Serene Resort Lipe

Fits the basic need of a traveling couple. A little pricey for a room for 2 but I suppose the rooms on Koh Lipe Walking street are on the steep side. My only grouch was that there was so many mosquitoes which came from the bathroom. I couldn’t figure out from where they came as there was no window.

The staff were friendly. The location was good, along walking street. The room was quite spacious. Enough space to add an extra mattress and 3 luggages. Bed was comfy. Had tv but all thai channels. Bathroom was ok size. Hot water shower. Water pressure was good as well. We had some chairs and a table outside our room which was good for us to relax outside. Only major problem is the mosquitoes. But that’s obviously not the hotel’s fault. Overall was a great stay. Would definitely recommend and come back.

Good things: AC, close to many shops and restaurants Bad things: still hot often as AC position was poor making it hard to cool the bed area; loud music from bar across the street until 1 or 2am; very hard, uncomfortable bed (even by Thai standards); lady who ran the place was dishonest, telling us multiple lies

Very clean and nice looking hotel right on walking street. Everything thing is right there, including restaurants, shopping, bars, 7-11 and even a small hospital. Tons of massage places up and down walking street. By far, Sunrise Beach is the nicest for swimming and lounging and only a 5 minute walk. Had a couple mosquitos in the room but I carry a can of spray with me. I sprayed and went out to eat. When I came back it was safe for the rest of the trip. They need to work on more water pressure. Without water pressure, the water heaters don’t work properly.

A bit of a beach smell in the room. Shower not working so eventually the staff/owner upgraded us to another room. The upgraded room is good, nice and comfy! Hotel located in within the street, convenient for food and shopping. It's a small island anyway, street end to end is a short walking distance.

Serene (pronounced 'say-rey-ney') is a very comfortable guesthouse situated smacked in the middle of Walking Street, Koh Lipe's main vein. What I like the most about our room (Family room) is the position; We open the door and we are already at the Walking Street. And there's a 100 baht (USD3) cocktail bar right next to our room. Pattaya Beach and Sunrise Beach is just 3 minutes walk, while the Sunset Beach is about 10 minutes walk. Best location so far. I'd love to stay here again on my next visit.

Very nice hotel,the local staff very helpful and hospitaility.room are clean but only problem about the water come very less and slow (simple case of the problem on islands)The location in the middle of walking street ,easy to take or buy some thing as you wish ,but not next to the sea ,walking to the beach about 3-5 minute.shopping good .close to the tour office to contact everything that you want,and the price is very reisenable

Overall not bad, simple and minimalist.

my boyfriend and I spent a week at Serene Resort Lipe. located right in the middle of walking street, easy to get to everywhere and 5 mins by foot to the beach. really friendly staff and their Boss was very polite and warm. the place had their own food stall outside, had very good phad thai and other local dishes at very reasonable prices. The wifi in the rooms were only averagely good, but didn't bother us too much. Bathrooms were small but clean and new. a great place to stay if you are travelling on budget.

Location is excellent, in the middle of walking street. Room was great, clean & simple. Wi-Fi speed not bad. Can watch movie. Owner & staff are helpful, friendly & will not drag people for spend in their resort. Water flowing slow, but at least with hot water. No kettle, difficult to get boil water, have to get from 7-11.

1. Water pressure from heater is very low; 2. All water supply with bad smell like rust; 3. Bathroom is really dirty like never been clean, toilet bowl and walls were stained and cover with mould; 4. Room was too small for 2 people; 5. 3 of the 4 light bulbs were not function, including the toilet bulb, the staff is only replace a new bulb for the toilet but left the room remain dark, then I found he left me the dirt on wash basin drop from his shoes; 6. The most disgusting is that the blanket is full of sand, sand falls on my body when I cover with it. I had 2 night stay in another home stay with the same price before this, the conditions is much more better than this. I'm so regret to trust Agoda's rating.

The pluses, owner is very friendly and accommodating. We borrowed a universal plug with no questions and no deposit asked. The minus, the bathroom is however a bit cramp and dark due to the decoration or lack of. The tap water has a funny taste when used to brush teeth.

The location was perfect because it was in the walking street where all the restorants and shops were, and also at a walking distance from the best beach in koh lipe, sunrise beach. The owner was very nice too, willing to help any time you ask.

Nice stay at here on April 2015. Staff is nice and he know English and Hokkien language besides Thai, so there is no communication problem for us. All is good except toilet condition, smelly and will be flooded after every bath. Located near bar, but can request a room far away from it, so that you will had a quiet night. Quite overprice. Recommended in term of nice staff and room condition. Not recommended in term of toilet cleanliness.

Quite good. The boss of the guest house is very kind and helpful. Speak good Hokkien, and English. It feel like home, staying there. The guest house locate in the middle of Lipe, as well as middle of walking street. I think it is very suitable for one seeking simple and value to money for a few nights of comfortable stay. It is definitely suitable for middle income family, student, or anybody who is seeking for affordable B&B. Please do not expect luxury in this resort because the management of the place didn't aim to be one. It is 4.5 star out of 5 in its category as backpacker B&B. I minus 0.5 because i think it will be even better if the price can be brought down a little.

not worth the money paid. in the room was smell of canalization from bathroom. the room was not cleaned for all 3 days of our stay. right near the hotel, close to the rooms situated night cocktail bar ( working till 1 am). so, be ready not to sleep before 1 am. right after check in (when i looked in my room before give my passport to register us) hotels stuff came into my room and spray a lot of repellent (or whatever smelly) ....and this smell was in my room whole the day.. i dont know why they are doing that ( but i was very angry because of this occasion). all in all, i would not stay there again ( although, ko lipe resorts are all more expensive)

I stayed at Serene Resort Lipe last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was comfortable with great bed and bathroom. The owner was my favourite part of my stay as after a long day diving, he invited me to his table and shared some of his delicious dinner and beer with me! Excellent choice.

It was a great experience, owner was friendly. We could access WiFi near the Front Office. (Wish we could access at our rooms) Anyway, it would be better if Serene provided kettle so that we could have hot water for coffee or tea. We had to go at Front Office to get hot water. Overall, the experience was joyful and had lots of fun.

we paid a bit more for one of the fancier wooden ensuite rooms (not the bamboo huts!) and it was well worth it after a day of diving and snorkeling. Koh Lipe has an excellent night life so the hotel location at the heart of the shopping street was perfect.

Nothing that impressive as you have the Bamboo Hut, that's. The environment is not very clean, noisy neighbour (if you don't like party) For budget travellers, I'd recommend no booking, there are plenty guesthouses at Pattaya Beach. Walk in and see which you like before you pay. The hotel owner looks friendly though.
