Bed was hard our back hurts. The room was dusty and misty. The curtains were torn. Two pillows were thin. Not enough lights in the room or outside area.

It’s nice but it’s a bit run down. I’d say it’s more a 3 star with nice service. Breakfast could be better but we didn’t prepay so only did it once. It is secluded but close enough to easily get a ride. Staff are great which we find to be true all over Thailand

Do not pick this hotel based on the photos. As others have mentioned. The property today does not match those images. It is very run down. Our room had a broken shower head that leaked water everywhere. Plus you could not change the temperature on either the shower or hand basin. It came out boiling hot. Its a shame as the property has so much potential if it was maintained and upgraded. Having said that if you are aware of what you are getting, then its not the worst place to stay. Staff are lovely and super helpful.

Badly in need of renovations. Dirty shower curtains, hard and old mattress—very uncomfortable. Staff are nice and try to manage as much as they can

A nice rural hotel which needs some TLC
A nice hotel in a quiet rural area. The rooms were clean and we were a large group of friends with several rooms. Some were older than others and other reviews said that the lodges were a lot nicer but our rooms were good value. The hotel is quite far out of town and the pool was closed for maintenance. Clearly the pandemic has meant that certain things can’t be updated as the gym was very old and musty and the breakfast and breakfast room need updating. I would stay here again but it would be nice if the site was better maintained although I understand in the present circumstances this is difficult. We paid to go to a big hotel on the last day so we could use a pool so it might have been nice if the staff had offered something complimentary to compensate for the fact the facilities couldn’t be used- when guests are scarce it pays to look after them.

It is an older resort property, but kept up nicely and the staff are so friendly and eager to help with anything that you need. I stayed in the basic level room which was very nice, but they also have cute little bungalows that have bath tubs that I would book if I were to stay there again. Restaurant on site with delicious food. Very happy with this property.

Staff was friendly but have not been trained to inform or interact with guests.
The facility has been build once and never invested money again to fix anything.
The place is a mass tourist housing for tours. The food was the worst I had so far in Thailand. There is no love in that place, only squeezing out the very last bit.
