I loved the owner and the two dogs (although they barked at me every time i left or arrived on the property 😂). The shower had hot water and there was a bike i could borrow for free. The room itself had a broken toilet seat due to the previous savage guest, but the owner was repairing it when I left. He also brought me to the pier the day of the checkout -free of charge. I would recommend this place for sure :)

Paradise on earth
Fantastic place, surrounded by lush jungle, with beautiful wooden cottages, and a terraced restaurant with great food and a soul-healing view over a river. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended.

No Internet connection, No hot water to take a bath. Suppose you love nature and want to be away from civilization; there is no communication with the outside world. It's an excellent place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

It was awesome listening to the natural jungle symphony, the room was perfect for the location, the only down was that our river view room that was advertised had the river right upfront- it turned out the one advertised as a “river room cottage” was actually the family deluxe river view cottage.

No view of river from riverside cottages (meadow needs mowing in selected places. Cottage basic no screens, monkeys get through windows if left open, fly spray needed in room due to lots mosquitoes and no screens (coils provided but they only deter) no kettle or fridge, but was able to bring back mug hot water to room. Good place for younger travellers.

It was a cool experience but your rooms literally feel like you are apart of the wild life. Any bug or creature goes. You do have a big net but the sounds of the jungle are as if the bird is beside your head. Overall a very unique experience but only for individual okay with extensive wild life.

With regards to the mosquito nets, I am sorry it was torn, and we have just bought new nets for all rooms. We are also having our housekeeping team wipe the floor after each cleaning. We appreciate your input, as it has helped improve the guest experience for everyone :-) Best wishes, Nat

Lovely place, beware of tour operator
Nice place, beautiful suroundings, average food but attentive staff. We undertook their 'Grand Jungle' package and enjoyed most of the activities other than the over night lake trip as unfortunately there were not enough people for Riverside Cottages to run the trip themselves (they state they need a minimum of 8 for this) which meant we were booked on a joint tour with another organisation. There were atleast 45 people on this trip which meant it was very unpersonal, things were rushed, one English speaking guide to manage the whole group. Such a shame as this was meant to be one of the highlights of our stay in Kho Sok.

Great stay in the jungle!
We thought everything about this place was awesome. Great staff and cool spot. I left a 5 for cleanliness with the context that we were in the jungle. The bed was clean, and the room was really nice, but you're in a jungle, you're bound to have some critters visiting! Nice mosiquito net above bed. Restaurant was good too. I thought the food was a little expensive for Thailand, but after going into town it was quite compatible to the rest of Khao Sok. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay at in the jungle...with all that a jungle brings about..such as insects and even a rat in the room. But that s all to be expected in such an area. Restaurant on site offered very good food at decent prices. The owner was very helpful in helpong is choosing the excursions. Loved the elephant retreat one.

Forest retreat
We booked Riverside online, and received an email within a few hours, which was useful because I needed more information about how to get to the accommodation, which they provided me with quickly. We got a public minivan from Krabi which dropped us off on the main road. As per the instructions, I wandered to the corner shop, and the owner gave me a lift down the road to the Cottage. The staff was amazing, and helpfully organised an overnight stay on Cheow Lan lake for us as well as other activities. The food was amazing - had the best fried fish we tasted in Thailand. The ambience was relaxed and the accommodation felt safe

We enjoyed our stay here, it was very good for the price. The view was wonderful, and the room stayed fairly cool despite warm weather. (Choose the riverside room!) It is very much located IN the rain forest, so if that is your goal, you will love this place. Decent prices on food, and very helpful staff for booking tours/transportation.

Familieferie I skønne omgivelser
Khao Sok Riverside Cottages er på mange måder et skønt og autentisk sted. Hytterne er fine, omend lidt primitive. Man bader i koldt vand og hytterne er ikke isolerede, hverken for lyd eller insekter. Restauranten har et overraskende godt udvalg og maden er fin. Serveringspersonalet er ikke ret smilende og imødekommende. Min største anke mod stedet hænger sammen med modtagelsen, hvor de bevidst forsøgte at snyde os for den familiehytte ved floden, som vi havde bestilt. Da jeg påpegede fejlen, forsøgte de at bilde mig ind, at jeg havde fået en familiehytte ved floden, hvilket bestemt ikke var tilfældet. Til sidst erkendte de fejlen og fortalte, at der ikke var flere ledige familiehytte. Det var skuffende at opleve, at de ikke havde styr på det, og at de forsøgte at nare mig i stedet for at indrømme fejlen.

Dear Filip, Thanks for your feedback, and we are glad to hear you enjoyed the quality of our food and our location. I am sorry that you did not have a good experience with the reception staff. I have spoken with them, and they were confused about your booking. Our email staff made a mistake in your reservation which led to the confusion, and we apologize sincerely. As such, they were unaware of the mistake, and thus unclear on how to respond. I apologize for our oversight, and appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us to do a better job.

it was like you stay in the jungle , There was no air conditioning here but even thoung in summer , the weather here was not too hot and with the fans they give us it’s ok but sometime the power went out and you can feel the hot weather then. The hotel restaurant is near by us but it’s taste was not really good , the price was above normal level but I can understand because it was the price for foreigner. The location is near the national park ; you can’t find the hotel by GPS because this will lead us to the wrong place , I suggest you to find the symbol of hotel on the road ; the hotel was in the same side with national park and located at the end of the road in the lane if you come here by driving, you shouldn’t drive too fast because the hotel was next to the stream and at the end of the road ,,there was no fence or symbol or light to warn you that you might fall in to the stream

Prachtig gelegen. Je loopt over verhoogde paden richting je huisje. Niet alle riverside cottages liggen zichtbaar aan de rivier. Er is een free shuttle naar het dorp 3x per dag anders 50b per persoon. Goed ontbijt en restaurant. Via expedia kregen we voor 2 personen gratis ontbijt. ( we waren met zijn vieren) goede Wifi. Bus naar het vliegveld kan aan de receptie geboekt worden voor normale prijzen.

Die Bungalows sind mit einfach aber schön eingerichtet. Sauberkeit ist hervorragend. Es gibt keine AC, was wir nicht als Problem empfunden haben. Die Lage mitten im Dschungel ist für Stadtmenschen möglicher Weise etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wer Probleme mit Geräuschen oder Insekten hat ist hier falsch - allerdings dann generell im Kao Sok Nationalpark. Wir haben es genossen! Das Personal ist hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Ich empfehle eine Tour zum See mit Übernachtung - ein einmaliges Erlebnis! Wir kommen gern wieder!

Abenteuerlich
Hier wo das Hotel liegt gibt es nichts Anderes. Die Hotelanlage liegt ein paar Kilometer vom "Zentrum" entfernt. Dort gibt es Bars und Restaurants. Am Abend wird es ab ca. 22 Uhr immer schwerer um vom "Zentrum" zurück zum Hotel zu gelangen. Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und das Frühstück gut. Die Ausflüge wo man gleich vor Ort buchen kann sind übertrieben teuer finde ich. Das Wasser wechselte im Bungalow oft zwischen klar und Braun-Gelb, eher etwas eklig. Andere Gäste hatten das Problem allerdings nicht. Ich kann das Hotel empfehlen, ist wirklich ein Abenteuer mitten im Dschungel zu nächtigen! Für die wo es wichtig ist: Es hat nur an der Reception WIFI.

Hôtel très au calme, navette gratuite pour le parc
L' hôtel est bien tenu, le staff est super serieux et accueillant. La chambre est un peu roots, elle est au milieu de la jungle, mais propre et spacieuse. Nous avions une chambre standard vue sur le jardin. Une solide moustiquaire vous protègera efficacement des intrus de la nuit, elle est évidemment fournie. Le resto est bien tenu, très bon, et le serveur principal est tout à fait pro. Un service de navette gratuit vous est proposé, le parc est à environ 2 km, et on vient vous chercher au stop des minivans à l'arrivée. Des activités vous seront proposées, malheureusement, comme partout à Kao sok elles sont très chères. Nous avons passé un très bon moment ds cet hôtel.
