Alison, United Kingdom

The river was an interesting place to be. It was a unique place to stay. The rooms were quirky. Breakfast buffet was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Tracy, Australia

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!

Heather Robinson

United States of America

“It was a very pleasant stay for us.We stayed there for 2 nights and it wasn't enough. We should have stayed longer. The room was well decorated and the bed was super comfy. Staying in the room or walking around the hotel was very relaxing. We can hike up to the hill behind and visit to the Mon Village and lava cave either on foot or by bicycle. Food at the hotel is very reasonable priced, even cheaper than some small restaurants in Bangkok. It wasn't expensive at all considering we were in the middle of the river. The taste was also good. We went to the sister hotel, River Kwai Jungle Raft, for a raft ride down the river back to our hotel. It was 1,800 Baht/ raft/ ride. At first we thought it was expensive but when we actually rode it, we thought it was worth it. It took about 45 minutes to get back to our hotel. We ride along the water flow, looked around the scenery, played with the water along the ride. We will probably go back there again in a year or two. It was my best trip of the year.”

눉Unique location - however, other than the hotel there’s nothing there. It took us hours to get there. The shuttlebus proposed by the hotel almost costed more than our whole stay.. The food of the hotel is really bad.. bring your own snacks as you might not find anything in the vicinity.

눉Although the intentions are good, it seems the staff are struggling to achieve the 5 star service level that is customary for hotels in this segment in Thailand. E.g. only one (rather small) towel provided per guest, reservations at reception for long-tail boat transfer and spa never seemed to have reached the boat driver and/or spa, the restaurant management consistently only having eye for their screen and not greeting guests despite them sitting right next to the entrance, restaurant staff being a bit less responsive then elsewhere and the restaurant running completely out of white wines (any!) one evening. These are all small things that shouldn’t spoil your stay, but they certainly do stand out when you come from Bangkok or Kanchanaburi and stayed in Hotels with similar stars there.
눇Luxury hotel at a unique location. You are truly away from the big city madness.

눉We had a horrible spa experience. It wasn't even a massage, it was pressure points all over my body and it hurt so bad. Trying to get to the pier was very difficult because many taxis or mode of transportations don't want to work with you or overcharge you like crazy.
눇The overall experience was great, it was very different. The hotel is beautiful, relaxing and a great way to disconnect. The rooms are absolutely stunning and having your own dock with a swing is just a jam dropper. We woke up to the sounds of nature and the river flowing. We only stayed for one night, but wished to be there for about 5 more lol. IT IS A MUST!!!! The shower is basically outside, but private from other villas.
