i went to koh chang many times but this is my first time staying at Gu's Bay. it was on the far end of the island...quiet but close enough to a party/hangout place like lonely beach. Our room was an AC bungalow with a king size bed (thick comfy mattress...to be exact!) TV and open air bathroom...it was simple...a bit... More

We stayed at Gu's Bay for three nights. We had a basic fan room with bathroom. There was only bed and table with tv. The room was so hot that we can not sleep there. The location was poor,and the hostel area too. If you like to drink everyday and party with the staff, this will be your place!

All that you would expect from some relaxed place on the beach. The audience is mainly young Europeans looking for some relaxed daytime and some beers in the evening, but also some families. It mixes quite well here. If you don't mind a sandy beach, you get good value for your money here.

We stayed at Gu's Bay with our 2 children of 8 and 13 and had a great time. We had a basic room with a fan but this was good enough to cool off the room at night. The rooms are basic but clean and showers work with warm water. Min was the bed which was very hard and you... More

Really lovely place, it's right on the beach, but it does not have a sandy beach...it has grass, which i thought is even better!! from the outside the bungalows have beautiful colors, and from the inside they have a very captivating design: modern with an artsy twist. The swimming pool is very clean, and the manager will drive you wherever... More

Chill-out central. Come here for hammocks, delicious food, fun people, and giant buckets of booze. Remove any preconceived ideas of white sandy beaches; they don't have them. But the rocky beach Gu's overlooks and the laidback atmosphere of this place can't be replicated. A typical day: wake up whenever, time means nothing here, and drop into the restaurant for some...

Gu's is lots of fun! If you are 20s-30s and want to relax/explore during the day and then have fun at night just hanging out at the bar and getting to know people, it's a great place to stay. Get the bungalows for a little more per night.

I stayed in Gu's Bay with 2 friends and was really pleased about this place! Nice rooms, beautiful view (if you take the sea view bungalows, 400-450baht), friendly staff, great garden with swimming pool right next to the sea and I loved the thematic reception/restaurant! Of course it stays a hostel but an excellent choice if you're looking for some... More
