Hin Kong Sunset Beach Front House

Amazing view and location, staff super friendly and can help with organising scooters and taxi! :) Recommend messaging in advance to organise

Lovely view, right on the beachfront. Very spacious house with a lovely outdoor deck with hammock. Nice restaurants nearby. Very spacious house. Free use of stand up board and kayak.

Cash deposit was needed which took up most of our spare cash. Host was late in getting the deposit back to us. Response times from host was average. Electricity and water went off on both evenings of our stay and there were no torches or candles. This may be an island wide issue.

Excellent location, near shops, restaurants and sitting right in front of the ocean! Quiet and peaceful, the property had everything I needed.

I can’t think of anything!

The house is lovely. The big bed is comfortable. The terrace has a great view and a breeze. Yes, there is no sea in the morning, but we knew that before we arrived — it was not an issue for us. There were no flies in the bathroom. The shower was weak and lukewarm, but it did not bother us in that heat either. There was tea, coffee and a few drinks in the fridge — which was so thoughtful! I only wish more places did that. There are nice bars on the beach within minutes walk. Unfortunately, due to the accident (see below), we did not see much else.

The low rating is the answer to the question “how was your stay?” Our stay was very stressful and it was made unnecessarily more stressful by Damian. My husband had a stupid accident on the first day. We received no sympathy, support or “anything I can do to help?”. Damien was patronising on the phone and argumentative when we met, making the whole situation even more distressing. My husband spent two days in the hospital, including a surgery to stitch back on flesh to his shin. There was a lovely family next door, who helped me and the kids on that first day. Nadege did message me the following day with her telephone number. But it was really rather too late by then. We would have appreciated help on the first day, especially negotiating hospital matters. It was totally unnecessary for Damien to be so patronising. In addition, upon Damien’s repeated advice, we missed our diving trip. We had to pay off the instructors for wasted time. He assured us that diving boats never leave on time (he has lived there for 8 years, he knows). Bringing scooters a little late should have been fine. Well - the diving boats do leave on time. And keeping 30 people waiting on the boat is rude, in my opinion. Please, take any sentence that starts “I have lived here for 8 years” with a pinch of salt.
