The property is located in a calm and nice area, in the middle of nature. Having a rented car was definitely an advantage for us, being able to easily get there and also explore the area freely. The area is really nice in terms of nature and people, as it’s not very touristy - this is where we had the most authentic food in Thailand. It’s worth mentioning that we initially booked a family room with garden view (which was a bit rudimental, with bathroom outside in open air), but we had the option to upgrade on site to the room with river view for a small extra price difference which was definitely worth every cent - here we had a private bathroom. Bed was really comfortable.

Location is really remote and getting around without a rented car might not be too fun. Breakfast is really basic and the same every morning, we would not recommend booking it extra. The room with “river view” does not have a nice view, but in our case it came with a private bathroom.

We had a free upgrade to one of the river viewing room The hostess speaks English very well, she was very welcoming and helpful. Quite and in the middle of nature resort

THE DOGS, they are many and so clingy, do not follow orders, do not allow you to fully immerse in the beautiful nature surrounding the resort It is a remote location, for someone who wants to go to the city or have a ride, it would be expensive as non of the delivery apps (indrive, Bolt, grap) cover that area. The hostess helpt us get a ride to the airport but for more price that we are used to.

Baandin Chiewlarn is ideally situated close to the Khao Sok National Park & Rajjaprabha Dam. Breakfast overlooking the river was really nice each fresh brisk morning. The nights are extremely quiet and peaceful. To my surprise the room wi-fi was much faster than what we have in Australian cities. We booked two rooms, they were both very large and comfortable. Various places to go out for dinner which served great meals where only 5 minutes away. Can highly recommend Baandin Chiewlarn

The staff here do a really good job, they take great pride ensuring tourists enjoy there stay so nothing to complain about :)

The room was beautiful with amazing aircon! The outdoor shower was really cool too. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was simple but nice. There are hotel dogs and ducks running around which was really sweet too! There are restaurants about a 10 minute walk away- really cheap and amazing food. Super close to the lake

The outdoor toilet was definitely an acquired taste but cool to experience anyway! Getting taxis to the lake was not easy or cheap. Not the hotels fault but worth baring in mind

Beautiful relaxing view. They have a fishing pond for 100 Thai Bat to fish in. My son loved it for killing time. The staff were all very kind, friendly and generous. It was easy to walk to the extension bridge to see Heart Mountain and an amazing Buddhist Monastery next to it, and lovely affordable cafe's. They easily set up Taxis and Tuk Tuk's for us, along with local recommendations. We went to the local family swimming area that was very beautiful and cooling.

The breakfast that they offered could be beefed up a bit, it's just a basic egg and toast breafast. It's easy to walk to cafe's though.

Very thoughtfully designed and built rooms. Even a 5-star hotel wouldn't compare to these beautiful rooms - each of which has its own sit out area by the river. Some of the rooms have an outdoor washroom which might just be the most beautiful bathroom you have used in your life.

A few bathroom fittings might need fixing / more maintenance.

A lovely hotel off the beaten track, my bungalow was spacious and clean with an outside bathroom which added to the charm.

I arrived about 5pm and there was nowhere to get food on site so I had to walk a fair distance to the nearest restaurant. It was dark by the time I'd finished eating and luckily the owner arranged a lift for me to get back as we were in the jungle so maybe not safe to be walking round in the dark.

The hosts were super friendly. They upgraded us to a bigger room which was free. The room had everything you needed. The location is a bit remote and there are no supermarkets around, but there are a couple of nice restaurants and the forest nature was perfect for our one-day stop.

We upgraded to the river view room and loved it. staff were very welcoming and very helpful with questions and directions. Location is very close to Chiewlarn pier where you can organize a private boat tour of the lake for cheaper than an organized tour.

Transportation is not readily available and expensive if you don’t have a a rented car or motor bike.

We have been upgraded to river view for free. Great comfortable room. Little balcony. Luxurious garden. Nice breakfast on the main terrace. Nice staff. Beautiful location. Parking and safe area. No restaurant for dinner.
