Best Phanom Hotels

"The hotel is really in the jungle we found it beautiful, it is totally quiet and relaxing who is looking for such things is on the right place. What we can never recommend is the excursion from the hotel to the national park kao sok with night. For us the money and time were paid. I didn't find a sleep in the bamboo chambers because the mattress was simply too thin. Of course we don't know if you choose another provider if it's better then but from the hotel I would not recommend it in any case"

"We recently stayed at the hotel and had a fantastic experience! The grounds are well-maintained, everything is stylish and clean. The room is spacious, with a great view and all the amenities. The breakfasts are varied and delicious – a wide selection to suit every taste. I'd especially like to commend the staff – they made our stay unforgettable! Thank you to the hotel team for their hospitality! We will definitely be back again."

"I stayed at this hotel for three nights in March 2025, and it was a truly unforgettable experience in the heart of the jungle. Located just 1.5 km from the official entrance of Khao Sok National Park, it was the perfect base for organized jungle treks and day trips to Cheow Lan Lake. I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel! Tucked away from the main road (less than 1 km), the property is fully immersed in the lush nature of Khao Sok, surrounded by tropical vegetation, towering limestone cliffs, and right next to the Sok River. Upon arrival, we were immediately welcomed by a group of playful monkeys on the doorstep of our treehouse. Watching them jump from tree to tree, swim in the river, and live their carefree lives was magical. While swimming in the river myself, I was even greeted by a group of curious otters – an experience I’ll never forget. The accommodation consists of wooden cottages and treehouses along the riverbank. While simple, it exceeded our expectations: comfy beds with mosquito nets, a spacious and clean bathroom, and even a private balcony. There’s no air conditioning, but fans kept the room comfortable in March. Wi-Fi is only available in the common areas such as the restaurant and reception – which honestly adds to the feeling of being off the grid. Make sure to close the wooden windows when leaving the room, as curious monkeys might try to sneak in. Luckily, we only had a brief visit from a lizard and a cockroach on our last day. Surprisingly, there weren’t many mosquitoes or insects overall. Breakfast was served as a delicious buffet, including fresh fruit, eggs, pancakes, coffee, juices, and a few other options. Most tables are located outside on a terrace with a beautiful river view – perfect for watching monkeys during your morning coffee. The on-site restaurant also serves a wide variety of à la carte options until the evening, from traditional Thai dishes to western fast food, ideal if you're too tired to walk to the main road after a full day of activities. The nearest bar is halfway back to the road. The service deserves a special mention: the staff were always smiling, warm, and helpful. We booked several tours directly through the hotel, including a day and night jungle hike and a lake tour – all were well-organized and professional. Khao Sok village itself is very touristy, with many bars, at least five pizza places, and very few truly local Thai restaurants. One real gem is Nongsaw Thai Food, which offers delicious, homemade Thai dishes – but be warned: spicy really means spicy! Overall, my stay in Khao Sok National Park was absolutely amazing. Being so close to untouched nature and wildlife brought peace and calm to my heart. It’s the perfect place to relax, listen to the sounds of the jungle, and forget about all the stress of daily life. There was a noticeably peaceful and respectful atmosphere among all tourists – very different from what you often experience in bigger cities or on Thailand’s popular islands. I truly hope this place stays as it is and doesn’t become overcrowded in the future."

"Only stayed here for a quick overnight but the hotel was very clean and the room was nice, spacious and modern, the staff helped us with booking tours and storing our luggage after we checked out. Overall a very pleasant experience and would book again."

"This hotel is set in a beautiful natural environment, on a limestone cliff with a lake. It felt like being in a jungle, which was lovely. The welcome was good, with butterfly tea and clear explanations. However, it's quite isolated, facing a departmental road far from the city. They offer a taxi service, but it's too expensive. This means the only accessible dining option is the hotel's own restaurant, which is a major drawback: - The service is poor: twice, we had to go and get the menus ourselves. - The staff seemed disengaged and were all on their phones. - The restaurant closes at 8 PM, which is quite astounding. On our second night, we arrived at 7:50 PM, right after a group of 20 people, and were told only fried rice dishes were available because we arrived too late… we clearly have different definitions of 'late'. Imagine if we had gone on a night safari excursion, or checked in at 9 PM – we wouldn't have been able to eat, which is a real problem. - Once ordered, the dishes didn't arrive together. My girlfriend had almost finished her meal by the time mine was served (two fried rice and chicken dishes, by the way). Additionally, we couldn't find a hairdryer, and there was another issue: the room was poorly soundproofed; you could hear everyone as if they were right inside our room."

"We had such a great time here!! The staff were super friendly, especially the restaurant team, they made sure we started and ended every day with a smile, which really made a difference. The lodge was surprisingly comfortable for being in the jungle. Everything was well thought out: clean, secure, and completely leak-proof, even during the heavy rain we had. The restaurant was another highlight. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Great portions, tasty dishes, and a relaxed vibe, perfect after a day of exploring. We also did one of the tours offered by the lodge, and it was really well organized. They even provided dry bags for guests who didn’t bring one, which was super helpful. Furthermore, the location was amazing. It is a great spot right by the river. Waking up to the sound of flowing water and birds was something special. All in all, a place where you feel welcome, well taken care of, and surrounded by nature. We’ll definitely be back!"

"Beautiful views and an unusual hotel. The staff is very friendly and tries hard. But the hotel needs a manager who can teach me how to provide proper service. I don't care how many smiles I get if check-in and check-out take a long time. They need a video intercom downstairs by the parking lot so that when guests arrive, they can call reception and they'll send a car. Or how do we walk from the parking lot? The food at the hotel is average. This is understandable, since the emphasis is on the view. The waiters confuse hot and cold coffee and forget to bring a drink for breakfast. Many reviews have written about the amazing night sounds. I only heard a ton of cicadas, and that's it. The hotel offered an interesting ATV ride. It's worth taking. But this is thanks to the ATV tour organizers, not the hotel."

"A great place to relax and unwind. The staff are very friendly and helpful. At breakfast, you can enjoy a great selection and a fantastic view of the surrounding countryside. Numerous restaurants and mini-markets in the village are within walking distance. Since it's located in the middle of the forest, you should expect to encounter the occasional insect. I also liked that the minibar was included in the price and that water was provided daily. As a tip for getting there, I recommend taking the minivan instead of the coach."
