Hotel guest reviews

8.8Very good · based on 264 reviews

AI summaryOverall sentiment is very positive—guests repeatedly describe the stay as unique, dreamlike and beautiful, with excellent staff and scenery. Practical negatives (remoteness, value, some room issues) reduce the score slightly but do not overshadow the distinctive positive experience.

  • Cleanliness9.5
    Multiple guests explicitly called the property clean and well-kept; however there are recurring complaints about heavy perfumed laundry smell and polyester bedding, and a toy retaining detergent odor after checkout, so cleanliness is very good but not perfect.
  • Service10
    Numerous reviews praise kind, courteous and helpful staff (special birthday dessert, always smiling, attentive wait staff); isolated negatives (sarcastic receptionist, some poor English and occasional training issues) are repeatedly mentioned but outweighed by consistent positive service experiences in other reviews.
  • Location10
    Location and views are repeatedly described as breathtaking and unique; remoteness and long boat transfers are noted as drawbacks but the dramatic scenery and sense of isolation are standout positives across reviews.
  • Room6.5
    Rooms are described as basic and showing wear: gaps allowing geckos, noisy adjoining rooms (footsteps, banging), and problematic showers (temperature fluctuations). Overall room quality is below the property's upscale image.
  • Amenities9.5
    Good on-board amenities such as kayaks, life jackets, scenic boat rides and unique facilities are frequently mentioned; notable negatives include a neglected pool with safety issues and limited included activities, but overall amenities contribute strongly to the experience.
  • Value for money6.0
    Multiple guests explicitly say value does not match price: overpriced activities, higher add-on costs due to remoteness, and comparisons unfavourable to other floating houses lead to a clear perception of poor value.
  • Food and drink9.5
    Mixed but largely positive: some guests call the food delicious and praise specific drinks (mojitos), while others say the food is merely average or not up to the best in Thailand; on balance many guests enjoyed F&B offerings.

A definite place to put on your bucket list if you can afford it.

the views, food, staff, transport, beds, linen, were impeccable. I highly recommend this as a destination when visiting Thailand. The options of swimming, canoeing, SUP boarding are on your doorstep. and so much more.

The Price was a little steep but it was so good I'm glad I spent the money.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience, the staff is great, food is very good and the kayaking and sweaming was a big fun for us and the kids.

The facilities could be more practical, no fridge and no electric kettle, which was not good for us.

A unique experience, one of the most beautiful places that we’ve been to

The location is amazing, out of this world. The facilities are great.

Rooms small and should be on solar power . Old school generator.

Looked nicer than it was for the money. Almost Maldives prices and had higher expectations

Food was served not at same time. A table of 4 should get food same time. Food poor and made in microwave

Ein außergewöhnlicher Ort, außergewöhnliche Menschen und ein Erlebnis, das wir niemals vergessen werden. ❤️

Eigentlich alles. Die Lage mitten im Khao-Sok-Nationalpark ist absolut außergewöhnlich und kaum in Worte zu fassen. Die Zimmer waren wunderschön und außergewöhnlich sauber, der gesamte Service auf sehr hohem Niveau. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns die Herzlichkeit des gesamten Teams – alle waren unglaublich freundlich, aufmerksam und warmherzig. Unsere Tochter hat sich vom ersten Moment an rundum wohlgefühlt. Ein ganz besonderes Highlight war unsere Tour mit Ava. Sie war so herzlich und liebevoll und hat unseren Ausflug in den Regenwald und zum Wasserfall zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Einfach ganz, ganz toll.

Ganz ehrlich: nichts. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt von Anfang bis Ende genossen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Kein guten Preis-/Leistubgsverhältnis

Tolle Lage, sehr gut zum relaxen. Personal freundlich. Die Kinder liebten es im See zu baden und Kanu zu fahren. Die Kinder fanden die Empore zum schlafen gemütlich.

Unterkunft: die Schwimmwesten, die zum Haus gehörten haben fürchterlich gestunken und wurden anscheinend noch nie gereinigt. Es gab keinerlei Schränke/ ablageflächen für Klamotten. Es gab nur einen Stuhl im Zimmer. Kein Sonnenschirm/Sonnenschutz für draußen. Keine gemütliche Sitzgelegenheit für draußen. Personal: freundlich und bemüht, aber anscheinend schlecht ausgebildet. Geschirr im Restaurant wurde nicht weggeräumt. Teilweise mussten wir über eine Stunde auf das Frühstück warten. Ausflüge und Aktivitäten: absolut überteuert! Essen: das schlechteste Essen was wir auf unserer Thailandreise hatten. Absolut kein guten Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Die lange Anreise hat sich nicht gelohnt!

Zalig geslapen in een drijvend huisje

Unieke ervaring zo slapen in een huisje op het meer in het midden van de jungle. We zijn via een privé longtailboot aangekomen aan dit hotel. Deze boot hebben wij kunnen boeken via het hotel. Alleen al de boottocht naar het hotel is een unieke ervaring : hoe mooi is Khao Sok : niet normaal. De huisjes zijn ruim en de kinderen konden op een verdiep apart slapen. De bedden zijn heel goed en de privé buitendouche is leuk! Ook beschik je over een buitenterras met kano. Wij vonden een eigen kano hebben heel tof. Kano varen rond het resort is een aanrader! Diner en ontbijt zijn lekker.

Tijdens het diner en ontbijt hebben we lang moeten wachten op het eten. Het zwembad viel voor ons wat tegen, kan een opfrisbeurt gebruiken. Misschien tip voor hotel : 's nachts overal de lichten doven zodat we beter naar de sterren kunnen kijken.

Geldverspilling!

De locatie is uniek.

We betaalden meer dan €500 voor een nacht en hiervoor verwacht je toch wel een betere en vriendelijkere service. De boottocht ‘s ochtends was erg onaangenaam want wij zaten in een open boot en kregen hevige koude regenbuien over ons heen. Er werd niet teruggekeerd naar het hotel en er waren geen regencapes ofzo voorzien. Dit leek me nu wel een minimum voor hen om aan te denken, want de dag voordien hadden ze het wel gedaan. Het eten in het restaurant is ook totaal niet veggie of vegan friendly in vergelijking met veel plaatsen in Thailand. We hadden dit nochtans op voorhand gemeld. Er was geen enkel probleem om vegan ontbijt te krijgen volgens hen maar de volgende ochtend bleek het dan toch niet zo evident. We moesten hier heel lang op wachten en waren te laat voor check-out (hier waren ze ook niet flexibel in… we moesten om 10u buiten). Het was de kostelijkste nacht uit mn leven en zou er nooit meer teruggaan. Geldverspilling!

מקום ייחודי, יפה, מטופח ונקי. הצוות מסביר פנים וידידותי. היה לנו אירוע קצת מלחיץ עם הילד והצוות התגייס מיד לעזרה באופן נעים ומכבד. האוכל במסעדה היה טעים ומוצלח

שודרגנו" לחדר שכביכול היה יותר גדול אבל היה מנותק משאר המלון והיינו צריכים להזמין סירה שתבוא כל פעם לקחת ולהחזיר ללובי המרכזי/מסעדה. זה לא נעים להרגיש כל כך מנותק וחסר ספונטניות. החדר שקיבלנו אמנם היה יותר גדול אבל החלק של הילדים היה קטן יותר ובכללי החדר היה דל ובסיסי. המלון יקר מדי
