9.1Exceptional · based on 538 reviews

AI summaryMajority of reviews describe an excellent, relaxing stay with beautiful setting and helpful staff; isolated negative experiences (noise, cleanliness) do not dominate the overall sentiment.

  • Cleanliness7.4
    Several reviewers reported unpleasant bathroom smells, bathrooms not clean, and insects/lizards in rooms; cleanliness is a noted weakness despite some positive impressions.
  • Service10
    Multiple mentions of very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, complimentary upgrade and attentive service; overall service is a standout feature.
  • Location10
    Frequently praised riverfront location and peaceful, secluded setting — repeatedly described as a highlight of the stay.
  • Room8.4
    Rooms and villas are modern and well designed with private pools for many guests, but some reports of tired rooms, a room on an angle, noisy AC and bad shower smells reduce the score.
  • Amenities8.8
    Strong amenities noted (private pools, partial free minibar, afternoon tea), but some concerns about maintenance and safety of equipment (old kayak, no lifeguards) were raised.
  • Value for money8.6
    Many guests felt the experience was worthwhile (upgrades, great location), yet a few mentioned disappointment relative to price due to noise, smells or maintenance issues.
  • Food and drink9.8
    Breakfast and food receive consistently positive comments; several reviews single out the breakfast as particularly good.

Very Unique atmosphere, aesthetically pleasing and interesting in a such rural beauty environment - amazing resort! Stuff was lovely, restaurant and pool were perfect!

Nothing!

Quite place for relaxing. Nice river and mountain view. Nice swimming pool. Breakfast was good.

Far away from the city and main attractions and restaurants. Rooms and facilities need to be renovated. The price is quite high compared to other hotels. It's a value for money? This is the question.

the resort itself is beautiful, but the rooms need much better maintenance.

Beautiful and peaceful surroundings right on the river, and the staff are wonderful and very friendly.

the location is quite isolated. Restaurants, supermarkets and other amenities are around 11 km away, and getting a taxi can sometimes take quite a while. Unfortunately, our room had a strong damp/musty smell, visible mould in the bathroom and a very dirty air-conditioning unit. We both became unwell with severe headaches, and I developed irritated airways and a heavy cough. We suspect the damp conditions, mould and dirty air conditioning may have contributed, although of course we cannot prove this. Only afterwards did we notice several reviews from other guests reporting similar issues and becoming unwell, which is concerning. A real shame because the resort itself is beautiful, but the rooms need much better maintenance. In our experience, this was not the standard we expected from a 5-star property.

Peaceful-serenity on the river.

The hotel is in a wonderful location, a bit out of town so you need a car, but quiet and peaceful as a result. The rooms are funky and fun. The restaurant was really great and the staff fantastic.

Our only gripes were the rooms were impossible to get really dark at night (but they did provide eye masks) and there are only 4 bikes and 2 kayaks, so if you want to go as a family cycling or kayaking you need to split up...

Une architecture qui dénote, des chambres spacieuses et extrêmement bien équipées. Literie au top, tout est pensé pour passer un bon séjour. Très bonne restauration et personnel au petit soin.

Vue magnifique, chambre super confort. Loin de tout mais c'est ça qui est sympa ;-)

La vue sur la riviere Kwai est magnifique, de la chambre comme de la piscine et de la terrasse. Les chambres sont vraiment agréables, spacieuses, lit ultra confortable, salle de bain super. Salon d'accueil exterieur très sympa. Terrasse pour petit déjeuner super. Massages de bonne qualité. Endroit reposant.

La salle de restaurant n'est pas très agréable et ne vaut pas un 5*. Assez bruyante et dans un style industriel, elle manque un peut de confort et n'est pas cosy. Pas assez de variétés "internationales" proposé au petit déjeuner : obligé de commander une des formules, principalement que du salé, à part la gaufre qui était très bonne avec les oeufs et le bacon, mais j'aurais apprécié de pouvoir changer de formule sur nos 3 petits déjeuners. Spa très sympa mais la vue de la salle de massage pourrait etre mieux aménagée. Manque une salle de sport. Hotel très éloigné de tout et leur service de taxi coute une blinde. Aucun grab dispo autour donc obligé d'utiliser leur taxi pour partir de l'hotel. je vous conseille de trouver un numéro de taxi en ville, de prendre son numéro, et de négocier avec lui vos AR sur votre séjour.
