I had an unforgettable stay at this hotel! The food was exceptional, offering a wide range of delicious dishes that catered to every taste. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the breathtaking view — waking up to such beauty was absolutely priceless. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury, hospitality, and stunning scenery. Can’t wait to come back!

This was such a fun experience. The hotel was fantastic!! The rooms are beautiful, the scenery amazing, and the experiences booked through the hotel were outstanding. The massage was extra relaxing with the ambience of the river. I have celiac and there were plenty of food options and it was excellent.

I specially chose this water house to spend two days. The environment is quiet and it slows down the pace of travel. SPA services are provided and you can make reservations using Line. Although it takes 3 hours to get there from Bangkok, there are several attractions arranged along the way. It doesn’t feel like the journey is far away. It’s really recommended. There are packages of one bed, two meals and one activity to choose from.

We stayed 2 nights in August 2023.Arrival: It takes about 10 minutes to get to the hotel by boat. Arrival by land is not possible.Room: Very large, with air conditioning, refrigerator, coffee maker. As a family, you can connect the rooms via a connecting door to form one large room. All rooms have a covered terrace. Overall, very tasteful furnishings with lots of wood and bamboo.Restaurant and breakfast: We had dinner there once. Prices are okay. Not overly expensive as a monopolist. Western food is also on the menu, such as burgers and pizza. The food was good and solid and the service, as usual in Thailand, was very accommodating.The breakfast was good with a large selection of hot Asian dishes and western ideas of a breakfast. Omelette is freshly prepared. Only the selection of bread could have been larger. Croissant and toast was a bit little.Leisure activities: You can swim in the river. You jump in at the reception and let yourself drift until the end. The river wasn't particularly inviting (rainy season), but it was still fun. You can also rent a boat for swimming. This accompanies you and brings people back (1500 Bath). Massages were also offered but were not taken up.You can still go for a walk on land.Tourists are usually picked up in the morning and taken to the buses to see the sights in the area (Bridge on the River Kwai, Hellfire Pass, access road).Now to the feel-good factor: We thought the hotel was quiet and secluded. An anchor of calm in the jungle. None! From 7 a.m. until it gets dark, loud diesel-powered boats rattle past. That's literally a boat every few minutes. It is not suitable for peace and relaxation here.I recommend earplugs when sleeping, as the water splashes very loudly.Conclusion: OK for 2-3 nights. Comfort and service is very good. Not suitable for those seeking peace and quiet.
