Quiet rooms at Koa D'Surfer Hotel & Boutique Suites
Sound insulation varies significantly by room location; street-facing rooms suffer from external noise, while rice-field-facing rooms are notably quieter. Overall insulation quality appears to be a weakness.
All five claims are from mid-to-late 2026 (May through August), suggesting consistent noise issues over recent months with no temporal improvement trend detected.
What the reviews tell us
Rice-field-facing rooms offer significantly quieter environments with little to no noise disturbance
Street-facing rooms suffer from loud motorcycle and bike noise, particularly late at night, disrupting sleep
One reviewer directly reported very poor sound insulation quality
Road and balcony-facing rooms experience traffic noise despite otherwise pleasant views
Sound insulation at Koa D'Surfer Hotel presents a location-dependent experience. Guests in rooms facing the rice fields report quiet, peaceful environments with minimal noise, while those assigned to street-facing or road-facing rooms encounter substantial noise challenges. Specific issues include motorcycle and bike noise at night, road traffic from balcony rooms, and general poor acoustic separation that affects sleep. A Russian reviewer directly characterized sound insulation as "very poor." The evidence suggests that room position—rather than consistent wall or floor insulation—is the primary determinant of noise experience. Travelers are advised to specifically request rice-field-facing accommodations to minimize disruption.
Room location creates stark contrast in noise experience
The primary contradiction is not about the hotel's insulation quality itself, but rather the dramatic variation based on room assignment. Rice-field-facing rooms are reported as quiet with 'little to no noise,' while street- or road-facing rooms experience significant motorcycle and traffic noise. This suggests either: (1) the hotel's exterior wall/door insulation is weak relative to external noise sources, or (2) interior room-to-room/floor-to-floor insulation may be adequate but external noise penetration is the real issue. The data does not directly address inter-room or between-floor noise transfer, so we cannot definitively separate external vs. internal sound transmission problems.
The evidence
Both sides shown — including dissenting reviewsI was able to move to the rooms facing the rice fields and it was way more quiet and little to no noise
if you have a balcony room facing the road, it's nice but there is the road noise
if you are unlucky enough to get rooms that are directly besides the street you may struggle to sleep at night. I got in at 3am in the morning and couldn't fall asleep because of how noisy the bikes passing by outside were
