Panvaree the Greenery

Best hotel!

Like the title says, this place is absolutely disgusting and should be avoided if you can. Wish we read more reviews before we went. The rooms above the restaurant ARE FULL of cockroaches, we saw them immediately after we checked in and previous guests said they had to sleep with lights on to avoid swarms of them at night. No refund given even though we had to leave.

What an unique experience! We were greeted by a friendly hotel staff member at the little restaurant near the pier where we tried to wait out the worst of the rain before boarding our boat to the hotel. Ponchos sold at the restaurant came in very handy. We missed most of the beauty during the ride in because of the rain but it stopped by the time we arrived and we were able to take in the gorgeous surroundings. We got hut #9 and loved it. Perfect for our family of 4, we had the kids upstairs in the loft (which gets hot during the day since air-conditioning cannot be used until 5pm. Really though, it forces you to enjoy the porch, floating net and gorgeous water outside your room until then. There were also kayaks that could be used if you fancied a paddle around to explore. Being able to walk through your room, open the doors and be at the water was such a treat. We all loved it! The rooms were spacious and clean. It was a little odd to have to exit the room to get to the bathroom, especially in the middle of the night but it was okay. As for the price, I thought it was reasonable for what you get: unique stay in a clean room, friendly service, very tasty family-style lunch and dinner (which had something for all of us, including my picky daughter), and buffet breakfast which was also delicious, two boat excursions to look for wildlife (we saw hornbills and macaque), and memories that will not be soon forgotten. For the price I do think that some of the money could be put back into the place for a bit of a face-lift but for one night, I had no complaints.

Panvaree The Greenery was absolutely magical! The floating villas are surrounded by the most stunning natural scenery—calm waters, lush mountains, and peaceful skies. It truly felt like a hidden paradise. One of the highlights of my stay was kayaking right from my villa. Gliding through the serene lake was so peaceful, and I was incredibly lucky to spot a wild elephant near the water—an unforgettable moment! The staff were warm and welcoming, and my room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully situated. Everything about this place invites you to slow down and fully enjoy nature. I highly recommend Panvaree The Greenery for anyone looking for a peaceful, once-in-a-lifetime getaway. Five stars without hesitation!

Panvaree The Greenery is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Khao Sok National Park. The floating villas are absolutely stunning — waking up surrounded by the emerald green water of Ratchaprapa Dam is an experience we’ll never forget. It’s peaceful, scenic, and a perfect escape from the city. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food provided was fresh and tasty, with a good mix of Thai flavors. We also enjoyed kayaking and swimming directly from our room — such a cool and unique experience! The only reason for the 4-star rating instead of 5 is that while the natural setting is unbeatable, there were a few areas where service and amenities could be improved a bit to match the premium price. For example, a few more comforts in the room would have elevated the experience even more.
