Blooming Village by Aforetime offers villas and bungalows set in garden surroundings on Koh Samui. Most rooms have a garden view and air conditioning, and several villas have a private entrance. Some villas have two or three bedrooms, and the Two-Bedroom Villa sleeps up to four guests.

Several villas offer a choice of bed set-ups, and most rooms have toiletries and towels. Several rooms also have a private bathroom with a shower, and a fan and a mosquito net are provided in several rooms. Guests can also use the garden, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, so guests can stay connected from their room or the garden.

The property has a garden and a terrace, with free parking on site and bicycle parking as well. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in public areas, and pets are allowed, although pets may not be left unattended.

Tours and ticket services can be arranged, and taxi services are available. There is an airport transfer and a shuttle service, and daily housekeeping is provided. A postal service is also available.

For meals, the property has a kitchen, a kitchenette, BBQ facilities, a snack bar and 24-hour room service, and bottled water is available. Languages spoken include English and Thai, and the public areas are air-conditioned, with 24-hour security in place.

The property is in the village of Taling Ngam on Koh Samui, a setting of local houses, temples and small beaches rather than a resort strip. Talingngam Beach is a 150 m walk from the property, and Pang Ka Beach is 800 m away, so the sea is close for a swim. Chaweng and Lamai, the island's busier beach areas, lie further along the coast.

Koh Samui's temples and waterfalls are reachable by road. Wat Samuthra Ram, a Buddhist temple 4.5 km away, is one of the sights in the area, and Namuang Waterfall lies inland. A local fish market sells fresh seafood, and the Big Buddha, a large hilltop statue, is 17.8 km away. Samui Airport, 16.7 km away, is the nearest airport, and an airport transfer is available.

A good day could begin with a swim at Talingngam Beach, continue to the fish market for fresh seafood, and end at Wat Samuthra Ram. Namuang Waterfall makes a trip inland for those who want a change of scene, and the Big Buddha is worth adding for a longer day out. Back at the property, the garden is a place to finish the day, with the villas set around it.
