Budget Hostels from S$17

"special and peaceful. The rooms are large and comfortable, but there were quite a lot of insects inside the room, which was disturbing at times. The bedding also felt a bit dusty. Breakfast was overall good, with several options to choose from. The hotel restaurant serves lunch and dinner, but the menu is quite limited and does not change, and the food quality is average. The staff is very kind and polite, but seems inexperienced. During meals, plates were not cleared from the table, which made the dining experience less comfortable. The pool is small but nice. The dining area is very warm and there were mosquitoes and flies, which made it less pleasant to sit there. Overall, the location in nature is amazing and the hotel has great potential, but improvements in cleanliness, food service, and comfort would make the stay much better."

"Magical Mountain was incredibly unique and absolutely beautiful! The staff was incredible and a true reflection of a beautiful Thai culture. The location was outstanding for proximity to jungle truck, tourists and kao lak. The pool was outstanding! "

"Lovely staff and nice location by the river. Basic property but nice clean, modern room with almost everything you need.. toiletries, fridge, snacks etc. I would have liked mugs instead of paper cups & some tea bags, there was only coffee. Also water in reusable glass bottles would be better than plastic. Pool was really nice but only open until 7pm and no real shade around it. Food was delicious and I had a really great margarita too! :) quite expensive overall but very nice for a night stay"

"The hotel is located in a beautiful setting, by the side of the river, close to the entrance of the park and the dam. It is also surrounded by a few good restaurants, within a 5-10-minute drive. The owner offered an upgrade to a room with A/C on arrival for a little extra. She was also very helpful with transportation time tables and activity bookings. As expected, the room was a bit rustic but clean and functional. The mattress was stiff, even for Thailand. I straighten my back the first night. All good after that. I would definitely stay again at the Bansuanphutarn on my next visit to this beautiful place! "

"The view of the mountains is nice and the pool was good. Just things to note: both nights I was there they had live music until 10 pm which I could hear from my room. You have to take your key with you which turns off all of the power so my room was always hot when I returned because the A/C had not been running. I had wifi issues that had to be fixed twice. I did not receive any housekeeping service for an 2 night stay. Overall I would classify my stay as “not bad”. "

"Not happy. We booked this hotel as it was close to the Kao Sok National Park. Our flight to Surat Thani was delayed for 1hour which meant we would miss the check-in time. We tried to get in touch with the hotel hours in advance however nobody bothered to pick up the phone, nor could we find a contact email. As a result we had to book a hotel elsewhere in the main city which meant we also travel 1.5hrs each way before and after the day trip. Paid for a room I didn’t even get to use"

"Beds like sleeping on the floor. "

"We had a wonderful experience overall. We upgraded our stay and were very satisfied with the decision. The only aspect that could have been better was the food, particularly the lunch and dinner options."

"Beautiful resort in an excellent location on lake for views, swimming & tours. Swim right from your deck. Staff was wonderful and so friendly and helpful. Chef is incredible! Accommodated our pescatarian diet and enjoyed best food of our trip. Plentiful and delicious. Guide on our boat and cave tours was fun and informative. We got lucky and saw wild elephants and lots of monkeys. So glad we stayed 2 nights to really enjoy this special place. Hope we can come back again someday!"
