At The Yama Hotel Phuket, reviewers consistently praise friendly staff, spacious rooms, a clean modern feel, and a relaxing pool with helpful beach shuttles, while noting the hillside location is quiet but far from shops and beaches.
Breakfast and the on-site restaurant receive many positive comments, though some mention inconsistent quality or slow service. Cleanliness is generally good, but a few guests reported housekeeping lapses and occasional pests. Rooms are large and comfortable with nice showers and views, but some are basic or a bit dated, and road-facing units can be noisy. Overall, expect a good-value, quiet stay if you plan around the shuttle schedule.

Facilities
The pool, bar, and on-site spa and gym are appreciated, and the free shuttle to Kata Beach is helpful. However, the shuttle runs infrequently and ends early, so beach time and evenings require planning.

It’s a really good value option for people who appreciate the trappings of a 4 star hotel and can manage without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the beach. They offered free shuttles to and from the beach every 2 hours, and if we wanted to go outside these times the cost of a Grab (Asian version of Uber) or a regular taxi was 200-300 baht. The hotel itself is clean, reasonably modern, the pool and bar area very pleasant. They could do with a few more beach loungers, that would be my only criticism. Reception staff were extremely efficient and helpful especially with organising tours. Breakfast had something for everyone. There were Thai options (I loved having curries for breakfast!) as well as western foods and an egg station. There is a convenience store and laundry directly outside the gate, and I recommend the food at the shack next door- delicious! I would stay here again, no doubt. Thanks Yama!

The hotel was very nice and clean. The pool was a nice amenity to have while there. The hotel had free shuttle to the Kata beach which very nice to have but we had to schedule in advanced. The down side for this that we couldn't stay at Kata beach longer if we wanted.

Fantastic value for the money. Room is spacious and clean, bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is amazing, with a rain shower head and toilet in a separate room. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The pool area is very nice and the bar area is great, with decent cocktail prices. The food is also really good. They have a great scooter hire available through a nearby vendor with quality bikes at a good price. Area is nice, but you do need a scooter if you don't want to be spending money on Grabs. The shuttle bus to the beach is good, but relatively infrequent. Overall, fantastic value for money

Auch hier war es so, dass wir für drei Personen bezahlt haben, aber es kein weiteres Bett gegeben hat. Das Kind musste auf einem kurzen Sofa schlafen, obwohl wir einen vollen Preis für das Kind bezahlt haben. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und gut. Ebenso war der Pool beziehungsweise die Poolanlage sehr angenehm.

The Yama Hotel is located not far from hustle bustle tourist area however it is far enough to be quiet and relaxing as it is tucked in the mountain side. We enjoyed 7 nights and 8 days, staff was extremely nice and helpful, especially Spy, Tong, Khom and Nate, very polite and helpful. We enjoyed the fully airconditioning, clean room, house kept every day - cleaner cleaned every day very good. Then we enjoyed swimming in their pool every night, relaxing in the spa as well as having cocktails. They have happy hour for cocktails and juices oh boy they were delicious. Our room had 180 degree mountain view and ocean view- although it faces highway, we loved the room because of the amazing view and we could watch what is happening on the street at the same time. If I ever go to Thailand we will only be staying at Yama hotel. It really impressed us, thank you to everyone who works at Yama.

What a wonderful hotel. I’d give The Yama Hotel 10 Stars if possible. The staff were excellent! Tong, Joshua, Mint at the front desk, the entire staff at the restaurant, and the cleaners who did the rooms were all absolutely wonderful. The staff was super friendly, professional, and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent! Great variety, healthy choices, great coffee, tea, etc…. and the service was amazing. The pool was lovely. Very clean. Perfect after a day at the beach or walking. Lots of lounge pool An exercise room that is perfect for a quick workout. Dumbbells, treadmills, and equipment that all worked. There’s a spa on the premises if you go for that. The hotel restaurant offers excellent food for about the same price as you’d pay outside. The food was delicious and the fruit smoothies were excellent. It’s about a 1 mile walk to Kata Beach or you can take any of their many daily free shuttles down to or back from the beach. Call front desk to reserve your spot. Kata Beach lounge chairs & umbrellas can be rented for 100 TB for 2 people. The beach guys will try to charge you more, but bargain. 50 TB for fresh, chilled coconut on the beach. Lovely beach & great way to spend an afternoon or evening. Watch the sun. It’ll getcha. The rooms in this hotel were large, immaculately clean, and stocked with goodies you might want to eat. Bottled water is replenished each day. There’s a combo safe in the room. Balconies overlook the beautiful pool.

This hotel was promoted as having parking available, be careful especially during high season as there are probably not more than 12 parking spots and the hotel is located in a very small Soi (street) where there is no on road parking. Access to Kata beach is very limited as the hotel shuttle only runs every two hours and does not run after 6:30pm. The beaches are not walking distance.

Scenic property in the hills of Phuket, nice and quiet and very much out of the way of the busy streets, however it's very far out if you plan to go into the main areas such as patong etc. We booked a swim up room which is cool to have direct access to the pool... But the room itself is very very basic. No luxuries at all, we even found a roach in our room on the first and last night of our stay. Bathroom interior is very dark considering the hotel is very bright and airy. The hotel does offer a shuttle service down to the beach which is very handy. The lobby of the hotel is beautiful and the staff are pretty friendly. Gym is pretty decent too and it's 24 hours. A decent stay overall but room amenities could be dramatically improved.

The hotel area and room were fine with modern touch and all the required amenities. Parking spots were available for car and mc. The breakfast is good and normal for Phuket standard, but the chicken in the rice soup should have been cooked properly (still raw'ish). The service was available and fast, but they should have asked, if we have had a pleasant stay at checkout. The cleaning was really not good. Lime scale not being removed from shower area. Hair felt out when trying to adjust the sheets on the side of the bed. Nasty stains in curtains to the toilet and sofa. We even caught a living cockroch (have a video), but maybe this was a rare coincidence.

Wir waren 3 Nächte im Yama Hotel und alles in allem war es sehr gut. Das Personal ist super freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend, dies gilt für alle Angestellten! Die Zimmer sind schön und bieten alles was man braucht. Einzig die Lage ist etwas außerhalb gelegen und die Zimmer zur Straße sind nachts nicht komplett ruhig. Das wussten wir aber vorher schon und war für uns daher kein Problem. Toll ist die Poolanlage mit Blick über die Stadt und zum Meer. Ich würde dieses Hotel jedem weiterempfehlen und würde auch jederzeit wieder kommen! Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. The pool area is very nice and the bar area is great, with decent cocktail prices. The food is also really good.

The shuttle bus to the beach is good, but relatively infrequent. Overall, fantastic value for money

**Second Time’s the Charm at The Yama Hotel!** As a single dad traveling with my two young teen sons, finding a comfortable and family-friendly hotel is always a priority, and The Yama Hotel has delivered on both our visits! From the warm welcome at check-in to the excellent service at the restaurant and pool bar, every aspect of our stay was a pleasure. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a cozy bathtub and a large rain shower in the bathroom. It came with all the standard amenities, like coffee and tea, two complimentary water bottles daily, and quality toiletries. While the hotel isn’t directly on the beach, the views more than made up for it—we had a stunning combination of ocean and jungle scenery. The AC kept us cool, the Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, and though we didn’t watch much TV, the cable channels were a nice touch. The included breakfast buffet was perfect for us. My sons and I aren’t picky eaters, and we loved the variety, from classic breakfast staples to local dishes, fresh fruits, a salad bar, refreshing juices, and a variety of coffee drinks to start the day right. The friendly and attentive restaurant staff made every meal even more enjoyable. Additionally, the hotel provided a shuttle bus to Kata Beach, which was incredibly convenient and made it easy for us to enjoy the sand and sea. I would recommend The Yama Hotel to anyone, whether traveling with kids, as a couple, or even solo. We’re already looking forward to our next stay
**Second Time’s the Charm at The Yama Hotel!** As a single dad traveling with my two young teen sons, finding a comfortable and family-friendly hotel is always a priority, and The Yama Hotel has delivered on both our visits! From the warm welcome at check-in to the excellent service at the restaurant and pool bar, every aspect of our stay was a pleasure. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a cozy bathtub and a large rain shower in the bathroom. It came with all the standard amenities, like coffee and tea, two complimentary water bottles daily, and quality toiletries. While the hotel isn’t directly on the beach, the views more than made up for it—we had a stunning combination of ocean and jungle scenery. The AC kept us cool, the Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, and though we didn’t watch much TV, the cable channels were a nice touch. The included breakfast buffet was perfect for us. My sons and I aren’t picky eaters, and we loved the variety, from classic breakfast staples to local dishes, fresh fruits, a salad bar, refreshing juices, and a variety of coffee drinks to start the day right. The friendly and attentive restaurant staff made every meal even more enjoyable.

Staffs are friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and clean. Also, it separates the bathroom and toilet, which is quite good! The view outside the balcony is stunning with the sunset. However, the location is a bit far from the stores and restaurants. You might find that inconvenient if you don’t rent a motorbike. Overall, I rated it 4/5 scores as it is still a comfortable hotel, which I may revisit in the future.

What a wonderful hotel. I’d give The Yama Hotel 10 Stars if possible. The staff were excellent! Tong, Joshua, Mint at the front desk, the entire staff at the restaurant, and the cleaners who did the rooms were all absolutely wonderful. The staff was super friendly, professional, and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent! Great variety, healthy choices, great coffee, tea, etc…. and the service was amazing. The pool was lovely. Very clean. Perfect after a day at the beach or walking. Lots of lounge pool An exercise room that is perfect for a quick workout. Dumbbells, treadmills, and equipment that all worked. There’s a spa on the premises if you go for that. The hotel restaurant offers excellent food for about the same price as you’d pay outside. The food was delicious and the fruit smoothies were excellent. It’s about a 1 mile walk to Kata Beach or you can take any of their many daily free shuttles down to or back from the beach. Call front desk to reserve your spot. Kata Beach lounge chairs & umbrellas can be rented for 100 TB for 2 people. The beach guys will try to charge you more, but bargain. 50 TB for fresh, chilled coconut on the beach. Lovely beach & great way to spend an afternoon or evening. Watch the sun. It’ll getcha. The rooms in this hotel were large, immaculately clean, and stocked with goodies you might want to eat. Bottled water is replenished each day. There’s a combo safe in the room. Balconies overlook the beautiful pool.

Abbiamo soggiornato in quest' albergo per 4 notti. La stanza è molto grande e luminosa. Il personale, sia della sala da pranzo che della reception, è molto collaborativo e gentile. Abbiamo cenato sempre in albergo perché la cucina è davvero TOP. La carne si scioglieva in bocca, buonissima. Qualità prezzo ottimo. Ho usufruito anche dei massaggi della zona wellness e devo fare i complimenti alla signora che li fa, davvero brava. Albergo che consiglio.

Scenic property in the hills of Phuket, nice and quiet and very much out of the way of the busy streets, however it's very far out if you plan to go into the main areas such as patong etc. We booked a swim up room which is cool to have direct access to the pool... But the room itself is very very basic. No luxuries at all, we even found a roach in our room on the first and last night of our stay. Bathroom interior is very dark considering the hotel is very bright and airy. The hotel does offer a shuttle service down to the beach which is very handy. The lobby of the hotel is beautiful and the staff are pretty friendly. Gym is pretty decent too and it's 24 hours. A decent stay overall but room amenities could be dramatically improved.

This is a very nice hotel with a beautiful pool and lovely rooms. The beds are incredible with sheets so soft you melt into them. Breakfast was great!! Lots of different options both Western to Eastern. Great location in the mountains and a shuttle to the beach that runs often. No sun in the pool area before noon (January) I was going to give five stars but they were three hours late to have a room ready and would not let us do a late check out as somebody was coming for the room. We were only asking for an extra hour. I guess the next guests were more important than us.

The Yama Hotel is located not far from hustle bustle tourist area however it is far enough to be quiet and relaxing as it is tucked in the mountain side. We enjoyed 7 nights and 8 days, staff was extremely nice and helpful, especially Spy, Tong, Khom and Nate, very polite and helpful. We enjoyed the fully airconditioning, clean room, house kept every day - cleaner cleaned every day very good. Then we enjoyed swimming in their pool every night, relaxing in the spa as well as having cocktails. They have happy hour for cocktails and juices oh boy they were delicious. Our room had 180 degree mountain view and ocean view- although it faces highway, we loved the room because of the amazing view and we could watch what is happening on the street at the same time. If I ever go to Thailand we will only be staying at Yama hotel. It really impressed us, thank you to everyone who works at Yama.

This hotel was promoted as having parking available, be careful especially during high season as there are probably not more than 12 parking spots and the hotel is located in a very small Soi (street) where there is no on road parking. Access to Kata beach is very limited as the hotel shuttle only runs every two hours and does not run after 6:30pm. The beaches are not walking distance.

Fantastic value for the money. Room is spacious and clean, bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is amazing, with a rain shower head and toilet in a separate room. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The pool area is very nice and the bar area is great, with decent cocktail prices. The food is also really good. They have a great scooter hire available through a nearby vendor with quality bikes at a good price. Area is nice, but you do need a scooter if you don't want to be spending money on Grabs. The shuttle bus to the beach is good, but relatively infrequent. Overall, fantastic value for money

What a wonderful hotel. I’d give The Yama Hotel 10 Stars if possible. The staff were excellent! Tong, Joshua, Mint at the front desk, the entire staff at the restaurant, and the cleaners who did the rooms were all absolutely wonderful. The staff was super friendly, professional, and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent! Great variety, healthy choices, great coffee, tea, etc…. and the service was amazing. The pool was lovely. Very clean. Perfect after a day at the beach or walking. Lots of lounge pool An exercise room that is perfect for a quick workout. Dumbbells, treadmills, and equipment that all worked. There’s a spa on the premises if you go for that. The hotel restaurant offers excellent food for about the same price as you’d pay outside. The food was delicious and the fruit smoothies were excellent. It’s about a 1 mile walk to Kata Beach or you can take any of their many daily free shuttles down to or back from the beach. Call front desk to reserve your spot. Kata Beach lounge chairs & umbrellas can be rented for 100 TB for 2 people. The beach guys will try to charge you more, but bargain. 50 TB for fresh, chilled coconut on the beach. Lovely beach & great way to spend an afternoon or evening. Watch the sun. It’ll getcha. The rooms in this hotel were large, immaculately clean, and stocked with goodies you might want to eat. Bottled water is replenished each day. There’s a combo safe in the room. Balconies overlook the beautiful pool.

Bottled water is replenished each day. There’s a combo safe in the room. Balconies overlook the beautiful pool.

Abbiamo soggiornato in quest' albergo per 4 notti. La stanza è molto grande e luminosa. Il personale, sia della sala da pranzo che della reception, è molto collaborativo e gentile. Abbiamo cenato sempre in albergo perché la cucina è davvero TOP. La carne si scioglieva in bocca, buonissima. Qualità prezzo ottimo. Ho usufruito anche dei massaggi della zona wellness e devo fare i complimenti alla signora che li fa, davvero brava. Albergo che consiglio.

The Yama hotel was a great stop in Phuket for my wife and I. Hotel was quiet, had a nice pool area and was peaceful. It’s a bit out of the busier beach areas but not far away. Easy grab ride to those things.

A beautiful and impressive hotel. The rooms are very spacious and fully equipped. The facilities are endless, and there are plenty of bars, shops and restaurants in the surrounding area.

The room was beautiful, nice pool. The only downside for me was that it felt secluded. Other than that it was a great facility with great staff.
