    Great for a one to two night stay. Otherwise, not much else to do.

    Activities offered by the hotel come at a hefty price tag. Sometimes transportation is not even included. Otherwise, there’s not much to do since you are living in a very remote area. For free, you can visit an actual Mon village and pay a 300 thb fee to explore Lawa cave. You have to pay for a private longboat charter if you want to visit elsewhere (1,000 thb).

    A therapeutic retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. You feel like you are in a 4-star resort, but it’s hard to believe that you’re in the middle of nowhere (on a floating house with water flowing beneath your floorboards!).

    A stunning location, beautiful hotel with fantastic staff. The food and service was second to none. The staff were beyond helpful - couldn't do enough to make sure our stay was fantastic. A very unique experience having to get to and from the hotel by boat.

    There was a lot of steps to reach the property from the car park. if travelling with elderly/ babies/ mobility issues- I definitely recommend arriving by boat instead.

    The staff were ready to greet us on arrival, and direct us down to the property. The view was incredible, and the property was beautiful both in the communal areas and the rooms.

    We didn't have hot water in the shower, but we didn't mind, so we never mentioned it. Shower in need of some maintenance. Excursions and transport offered by the Floathouse are very extensieve, but staff is very helpfull in arranging somerhing else when you ask.

    The bungalows and surroundings are amazing. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. Food (a la carte) was good. You can use the pool from a nearby resort. We wanted to visit Erawan falls but due to bad weather in previous days the falls were closed. We loved our stay so much, we didn't even mind..

    The television had very poor reception but this was not significant.....who wants to watch television when you are surrounded by such spectacular natural beauty.

    Breakfast was excellent. A really good choice of food well cooked and served.

    We did not swim in the river. The water from the bathroom sink / shower flows straight into the river. We found it to be a bit overpriced for what it is.

    If you don't travel by car, you are pretty much stuck at the hotel – but it is a nice place to be stuck and chill. The food was good.

    In a 4 star hotel on the river, what you wash at the shower goes into the river. First I thought that they might have some cosmetics, toothpastes that are naturalna. But, they have normal cosmetics and whatever you bring into the shower goes into the River. This I really can not understand and with such a hotel with this price this is unacceptable. So, no environment care. Whats a pitty. Our dinner was ok not amazing, tom yum soup was very European style. Cleanes, espacially in the shower room was very bed, looked like noone cleaned for a long time.

    Amazing nature around, extraordinary experience. Very big and comfortable rooms. Free boat pick up from pier.

    It was expensive to get there and back from the capital.

    A perfectly peaceful location to relax and look out over the River Kwai. A lovely break from the capital. Breakfast could be better but the rest of the menu was great. Staff were very helpful and the massages overlooking the water were heavenly.

    There is no filtered water available, so you have to buy the bottled water. It's not easy to get to if you don't have a car and transfers from Bangkok are quite expensive. The food at the restaurant is okay (not bad, but also not anything special).

    Very clean and spacious bungalows, great to relax for a couple of days. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Free bikes are available to use and the pool at the hotel next to the FloatHouse is available for free.

    The property is dated. Some of the locks needs to be replaced, you have to toggle with them for sometime to open and close the doors. shampoo/shower gel containers that are provided are damaged. for example the shower gel pump in my room (12A) was missing its pump and the sink is cracked. These may be minor things but it’s important that the hotel needs to look into as it affects the overall representation and feel for the guests.

    It was peaceful and relaxing. Staff were polite and helpful. Great service.
