Hiring a housekeeper on Koh Samui vs a cleaning company
Hiring a housekeeper on Koh Samui or booking a cleaning company: real costs, employer duties, sick days, checking the work, and when each makes sense.
Guide
With us, a regular clean of a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom villa costs 2,400 ฿ per visit, a deep clean 5,000 ฿, and a turnover between guests 2,400 ฿. The final figure depends on the rooms, the type of property and how often we come. It is the same anywhere on the island, and you know it before we arrive.

Short answer
On Koh Samui, the price of a villa clean depends mainly on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and on the type of clean. A small condo starts at 1,000 ฿ for a regular visit. A large villa that has not been properly cleaned for months needs a deep clean first, which costs more because it takes far longer.
Here are our current prices per visit. They include all products and equipment, so there is nothing for you to buy or prepare.
| Property | Regular cleaning | Deep clean | Guest turnover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Condo, 1 bed, 1 bath | 1,000 ฿ | 2,300 ฿ | 1,000 ฿ |
| Condo, 2 bed, 2 bath | 1,500 ฿ | 3,300 ฿ | 1,500 ฿ |
| House, 2 bed, 2 bath | 1,700 ฿ | 3,700 ฿ | 1,700 ฿ |
| House, 3 bed, 2 bath | 2,000 ฿ | 4,300 ฿ | 2,050 ฿ |
| Villa, 3 bed, 3 bath | 2,400 ฿ | 5,000 ฿ | 2,400 ฿ |
| Villa, 4 bed, 4 bath | 2,900 ฿ | 6,000 ฿ | 2,900 ฿ |

The same prices apply across the whole of Koh Samui, with no travel fee for any area. Homes with 5 or more bedrooms are priced from photos. Below we explain each factor that pushes the price up or down, then work through four real examples.
What drives the price
A cleaning price is really an estimate of time: the more hours a property takes, the more it costs. These are the factors that affect the time, and how we charge for each of them.
Every bedroom adds a bed to make, a floor to vacuum and surfaces to dust. On Samui, though, a bathroom takes longer than any other room. The water across much of the island is hard, so limescale builds up quickly on taps and shower glass, and the humidity means grout and silicone need regular attention. That is why we price bathrooms separately from bedrooms.
A villa costs more than a condo with the same number of rooms. Villas usually have larger living areas, stairs, terraces, outdoor showers and sliding doors whose tracks collect sand and red dust. A house falls somewhere in between.
We do not charge by the square metre. For regular, deep, turnover and move-in or move-out cleaning, the price depends only on the type of property and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. A villa with 5 or more bedrooms, or one that is very large for its bedroom count, we price from photos and agree with you in chat. The one exception is post-construction cleaning, which is priced per m².
Regular visits cost less per visit, because a home that is cleaned often is easier to keep clean. The discount applies to regular cleaning and is taken off the whole visit, extras included:
Frequency discounts apply to regular cleaning only.
We are based on the north coast, but the price does not depend on where your home is. Bophut, Maenam, Chaweng, Nathon, Lamai and the south all cost the same, with no travel fee and no surcharge for a hillside road.
Bophut, Maenam, Bang Rak, Plai Laem, Choeng Mon
Chaweng, Chaweng Noi, Bang Po, Nathon
Lamai, Lipa Noi, Taling Ngam and the south
One price across Koh Samui: no travel or area surcharge, wherever your home is on the island.
There are very few paid extras. With a regular clean you can add the inside of the fridge or the inside of the oven; in a deep or move-in/move-out clean both are already included, as is the terrace. Anything else is agreed before the visit:

Examples
A one-off regular clean of a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo costs 1,500 ฿. Booked weekly, the same visit costs 1,270 ฿, because the weekly discount of 15% applies. There is no travel fee anywhere on the island, so that is the full price per visit.
A monthly regular clean of a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom villa costs 2,280 ฿ after the monthly discount of 5%. Chaweng costs the same as the north coast, with no travel fee, even if the villa sits up a steep hill. Nothing else changes unless you ask for an extra, such as cleaning the inside of the fridge (300 ฿). The monthly discount applies to the whole visit, extras included, so the fridge is discounted too. The calculator shows the exact total.
If your villa has been shut up through the rainy season, book a deep clean for late November or early December, after the heaviest rains and before the high season starts in late December. For a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom villa it costs 6,000 ฿, whatever the floor area and whichever part of the island it is in. The inside of the fridge and oven and the terrace are included, which matters when the villa has stood closed for months. If the villa has 5 or more bedrooms, send us photos and we agree the price in chat.
A turnover clean of a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom villa costs 2,400 ฿. That includes making up the three beds with your clean linen and restocking toilet paper, coffee and soap from the supplies you keep in the villa, so there is no per-bed or restocking fee. The washing itself stays with you, so keep enough clean sets in the villa for each changeover. Hosts with 8 or more cleans a month get a discount, and a monthly invoice on request; see cleaning for property managers.
Enter the type of property and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. The calculator uses the same prices as this page.
A separate guest toilet counts as one.
A small veranda or balcony is already included. We do not clean swimming pools.
5 bedrooms or more, 3 floors or more, a very large villa or a difficult case such as a badly neglected home: send us a few photos so we can plan the team and the time, and we will agree the price in chat before the visit.
Comparing quotes
Two quotes for the same villa can be very different, and the lower one does not always work out cheaper. Before you choose, ask every company the same questions:
Here are our own answers. Every clean follows a written room-by-room checklist. We bring all products and equipment. Every cleaner is trained to our standard, and her work is checked against the checklist and the photos after every clean. You get a room-by-room photo report after each visit. The price is the same across the island, with no travel fee. If we missed something on the checklist, write to us within 24 hours and we will come back and put it right free of charge. Cancelling or moving a visit is free. Just tell us as early as you can, ideally 24 hours ahead. You pay in cash or by bank transfer once you have accepted the work. The details are on our quality control page.
The real cost
A low hourly rate looks attractive until you add up what it does not cover.
The fair comparison is with the price of a clean you will not have to redo.
Exact price
Send us the type of property, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the part of the island and, ideally, a few photos on WhatsApp. We confirm a fixed price and a date. The price does not change on site as long as the property matches the description, and extras are added only if you agree to them before we start. We work in all areas of Koh Samui.
