, Laos255 contributionsDefinitely worth taking a day trip to visit. Water is really calm and you can kayak, snorkel and hike around here. The Blue Lagoon is protected so you can't swim there, but it is a beautiful spot to take pictures.Written 3 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Titus H4 contributionsWent with 5 friends for the 9am tour. It was far better than I expected. The tour guides were funny, kind, excited, and engaging. We learned a lot, especially about the important work they do there. I donated because of how strong the experience was. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Samui.Written 4 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Regina FGalway, Ireland48 contributionsA lovely beach walk, with plenty of restaurants dotted up and down it. It was very windy while we were there so we didn't go swimming in the water but wandering up the beach was pleasant.
I will say that the hackers that walk up and down the beach can be a bit pushy though, we had the same person pass us a few times & each time they tried to sell us something we didn't want or need.Written 13 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On return this year, the water is not as clear at all and there was rubbish and plastic everywhere on the sand. It’s a real shame I’m not sure what’s happened. It’s still lots of space to swim but I’d recommend going closer to the sala samui hotel for better water.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BalkrishnaShroffMumbai, India26,174 contributionsDuring our stay in Koh Samui, one evening we came here. It is located right in the middle of famous Chaweng street. It is a nice mall. There is something for everyone. There are individual shops and the biggest branded one was H&M. It is also children friendly. They have made a nice garden in the centre which was very well lighted.
