Koh Larn White House — small clean rooms at an easy price, a short walk from Na Ban Pier
A small white building tucked in Na Ban village, a short walk in from the pier — this is Koh Larn White House, a 2-star guest house people pick for one reason: a low price and clean rooms · Just 7 rooms, cold A/C, a fridge, satellite TV and a little terrace out front · Walk to shops, the market and village restaurants · Scored 8.0 from 256 reviews, from approx. ฿1,200/night.
Koh Larn White House is a small white guest house in Na Ban village — the same side as Na Ban Pier, a short walk in from where the ferries dock · Its selling point is plain: the price is far lighter than the beachfront stays, which suits travellers doing Koh Larn on a budget — out at the beaches all day, back here just to sleep · The village around it has convenience stores, restaurants, a market and motorbike-rental spots, all within walking distance, so you never need to flag down a ride.
There are only a handful of room types, from a Standard Queen up to a Deluxe Double With Balcony that gives you a small balcony to sit out on · Every room is air-conditioned with a fridge (several guests note the fridge is bigger than you'd expect at this price), satellite TV and an en-suite bathroom with hot water · Rooms are on the compact side, built for sleeping rather than lounging all day, but they're tidily laid out and feel fresh since the building only opened in 2017.
"Small but very clean, housekeeping came every day, A/C nice and cold, big fridge, good water pressure in the shower. An easy walk in from the pier — great value at this price."
Real guest reviews line up on cleanliness and value · Many praise the clean rooms, comfy beds, cold A/C and shower pressure that beats a lot of places on the island · The front terrace has a table and chairs for an evening sit-down, and a simple continental breakfast comes with some packages · With only 7 rooms the place stays quiet and feels more private than the bigger blocks nearby.
Worth knowing before you book: the rooms are small and the bathrooms are tight · Some reviews say service depends on the day and staff aren't always hands-on, and breakfast is basic and not very filling · And a natural quirk of the Na Ban side — most restaurants close early once the day-trippers head back to the ferries, so evening dining options thin out; plan dinner ahead.
Honestly, Koh Larn White House suits travellers doing the island on a budget who weigh price over facilities · If the picture in your head is stepping off the ferry, walking into the village, dropping your bags and heading out to the beaches all day, then coming back to a clean, cold room for a thousand-something baht — it does that well and at good value · But if you want a sea view, a pool, a roomy space or a beachfront resort feel, the Tawaen Beach or Samae Beach side will fit better.
On price, the Standard Queen starts at about ฿1,200/night, with the Deluxe and balcony rooms moving up to roughly ฿1,500–1,800 depending on the date and package · Weekends and long holidays push prices up and sell out fast since there are only 7 rooms · If you want a balcony room at a good rate, book ahead and lock a free-cancellation rate first.

- 💡If you want a pool or a sea view — this is a village guest house, no pool and not on the beach → look at resorts or pool villas on the Tawaen Beach or Samae Beach side instead.
- 💡If you plan to eat dinner on the island — many Na Ban restaurants close early once day-trippers leave → scout out late-opening spots in advance, or grab backup food from a convenience store.
