"Absolutely loved this hotel. Was amazing staying in one of the floating rooms on the river and the scenery was so beautiful. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend renting a car as it is about an hour outside of Kanchanaburi city so having your own transport gives you more flexibility "
"Our stay at Hintok River Camp was amazing and mostly positive, it was a great glamping experience at a historically meaningful site.
Pros:
- Very clean rooms and toilets
- Natural pool was clean and refreshing
- Food is generally great and portion is generous
- Kiosk and minimarts nearby to buy snacks / toiletries etc if needed
- Wide selection of excursion trips and boat rentals (The hellfire pass excursion is highly recommended, only costs 600 baht per person; also went for boat trip to sai yok yai waterfall, though a little pricey at 2200 baht per 2 persons, it was a nice free-and-easy trip with decent photo opportunities)
- Free museum about the historical background of the location
- Polite and helpful staff members
Cons:
- Lots of insects (inevitable with glamping in the nature - can purchase insect repellant from the kiosk)
- Food served during dinner could be slightly on the cold side (soups / gravy ones are usually still warm)
- Possible language barrier with some staff members (just needs a little patience or Google translate)"
"Lovely place. The site is spectacular. The staff is friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit. The only downside is that the resort is a four hour plus drive from Bangkok. They say it’s two hours but it’s four hours. Also the food is not great. It’s still a great place."
"This was such a unique stay on our trip to Thailand. The trip down the River Kwai to get to the floatel was peaceful, and turning the river bend to see the floating rafts was a beautiful view. Being amongst nature with wonderful local staff and delicious, simple food combined with the total switch off from the digital world created a recuperative environment for us to relax and recharge.
The local activities were also unique to the area and off the beaten track from what we were used to.
We would happily stay here again!"
"Amazing service from all the staff. They were all really friendly and helpful and even helped us with a late check in (closes at 10pm which we didn’t realise). The breakfast in the morning was amazing and far exceeded our expectations. The restaurant was also really nicely decorated and clean and had an amazing view. The whole resort was very clean and well kept. Our only complaint was that we got a twin room when we booked a double, but due to our late check in we didn’t mind and the room was very comfortable."
