Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
This was the second stay within three weeks and I ve been impressed both times. The hotel is small and focusses on the raft rooms, there are only 2 rooms available on dry land in the main building. The food in the restaurant is good and very reasonably priced. Staff are warm and friendly but efficient.

Reservation service:
Faultless as always.

Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed 2 nights in a river cabin, one word, Fantastic. The resturant food and service very good. Has a floating pool compound, so that you are actually in the river Kwai, but can not get carried away in the strong current. Is about 55kms, out of Kanchanburri. Would stay again.

Reservation service:
Very quick response, made a pleasure to deal with.

Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
The location is very good indeed. Perfect location, perfect view, perfect environment. Room quality is value for money. Just small things such as; the water in the shower room doesn t work if the room next door is using it in the same time. Room is very hot in the daytime, even we turned on the air-con for few hours (It would be great if staff could prepare the room before guest arrives). Hotel service is just average. You cannot expect staff there to be very friendly and smile like 4-5 stars resort. Overall is good for me. I would recommend this resort to others. BTW can you provide TV in the room???

Accommodation and facilities:
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay,the staff were extremely helpful and although language can be a bit of a barrier at times, a few good smiles and gestures soon solved any issues.perfect location to head off and visit the many points of interest in the area without having to travel long distances.The walls on the river rafts are thin enough to hear conversation next door,but as these are floating structures, one really should not expect brick and mortar soundproofing.If i did not think it was worth going back there then i must question myself as to why both my wife and i feel that we would love to make a return visit to this resort.

We have used this booking service for a number of our hotel bookings in Thailand and have had no trouble at all.

Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed for 3 nights in one of the Raft Bungalows, and we were very thrilled about the room and the views! It felt very exotic having the river flow right under you! The room was very nicely decoreated and spacious with 2 double beds, and the veranda facing the river with two lounge chairs was amazing. It had both a fan and AC, which came in handy in the 38 degree heat. The staff were very friendly and helpful. On the downside there were no options to eat anywhere else than at the hotel restaurant, and the food was not very good. It was very bland and non-tasting to be Thai food. We made two tours , both of which the hotel arranged for us. One to the Tiger Temple, and one longtail boat trip to a waterfall. The tours were quite expensive (around 3000 Baht/tour for 2 persons) and not really worth the money. It was a very relaxing stay (as there is not much else to do there), and it was very quiet as the only guests were us 2 and a family from Denmark.

Reservation service:
Booking service was excellent!

Accommodation and facilities:
Lovely resort,very clean for a raft bungalow on river, and excellent value.Elephant trek and Elephant bathing 5 minutes away. Good food, although more choice perhaps could be given as the set breakfast would be little boring if you were there more than a few days. (More smiles from breakfast staff would be nice)Motorbike hire available. Reception staff and guide very very helpful, and made our stay more enjoyable. Thank you. 1 hour from Kanchanaburi. They had just built a small river swimming pool on departure. This will be a bonus, as you can\ t swim in river, water flow fast. Would definitely recommend.

Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
The Raft Rooms where just very nice, with a great view. Since its a raft the walls are thin and you can hear the noices of neigbor rooms. But for me staying in this resort was a very good experience. Food was ok, breakfast bit simple but with fresh juice! I think all the guest can enjoin at this Resort.

Reservation service:
Very good as usually. Thank you.

Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Very good location as the room is floating on the river. However the quality of the room build is not that good. Very thin walls mean you can hear everything in the adjacent rooms, from conversations, snoring and people using the bathroom. Very quiet location in that no real facilites nearby in terms of restaurants etc. Small shops nearby. Restaurant menu in hotel was sparse. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Trips are expensive, particularly if travelling alone, as they are based on the number in the party and all stated as including admission tickets, but going to Hellfire Pass Museum, there is no admission fee anyway.

Reservation service:
fine. No prblems

Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
Would be a good place for a quiet getaway although the presence of loud construction noises during the hotel performing renovations during our stay dampened the experience. Staff tried to persuade us to vacate our room during these renovations with disregard to our intentions of sleeping in and relaxing. The resort served us undercooked fish and cold boiled rice on a few occassions.

Reservation service:
Everything as expected

Rooms and service was great. The young couple who managed the resort did all to give us the best service and a pleasant stay. One thing need to be said abouth the kitchen. They have to uprade it in the future. The food and taste was below what <you might expect for the price paid and for the quality they want to have on the resort. As a whole a very pleasant stay.

Reservation service:
Excellent.

Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
This was a VERY unique style of accommodation - a very comfortable bamboo hut, air-conditioned, floating on a raft, moored along a fast flowing river. Off the balcony you could dangle your legs into the river water, listen to the rush of the river as you lay comfortably on your bed or deck chair, feel the gentle rock of the water. From the balcony you can watch the river life go past - the long boats, tourist rafts, locals crossing the rickety suspension bridge on foot or scooter. The adjacent restaurant/reception area served delicious, simple Thai meals that were very inexpensive. The staff were VERY helpful & friendly & various tours were organised by them with private guides. Down the road was a small village with a corner shop which supplied essentials. There was also a village restaurant that was open for lunch that supplied Thai-set lunches that were very cheap & delicious! This place is not handicap friendly, otherwise, I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel!

Reservation service:
Very good! Hassel free

We spent two nights at the Hotel on the river. And we can really recommend it. It´s nice little hotel with good service and very friendly staff. The room on a float of the River Kwai was perfect, all new and lovely furnished. We loved to sit at the terrace with our feets in the water.

Perfect, nice and good organized

Boutique Raft Resort

Accommodation and facilities:
This is probably my favorite trips during my stay in Thailand. Boutique Raft came highly recommended by a colleague, and I was not disappointed at all! Khun Wan and her husband were so hospitable and accommodating to me and my two guests visiting. They helped us to make a personalized package tour of exactly what we wanted to do, all of the preparations (meals, tours) were ready when we arrived at our destinations, and the rooms themselves were so lovely! What a site to wake up on the River Kwai. The only hitch was a delay in the train during our morning tour, but that was out of the hotel s control, and they were kind to suggest an alternative. Our driver for the two days was also kind, though our communication was a bit tough at times b/t my broken Thai and his broken English. Overall, I highly recommend Boutique Rafts and RCD Adventures (for our bamboo rafting, elephant riding, and elephant washing adventures).

Reservation service:
Easy to use, quick and dependable responses.
