Lanta Ray Bay Hotel

Beautiful room with a very nice view, receptionist Soa was very friendly and welcoming, and assisted us when needed.

I came to stay at Rat Bay Hotel in Koh Lanta with my partner. The hotel is in a perfect location, being close to the beach and plenty of restaurants and services nearby such as laundry, bike rental etc. Very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious, clean rooms with comfortable beds. We actually rebooked to stay here again and all rooms that we stayed in were comfortable and as described. water and toilet paper supplied on a daily basis. We really enjoyed our time here and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Koh Lanta.

Breakfast could be improved, pancakes and watermelon and scrambled egg were enjoyable but it was the same every day so we did look elsewhere to eat.

Lovely room. Location was good for visiting the island. Free breakfast was a nice touch

All good

The room was overall clean and spacious. The staff was nice and helpful, they called us a taxi from the hotel to the pier on the day of our check-out, we had to leave really early in the morning. The hotel is very close to the beach and there are many restaurants, bars etc. around. The cleaning ladies came to the room every day but usually around noon or in the afternoon and we were in the room at that time so we had to ask them to wait until we leave.

Definitely looks much better on the pictures than it actually is. The furniture is very dated and the blanket cover had like three holes in it. The surrounding of the hotel is not very nice, we had a view at really old and poor building next door which was very close so we kind of had to keep the curtains shut most of the time. The building of the hotel seems very old and definitely needs some reconstruction. However the terraces are nice and there is definitely some potential to make very nice hotel out of it. The stay includes breakfast but we went there just once of our three mornings, they serve it in a hall which doesn't seem to be quite clean and there is not much variety of the food.

Location was close to the beach and many stores and restaurants. Breakfast was included.

The hotel needs some upgrades, and the standard room & bathroom were small. Close to main street that runs along the coast, so very noisy at times. Expensive for what you get, but prices are higher in 2025.

A spacious well air conditioned room with a comfortable bed. Nice pool.

The rooms are very close together around the pool area giving very little privacy. At the time we stayed there were a lot of families with young children so there was quite a lot of noise around the poolside rooms… just an observation.

Very good hotel in the best spot of Lanta. Room was spacious and comfortable, cleaned everyday. Great breakfast with decent options. Staff is super welcoming and they can help you with any tour bookings you may need. The location is the best - close to 7-11, restaurants and the beach (of of the best in Koh Lanta, in our opinion). Tip: go to Rasta Baby restaurant at the beach!! We simply loved our time there.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Nice and friendly family owned Hotell. Basic standard to a great price.

Close to the road gave some disturbing sound.

Very cosy, the hotel has a homely atmosphere that revolves around the main manager Naam. She is very nice, helpful, always smiling. She can arrange every conceivable activity on Lanta at reasonable prices, including transport, laundry, whatever you need. Just ask her. If you don't like her offer and have another one, it doesn't matter. The hotel is beautifully clean, the air conditioning is working. I also appreciated the breakfast combining continental and excellent Thai food, which we enjoyed very much. One of the best on Lanta is also the local beach Klong Nin within walking distance of about 150m. There is an ATM right in the reception and another one around the corner. This is because everywhere, except the shop, you have to pay in cash. You can also pay by card in the hotel, but with an extra 3% surcharge (to cover bank charges). There is also a gym in the hotel, full of trophies from the local club Ray Bay United. Just great. The best rooms are at the back facing away from the street. There is more space and quiet, the street is busier. There is a shop, pharmacy, massage and a number of restaurants and fruit shops nearby.

The only minor complaint I would have is the lack of one smaller and softer pillow, but that is just a detail due to my personal preference.

They offered us free breakfast, so kind of them. Very helpful staff. Close to 7/11 and small restaurants. Good location.

Originally booked for 1 night and ended up staying for 4! The staff were just the best! Went above and beyond anything we needed they were there to help. Rooms were clean and comfortable, good value for money in a good location couldn’t ask for anything else. Thanks so much to Nam and the other staff members we will definitely be back next year!

It’s an unpretentious excellent value budget hotel with friendly helpful staff. I scored it so highly because when I carelessly left my Amazon Kindle behind it was delivered to my next resort before I had even missed it,honesty & customer service of exceptional quality

I prefer to be on the beach though it’s only 100 metres away

This hotel was amazing, extremely clean and the staff are so friendly and helpful. One staff member in particular, we think her name is Nam, she was so kind and helpful helping us rent a motorbike and even booking our transfer to Krabi, she was amazing! We have been backpacking south east Asia for 2 months now and this was by far the most comfortable bed we slept in too!

Close to the beach, just few minutes. Friendly and useful staff.

There is no elevator, it is difficult with suitcases. The rooms are of poor quality, the furniture is old. There is no chair in the room to sit or put things on. I found a completely torn curtain (it was replaced at my request). The room is full of ants along the wall, they go everywhere, in personal belongings, it is impossible to leave any food. In the morning from 5 am the chickens start crowing loudly, it is impossible to sleep.The pillows were too big and hard, I asked to change them, my neck was broken after first night.

Great staff, amazing location and beautiful people ! Beds were really comfortable!

The staff was very friendly, polite, and helpful. When we arrived they were ready to grill fresh caught fish for us. The small reception garden area is beautiful.It is on the road about a thirty second walk from the north side of the beach. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby.Conveniently, there is a kiosk in front to help arrange transport or excursions.

Our room was facing a big intersection that had trucks and motorbikes making loud noises which woke us up every morning around 7am. Besides that, the hotel was fantastic.

Close to the see

Family room was actually dirty. We had to change to 2 separate rooms that was sufficiently clean.

Its close to the beach and kind of in the middle of the island

Breakfast wasn't always stocked up

Great price. Close to beach, restaurants, 7/11. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I forgot my bag and they were kind enough to bring it for me. Breakfast is good.

Wifi connection is bad. Hair dryer isn’t good.They don’t have shampoo and body wash so bring your own. If you’re on budget don’t book island tour or speedboat from hotel as it is a bit expensive here so try to go nearby tour agent and they’ll give you 200-500 bhat discount.

The room was clean and the hotel is a 5 min walk from the beach, friendly staff who let us check in early

The breakfast was kind of basic but still good & the gym was a bit too hot due to lack of aircon however these are only minor things!
