This property is such an interesting place. I have to say the room you get can make or break your experience not just here but on the entire island. First of all on arrival, it's actually quite well organized. You should have someone with a sign waiting on the pier with the name of the resort on a placard. Then you take a little longtail boat to the resort. The checkin process is quick easy and efficient and they have people who help take your bags to the room. The reason for this is because you'll have a quick jungle trek to your room of choice. We asked for a quiet room and probably got one of the best rooms on the resort since it was really close to love beach and it was a little isolated from the noise of the boats coming and going. ONE thing that bears mentioning is that at this point you're probably going to wonder where the heck have you arrived and what are you going to do now. But the resort is actually very walkable if you ask staff. You can walk into town and also to long beach so you're not really cut off from the rest of the island. When we first arrived we had a bit of a sinking feeling but then once we realized it was easily walkable then we immediately felt much much better about our choice. IF you have any mobility issues though please think twice. Finally the rooms themselves were nice and cute and full of character. Not in a negative way but it definitely felt kind of cool and funky in a nice way. The TV worked well and you had the option to watch netf

Great location. While the hotel itself is in a very quiet area, it's a quick 15 minute walk to get into town. We enjoyed having the option to relax on our peaceful beach, or to hit the town and all the great restaurants and bars. The only reason for the 4 star rating is the air conditioning. We completely understand the importance of saving electricity, and like all the hotels we visited in Thailand, it's your room key that gives you electricity, including the air conditioning. Seeing as the rooms are individual huts (very beautiful), there is no central AC like you would have in a big hotel. The result is an unbearable hot sauna every time you get back to the room. We left the windows and patio doors open with the screens closed to try and keep the place somewhat cool, but there is very little wind, and every evening we were melting as we tried to get to sleep. Throughout the night, the air conditioning would eventually cool the place down, but only after several hours. I know this isn't a problem with the hotel, but I think it's important to point out for those who do not endure the heat so well.

Fun little treehouse style resort with private beach. Transportation to and from town is somewhat an issue. They say it is a 25 min easy walk but it is not easy. You need to hire a scooter which is 200 baht per person. The food at the resort restaurant is priced well so not really an issue unless you have a tour or want to go to town. The beach is wonderful and not packed with people. We would definitely return.

Loved this resort! It’s very private and has a beautiful beach, reasonably priced food and drinks and our 3 bedroom 3 bathroom cabin was absolutely beautiful. The walk to town (a must do) takes about 20 minutes but you can also take the resort’s private longboat for free. My daughter felt very safe at night when walking alone.

We stayed at the Viking Nature Resort for one night on our honeymoon and had an amazing time. We took the complimentary boat over from the main pier and they gave us an incredible room with a huge porch, hammock and ocean view which we did not expect. They decorated the room for our honeymoon and the staff were super kind and helpful. The beach is beautiful and feels super secluded. Despite what google maps says, there is an an easy 15 minute walk to the popping part of town. They also have massages on the beach with great prices. This is a hidden gem and highly recommended!

My friends and I had an incredible experience at the Viking Nature Resort. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They helped organize a perfect snorkeling tour with pickup/drop off at the resorts private beach. The restaurant menu has a lot to offer and everything we ordered was great. We did not dine out anywhere else on the island because it was so convenient. The walk into town takes 20-25 minutes but it’s a nice walk right along the coast and beaches. We loved the grand villa and really enjoyed our stay!

This was a special stay for our 29th wedding anniversary. We chose it for its uniqueness, beauty, and privacy, and it far surpassed our expectations! The room we were given was just above the lobby and restaurant, which over looked the beach, was both private and close proximity for convenience. The bungalow was huge and comfortable. Very well stocked with amenities. We really enjoyed our stay!

Loved the location, the beaches, the walk to town. The long tail drops you off on the sand and you walk off the sand into reception. We could open our bathroom window and see the sea. Also loved the hammock and the pot with scoop to wash your feet. Staff carried our bag so far up the hill we felt bad. Will definitely go back.

Quiet and peaceful, we felt very close to nature! We also loved the location and amenities of our room (we had a bungalow facing the sea). However, the room didn’t feel very clean (the rugs didn’t look like they had been washed and there were some bugs in the washroom. Additionally the mattress seemed a bit old and smelt a bit of old sweat. Overall it’s a lovely place if you want peace and quiet away from the tourist frenzy.

This was just what we hoped for. Our room was small, but that was okay. We had sea views and a little private balcony with a hammock. You’re right in the jungle, which we loved. The walk to town is fine, when the tide is out you can go all the way along the beach. Scope out the “inland” route in the day before trying to do it at night! The resorts beach is beautiful and Long beach is a very short walk away.

Terrible experience
Me and my wife got serious food poisoning after diner in hotel restaurant. Half an hour after meal both of us started vomiting ang got diarrhea. It was so serious that we moved to the hospital where we spent 2,5 days with high fever 39,5 C.! After just 8 hours after meal we were so exhausted that couldn't stand or feet. So at 4 am I woke up a stuff member in reception, where he was sleeping. Asked him to call a boat to take us to the hospital. He was not happy that I woke him up, very sleepy, said to me that it is impossible (?!). After a few minutes he agreed to call somebody and charged me double price for transfer to WorldMed hospital. Anyway, all transfers by boat to town are not for free, you need to pay in reception what is not ok in my opinion. Other option is a 30 minutes walk across the rain forest with wild monkeys, very dangerous after getting dark. My wife was in such a terrible state that I had to carry her from a boat to the hospital. After 2 days straight from hospital still with cannula in my vein I came back to check out from hotel, my wife was still in hospital. I was ask to pay for my last diner even after I said we are in a hospital after that meal. And for 2 bottles of water from room (even with fact that we missed 3 breakfast...). We made a mess in the toilet when we got sick, after 2 days it was still dirty and not cleaned... Room the same. Dirty tables in restaurant.

Check out was 27.01.2023, lady in reception started laughing when I said we spent last 2 days in a hospital... Terrible experience, first time in my life and I travel a lot. Avoid this place if you don't want your holiday change to a nightmare.

Very nice cute hotel. Bring extra baht because they charge for EVERYTHING! Nothing is included. No entertainment and shopping takes a long tail boat 100 baht per person to even get to. There is food there but more then a few days you’d get really sick of the deep fried food.

Stunning resort with fabulous views, off grid feel
Stunning location with stunning accommodation. Vicking will pick you up from Tonsai pier at your arrival and you will arrive by boat to their resort. What a place and what a fantastic way to arrive to their private beach. Our accommodation was by far the best in our trip. Terrace with a view of the Andaman Sea. We had a special guest appearance (3 monkeys got into our room and helped themselves with sugar and fanta in the fridge: just remember to close the bedroom door as they will find their way to grab food) . In fairness after that, no need to go on Monkey island 😉 Great meals , great staff. Possibility to rent snorkling equipment and kayaks. Access to Long beach (5 min) and town (10 min) and free taxi boat organised throughout the day. Outside the hours, it will only cost you £2.50 to go to town by tail boat. I would highly recommend this resort. No swimming pool , just a fabulous beach to yourself.

The Viking Nature Resort was one of the highlights of our trip. We were met at the ferry, helped onto a long boat, and taken to Viking. The staff greeted us and after check in, carried out bags to our cabin. We were in the Standard Cabin and it was much more than we expected. It is rustic, but we loved that about the place. The only downside was the long tail boats continuous noise throughout the day. Other than that is was great.

Nature resort
Stayed here with my husband and another couple. If you come in knowing it is a NATURE resort and will be seeing bugs/cockroaches and the toilet water will be yellow then your stay will be much better. The hotel and the room was clean. The AC worked beautifully. Will need to get a water boat taxi if you to town. Otherwise it’s a 30 min walk up and down hills. This hotel is for those who want to be in nature and really immerse in the island life but still have the comforts of the 21st century.

The bungalow was great and clean, in a very relaxing spot. Really liked the breakfast, lots of options and the ones I tried were good. Also, they had a free tasting of Thai food every night and the choices were very good. Amazing beach. The resort has a tour agency if you want to go on some tours. There was a couple of workers that were really really nice, but most of the staff acted as if it was annoying having to deal with us. They were efficient though!

This place is beautiful! Htet (one of the employees) took really good care of us. Some of the villas are up a fairly steep hill so if you have mobility issues that could be a problem. The beach is absolutely amazing! The food is more than reasonabley priced and everything we had was good. The breakfast buffet is limited but it’s also a small resort and again everything we ate was good. Water taxi to town is 100 Baht per person and the ride in isn’t long at all. Walking to town takes quiet a bit of time and if you’re like me and have a couple of drinks it can be a bit much. All in all it was a great experience and I wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Not all it was hyped up to be.
I paid for a/c in my room, it wasn’t a/c. On Phi phi in December that’s horrid. The front desk gal was rude about boat taxis and accommodations. The breakfast is not awesome, and all of the buffet breakfasts on Phi phi are pretty standard and good. If you are looking for comfort, clean and reliable this isn’t the place. More like camping. It’s a beautiful place with unique rooms. Just not what it’s hyped up to be.

Excellent place to stay!
Free hotel transfer from the pier on arrival. the location of the resort is excellent, away from the main crowd in town, with a small beach. it is about 20mins walk into town which is easy, the resort itself was built on a small hill with some steps to climb but you would appreciate the nature, the only problem is mosquitoes! buffet breakfast was good with enough options to choose from but wasn't included in the room rate. I would stay here again if I ever go back to phi phi!
