    There was nothing I didn't like. It was overall a great experience.

    The family who run the resort were so very welcoming and helpful. If you love nature and being away from the usual tourist spots you will love it here. The food was also delicious and was made and served with a lot of love.

    The location and the landscaping work done by Son and his family to make this place a resort in a natural setting is amazing. From a stream a pond has been created, so that the guests can sit at the lounge and watch the fish, or a water monitor silently gliding in the water, egrets and pond herons flying through the trees, or a sunbird enjoying the nectar of a banana flower. A member of the family keeps a collection of caged bulbuls. They are twittering and chattering all the time, making the guest feel he is in the jungle. A rural touch is the handsome bull kept in the yard by the pond. The creek provides for a habitat to a great variety of colorful butterflies. All the area in and around the resort offer opportunities for birdwatchers. The slope where the bungalows are is next to a rubber plantation and faces a limestone cliff covered with forest. The bungalow are well separated one from the other and the garden is made of a varieties of trees, almost like a botanical garden. At the top of the slope there is a small pool where one can refresh in the green, watching the forest covered hills. The night is full of sounds of the forest. What makes this place unique is its secluded position, the careful landscaping and the hospitality of Sun, Chop and their family. Special people. The food is good and the atmosphere is cheerful and relaxed. I spent here two most enjoyable days, just walking around the resort and chilling at the lounge. This is a place where the concepts of hours and days evaporate and fade away.

    Nothing!

    This stay felt more like a homestay that a resort! The scenery was stunning, the resort looks out onto limestone cliffs. There were easily accessible short walks from the property. The cabin was fitted with a mosquito net and bathroom. The resort has a fresh water pool which was great for cooling off from the hot sun! The restaurant served delicious food at a good price and the staff (Son, Chop and family) were so accommodating they felt like family!

    Mozzies love me and that's the only thing that I didn't like both me and my son got quite badly bitten until I started wearing socks and sandals as the sun went down.... that's nothing the resort could help me with 😬

    We loved everything about it, the owners are fabulous, we felt like we were at home and well cared for and our kids loved the natural pool and we spent hours looking at the insects, geckos and toads... food was lovely too 😍

    Ants around front door, cockroaches in my bathroom. Shower not very powerful but adequate.

    Close to hiking routes, all meals can be bought on site, no need to go anywhere. Host makes it feel like a home stay. Basic facilities but just what is needed and well thought out extras like a hammock, table+ chairs, bench.

    Unfortunately, the mattress was too hard for us, as we are used to softer ones.

    We really enjoyed our stay in this resort. It was so beautiful to be surrounded by jungle and being able to explore it. We took walks during the day and went looking for wildlife during the night. We found frogs, spiders, geckos, snakes, stick insects… We also had a few visitors in our bungalow, for example geckos that stayed in the roof. Sometimes you can hear them and of course other sounds from the jungle, we loved it! Of course we also had some insects in our bungalow from time to time, but way less than expected! The mosquito net gave us a lot of comfort during the night. The resort is run by a family and all of them were so kind and helpful! As the location is remote, we always ate at the resort. The food was great and the prices were good.

    We had the most amazing memorable stay at the mountain resort 😁. The location is so beautiful set beneath a massive beautiful mountain in serene gardens in a cute private bungalow. And that's not even the best bit ! The owners Moma Chop and Son are the warmest most loving people and have made us fall in love with the place and will be returning to this dream land some time in the future for sure ! Off the beaten track for some authentic Thai vibes and amazing family made food ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    The signage to locate the property needs to be corrected to avoid delays, and the staff should avoid smoking where guests are eating.

    Food at every meal was excellent and the owners are delightful and accommodating. Had the best curry dish of my life at this property. Hopefully, they continue to recover from the covid setbacks so they can offer this beautiful property to more people.

    All was great, you shall only consider it is quite remote location, nothing around. The bathroom is bit older and usual as in this type of accomodation in Thailand meaning that the shower is not separated from the rest, but we got used to it.

    Great location in the national.park. Very calm and really nicely entertained gardens and comfortable bungalows. You wake up with the sounds of the jungle and see all kind of flowers and fruit trees around. Son and his family were really nice and helped with all we needed, including booking a car with driver for a daily trip. The restaurant is in a nice setting with reasonable prices and big portions (you may try also the desert - bananas in coconut milk which kids adored;) personally I also appreciate the fact that the wifi is only at the reception so namely teenagers get disconnected for a moment;) The bungalows are simple but big and comfortable, with big terrace from where you can enjoy the surrounding nature.

    There wasn’t much to complain about, there were even almost no mosquitos in the region around the bungalow we stayed in. We stayed two weeks and only didn’t like that we couldn’t stay longer!!!

    Beautiful quiet location with an exceptional restaurant, spacious and clean accomodation, and pleasant, responsive hosts. The food is really good and sourced primarily from the resort’s own garden. There are many pleasant walks through the hills, as well as a natural jungle pool to cool off in. The property is very well maintained and gardened, you can tell that the family that owns and runs Phanom Bencha really cares.

    There was a big spider in our room but it was not a problem since most of the insects there are harmless, we told The owner of the place - Son and he immediately came to capture it.

    Amazing place, Very quiet and great wildlife view, The rooms are clean and equipped with a mosquito net, The owners were so nice and helped us with everything we needed, they have a restaurant with a wide variety of foods to choose from, They even have a beautiful natural pool that you can swim in!
