We had such a great time here!! The staff were super friendly, especially the restaurant team, they made sure we started and ended every day with a smile, which really made a difference. The lodge was surprisingly comfortable for being in the jungle. Everything was well thought out: clean, secure, and completely leak-proof, even during the heavy rain we had. The restaurant was another highlight. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Great portions, tasty dishes, and a relaxed vibe, perfect after a day of exploring. We also did one of the tours offered by the lodge, and it was really well organized. They even provided dry bags for guests who didn’t bring one, which was super helpful. Furthermore, the location was amazing. It is a great spot right by the river. Waking up to the sound of flowing water and birds was something special. All in all, a place where you feel welcome, well taken care of, and surrounded by nature. We’ll definitely be back!

This hotel is set in a beautiful natural environment, on a limestone cliff with a lake. It felt like being in a jungle, which was lovely. The welcome was good, with butterfly tea and clear explanations. However, it's quite isolated, facing a departmental road far from the city. They offer a taxi service, but it's too expensive. This means the only accessible dining option is the hotel's own restaurant, which is a major drawback: - The service is poor: twice, we had to go and get the menus ourselves. - The staff seemed disengaged and were all on their phones. - The restaurant closes at 8 PM, which is quite astounding. On our second night, we arrived at 7:50 PM, right after a group of 20 people, and were told only fried rice dishes were available because we arrived too late… we clearly have different definitions of 'late'. Imagine if we had gone on a night safari excursion, or checked in at 9 PM – we wouldn't have been able to eat, which is a real problem. - Once ordered, the dishes didn't arrive together. My girlfriend had almost finished her meal by the time mine was served (two fried rice and chicken dishes, by the way). Additionally, we couldn't find a hairdryer, and there was another issue: the room was poorly soundproofed; you could hear everyone as if they were right inside our room.

Fun stay in the jungle! Lovely bungalows that were cosy. Friendly and helpful reception staff, cute cats chilling there too! The restaurant was convenient, however a little overpriced. Luckily it’s not too far to walk into the village so there are plenty of options. Mainly couples/ families. Open air bungalow, so had many critters/ frogs/lizards visiting during the night.

We were pleased with our choice of this lodge, despite a few issues. We spent three nights there. There are duplex and single cabins, but we had a separate cabin. The cabin was clean and smelled pleasant. The plumbing was generally in good working order, with good water pressure and hot water from a tankless water heater. Shower gel, shampoo, and soap were provided. The air conditioner worked well and had a remote control, although the mosquito nets kept slipping off their tracks when opening and closing them. A hairdryer is available at reception. Cleaning (trash removal) is daily, and the water is replenished. The concept of the hotel is interesting, they offer different programs (trekking of different duration, Cheow Lan Lake, night (or rather evening) hikes in the jungle, caves and so on. The prices for activities are not cheap, we went on a night walk in Khao Sok (2800 baht for two) - interesting, we saw a lot of insects, amphibians, monkeys, birds - everyone was sleeping. Prices for other programs for adults per person from 2 pax: lake from 2600 to 3900, elephants 1600, rafts 800, dinner in the jungle (in fact, on the territory of the lodge) 1200, trekking programs from 1900 to 3300 depending on the duration, night hikes 1900 Khao Sok and 1500 Khlog Phanom, caves 3300. Within walking distance from the hotel for an independent visit there is rafting on bamboo rafts (we paid 700 for two), a cave (20 baht per person + fish food included), and the Instagrammable Bridge Hill Cafe. The hotel has its own small trekking trail. Meals: breakfasts are okay; they prepare what you choose from the menu (one dish), the rest is bread, jam, butter, cereal, fruit, tea and coffee are freely available, including loose-leaf green tea and coffee from a coffee machine. I didn't really like the food in the restaurant; it was too simple and not particularly tasty, and it didn't match the wine cabinet with bottles costing several thousand baht. Lunches and dinners were generally disappointing, but inexpensive. But the view from the restaurant during breakfast is simply gorgeous!!! In the morning, you can watch squirrels scurry and listen to the songs of gibbons in the forest from the lodge balcony. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help. Overall, I liked the lodge; it's a great location for exploring the area, especially if you have transportation.

A magical place! It was like living in a botanical garden :) Peace and quiet surround us. The cottages are clean and cozy. We stayed in room 22, and no sounds from the main street reached us. The receptionists are attentive and caring. We booked all our excursions through them, and there were no issues, the guides were excellent. The girls always wish you a safe trip and good luck, and then rejoice with you when everything went well. The breakfasts are delicious and varied. The location is excellent! The park entrance is 5-10 minutes away. Opposite is the Bamboo bar and restaurant on the second floor with a beautiful view. The hotel description matches the photo.
