Good location, but lacking elsewhere.
Room: mould on shower wall, wall fixing for shower head unsecured (resulting in the hose firing off water uncontrollably around the shower room!), holes in the bed sheet, no hair-dryer, no iron (not even on request).

Nice hotel for the price
This is a nice hotel, since we had a car, we could stay at this hotel, which is not near the beach. Instead we drove to different beaches and waterfalls for variety. White Sand beach was the best for us.

Great Location & Breakfast Buffet
Stayed here 9 nights in early February for a scuba diving vacation. Great location on the highway, where there are many good restaurants, bars, laundry, pharmacy, food mart, 7-11, massage, etc... there is a currency conversion booth next door that gives a great rate of USD to THB of 98.7%. Also very close to the main road that runs to the beach, where most dive shops are located, plus most great restaurants, bars, massage and souvenir shops are located. Compared to Patang / Karon / Kata this area is far more rural and quiet... a very laid back atmosphere that I enjoyed much more than last year down south. Motive: clean comfortable bed and pillows, extra towels provided upon request, prompt maid service. But what I liked best was the breakfast buffet, awesome. Each morning a different combination of rice and noodle dishes. Never had the same dish twice. Kudos to the cook. Eggs made to order by the chef, served with bacon. Fresh watermelon and pineapple. Toast machine. Milk & cereal. Great coffee. Orange juice. Outside dining in a nice covered patio area. Will definitely book here again when I come back.

Great Budget Accomodation
Overall, a great budget hotel if you are looking to be out and explore everyday instead of staying in. Located right across the street (very dangerous to cross as it has no pedestrian lights) from the street market, convenient stores and massage, and ~10 min walk from the beach. The hotel itself is very standard with close to no amenities. There is a small pool but I never used it and they serve daily breakfast buffet, though I believe there is a fee. The room is spacious and the air conditioning was 100% functional which is essential in the hot weather. I can't vouch for the cleanliness - there were spider webs in literally every corner in the room, and my bed sheets seemed like they could be cleaner. Water pressure was acceptable; however, don't expect to enjoy hot showers as the water heater somewhat heats up water, but they were no more than lukewarm water. There is also a small hole by the window of where lizards can freely roam in and out of my room which somewhat bothered me.

Good location for the local area
We stayed for 2 weeks here and really enjoyed the room and the locale. Bingo restaurant is just two minutes walk and serves excellent thai food for a very good price all night. Mars bar up the road is and excellent bar in the evenings and e local market is just across the road. The room is very nice, the only thing i would change is the bed has no headboard and there is a line of bricks poking out of the wall at head level, a little precarious.

Nice place, centrally located
Close to the Khao Lak action, Motive Cottage is on the "highway" through town, across the road from the "Main Street" where many shops and restaurants are to be found. So while there is highway noise (nicely masked by the pool's waterfall), you don't get the noise of the massed crowds that likely run from dusk to dawn - but the location is perfect, because you can easily head over the road if that's your thing too! Motive's room are generously sized, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious - a much fuller fare then I expected for the price. The staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, Motive gave us fantastic value for money. Of the 5 places we stayed in the Khao Lak area, my teenage daughter is recommending Motive to her friends as a place they could all stay on their SE Asia tour - affordable, safe, clean, close to the action with a great breakfast.

Great budget hotel, easy walk to beach
My husband and I wanted a hotel in Khao Lak that wouldn't break the bank and we decided to go with Motive Cottage. It is about a 15 minute walk to the beach (depending how fast or slow you walk) but it is an easy stroll down a road with lots of restaurants and bars. The only problem was there wasn't great beach access, so we ended up having to walk through another resort to actually get to the beach. The room was very comfortable and clean and we had to complaints. The breakfast was also great; you had eggs to order with breakfast meats, toast, fruit, and coffee tea, ect. Overall very comfortable room.

Gute und günstige Unterkunft
Zuerst eins vorweg: Der erste Eindruck war nicht so positiv als wir dort ankamen. Aber anschließend und abschließend müssen wir sagen, dass es eine tolle Unterkunft ist für einen vernünftigen Preis. Das Zimmer war groß und geräumig, es gab neben den Betten auch eine Chill-Area im Zimmer. Gut, der Duschbereich könnte etwas größer sein, aber es für uns keinen "Engpass". Der Zimmerservice war auch top, täglich alles sauber gemacht und für uns aufgeräumt. Unsere Belange wurden auch bearbeitet als Zimmernachbarn unbedingt die Nacht zum Tag machen wollten. In der näheren Umgebung gab es tolle Restaurants ohne in die Touristen-Strasse zum Strand zu müssen, welche überteuert sind und nicht so gut sind. Alles in allem eine Unterkunft die beim nächsten Besuch wieder gebucht wird. Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt, dem tollen Service und den freundlichen Mitarbeitern.

値段相当のホテル
値段相当のホテルでした。 部屋は広く、施設は新しくは無いけど清掃はされていて使い易かった。シャワーのお湯があまり熱くならないとかは、この地域のこの価格のホテルだとしょうがないかと思います。 ドライヤーがない、アメニティが無いと言うのも、値段相当かと思います。 繁華街から近いのは、良いと思いました。

清潔感…
低層階はプールから見えてしまうという口コミがあったため、事前に高層階を希望したところ部屋は3階を用意してくれました。 フロントの方が女性だっこともあり、荷物を運ぶことを手伝ってくれることはありませんでした。 ホテルは全体的にお洒落な雰囲気ですが、部屋に入って目に付いたのは大量のホコリとアリ。 アリはタイでは普通かなと思っていましたが、シャワーの付け根から大量のアリが発生しているのを発見。 ポット中にもアリがいました…。 そこからアリ退治に時間を費やしました…。 滞在中に洗濯をしたい方はベランダが広いため干すのは楽ですが、日当たりが良くないため乾きは悪いです。 セブンイレブンが大通りを挟んで向かいにあるので便利です。 部屋は広くゆったり過ごせますが、清潔感を重視する方にはおススメしません。

Prisvärt centralt boende i Bang Niang
Jag och min 11-åriga dotter bodde tre nätter på Motive Cottage Resort. Vi fick checka in tidigare vilket uppskattades efter en lång flygresa. Rummet var fint med utgång till poolen till dotterns förtjusning. En aning hård säng som sig bör i Thailand. ACn fungerade toppen. Lite myror och mögel i badrummet. I övrigt ok! Frukosten ok! Hotellet låg vid en trafikerad väg som behövde korsas om man skulle till restauranger och strand. Gångavstånd till strand, restauranger, affärer, marknad, minigolf, tsunamimuseum. För den lilla summa vi betalade för vistelsen skulle jag absolut rekommendera hotellet om man inte söker efter ett lyxhotell. Vi var nöjda och kan absolut tänka oss att boka detta hotell igen.

コンビニ、レストラン、マッサージとどれも近いロケーション
安い割に部屋も広く、ベッドも大きめ。ダイビング目的の利用なので夜しっかり休めればＯＫでした。寝具や、タオルは清潔でバスタオルがぶ厚く大きかった。角部屋だったので小さいバルコニーがついていて、水着などを干せてよかった。メインの通りに面しているのに、とても静かで鳥などの声しか聞こえませんでした。自分ではシャワーの水量、しっかりあったかいお湯がでるかが安いホテルでは心配でしたが、十分でした。朝食はごく普通で外で食べてもいいかも。東南アジアの休めのホテルには必ずいる床の小さいアリ？虫が気になる人はやめましょう。最後の日だけ満室だったのか、タオルのはしっこがボロボロになってる薄目のタオルになり、それでふいた後、腕や足がかゆくなった。

便利なホテル
ダイビング目的で４泊しました。 ひとり旅です。 ダイビングショップ（ビッグブルー）、コンビニ、マッサージ、レストランなど必要なものはほぼ徒歩5分圏にあり、とても便利です。 部屋は必要最小限というところですが、朝部屋を出て夕方に戻ってくる旅行では全く問題ありません。 ただ、水周り（特にシャワー）は貧弱です（でもお湯はきちんと出ます）。 湯沸しポットは備え付け、ドライヤーはフロントで貸してもらえました。 無料Wifiがあります。 壁、天井が薄いので隣の声、上の階の足音がまる聞こえです。 気になる方にはお勧めいたしません。 ただ、周辺は繁華街ではないこと、滞在者が昼間のアクティビティで疲れていることから、深夜までうるさいということはあまりないとは思います。 プールもありますが、あまり水がきれいではありませんので、見て少しだけリゾート気分を感じられればというところです。 朝食はパン、フルーツ、タイフード（焼きそば、チャーハン、おかゆ）、卵料理などがあり、豪華とはいえませんが、このレベルのホテルとしては充分です。 「カップル、家族で楽しいリゾート」では決してありませんが、ダイビングなどで泊まるには必要十分です。
