About

Cat Bungalow

Cat Bungalow sits on Koh Lanta’s west coast, a short walk from Klong Khong Beach and close to restaurants and shops. The property offers a mix of standard rooms and bungalows, set around a garden with a terrace and picnic area. It’s a no-frills stay that earns consistently high marks from guests for its welcoming atmosphere and location.

The guest house is run by a small team that guests repeatedly describe as warm and helpful. The property includes free parking, a buffet breakfast, and scooter rental on site, making it easy to explore the island. While the rooms are simple, they’re kept clean and offer either air conditioning or a fan, depending on the room type.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Exceptionally welcoming staff — Owners Oi and Nui, along with the team, are repeatedly described as warm, friendly, and helpful. They’ve picked guests up from the pier, arranged scooter rentals, and provided bikes for exploring.
  • Great location near Klong Khong Beach — A 5-minute walk to Klong Khong Beach, with restaurants, a 7/11, and other conveniences close by. Old Town and the national park are also within easy reach.
  • Strong value for money — With free breakfast, parking, and competitive rates from £54, guests consistently rate the value highly, noting the simple but clean and comfortable rooms.
  • Clean and well-kept rooms — Guests frequently mention the rooms being clean, tidy, and sometimes recently renovated, with hot showers and comfortable beds.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 19:00. If you arrive later, you’ll need to coordinate with the staff, as the reception isn’t staffed around the clock for check-in.
  • Simple, no-frills rooms — Rooms are basic by design – some are fan-only, and the standard double with a fan lacks air conditioning. The description notes simple bungalow accommodation.
  • Pets not allowed — The property does not permit pets, so if you’re traveling with a dog or cat, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
  • Potential street noise in some rooms — At least one guest noted that their double room faced the street, which could be less quiet than garden-view options.
