“Nestled into a hillside, this eco-minded retreat emphasizes its connection with Railay's natural beauty. Fan-cooled bungalows provide private vantage points from which to appreciate the surrounding bay and limestone formations. I found that its back-to-nature ethos, minus TVs or AC, really sets the tone for a tranquil escape, a short walk from Phra Nang Beach's climbing routes.”

Feedback about Railay Garden View Resort from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Railay Garden View Resort offers a stay surrounded by nature, with some rooms featuring stunning views, sometimes including monkey sightings. Guests frequently praise the good value and find the location convenient, with beaches like Railay Beach and Phra Nang Beach within a short walk, plus restaurants and shops nearby. Breakfast is well-regarded, particularly the banana pancakes, and the dining area offers awesome views; however, some guests have noted the absence of air conditioning in some bungalows as a drawback.

Jungle Escape with a View

quiet location short walk thoughtful staff

I really enjoyed the location.. the hotel sits tucked away a bit from the main areas. It. I appreciated that it was only a short walk to both the east and west beaches. The staff helped me carry my bags to the pier when I left. I thought that was a thoughtful touch.

There was no air conditioning in my bungalow, only a fan, which became a bit uncomfortable during the hottest part of the day.

basic cabins

lovely terrace friendly staff

the cabins were scattered up a hill and it was very peaceful there. there was a lovely terrace and friendly staff, i liked that. complimentary toiletries are given and free breakfast is available and coffee is served all day.

the fan did not help much with the high temperatures. i wish the shower had water pressure, this made it difficult to shower.

the garden was quite wonderful (i enjoyed it very much!). i saw monitor lizards and monkeys.

there were stains on the sheets. the cabin smelled of urine, and mosquitoes were everywhere outside. the mosquito net was broken so there was no way to open the window for fresh air (there is no air conditioning).
