Great location, unique setting and property, very comfortable atmospheric room.

Staff are very helpful. Nice view and had good experience.

Tjbk, Thailand

Wow! Where do I even start! The property was amazing. From the Villa to the staff and everything in between was absolutely incredible. We had a massage every day as well as soaking up the sun on our Villa dock, or jumping in the river to cool off. We did the half board and it was the smartest idea ever. The food was LITERALLY the best food I’ve ever had from a buffet at a resort. Every single person that works here is so kind and honest. My girlfriend and I are already planning our next trip here with ALL our friends and family. Thai culture is so welcoming and nice, my girlfriend and I wanted to move here with all them. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the hospitality! You will always have my business!

“Fantastic! Well worth the trip”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Floating Villa with Halfboard
- • Stayed 2 nights
Breakfast was decent, but lunch and dinner were just ok. I think they need to spend some time on improving the food quality. Dinner was a buffet and we dined a-la carte for lunch.
I stayed here for 2 nights with my partner and it was honestly one of the highlights of our 2 week trip to Thailand. We took the train from Bangkok to Nam Tok (a must!), when we got the the pier there was a boat ready to take us to the hotel. Honestly the views are just breath taking, it's in a gorgeous, quiet and secluded location. Much needed after 3 busy days in Bangkok! The rooms are just beautiful, the nets add a very romantic feel and I loved the swing chair on the decks. I loved the bathroom, very rustic but clean. The boats going past were sometimes loud but it's really not a big deal. It adds to the atmosphere and it's fun to feel the rooms shake a little. It really is floating! Staff were friendly and helpful, we didn't do any of the excursions but we went to the nearby cave and wondered around. We had a great time here and would 100% recommend

We stayed as a couple and thought this place was fantastic! What a small piece of heaven in this jungle location. Staff were excellent, accommodation spotless and a luxury treat. We visited Mon village just behind and the locals were kind and willing to talk and show us their village. A bit sceptical as a middle age couple when travelling there as not sure how we would fair but the train from Thonburi station in Bangkok straight through to Nam Tok was defiantly the way to go. The death railway over the River Kwai was awesome, we were lucky to stay in that area as well for two nights! I would definitely return. The only negative was we only spent two days and should have stayed longer.

“Wow.”

What an awsome place. The staff were great, the food was very good and the beer was cold. The rooms were clean and comfortable and very well designed/ styled. After sundown it was very dark and very quiet apart from the lightning storm that lit up the gorge with great effect. If quiet is your thing, this is your place. I was up at dawn and sitting out on our private "balcony" with just the river and nature (and a coffee) was amazing, even more so after the hectic Bangkok. The only possible setback is if you fancy some nightlife, there is nowhere to go. The bar/restaurant is very good but that is it. If you are expecting to go anywhere else then you will be dissapointed. We (4) spent two evenings taking our time with dinner and then a few beers till late and it was just a nice chill for a change. Its not a problem if you know what to expect. I would return if im out that way without a doubt. Thankyou Float house, well done, A++++ Steve.

“Wonderful experience with minor difficulties do to my handicaps.”
- • Leisure trip

It takes a while to get use to boats speeding by and rocking everything. We took a car to the hotel and I would not recommend this the road is very rough and when you get there you have to walk down a serious number of steps which is difficult if you are partial vison impaired or have walking problems or are elderly. The alternative is the river boat which is free but difficult to get into and out of. If there was an opening in the roof tarp where people can get into and out easily, with one step to climb down or up it would be extremely helpful. A taxi arranged through the hotel is very expensive it is better to arrange one through search engines on your phone.
The experience was very different. The hotel is an actual floating hotel with all the amenities. Even hot water in the shower. The river flowing by while sitting on the deck is mesmerizing and relaxing. The staff is wonderful and the food in the restaurant is excellent. The morning breakfast is excellent and bountiful.
