Khao Sok Riverside Cottages

The huts looked awesome. We had one incident with the shuttle, they forgot to get us back to the hotel, but except for that it was a nice experience. The jungle, elephants, hot spring. Recommended!

Super cute and quiet place, the whole team is extremely friendly. Shower is not the best but probably due to the hotel being surrenders with nature.

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Riverside Cottages on our way from Bangkok to Krabi. Such a perfect contrast to spend time in the jungle seeing monkeys otters frogs and snakes (from a distance!). The cottages and communal areas are clean comfy and authentic to the environment with all we needed provided for us. The staff were so friendly and produced delicious food and cocktails. We went on a canoe ride down the river and to the elephant sanctuary to feed and bath an elephant. Great focus on ethical practices. We got time to do family things like play cards and laugh in a downpour. Pick up from the airport and delivering us to Krabi was efficient and a comfortable vehicle for the 5 of us. Highly recommended.

Great cabin and excellent staff. The poor review is because of the Khao Sok lake trip. It started at 08:30 with a 2 hour drive to the harbour, followed by 3 hours on the boat (nice scenery) with 20 other people. No information is provided about the park. Finally at 13:30 we got to the floating cabins and got a very poor buffet. Drinks not included. We spend the next 2,5 hours swimming kayaking and hiking for spiders (?) in 36 degrees. Thankfully the return trip took only 2,5 hours.

We did the 2 night 3 day package with one night at the floating bungalows at Khao Sok - we would highly recommend! The rooms in the jungle were amazing and the food was also good. The floating bungalows were equipped with great facilities considering where they were. We got a transfer to Koh samui after - just make sure when you drop your luggage off at the pier you know where it is going! 10/10!

WOW! What can we say about the Riverside Cottages? Within 10 minutes of our arrival we’d already seen a Mangrove Cat Snake gracing us with its acrobatics from the restaurant/reception area balcony. We were in F11 lodge which was perfectly located for all the amenities. Reading other people’s reviews we expected excessive jungle noise in the evening, but we didn’t find this to be the case. Yes, you can hear crickets and chicadas as well as birds but nothing too bad. We also booked on to the overnight lake tour which was INCREDIBLE! A real must and the highlight for us taking a kayak out to a nearby bay and peacefully watching the gibbons and macacs give us our very own insight in to their play and survival in the jungle. Staff amazingly friendly and helpful, everything you need. Remember to take cash as no cards accepted. Frequent free shuttle in to nearby Khao Sok town where you can get a drink or access the National Park.
