Art's Riverview Lodge

This hotel is simply heaven! We found ourselves in the middle of the rain forest, literally, there were thousands of trees, our bungalow was adorable, like a little hobbit house. We loved the location as the river was right there, so we got plenty of swimming during the stay. Waking up being greeted by the monkeys was a highlight. Note about monkeys: Do not eat on your balcony, do not keep food in your bungalow, do not walk to your bungalow with a bag of chips or snacks, do not open the bathroom windows and windows in the room, only the middle ones... Monkeys are fine if you keep these rules, we took a lot of pictures and videos as they came to visit at least once a day. The staff is quick to intervene if the monkeys get naughty, which was nice!The staff booked us 3 tours, one was a day and night jungle trekking with dinner cooked in the jungle on bamboo by our wonderful guide Bam, I strongly reccomend him as he was very experienced and pointed out tons of hidden animals plus some eadible leaves and berries which we tried during the trekking. This jungle trekking tour was the absolute highlight of our trip, thanks to our guide Bam and the night trekking was terrifying/thrilling, we asolutely loved it! We also did tubbing down the river which was amazing and a one night stay at Khao Sok Lake on a floating bungalow with the most stunning views, all organized by the hotel staff... breakfast was delicious and we sat right by the river every morning. Of course there are a little bit of bugs, mosquitos, etc... What do you expect? You are in the middle of the jungle and that alone is priceless... The fond memories of our stay at the Arts River Lodge will stay in our memories for many years to come... I will definitely return as soon as I can becuase this place is magical!!!

If you want something special and love nature, this place is great :D You can swim in the creek in the morning, near where the monkeys are living in cliff caves...beds are quite comfortable and have mosquito nets, room is filled with fresh air, shower has warm water and huge bathroom...essentially camping but with the worst parts taken out :) Restaurant has amazing food and sauces. Breakfast was a buffet and has Thai/Western food, fresh and good. Facilities were clean and well-lit at night.

The best location in khao sok for anyone looking for the jungle experience!. The charming bungalows are located in the jungle by the river (where you can swim and do tubing), yet still a walking distance from the center. It is so calm and quiet you can hear the birds and monkeys at night. The staff are kind and helpful, and the food in the restaurant was the best we had in khao sok. Breakfast buffet was also very good.

Absolutely amazing scenery in the middle of the jungle! The Lodge is located right next to a huge limestone mountain with a turquoise blue river flowing next to the restaurant. The food was delicious and the prices are amazing too! The treehouses are extremely beautiful and naturally built and I felt very welcome and relaxed. I recommend doing the day trip to kao sok lake and also doing a small hike from the national park HQ which is only a 10-15 minute walk from the lodge. I would recommend this to anyone!

The location was beautiful by the river. The rooms are basic but comfortable, you definitely feel that you are in the jungle! The staff is very helpful and their tours are excellent.
