Take a torch!
The accommodation is very dark even during the day. It’s very basic and tired. Lots of the wood needs replacing. Doesn’t look the photos on the website. Food was very poor Eco due to no electricity but all the shampoo, shower gel etc all go straight into the river? Dodgy floor boards in toilet which smelled of pee when wet. Only 2 sun beds and 2 hammocks per 4 rooms with a potential capacity of 12 people We cut our stay short, not our really our cup of tea

Amazing and beautiful 2 night stay
We had such an amazing 2 night stay at the Jungle rafts. In such an idyllic location on the river kwai which was so picturesque. Was easy to find using a grab from Bangkok then the boat from the pier. We loved feeding the elephant early in the morning. Food provided for breakfast and dinner was delicious authentic thai food and there was plenty. We had a thai sim and there is signal and 5G but also wifi in the breakfast area if needed. We did a boat tour to the cave and Sai Yok waterfalls, which was great day - we joined with another couple to make this cheaper which worked out well! The staff are all friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed a thai massage, mon dancing and a hike to the local mon village. We had no neighbours during our stay so had the whole dock to ourselves with 2 sunbeds, hammock and a table. The only down side was the heat on the first night, it was around 38 degrees in the day and was extremely hot in the bungalows obviously no electricity for fans or AC but it we unbearable we could not sleep, much better on the 2nd night after some rain in the evening to cool down the bungalow - may be worth staying in the cooler months. Also the bungalows are very dark even during the day with just one small battery powered lamp and torch on keys for light, was very difficult to see but manageable. Overall such an amazing experience in Thailand, something a bit different than the usual touristy spots to relax and soak up the beautiful country!

Great for rustic getaway with kids
Your opinion on this place has a LOT to do with your expectations. There are several of these along the river that are more exotic and romantic (more privacy), but this was still a great 1 night experience with our family. It is extremely rustic with thin walls and no electricity. Hard to sleep if you have noisy neighbors. BUT, the easy hike to the neighboring Mon village and seeing the local elephant gives this location an added bonus if you have kids. Food is good and location is clean. Personally, if it was my wife and I, I would have chosen a different location (like Float House), but I would choose this one again if it was with our kids. Also, 1 night was perfect. Not enough to do for multiple nights. Lastly...make sure to jump in the river...best part!!

No internet no phone only the current of the River
Its a relaxing experience 3 days without telephone and internet at a house boat in the River Kwai. 8 pm feels like midnight here. If you leave and you want a taxi or transport at the pier it will take time. Booking transport at The River Kwai Jungle Rafts is extremely expensive. They abuse their monopoly. So try your luck at the pier.

Beauty and Nature
It was a new experience with no electricity as I wasn't aware and didn't read much about the place. Spent three nights. But all went well and the staff were wonderfully amazing. Lots of food and I had to restrict them. Yes I would Like to visit again but... when the weather is cool.

Highly recommend - what a great adventure!
We had a wonderful time here and were sad to leave when the trip was over! We spent the days exploring the nature trails and swimming in the river and the evenings looking at the stars. The hotel staff were so friendly and accommodating of our dietary restrictions. Many thanks to Sam and the rest of the team for making it an unforgettable stay!
