Khao Sok Valley Lodge

Beautiful rooms but beware of booking problems”

I booked this resort for 5 nights. It is small resort, 5 bungalows only. Only one from them is cheaper and suitable for solo traveler if you don't want to book bigger bungalow all for yourself. Owner mr Bao is very helpful, he will take you to the park on his car and pick up. Hotel is about 3 km from national Khao Sok park. Not on the busy strip with all hotels. So it is quit a walk. But owner will drive you no charge. They also have cafe at hotel and cook delicious food. They do not clean rooms daily. I asked to wipe my balcony after the rain. Stuff did not understand me and only took out garbage. I told owner but nothing happened again.on the3 day I just wiped balcony myself. Also there is small ants in room, very tiny, no harm. However I saw 2 cockroaches. That was not pleasant. Also I wanted to book 2 more nights. Owner checked internet and told me it is available. But next day he told me someone booked that room and he will put me somewhere else. Despite the fact I told him that I want specifically same room. Something else was a old house somewhere at the back property. No balcony, no wifi or any internet. And it's very muddy around after rain so you walk in the slush and mud. And it is raining pretty much every day there. I do not think owner blocked the dates on the booking site after I asked him about 2 more days. So be beware of that if you want to stay longer. Otherwise rooms are nice , comfortable , good balcony. But no place to hang your clothes or even hangers.

Ants everywhere”

We woke up covert in ants. Not pleasant!

Great owner ! He made your experience great”

Last year my boyfriend and i where here on holiday. The owner has two accomodations in Khao sok. This one, that has no luxery at all, But you should know that before you book. And one of the most luxeres hotels in this area. The funny thing that i did not know was that my parents went at the same time as me to Khao Sok but stayed in the more luxeres hotel from the same owner. Therefore we booked several trips together. I would recommend this lodge to every backpacker who is young and don't have a lot of money to spend. But you should not be affraid for insects,bats or leeches

Ants in the bed”

Our last night we woke up because ants were crawling over us. Not a pleasant feeling!

nice host!”

really nice host and for the price the rooms are ok. Ours was a bit smelly and the mattress a bit hard. We had a lot of rain when we stayed there, maybe this dampenend also our mood during the time in Khao Sok. But we would recoomend the valley lodge if you look for a budget place with a really nice host!

Really Good”

We only stayed for 2 nights and the valley lodge staff made it all worth while helping us to cram as much activities in as possible. He was really friendly and gave us head torches. Lots of interaction with him and made us feel at home. As we stayed in rainy season the tree house was a little damp but thats to be expected in the rainforest. otherwise room was clean and was equiped with basic needs. over all i had a really lovely experience x

Jungle adventure”

Had a nice stay. But also really close to nature, big holes may allow some creatures to get into bungalow (had a frog in our bathroom). You should not have a problem with that.

fun in the rainforest.”

A basic room, but comfortable and great surroundings. We found Bao and his family accommodating, helpful and friendly. The hotel is a short walk (10 mins) from town and park entrance. We found the food to be average.

the best place in khao sok”

I first stayed smiley bungalows hated the place there no smiles filthy dirty sheets never cleaned disgysting then i moved valley lodge paradise lovely owner and staff great location spotless beautiful gardens but best of all the kindness and humour of mr boui and his staff made the stay so worth while loved valley lodge

very basic, top service, great food”

Very basic facilities but you get what you pay for. The owner always extremely helpful and available for anything needed. Organised everything for us. The food very tasty. Recommend for people not worried about luxuries.

Great for activities within khao sok.”

The stay was great apart from the weather. It rained every day which meant our daily treks were washed out unfortunately. We also had a snake in the room whilst showering but the owner got rid quickly. It wasn't poisonous or in the way as it was coiled up on the top of the post. No problems.

Good value in Khao Sok”

Great value in Khao Sok. Spent two nights here... first night everything was great and second night had a big ant problem. Bungalows are very rustic but you can't beat the deal for bungalows in Khao Sok!

nice!!”

Great location, nice staff. Although it was raining al the time and elektricity didnt work in the whole area, they really did their best to make us feel ok!!

Kann gute Bewertung nicht nachvollziehen ”

Wir können die bisherigen guten Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen, da wir unseren Aufenthalt nicht sonderlich genossen. Die Unterkunft wirkt alt, heruntergekommen und aufgrund der dunklen Holzhütten sehr ungemütlich. Die Matratze war durchgelegen, entsprechend schlecht haben wir geschlafen. Auch wenn es eine günstige Unterkunft ist, hat man vor Ort ähnlich günstige aber dafür komfortablere Alternativen. Wir können das Valley Lodge daher nicht empfehlen!

Super Preis - Leistung”

Einziger, kleiner Kritikpunkt sind die sehr harten Betten und dass es im Bad des Bungalows keine Möglichkeit gab ein Handtuch aufzuhängen oder etwas abzustellen (Duschgel, Zahnbürste, etc.) - alles handelbar - wäre aber auch kein Problem zwei Nägel in die Wand zu hauen und ein Brett o.ä. als Ablage rein zu basteln. Ist aber jammern auf hohem Niveau, wenn man sich anschaut, was die Unterkünfte rund rum so kosten. Tipps von Herrn Bao und Essen dort sind super!

Hütten mit Dschungelfeeling”

Das Khao Sok Valley Lodge liegt zwar nicht im National Park selbst, aber durch die Hütten im dicht bewaldeten Garten kommt bereits Dchungelfeeling auf. Man kann den angrenzenden Ort sowie den National Park in ein paar Minuten zu Fuss erreichen. Zu Erwähnen ist auf jeden Fall der Gastgeber der sich stets freundlich um alle unsere Wünsche gekümmert hat. Die angebotenen Touren in den National Park sind ebenfalls empfehlenswert. Auf eigene Faust sieht man nicht annähernd so viel. Ebenfalls sehr gut und günstig: das hauseigene Restaurant mit authentischer und frischer Thai-Küche.

naturnahe Unterkunft”

Wir waren für 2 Nächte da. Der Chef war nett und hat uns in Ruhe über alle Touren informiert und schließlich alles organisiert.

Nicely located small hotel”

Welcome to the Jungle”

Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich & hilfsbereit. Die Hütte war sauber & relativ simpel. Wer allerdings ein Problem mit Ameisen oder anderen Insekten / Geckos im Zimmer (trotzdem sehr sauber!!!) hat, der wird hier Vllt. nicht glücklich. Wir waren 3 Tage dort & können es ohne Bedenken weiterempfehlen! :)
