Good View Resort

Good View Resort lives up to its name with a countryside setting along Rural Road in Koh Chang. This 2.5-star property puts you away from the main tourist strips, giving you a more authentic island experience where you can actually hear the birds instead of motorbikes at dawn.

What makes this place stand out is the combination of outdoor activities and proper dining facilities on-site. You’re not stuck with just a mini-fridge and instant noodles here – there’s an actual dining area plus kitchen facilities when you want to prep your own meals. The resort also welcomes pets, which is surprisingly rare for Koh Chang accommodations, making it perfect for travelers who can’t leave their furry friends behind.

Insider Tip: Check-in ends at 20:00, which is earlier than many places. If you’re arriving on a late ferry, call ahead to arrange late arrival – don’t assume someone will be at reception after 8 PM.

Budget travelers and families will find solid value here, backed by consistently good ratings (8.5/10 on Agoda from 141 reviews, 8.0/10 on Booking.com). At $23/night, you’re getting more amenities than most guesthouses at this price point. The 2.5-star rating sets realistic expectations – think clean and comfortable rather than luxury. The rural location means you’ll need transport to reach beaches and nightlife, so factor in those costs if you don’t have your own wheels.

The $23 starting rate positions Good View Resort as excellent value for Koh Chang, especially considering the kitchen facilities and pet policy. While the rural setting means you’re not walking to beaches, it’s perfect for exploring the island’s interior attractions and national park areas with a rental bike or car.
