Great friendly lodge”

The staff here are excellent, rooms are big and bathroom very modern

We had an excellent stay here. The staff are excellent! Very helpful. There is not much around here to do other than the park but the lodges are very relaxing with great river views. Our room had a really nice veranda overlooking the river. It was very peaceful. Obviously it is very much in with nature so expect frogs and bugs in the room. But it is very clean and the mosquito nets are great! Would highly recommend staying here as it is great value for money. The only negative point is that the menu for the restaurant does not have much choice, but I love rice so I can't complain.

Super good value!”

Only planned to stay for one night, but quickly changed it to two, as it was all our time budget could afford. Super friendly staff, that makes that extra effort for you, to feel the most comfy. Received a lovely welcome drink at check in. The bamboo hut was super nice! Very cozy, ok bed, and our hut had a Terrasse right on the river. Very beautiful place to chill in the hammock they also provided. The included breakfast was ok, and came with a drink after choice. - smoothie, coffee, juice etc. The restaurant was pretty good and had very reasonable prices. Location is perfect to explore all the tours that are available in the area, as there is a bear/monkey sanctuary at the other side of the river, along with the national park. A few cons: - the bamboo hut was with very thin walls, so you can hear all the other visitors, which in our case wasn’t a problem at all, since all were acting respectfully. As you can hear the noises from the jungle as well, it’s actually a pretty nice experience. The gibbons in the jungle started to sing around 6 in the morning which I would say, is definitely an experience worth waking up for. - roosters.. not only the gibbons like to sing in the morning. There is chicken walking about the area freely, which is very nice until a rooster decides to sit 2 meters away from your bed, behind the thin walls and scream at the top of its lungs at 5,30. - Bathroom was not super good. Very primitive plumbing, but there was hot water, which is nice. I would definitely recommend this stay! Especially if you like being close to nature. Beautiful and cozy.

Brilliant value for money- staff are beyond efficient and helpful organizing taxis and transport to and from drop off point. Bungalows basic but functional comfy beds, hot showers and river view. Choice of breakfast and well priced evening meals some are better than others but plenty of choice. Great location as 2 minutes away from park entrance and free use of bikes. Would love to repeat our very relaxing 4 night stay

Place is located in a very peaceful setting next to the river with mountain and forest views. Bungalows are very specasious and clean. The value for money you get is insane as you get really nice free breakfast and they even give you lunch package if you're heading into the park. Gorgeous place with very nice staff and perfect location! 10/10
