Art's Riverview Lodge

This was truly a unique experience! We got to live in a treehouse by the river in a beautiful jungle. It’s very quiet and tranquil location and all you can hear is the sound of the water, the chirping of birds and the unmissable ringing of cicadas :D It was beautiful! Shame we didn’t stay longer! The breakfast and food in the restaurant was really tasty and the view and atmosphere from the deck is beautiful. Be aware that there is no air-con in the rooms but there are plenty of fans to keep you cool, so don’t worry about feeling hot. Some may think that the facilities are basic but that is the beauty of it, when else would you get to live in a treehouse! The hotel is nicely isolated but only 5-7min walk from the Khao Sok village where you can find more restaurants, bars, mini markets etc. We would definitely recommend the place that makes crepes (!) they were delicious!

- Incredible food!! We had some of the best Thai food we've had at their restaurant. And the service from the staff was exceptional - We had a beautiful bungalow that had so much jungle character with vines all up the staircase - Great location on the river that's only a 5 minute walk from the main part of the village - Bed was very comfortable for staying in a wooden bungalow

Perfect location in the jungle. Given the other comments I could read maybe a disclaimer: this hotel is in the jungle ! This comes with all the positive : visiting monkeys that come around, incredibly beautiful and natural environment, proximity with the nature, river sound and jungle noise. If you want a perfectly sanitized room then go somewhere else Here you have an authentic stay and must not be afraid of a room without windows, without noise or temperature isolation, without air conditioning. We could see the ground 3 meters below the wooden floor. If you like this style like us then the rooms are charming and actually very comfy, with mosquito nets protecting the beds. Without windows, insects will indeed come, but reasonably. The staff was very arranging as we booked a lot of things last minute. They also helped with creating a very nice program for our stay there. Highlights: the overnight your at the lake and the cooking class. It's actually much more than cooking. The farm is beautiful and located within the mountains not far from the hotel. The lady is very kind, the meals delicious... You will go find your herbs and vegetables in the garden, learn how to do your own coconut milk in a traditional way, and be delighted by the 4 meals you're going to prepare and enjoy in bambus plates.

We have been warmly welcomed and got a lot of help by finding the right activities. Lovely stuff, good food, nice location on the river, beautiful surrounding, amazing Trips to the Jungle & the Lake - BUT be aware of the monkeys, and do not try to "huuush" them away by your own, there is for sure some nice thai guy arround to help you (if you think you are brave enough, you might get frightend as me ;)) We would defenitely recommend the Art's River Lodge!

Extremely beautiful resort and location if you are a nature lover, you find yourselve in a beautiful jungle garden on a river bank with monkeys in the trees and butterflies is the air. Location is quiet exempt for jungle background sound (insects, gekko's and birds)
