We had a single room for 4 with 2 double beds. The room was very big, and very nice, but it was not possible to make it completely dark. The resort is nicely placed on the river side. The pool and hot pool are very nice. It is possible to do activities on the lake for free. The included breakfast was good, though not extraordinary. The restaurant is rather good, though a bit expensive.

When taking a shower, a lot of water was going into the bathroom itself. The resort is very remote, and thus you cannot easily go to another restaurant and have to go to the hotel restaurant, though there is always a taxi available or the hotel can easily provide one for you.

It is a lovely location with beautiful gardens and landscaping. The room we had was functional and spacious. I was particularly drawn to the Weary Dunlop museum which should be of significance to all Australians. I learned there of the relationship between, Dunlop, other ex-pows and Kuhn Kanit (the property owner and patron of the museum). Outstanding stuff plus friendship which brought tears to my eyes. The buffet breakfast was both substantial and appetising. Much appreciated.

There was a problem with no hot water for the shower and there were several problems with the toilet (drainage and the cistern). I let reception know otherwise such maintenance issues can't be rectified. In view of the above patronage I mentioned it was no big deal. I'm used to that when camping in the bush.

The view from the cabin is EVERYTHING. We couldn't find a better view in the entire resort. The onsen with thermal water was surprisingly refreshing despite the 40 degree outside temperature. The warm water somehow made you cool off. At night it's magical! Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Privacy from the room was top tier. Definitely worth the price of the room and the journey to get to the resort. The sounds at night kept us trying to decipher which animal was which. Lots of cute geckos and beautiful birds. This is the only place I regretted not having binoculars! This resort was the highlight of our Thailand trip! The museum was very informative and the gardens of the resort are beautiful. You can tell the place was built with the guest experience in mind!

Tv was only showing Thai channels and no smart tv so we couldn't use it. Although when you're in this place, you're better off without it! The museum could use some fans for airflow and a little sprucing up

great location with history. peaceful but have to take care of bugs, lizards and frogs. friendly staff and feel welcomed. 3 nights would be just minimum to explore near by and extra day need to be at the hotel just enjoy the hot spring pool at the hotel.

it takes 4 hours from Bangkok with Bolt/ grab and could cost about 2500Bath and return to BKK airport took 5 hours and no taxi is available. Hotel transfer cost 4800 bath or else the public transport by buses can be longer. breakfast is average and the restaurant menu is mostly Thai.

There are many, many reasons to love this resort - especially the amazing riverside location and the comfortable rooms. We were very happy that the staff went to great lengths to accommodate our dietary requests (vegetarian / gluten-free), though we were a little disappointed that the breakfast buffet was very meat-dominant, which even regular meat-eaters might find a bit heavy first thing in the morning. We stayed in a private onsen villa, and the room was charming (the view was incredible). Our one and only real negative was that in both the private onsen in the room and the main hot spring pool in the resort (next to the regular swimming pool), chlorine is used in the water. As hot spring enthusiasts (we have travelled to more than a thousand around the world), we have to say that this is exceptionally unusual, entirely unnecessary and also completely negates the beneficial effects of the minerals in the thermal water. Thermal water constantly flowing into (and out of) a pool/tub should have no artifical chemicals added, and none of the nearby local hot springs in the region that we visited were doing this...so I'd encourage the resort to stop using chlorine and allow guests to enjoy a totally natural thermal experience.

Wonderful location. Our room overlooked the river, it was amazing, far better than we expected. Although they spoke very little English, the staff were efficient helpful and friendly. Would recommend 3 nights.

The staff spoke very little English so it was difficult getting advice on getting out and about. Various trips were shown to be on offer but none seemed to be available to book and we ended up hiring a car and a driver to get to The Erawan Falls. We noticed that most people who were there were in small tour groups with their own guide.

Overall this is a great place to stay for a few days. The setting is wonderful and you do feel like you are really in the jungle at times. The rooms are very beautifully decorated and have most of the conveniences you could expect. The bathroom was spacious and the shower is powerful and very welcome after some very (very) hot days in mid-April! There are some really interesting features at this hotel such as the Weary Dunlop museum (all about the Burma, aka 'death', railway) and particularly the Jack Chalker gallery which is unique. The staff were mostly incredibly kind, helpful and efficient and went out of their way to help when they could. The food was decent but not exceptional and I think there could have been a few more non-Thai options.

A common complaint in Thai hotels... The selection of 'Western' food at breakfast was not great. The bread and jam were of the lowest quality and, as usual, the chicken sausages were pretty bad. The coffee could have been better too. In the room the TV was rather small and had no English language channels so pointless for non Thai speakers. We also thought it was rather strange that the main swimming pool had no shallow end (if you were less than about 1.60m you would have trouble standing at all), and we thought there could have been more places to sit and place belongings around the pool area.

A beautiful resort in the middle of the jungle and on the river. It is the perfect place to unwind and relax and listen to the sounds of nature. The hot springs was so relaxing . The staff are amazing and so helpful. I had a minor medical issue in the night and they arranged to take me to the pharmacy in town. They do their best to accommodate and help you with anything. The accommodation was so clean! A good size room and very large bathroom. We had an excellent stay!

Beds are a bit hard but that is to be expected from Asia.

We have visited this resort 4 times and look forward to returning for an even longer stay. Their "Onsen" rooms overlooking the River Kwai are large, comfortable and the private hot tub is very special. The resort is located far off of the road, does not have any barking dog or karaoke, making for one of the quieter experience one can have in Thailand. There is a birdy nature trail, good food in the restaurant with many choices and attentive staff. Thank you for another relaxing visit.

I honestly cannot think of anything.

Our stay at Home Phutoey River Resort was an absolute retreat into nature. The serene sounds of nature—birds chirping and the soothing flow of the river—created a peaceful atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed. The hot springs were a highlight, offering a perfect way to unwind and relax. The experience was so calming that we wished we could have extended our stay to explore more of the activities available. The staff provided excellent service, always attentive and accommodating, which added to the overall positive experience. This resort is a true gem for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge in a tranquil, natural setting. We can't wait to return!

While our stay at Home Phutoey River Resort was mostly enjoyable, we did have a concerning experience. When we inquired about the presence of snakes, we were assured there were none. However, during our time at the viewpoint, while we were enjoying the beautiful river view, we spotted a long snake. This unexpected encounter was quite frightening and dampened our sense of safety. It’s something to be mindful of for future guests who might have similar concerns.
