I checked in to the Guest house in 24 Mar 2013 with my 2 children & wife. We all stayed in a 2-double beds room with no air-cond, just eelctric fans. It was hot in the afternoon but pretty nice temperature at night. The Malay style hut gives a genuine 'Kampong feel' with chickens & cats walking around. My kids... More

50 a night is cheap and you get what you pay for. The owner / manager is really nice and helpful and they rent canoes and do river tours as the property backs onto the river... I think a good place if you are on a budget but if you want 70-100 range look elsewhere ... Little Bali bar is... More

We stayed at Payung Guesthouse in July, 2012. Nice bungalows, lovely staff. It is very basic. We stayed for 4 nights in a 4 persons bungalow with fan. The bungalow was spacious and nice. You could make tee and coffee and they had a chilling area with books an telly by the road. We also attended the river cruise and... More

Payung is located just next to the river and in "downtown" Cherating. It's opposite of all the good warungs and the nightlife happens next door. The beach is only a short walk away. The chalets are clean and have their own private bathroom. There is nothing like the atmosphere when you sit on your porch with the view of the... More

It's a lovely oasis in Cherating. It's real vale for money. It's clean, lovely quiet corner with wonderful garden with lovely cotteges and bungalows and a pond in the middle. The owner / manager is very caring and they do their best to make you happy. The beach infront is shallow in some time of the season but water is... More

Just like many of my fellow guest mates, I only planned to stay in Cherating for a few days and ended up staying almost two weeks. Sure, once you do the firefly and turtle trips and go on a mission to find the hidden beaches, you'll feel like you've done it all. So why stay? The answer is the people!... More
