I love the staff of Panvaree. They really made us feel valued during our 3 day stay there. I highly recommend to always book your transportation directly with the hotel. Your trip will feel seamless. Also book personal tours instead of group tours.

Dangerous. Unusable. Shoddy. Unresponsive.

Stunningly beautiful setting. Traumatic boat trip out to resort. Engine fire. Host pushed passed guests who were left to fight the fire with the boat driver. Used out hats to scoop water from the lake to put out foot high flames. Management at resort once we eventually arrived were non plussed. No acknowledgement of our ordeal other then and apology. Not even a complimentary beer! Cut short at start and at end due to the boat fire. Such a shame because it's a beautiful location. Needs money spending on repairs to walkways and steps into the water as dangerous too. Book with Cate as it's pretty pricey. A day trip or at the most 1 night stay is the maximum I'd recommend booking. Such a shame.

Deeply overpriced Lake Trap

Well located and the food is adequate, but an overpriced trap with no peace or quiet. What really made me angry was the “morning safari”: 20 minutes of being ferried to 3 selfie locations for 40+ minutes of selfies. I was insulted, angry, and genuinely upset. No attempt to find wildlife. No attempt to do or see anything interesting. No reverence for the location. Cookie cutter trash. I’ve been on safaris from Chitwan to the Serengetti and gladly would pay to avoid a Panvaree tour. After that, we refused to go on other “excursions”. We didn’t have a private villa so had to stay in the room above the restaurant, which pipes Ed Sheeran in through the sewer, and the room next door hosted chimpanzees who don’t know how to not slam a door. Cloth door stoppers cost like $1. Thus, sleep was difficult. We paid 5,500 baht a night - for nightly air con and a separate bathroom; it’s not worth 2,000. I stupidly stayed there for two nights; this amazed the staff who are used to ferrying in the cattle and then ferrying them off 20 hours later. Children scream the livelong day and staff listen to their soap operas on their phones while you’re trying to hear the gibbons. The swimming area is difficult for anyone not in a cabin, it is impossible to step on the landing in bare feet, and the hotel uses plastic cups and straws. Oh and racist golliwog dolls on the lobby doors. Khao Sok is a beautiful place and deserves better.

We LOVED our stay here! Kayak included all day which made it so easy to explore this amazing lake. The food was really good!! We read some mixed reviews about the food and I will say if you’re picky this won’t work for you because there is no choice of meals but we enjoyed every meal. One particular dinner was our favorite plate of all of Thailand. This is a stranded floating hotel so the normal hotel/resort Amenities are not available. And it’s basically in the jungle so you’ll have to manage some non harmful ants after a rain and lizards etc. We saw wild elephant and monkeys on the boat rides and loved the day excursion to a cave. Would absolutely stay again

Allow 1 hour travel from airport. All foreigners pay 300 baht fee to enter lake.(not noted when booking). If you expect 5 star service do not stay here, It is a remote holiday destination with little to do but look at the majestic view and relax. The staff speak minimal english but make every effort to provide a great stay. The huts are good for multiple guests but we chose rooms above the restaurant. Steep stair entry but sensation view. I read some bad reviews about this resort, but i found it to be fantastic. I like thai food and the chef cooks it as it should be. If you are fussy eater then you must call ahead and they will provide alternative meals for you. If you want Hilton hotel dont stay here. If you want truly exceptional thai hospitality this is a hidden gem.

It's important to have the correct expectations. This is a very remote wooden floating hotel. With the charm and wonder that comes from that. Fantastic views in all directions. And very quiet. And the limitations. No Internet? Celebrate! Limited menu? Eat what they have! The staff will make you happ every second. And do take all those boat rides. And swim in the lake -- a lot!

Nous avons tout particulièrement apprécié le professionnalisme et la gentillesse de Bennie qui nous a accueilli et dorloté tout au long de notre séjour malheureusement trop court. Enorme merci à elle. Elle est exceptionnelle. Emplacement magique, chambre magnifique et confortable. Restauration de qualité. Malheureusement, pour des raisons de planning de notre voyage nous n'avons pu bénéficier du speed boat transfert gratuit le matin pour notre arrivée et avons dû payer la somme indiquée à laquelle la personne de l'embarcadère a ajouté le montant de l'entrée au parc. De même nous n'avons pu bénéficier de la restauration du déjeuner et ne pouvant assumer un second transfert payant, nous avons repris le transfert gratuit du matin pour le retour; ce qui a fait un séjour bien trop court. Nous ne manquerons pas de conseiller cet hébergement et si nous en avons l'occasion, nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
