Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There has been a construction work in the back garden, banging from 7.45 am till about 5 pm. Photos are very old and don't reflect reality on any websites, the hotel has been rundown, definitely overpriced!

This is a nice clean hotel if you need to stay near to the pier and if you get a deal on the price. But to me, this place was way overpriced at 2000 THB/night (incl. breakfast) which is what we paid per room in the high season. On the positive side, rooms were big, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed, including a mini-fridge and coffee/tea maker. Although unwelcoming at first (no friendly, smiling "Sawasdee ka" here), the staff eventually warmed up and were helpful, although not great with English. The pool was quite good and the back area was green and quiet. However, I was shocked when we arrived to find the hotel building is directly on the road, not set back a way in. Our "sea view" rooms overlooked this road and we were constantly disturbed by the unpleasant sound of loud motorbikes and other vehicles. Noises interrupted our sleep and baby's napping. We asked to change but nothing was available. Also, the bathrooms were big and clean but my toilet blocked up and the other room's shower was broken. Unlike other reviewers, we were not impressed at all with the restaurant. We found it pricey for mediocre (at best) food. Also, it is right on the road, so also loud. Walk around the corner for tasty, cheap local eats. For a 2-star hotel, this place was very good, but not worth what we paid. Aside from the pier, there is not too much here to see or do.

Good afternoon! Myself and my wife came to Krabi to get a boat to Railay beach during the Thailand and Malaysia storms on 04-01-19. We didn’t feel it was safe to get a boat from Ao Namao pier at 8pm during the storms so we both walked away from the sea to find shelter at night. We stumbled across THIP residence and Orn was amazing, very pleasant and helpful. I would recommend the hotel, cheap and cheerful

Lovely spot with large spacious room. Extremely helpful hotel and restaurant staff eager to assist with travel plans and very accommodating with menu variations. Conveniently located near the ferry to Railay beach as well as a short walk to nearby shops and restaurants. Very nice pool. Neighborhood is a little run down but it’s authentic.

This hotel is definitely value for money. It is in a quiet area of Krabi which makes relaxing here easy to do. The hotel offers a large pool and massage facilities and is only a short taxi drive away from Ao Nang which is a lovely beach to visit. There is a restaurant connected to the hotel which offers a large menu of Thai food to choose from. Staff are friendly and helpful.

After I had booked, I found some horror stories of rude staff, mosquitos, no beach, bad food and stray cats. I was very apprehensive but, there were none of these at all! We did a six week tour of Phuket, the area around Krabi, two islands and back to Phuket. Our average cost per night was £45 so, staying at The Thip for six nights, helped pay some more expensive hotels. We stayed in 13 hotels or apartments and enjoyed every one. The garden and pool area at the Thip was one of the best (could have a few more sun beds and mattresses - but we always found one). It was a short walk up the road to the beach and the Andamana Beach club, but I loved both. The sand might not be the softest, but, it is certain to be crowd-free and, the shallow sea was so warm and clean. We only had fruit shakes at the beach club but I expect their food would be good. We later found out that, if you set out at low tide, you can go across the road from the Thip and walk up the shoreline - much better but, you might have to leave early. We didn't hire a bike but went into Ao Nang a few times and loved the trip to Railay. As we were leaving, I noticed that there were quite a few places about a mile away (near the Tesco Lotus) that I would have liked to have checked out - including a shop that sold silk (beam me back please). We had some very good meals at the Thip - barbecued prawns were brilliant and we also ate at Chilli Pepper down the road You don't have to have the chili there - lovely people will cook just how you like it. They will at the Thip too and, one of the loveliest people I met at all the places we stayed was (at the Thip), the largish lady with the big, kind smile caled On. When we arrived, we had been allocated a room on the second floor (in Thailand they call that the 3rd) but On suggested that we might prefer just one flight of stairs (cos of other half) so we started in a room at the front and, we found that the beds at the Thip are a lot more comfortable than a lot in Thailand. Advantage of being at the front: you get sun on the balcony in the evenings and in the mornings and can see if the tide is in or out - disadvantage: the traffic on road ouside, mostly bikes that can be so loud but, they do dissapear later so you can sleep fine. After a few nights, we asked On and were given a room on the other side. Much quieter - but no sun. Hey ho. Looking back on our holiday, I loved moving about and, for us, the ideal stay (in most places) would be four nights. I am pleased to see there are more good reviews for the Thip - we recommend!

Excellent location and staff were very friendly and helpful to assist with how to get to places. Booked 7 island boat trip and saved 1800 bht booking through the hotel. Hired a scooter for the day through the hotel @ 250 bht with 7 hours traveling around spent 200 bht on fuel to see beautiful places around the island.

We stayed here for 2 weeks at the end of January and it was our second visit after a brief stay last year. I really like this place; it has a nice chilled out vibe, with friendly, smiling staff. The room was comfortable and large, with all the required amenities; a/c, fridge, safe, kettle, hot shower with good water pressure. If you are B&B there is a good choice of set breakfasts and I also recommend the restaurant for evening meals (Thai, pizza & pasta). They also provide pool towels & beach mats, plus you can hire a scooter directly through them. We also had the on site massage which was great. This hotel is located in Ao Nam Mao which is only a small village and quiet at night. Apart from the hotel the only other restaurant that serves alcohol is the Red Chilli around the corner which cooks up excellent Thai food at a bargain price. There are also a few local Muslim eateries that do cheap snacks and nice shakes, as well as a 24 hour supermarket. The pier is nearby to get to Railey beach. The local beach is a long narrow strip that is beautiful to walk with views out to the islands. There is also a beach club nearby with hammocks & bean bags to lounge about in. For night life Ao Nang is about 10 minutes bus ride away. A late night return tuk tuk is only 200 baht. The hotel arranged airport transfers for us at 600 baht each way, they also organise ferry tickets if required. Nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay, so a big thank you to Ju and her team x.
