Baan Hinta

10/10

The villa was a surprise for my partner. Our friends were hiding in the villa when he arrived, and Khun Gift convinced him it was an actual hotel. A+ service and acting. And the food was amazing! We've in lived in Thailand for three years, and that was some of the best Thai food we've ever had. Beautiful villa and excellent staff.

Ban Hinta was an amazing house and the Gift and her Team were incredible. They took care of our every need and always made us comfortable. We used the in house Chef every night as he was a spectacular cook and it is very reasonable to dine in house. We just loved the pool, the rooms, the view, the staff - EVERYTHING. It could not have been better

We had an amazing week-long stay at Villa Baan Hinta, Koh Samui. Huge thank you to all the staff who looked after us. From our arrival at the airport, delicious Thai meals cooked by the Chef with evening drinks by the pool, all accompanied by warm and friendly service. The property is very well maintained and the staff keep the rooms spotlessly clean. Pig Island and a Thai cooking class were both fun activities and easy to organize. We would recommend Baan Hinta and definitely stay again.

The home was amazing! Exactly as pictured. Just beautiful. The staff were equally amazing. Gift was so helpful and thoughtful. She made everything so easy. We were definitely spoiled! I would not stay anywhere else. They made our vacation better than we could have ever imagined.

The best holiday of my life. The Villa is beautiful and the villa manager took care of us and all our wishes. Chef food was excellent and he was always ready to cook dishes “out of the menu”. Swimming pool fantstic. I was there with my family and kids just loved our holiday

Villa location, views, layout absolutely amazing, near Lamay village and beaches, close to Silver and Coral beach, really best location on the Island. Team service just perfect with brilliant property manager Mrs Gift. Sincerely perfect villa rooms service very private. Access to the beach with rocks stunning. A little fitness room/aera is missing but it is really a little point. Between 1 and 10 I will put 9.9 without hesitation.

Just a wonderful stay with a great staff and a beautiful villa. The view is superb. The cook is exceptional. I recommend this villa. For your information, go to the beach with your shoes.

This villa was perfect for our group. Plenty of party area but also room to get away. The staff are fantastic, especially Kib the villa manageress and the chef caters perfectly for any meal. Great pool overlooking the beach and comfortable living/dining area Only drawbacks are that its a distance from Chaweng, the main location on the island. Lamai seems to be turning into bit of a backwater. And the beach below the villa is not really suited for swimming though its good to get out on the paddleboards.

We stayed at Baan Hinta for the month of August and had the most amazing time. Gift (manageress), the Chef and the staff (Nit, Ning and Tam) were absolutely amazing. They made our stay a complete success. The villa itself is beautiful and there is no longer any construction next door (the small resort is complete). The villa was kept sparkling clean and every request we had was addressed immediately and better still, with a smile. We had a few technical problems with the sound system etc and Gift sorted these out quickly and thanked us for bringing any of these types of things to her attention. The food was unbelievably good and we quickly left it to be "Chef's Surprise" for every meal. We had lots of visitors while at the villa and the team always made them feel special and welcome. They put on a wonderful lunch for 20 guests one day which was amazing and created a great atmosphere for all the children. Gift was incredibly good with our 3 year old twins and always made sure that she had little activities for them to do (feeding the pond fish, playing with a horse made out of coconut leaves etc) and took them off to look at things around the villa to give us a break from time to time (without even having to ask!). I read in the visitor book a great quote about Gift in that she should be running a corporation, she is THAT good. If we could have taken her home with us, we would have. So, in short, if you want a beautiful villa in a divine location with sensational food and better service than a 6 star hotel, then this is the place to go. And I am a hard judge!

An Outstanding experience which I would return for. Chef Ole and manager Jee provided superb , caring service and authentic Thai dishes everyday. Never have I eaten such complex Thai food and felt such warmth experience.

Having started in Bangkok for 4 nights we were really looking forward to the peace of Koh Samui and Baan Hinta. To say we were not disappointed is an understatement!!, from arrival to departure the experience was amazing. The manageress, Gift, took care of every little issue and question and always with a smile. The chef was on hand to cater for all tastes and the prices were very reasonable - usually coming out at around £10 per head for a full meal with starters etc!. The villa is amazing with fantastic views and facilities, 4 of the 5 bedrooms have wonderful sea views and all 5 bedrooms are massive!. We were lucky enough to have the master suite which was amazing. There is currently some building going on next door but the villa managers were excellent at dealing with this for us. Obviously this is not cheap accommodation, but if you have several couples to share the cost it is actually great value. My only criticisms were the lack of English tv channels(most didn't work due to poor signal) and the showers, they were amazing to look at but had very low pressure.

I have to say I am a frequent traveler of Thailand. I have traveled to many places and stayed in some of the amazing resorts around the world. By far Baan Hinta Villa has thought of it all, with every amenity you can possibly think of. From the Bose sound system throughout the property to the outdoor movie screen over the pool for evening entertainment. Plasma TV's in every room and bedroom. For us Americans that are not use to the hard beds in hotels throughout asia, these beds where very comfortable . The sheets and down pillows were quality with a high thread count. The rooms were decorated very tastefully along with award winning architecture. If you look at the roof lines of the home and the glass walls piercing down into the massive boulders you will simply be amazed. The large glass pocket doors fully open up giving you the most amazing view throughout which transcend outside and across the infinity edge tiled swimming pool across the ocean. You have a full ocean view from every bedroom. May I mention every room is pretty much a Master bedroom except one room that has two beds. It still is appointed as if it was a master. Let's not forget the staff. From the beginning of the stay you feel so comfortable having them in your private villa. They make you feel so welcome. They do the nice little gesture throughout the day; bringing you fruits and drinks out at the pool when you don't ask. They fix little appetizers when they think you may need a little bite of something. They organize all your car, or scooter rentals or day trips. It was very nice having them around to help. I feel as if by the end of the vacation they will be missed. They truly make the experience. We held a little cocktail party for a few friends. They took control of the details of the party and it turned out wonderful. They have fresh woven banana leafs all over the table and fresh flowers. The fruit was used as cut out decorations. It was very impressive. We could see them working all day setting this up. Of course last but not least, the amazing chef. What can't he do? The food was always cooked with a big happy smile on his face. He definitely came from a 5 star restaurant. He could make anything with his little twist on the dishes. The presentation was very classy. His design on the plates came out very artistic. It makes my mouth water thinking about his cooking. You can't go wrong with this villa. It's a must stay on this island if you're making a choice.

If you appreciate the finer points of architecture on a beachfront property with all the toys parents and children alike would enjoy, Baan Hinta is the spot in Samui. We enjoyed the villa for a few days with three other couples and our children and look forward to returning.....the staff were extremely friendly, helpfull with the kids and were excellent cooks. Many thanks again!!

This was the best holiday experience I have had in recent years.There were 6 adults and one toddler in our family group. The eldest traveller was my mother 88yrs and the youngest our grandaughter 18 months. There were five beautiful and extremely private suites although we only needed four. The architectural design is amazing with the villa designed around massive boulders which were a feature in every room. We were welcomed by a team of 5 led by the Manager Jee, and included our own Thai Chef who cooked the most amazing food. Just loved the Tom Yum Soup, Thai Banquet and lovely fresh barbecued fish. The food was so good we only dined out two or three times. We also took advantage of having a cooking lesson with the Chef and I can re-live the night we had his Tom Yum Soup, fresh spring rolls and other yummies at home. There are just too many accolades one can give to this magnificent property and their superior team. Another Villa by the same owner is to come on line next door in 2013, but I think Baan Hinta will always be my favourite.
