    Restaurant closed from 7.30pm until 8.30am! No swimming pool (typical resort).

    Very good resort (more basic than a hotel). On a river where you can swim, but BE CAREFUL as the water flow gets much stronger when they open the sluices from the nearby electric dam!! Beautiful location.

    The property was wants you would expect for the price . The staff were good but felt they tried to over charge on the boat trip activities. We paid less than half by going to the lake side .

    Peaceful location / simple set up the setting was nice and next the the small suspension bridge , breakfast was adequate and enjoyed the restaurant location

    Very expensive for what you get. Expensive restaurant on site too! No kettle, rooms need TLC and bathroom wasn’t clean. A horrendous breakfast!! One of the worst we have had travelling. Tours arranged through the camp arrive much earlier than you are told, this is something other guests experienced, tour operators are extremely rude when they arrive half an hour early and shout at you to be ready after banging on your door… Not impressed… A couple of minutes up the road is a hotel called The Belong Jin the Dam resort. We went there to finish off our stay. It was cheaper, clean, had excellent food and service, lovely room, private pool. It was delightful!

    Beautiful location, surrounded by nature, close to main roads and shops if needed.

    I can’t say there was anything I disliked about the property, however, I will say that this place is in the nature so there is a chance you will see a gecko or a bug in your bathroom or bedroom. This is bother us, but I can imagine that might bother some. For us it was kind of the point and we accept that living in nature means just that.

    A great place if you want to get off the grid a bit. Very low-key and relaxing.

    The resort is located in the middle of nowhere. Car / motorbike is a must if you stay here. Reception workers are open to help you get a taxi tho.

    Really nice open air infraestructure, with nice and relaxing views, cozy, silent. Well thought rooms, toilet and bathrooms.

    The room is older than the photo and has many bugs. The day I have been there has raining, and no one cleans the terrace that is slip and dangerous when you walk. And no room service, which means if you need to order food to eat in your room, you must pick it up by yourself

    Natural/ food is delicious (dinner) nice staff

    The bed mattress was hard and only 1 pillow per person (call me soft but I prefer 2!) and I'm English so I like good coffee and tea making facilities in the room and they had none to my hungover shock

    A wonderful little hotel with just a few bungalow stilts style detached rooms and a nice sized restaurant. It's always quiet because there are so few rooms. Chiewlan Camp and Resort sits riverside and down stream from Khao Sok National Park and immediately on the south bank is a sheer limestone cliff. Watch closely and the cliff is alive with a troop of monkeys going about their day. We had just finished an excellent dinner and the sun was setting and then it began to rain, hard enough that we couldn't leave the bar to get to the bungalow but not hard enough that we had to leave the bar. The sound of the rain on the roof, the flow of the wide river and the dramatic scenery which was alive with movement made for a rare moment of perfect relaxation.

    Room is small for a family of 6. Doable but small. The bunk beds are not comfortable. Bathroom is large but the water pressure is really weak and it connects to the outdoor so there were insects and geckos in the bathroom.

    Rooms are quite small for a family of 6. Nice being right next to the river. The activities along the river is fun and the staffs are really friendly and accomodating.

    The place is quite far away from everything. There is no possibility to rent a motorbike, so you are kind of stucked. The price ratio performance of the restaurant is just NOT good. The staff unfortunately seems to be quite unmotivated and grumpy. There is maximum only one person speaking english. We did not felt very welcome.

    The river and the surrounding was beautiful. The rooms were clean and cleaned everyday.

    Very nice location in nature, close to pier for Khao Sok National park

    The maintenance is not great. One patron stepped into a steel nail that was sticking out from the floor in the restaurant area and cut his foot open. Some people arrived in the afternoon on the riverbed on the premises to socialise and left all their garbage, leftover food and empty bottles everywhere. The resort staff did not clean it up and it was still there by the time we checked out. There was a wasp nest in the bathroom and the dustbin was not cleaned out.

    The location was really beautiful on the river. We even saw some gibbons (monkeys) that came down from the cliffs to drink water from the river. The beds were firm and the air conditioning was effective. The staff were friendly, but no one understands any English. The wifi was okay. It was close to the pier at Khao Sok National Park and a quick transfer to get there.

    over priced: For 100USD 1. Room are old worn down with lots of holes. So you get all kind of insects in the room 2. Front door can not be locked 3. no curtain for shower 4. no hair dryer. 5. stupid small direct sale only TV Garden: no grass area as in the pictures. Overgrown tress all over the place “like a left over jungle” not a garden Resort: Dark and miserable. Poor lighting Service: no service what so ever. carry your own bag and they never respond my e-mail nor phone call Food: Bad taste and expensive.

    location was nice by the river

    Not worth the price of a luxurious accommodation. And it's non cancellable, so we practically left the property after 1 day, even though we booked for 3 day 2 nights. Not much facilities and activities available on the property.
