Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.
Nice simple and cheap bungalows, with bathroom, aircondition, everything you need for few days. There was option have breakfast or you can eat lunch or dinner for few thb, staff was so nice, they did everything that you will feel happy.
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!
Staff were very helpful at all times. Good food, comfortable bed and good location, what more do you want.

Liked: Staff & service
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.
Excellent hotel. It’s rustic with a lot of nature around and the rooms were separate from each other, which give you a lot of privacy. Room was clean and very comfortable. The restaurant’s food was amazing. The staff were really friendly and nice. The view from the restaurant was spectacular and very relaxing. We will definitely go back.
Had a great stay. The bungalow we stayed in looked as if it was newly built or renovated. The staff was very helpful. Will definitely be staying at rapala next time in railay.

Unimpressed
We were excited to stay in a bungalow and thought it would be a romantic experience. However, it felt like we were camping outside. The non-flush toilet was definitely a surprise and hindrance since we paid extra for a private bathroom.
The staff went out of their way to help me get my luggage from the west beach ferry drop off. They have interesting wild squirrels, frogs, and monkeys. It is tucked into the side of the cliff with wonderful views!
