We stayed in a Grand Delux Bungalow and it was perfect. Good size room, clean bathroom but the rooftop terrace with deck chairs made it very special! Staff were very friendly and just wished we had booked for longer!

Lovely, quiet place to stay in Railay Beach. Up the hill from the main road so it feels removed and peaceful overlooking the ocean with beautiful views of the surrounding cliffs. Good food and drink options right on site. Small but refreshing pool. Very nice staff. Will definitely stay again in the future. Be aware it is cash only.

This is a beautiful site that feels natural and authentic. We had a private room and bathroom with air-conditioning. The rooftop balcony had great views. The food was some of the best we ate in Krabi and Bangkok. I'm so glad for this experience of Thailand vs a typical resort that could be on any beach. There were steps and an uphill climb to the room, so it could be challenging for some.

Lovely, affordable place to stay, particularly if you're looking for best comfort for value. Not a fancy high-end resort, but rooms are very comfortable, clean and well-designed (we were in the Grand Deluxe Bungalow), and staff are friendly and attentive. Bonus for the two cute resort puppies!

Such a serene place, just generally just has the nicest relaxed antmosphere and the staff are so so sweet! The rooms are lovely and very clean. Probably one of my favourite places I have stayed at, can’t recommend enough. Love the rooftop balconies looking out to the mountain faces.

The best staff we’ve encountered so far in Thailand - such nice people! They were very accommodating for checking in and out as well. Their restaurant and dining area was wonderful to eat and hang out in. We loved the room, private and modern. All around would recommend!

The staff were nice! But the property is best fit for a very cheap stay for young people looking to explore or budget vacations.
I liked the place well enough however I didn’t expect the the massive flight of stairs you had to climb, the tiny shower, or the bungalow I stayed in to have holes you can see day light through. The pool is quite small too BUT the staff is great and all in all I never intended to stay a lot of time at the resort anyway. It was good enough to sleep in.

The staff and restaurant were excellent. The rooms, however, were less than comfortable. While most beds in Thailand are hard, this hotel had the hardest by far. I was physically in pain from sleeping on them. Also, the mosquito nets and hammocks were so mildewed they were unusable. Lastly, my niece had a resident mouse in her room.

I always love staying at Rapala. It's the only authentic bungalow you can find in Railay and also the cheapest accommodation you can find there. Railay is generally very expensive compared to the rest of Krabi so if you are on a budget this definitely is the place to stay especially if you want something more unique than a standard hotel room.
You get a hammock all to yourself on the balcony (almost no where else provides this in the area), the place even has a small swimming pool. The aircon room also comes with a kettle and coffee, soap and shampoo and a hair dryer. Pretty decent for what you pay.
Things to consider - it's a traditional bungalow set in a jungle like setting so, expect bugs. There is a relatively large staircase to get up to the place so it is not for the mobility challenged.
Will definitely be back.

Ants! I had ants crawling all over my toothbrush. It would be nice if they could control the pests. Otherwise, the room was nice. Its located on a somewhat "low rent" district of Railay but nothing is far of a walk. Just be aware that you need to climb a few flights of stairs to get up there (53 steps). Luckily they have a handy funicular to carry your bags up. Reception hours are limited to 8a-8p so plan accordingly. Because it's on the east side you need to walk to the west side for sunset views. Also the beach on this side has a really impactful tide so at low tide its like a giant mud field and not very 'vibey'.
