She helped to hail the car in the hot sun when we took the car to Erawan Waterfall.

I’m honestly surprised with these reviews. It’s quaint and has some Thai charm but that’s it. Perhaps it’s because it’s so quiet ? I had barely a welcome. I asked about booking a tour or driver and was met with confusion. Annoying because I had messaged them before my arrival about whether to book in advance or with them. I was shown to my room then reception closed up, which was after I realised I had no wifi information. I’m sure I was the only guest and put in the worst room at the back near the toilets, pans & cleaning stuff. It was dark and depressing and full of mosquitoes. It was hot, the fridge & air-con were off. There was no security as the windows didn’t lock but you couldn’t have them open either for light because of the mosquitoes. I persevered for an hour but still no one surfaced to discuss these issues, so I cut my losses and moved on.

As the title of my review says, the staff are great. Knowledgeable of the local area, easy to deal with and very welcoming. I found them incredibly helpful. The owner has fluent English which makes thing easier as well. There are also 4 lovely dogs that greet you every time you arrive home. They always take up 10 minutes of my time when I get back. I was a little put out that the room has no warm water and there are no plug points in the room so charging your items is resigned to leaving them in the common area, although the owner had a solution for this and had an extension cord which ran all the way to my room through the window. The price is good and compared to other options and is the closest riverside accommodation to the bus station. I want to thank the owner for all of his help during my stay.

Just an all round nice place to stay. The views were amazing from our balcony and the rooms were on the smaller side but were clean and well air conditioned (needed for the 37°C heat). The pool was really refreshing and the location overlooks the river Kwai, just off a main road full of restaurants and bars which can sometimes be a bit noisy while trying to get asleep but nothing too bad. We also had a few little lizard friends that managed to bunk into our room without paying. None we’re very big but this could be a turn off for some. It was fairly difficult to find people who actually worked there, both when checking in and out, but we enjoyed the place and would gladly stay again.

Lovely atmosphere for travellers with shared spaces to interact with other people staying at the hostel. The staff are really friendly and kind, and they made a great effort to make sure everyone felt at home. The location is really good, close to a good selection of restaurants and bars, and the hostel itself is extremely clean.

We stayed 2 nights using the BnB as a base for a short biking tour around Kanchanaburi. The staff were so kind and the hotel exceptional value. Perfect location by all the bars and restaurants, 10 min walk from the station (we walked up after getting off the morning train from Bangkok) Breakfast was great, 100 baht for full option. Can also reccomend their Thai food for lunch/dinner. Room clean and set up nicely. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Spacious, comfortable and very clean rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Walking distance to museum, skywalk, shops, night market, restaurants etc. Laundry service next door. Very quiet at night. The best air con unit in all of Thailand!!

I stayed here for 3 nights. I loved my stay here. Joy and Fa are amazing and friendly owners. So clean and comfortable. Joy helped me kindly with the paperwork for my visa extension at the local immigration. It's much easier to do visa extension here than in Bangkok. This guesthouse is so close to the bus terminal. Lots of places to eat nearby. The River Kwai Bridge is not too far. The Skywalk is amazing. I loved the Erawan National Park and waterfall which you can take a local bus. You can rent a bike and do your laundry at the guesthouse for a great price. I'd like to thank Joy for all her help and kindness. Thank you.

- Price 5/5: Reasonably priced for the standard of the room. - Room 4/5: Comfortable bed, clean, garden view and most important good air conditioning in super hot Kanchanaburi. Amenities: Toiletries, fridge, 2 complimentary water bottles (any more you need to pay 10-20THB), TV (all Thai channels), very comfy bed. What could be improved: Table and chairs we brought in from the verandah so we could eat in the air conditioned room. Kettle, spoons, coffee, cups in the room would have been great too! There is complimentary coffee / tea near the registration counter, so you need to get out of the room (early birds - bit dark as the counter is closed) . The walls are a little thin, and we were lucky our neighbours were quiet, not drunk and probably as tired as we were. The garden is very pretty! -En suite shower 4.5/5: Good space for shower, toilet and sink, enough for a wheelchair. More towel rails would be good. Clean! - Service 4/5: All staff - All friendly but you may need google translator too ask more complex questions. Breakfast offered was a little late 8.00 am (choices: Pad thai etc). The train back to Bangkok is 7.05 am and 3.15 pm. So, we skipped breakfast to save some time. Heard the breakfast is nice, so early breakfast/take away e.g. 6.00/6.30 am would be great! - Location 4.5/5: 5-6 min walk to Kanchanaburi train station and the night market, so convenient for food and transport back to Bangkok. But its' still a distance to River Kwai bridge (30-40 min walk). Taking the train or song teows near the train station would be more practical than walking in the searing heat.
