by Brian Ford Visit Date:April 25, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "This was the second stay within three weeks and I ve been impressed both times. The hotel is small and focusses on the raft rooms, there are only 2 rooms available on dry land in the main building. The food in the restaurant is good and very reasonably priced. Staff are warm and friendly but efficient." |
by Paul O`Shannessy Visit Date:April 23, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We stayed 2 nights in a river cabin, one word, Fantastic. The resturant food and service very good. Has a floating pool compound, so that you are actually in the river Kwai, but can not get carried away in the strong current. Is about 55kms, out of Kanchanburri. Would stay again." |
by Chutima T. Visit Date:April 13, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The location is very good indeed. Perfect location, perfect view, perfect environment. Room quality is value for money. Just small things such as; the water in the shower room doesn t work if the room next door is using it in the same time. Room is very hot in the daytime, even we turned on the air-con for few hours (It would be great if staff could prepare the room before guest arrives). Hotel service is just average. You cannot expect staff there to be very friendly and smile like 4-5 stars resort. Overall is good for me. I would recommend this resort to others. BTW can you provide TV in the room???" |
by Ian William Kuik Visit Date:March 19, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay,the staff were extremely helpful and although language can be a bit of a barrier at times, a few good smiles and gestures soon solved any issues.perfect location to head off and visit the many points of interest in the area without having to travel long distances.The walls on the river rafts are thin enough to hear conversation next door,but as these are floating structures, one really should not expect brick and mortar soundproofing.If i did not think it was worth going back there then i must question myself as to why both my wife and i feel that we would love to make a return visit to this resort." |

by Dmitry Turevskiy Visit Date:February 6, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Hotel staff is very friendly and provides all Kwai attractions. Raft rooms are very good, have all necessary appliances and can accommodate up to 3 persons.Location is OK although relatively far from village. In walking distance there is only small shopping corner with shop and bar." |
by Christel Maria Stener Visit Date:February 5, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We stayed for 3 nights in one of the Raft Bungalows, and we were very thrilled about the room and the views! It felt very exotic having the river flow right under you! The room was very nicely decoreated and spacious with 2 double beds, and the veranda facing the river with two lounge chairs was amazing. It had both a fan and AC, which came in handy in the 38 degree heat.The staff were very friendly and helpful. On the downside there were no options to eat anywhere else than at the hotel restaurant, and the food was not very good. It was very bland and non-tasting to be Thai food. We made two tours , both of which the hotel arranged for us. One to the Tiger Temple, and one longtail boat trip to a waterfall. The tours were quite expensive (around 3000 Baht/tour for 2 persons) and not really worth the money.It was a very relaxing stay (as there is not much else to do there), and it was very quiet as the only guests were us 2 and a family from Denmark." |
by Williams Visit Date:December 30, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Lovely resort,very clean for a raft bungalow on river, and excellent value.Elephant trek and Elephant bathing 5 minutes away. Good food, although more choice perhaps could be given as the set breakfast would be little boring if you were there more than a few days. (More smiles from breakfast staff would be nice)Motorbike hire available. Reception staff and guide very very helpful, and made our stay more enjoyable. Thank you. 1 hour from Kanchanaburi. They had just built a small river swimming pool on departure. This will be a bonus, as you can\ t swim in river, water flow fast. Would definitely recommend." |
by Robert Visit Date:December 23, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The Raft Rooms where just very nice, with a great view. Since its a raft the walls are thin and you can hear the noices of neigbor rooms. But for me staying in this resort was a very good experience. Food was ok, breakfast bit simple but with fresh juice!I think all the guest can enjoin at this Resort." |
by Richard Jenkinson Visit Date:December 12, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Very good location as the room is floating on the river. However the quality of the room build is not that good. Very thin walls mean you can hear everything in the adjacent rooms, from conversations, snoring and people using the bathroom. Very quiet location in that no real facilites nearby in terms of restaurants etc. Small shops nearby. Restaurant menu in hotel was sparse. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Trips are expensive, particularly if travelling alone, as they are based on the number in the party and all stated as including admission tickets, but going to Hellfire Pass Museum, there is no admission fee anyway." |
by Minna Sharma-Arponen Visit Date:November 7, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "A marvelous floating residence by riwer kwai. Great place to relax. The food was excellent and priced reasonably." |
by lucia bosma Visit Date:October 27, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Great place, very nice invironment, restfull, allthough they where building another raft next to us, we enjoyed the peace of the river. Nice people, good food, loved how it was all made to fit nature." |
by Mr Josip Banovic Visit Date:September 18, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Would be a good place for a quiet getaway although the presence of loud construction noises during the hotel performing renovations during our stay dampened the experience. Staff tried to persuade us to vacate our room during these renovations with disregard to our intentions of sleeping in and relaxing. The resort served us undercooked fish and cold boiled rice on a few occassions." |
by Alf Sverre Larsen Visit Date:August 31, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Rooms and service was great. The young couple who managed the resort did all to give us the best service and a pleasant stay.One thing need to be said abouth the kitchen. They have to uprade it in the future. The food and taste was below what <you might expect for the price paid and for the quality they want to have on the resort. As a whole a very pleasant stay." |
by Glen Rene Robert Visit Date:August 9, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "This was a VERY unique style of accommodation - a very comfortable bamboo hut, air-conditioned, floating on a raft, moored along a fast flowing river. Off the balcony you could dangle your legs into the river water, listen to the rush of the river as you lay comfortably on your bed or deck chair, feel the gentle rock of the water. From the balcony you can watch the river life go past - the long boats, tourist rafts, locals crossing the rickety suspension bridge on foot or scooter. The adjacent restaurant/reception area served delicious, simple Thai meals that were very inexpensive. The staff were VERY helpful & friendly & various tours were organised by them with private guides. Down the road was a small village with a corner shop which supplied essentials. There was also a village restaurant that was open for lunch that supplied Thai-set lunches that were very cheap & delicious!This place is not handicap friendly, otherwise, I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel!" |
