I traveled on my own to Samui for some quiet time. I knew nothing about the layout of the island, towns, or beaches. What I did know was that I didn't want to stay in a touristy, dirty, and noisy area. The Scent ended up being a great choice. Architecturally speaking, it is very attractive and quaint. The pool is... More

I cannot add much more to Jewels_Gva review below it pretty much sums up this hotel. It is beautiful in a lovely location and the food is excellent. We also found it strange in such a small hotel we did not once meet a manager. Although the staff try very hard they don't really seem to know what to do.... More

This hotel is what a boutique hotel should be. A small, charming and well-appointed hotel, it only has a few units all overlooking a pool. Each room has its own theme and is decorated as such, down to the small details. Sure, perhaps the lighting is a bit too dark. And perhaps there isn't enough water pressure coming from the... More

We stayed for one week in the Scent, and I have to say this is a particularly difficult review to write, as I have some very strong mixed feelings about this place, and particularly the way it is being managed with low regard for its clients. LOCATION


 The hotel is located on Bophut Beach, more particularly in Bangrak, which is... More

Beautiful hidden gem that has a breathless view and an incredible lunch menu with service that was first class. Stumbled upon this diamond and was immediately reminded how tranquil Koh Samui is. Lunch there in the afternoon and a guided tour of the grounds by a lovely staff member, Miss May. Kind, knowledgeable and truly a leader in the way... More

Thank you Scent for an amazing 3 night stay. The hotel truly is a secret, magical place, hidden behind a plain looking street facade. I adored the hotel's style l, staying in one of the beautiful beachfront suites. The beach is really quite good!! Not as shallow as other areas, but less polluted and very quiet which is great :)...

I spent two nights in this little boutique hotel with my partner, and really enjoyed the quiet exclusive location of this hotel tucked quietly in Bo Phut beach, which is really a nice getaway from all the noise and traffic in Chaweng beach. The rooms are nicely furnished with nice lighting and amenities, with a spacious bathroom which is great.... More

I stayed here with my boyfriend and it was amazing! Luxury for the price of a mediocre hotel in Canada (mind you, we got a good deal on Hotels.com). The breakfast was included and it was fabulous. I consider it money well spent when a restaurant can cook something better than I ever could at home. My favourite was their... More

We stayed at the beach front suite on 2nd floor. Excellent room with private veranda and hammock...you can sleep with lapping sound of sea. Service is good but not intrusive. The entire team was very sweet and helpful including housekeeping ladies who folded my lotus bouquet but I think GM is not so friendly. As honeymooners we were given complimentary... More
