Great Stay
This location was great and on the more relaxing side of Koh Chang. I wish we would have found it earlier because the hosts were amazing, the view was great, and the individual rooms were very nice.

Horrible experience
Located on a main road next to latex farms with a horrid stench, this establishment has little amenities, the room was unclean and infested with insects, owner sprayed insecticide in our room, refused a refund, yelled and insulted us in front of other guests. Avoid this place at all costs.

You have written this review because we refused to refund 2 nights of your 3 night stay..this booking was for a NON Refundable room After checking in you told us you wanted to check out next day and have refund..We ended up talking for 45 minutes with you and you repeatedly said its not fair we dont refund u..This was peak season and we explained we would try to resell the 2 nights but it is difficult to fill just 2 day space ..but if we could we would agree to refund.all days we could resell .But u didnt accept that ..You told us 20 times it wasnt fair ..then u threatened us by saying its in our best interests to give u what u want ..it was then we had to say enough is enough and walk away ..then u called out to us "ooh and there are ants in our bathroom" . Yet they werent there 1 hour before when u checked in..so i sprayed them,and put a fan to get fresh air thru your room.Please look at our reviews,,\on any booking site -we are super clean..have super service but u decide to write untruth that there is latex farm near by ..such nonsense because we have just nature and forest we have steep hills on 3 sides.The road in the front is empty after 7pm and as we are in quiet area the road isnt high traffic at day.the is no such thing as latex farm on koh chang ,//there are factories which process rubber on the mainland never did we insult you though after 45 minutes of you refusing to accept our very fair offer i did walk away .You thought by complaing so much i would give in ..But it was you who were unfair .So Lily and i were Very HAPPY when u told us u were leaving the next day.Sadly some guests can be very very difficult but most of our guests are wonderful and our other reviews tell the real truth about our place and our service ,clealiness and our great resort.We didnt sell the 2 days empty room so Expedia charged all 3 days as per the non refundable conditions

I booked Privacy Resort because of the good reviews...and I was not disappointed. The location on the quiet side of the island really suited me. Steve and Lily are excellent hosts...Breakfast is good and mini bar is stocked well and excellent prices...the pool looked very inviting...I stayed for 5 nights...was so busy exploring the island on my bike that I rented from Steve...I didn’t get to go in the pool. Steve has exceptional knowledge of what to do on the island and is a very genuine and great man. Steve and Lily are great people...I really enjoyed my time at Privacy Resort and will come back.

Couldn't ask for more!
Steve and Lily were absolutely amazing hosts. They provided us with anything that we could want or need during our stay with them in Koh Chang. The first night that we arrived to Privacy Resort, it was getting late in the night, and we were welcomed by Steve and Lily with tiny delicious bananas. YUM! They helped us get settled in AND even offered to take us to the nearest place to get food (they were getting dinner anyway and we were starving. They are really nice people. They educated us on the neat things to do in the area (for tourists, as well as what/where the locals go). Lily taught my fiance and I how to say thank you and hello in Thai - which helped us out tremendously during our 2 week stay in Thailand! They provided a great breakfast for us everyday - I highly recommend the fruit and rice soup! Delicious!! With this being our first time in Koh Chang (first time in Thailand), Steve and Lily were available to answer any and all of our questions and were so incredibly helpful during our entire stay. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good vibes and great service! **Also.. make sure to get the banana chips from the nearby coffee shop - best thing ever for 20 baht. Thank you so much Steve and Lily for everything! We had an amazing time and would definitely come back to your resort if we go to Koh Chang!

Wonderful stay
Stayed for 2 nights, it was our first time on the island. The owners Steve and Lilly were very helpful, giving us advice on good restaurants and beautiful beaches to see. We stayed in the deluxe double room. It was very clean with a large fridge, tv, awesome wifi and good a/c. The bed was a bit hard but all the beds so far on our trip to Thailand have been hard. It had a nice outdoor sitting area perfect for having coffee in the morning. The pool was well maintained and very refreshing with chairs around for lounging. Breakfast was very good, with choices of scrambled eggs or pancake with fresh fruit. It is located on the quiet side of the island so you will need to rent a motorcycle to get around as there is not much very close by.Steve even has some there to rent. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others. Thanks Steve & Lilly.

Get closer to the real Thailand
We had a great time at the Privacy Resort on the peaceful and natural east side of Koh Chang. Steve and Lily were amazing hosts of this small well built and maintained resort. We met the local people who are working to establish small businesses, all of whom seem determined to raise ecological standards in their life. The lifestyle is quite a contrast to the more established areas of the island like White Sands.

Was great! Thank you!
The owners of this resort are very friendly and offer a great service. They helped out with booking trips, taxis etc. One evening we all went together with other guests in the resort for dinner and was a great night. The breakfasts are also great. The rooms were clean. Absolutely no insects or bugs during my stay of 7 nights. Scooters available for rent at the resort which is always handy. Cant find any issues. Just note this is on the quieter side of the island so more suited to people who want a bit of peace and quiet.
thanks for the great review..its great when we hear that our guests have had a wonderful experience ..and we look forward to welcoming you back here one day soon thanks again

Clean, quiet, and private
Privacy and cleanliness is the best way to describe it. On the eastern side of the island so restaurants and shops are pretty scarce. Be ready to rent a scooter or higher a taxi if you want to go anywhere. However, there is a coffee shop within walking distance and they grow there own coffee; great pork steaks, beer, and ice cream too. The owners Steve and Lily are very welcoming as well.
thanks so much for kind review we hope we see you back again soon

thanks for your review and for staying with us ,unfortunately we dont speak french and maybe you misunderstood my too fast english .We only offered one tour to u and that was a boat trip for snorkeling etc.. we explained that such trips range from 600 -1700 baht .maybe u forgot i told u that . So most guests prefer the local trip starting near our resort at salek kok.These trips are 1200 baht which is great value because the tour is on a boat with just 4-8 persons max..you the guests are taken to beautiful beaches where big boats cannot go,,you snorkel in places where there are no other boats and best of all the trip is very guest friendly and you are not told to get back on boat -get off boat and you the guests control if u want to snorkel swim longer etc You did book to go on the trip and then changed your mind.Why would you think we would try to sell you trips that are not good value .We will sell you cheap tours or the best value tours.. but guests happiness is what matters to us..not price Many Snorkeling trips cost 600-900 baht -but these are not the same..they are on old fishing boats with 40-100 peolpe and the tours are very time table sensitive,,30 minutes snorkel,,1 hour at not so nice beach etc..you could be with very noisy groups from countries most guests avoid..u also have to travel to other side koh chang to join these trips which start in Bang Bao 60 km away from us.Our local trips start 5 km away in Salek kok and Salek Phet .we are most happy to sell u cheap trips but we also wants guests happy after they public minivan to bangkok costs 300 bht -have 16 persons and you bags at your feet >A luxury minivan costs 900 baht..they don't cost same because they arent same.a Renault Clio is cheap but not same as a Audi A7 which costs 10 times more and you get much much more we wish u had talked to us about your concerns..

Beautiful Bungalows on the quiet part of island
1) the Bungalows look really nice and are prepared with everything you need for your comfortable holiday 2) Steve and Lilly are great hosts! They are really friendly and give you information for any activity you can do on the island 3) we really enjoyed the location of the Bungalows. The Eastern part is so quiet and there are not many people. When you sit outside of the bungalow in the night, you can listen to the sound of the jungle which feels great. No humans around you, just nature! Thank you for that great days without paying much money :)
