Ban Elephant Blanc Bungalow

Ban Elephant Blanc Bungalow Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Ban Elephant Blanc Bungalow? The name made me expect something touristy and kitschy, but this three-star place actually has some genuine charm to it. I mean, sure, it’s not going to blow you away with luxury, but there’s something refreshingly honest about the whole setup that I really appreciated.

The bungalows themselves are scattered around this surprisingly lush little compound – and when I say little, I mean it in the best way. You’re not dealing with massive crowds or getting lost trying to find your room. Each bungalow feels pretty private, with these covered porches that honestly became my favorite spot to hang out in the evenings. The rooms are clean and straightforward, nothing fancy but everything works. The air conditioning actually keeps up (which, let me tell you, isn’t always a given at this price point), and the beds are comfortable enough that I wasn’t counting ceiling tiles at 2 AM. What I really loved was how quiet it gets at night – you can actually hear the sounds of the surrounding area instead of highway traffic or other guests stomping around above you.

The staff here seems to genuinely care about what they’re doing, which makes such a difference. Check-in was smooth, they were helpful with local recommendations without being pushy, and honestly, their enthusiasm for the area was kind of infectious. The common areas have this relaxed vibe where you might end up chatting with other travelers, but it never feels forced or overly social if that’s not your thing. There’s decent WiFi throughout (tested it extensively while catching up on emails), and they’ve got this small restaurant area where the food is actually pretty good – nothing revolutionary, but solid local dishes at reasonable prices. I’d say the 8.2 rating makes sense; it’s not perfect, but it delivers on what it promises without any major disappointments. If you’re looking for something authentic without breaking the bank, and you don’t need a pool or spa services, this place gets the job done really well.

  Great placed village a little bit outside of kata main roads, So you get a nice place to stay close to everything else. Staff was very nice and helpful. Beds and bungalows are very nice aswell.

• Egor from Russia (9/10)

  Nice, cozy, and silent hotel not in the center of the city. Comfortable rooms, a long swimming pool, and cute staff …

• Mikael from United States (9/10)

  A Small Beautiful Oasis in location close to Beach & Town, but "Remote" in Sound & Ambiance / Stillness. Family run by French & Thai couple, combing the best of both worlds .. One Word: Relaxing !
