Arriving at the Float House in a long tailed boat is an unforgetable experiance. From the moment we arrived we were treated wonderfully by the friendly staff. Such a peaceful location, surrounded by beautiful country. The rooms are large with very comfortable beds, the large windows give lovely views of the river and countryside. On the floating patio are a swing sofa and easy chairs, ideal for relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. the bathroom, shower and toilet are situated on the rear of the floating room. A study area is also located to the side of the bedroom. Tea/Coffee making facilites, safe and fridge are also included. the whole building is a modern replica of a Thai house, high ceilings and built in hardwood. Air conditioning and a flat screen TV feature in the bedroom. The restaurant is situated in the centre of the floating units. The food is very good with a selection of local and international dishes. Our server (and guide) Kaa (may have spelt that wrongly) was magnificent! Nothing was too much trouble. He arranged a tour of the local Mon peoples village and a guided tour of "Hellfire pass" - he was very knowledgeable and most helpful. This wonderful hotel is just perfect for a peaceful break. We wish that we had stayed for longer than our two days. …

The entire place was lovely. Room was fascinating, built with attention to every detail. It transported me back to another era. I much enjoyed feeling and listening to the river flowing by, the gentle bobbing of the “house” - quite memorable experience. Food was delicious and massage at the spa was delightful.

What an amazing place. We took a long tail boat from the wharf at Phutakien Pier after being dropped off by our driver. Quick 10 minutes up river to the resort and the first view was amazing. All of the thatched rooms of the rooms lined up along a slight bend in the river is pretty amazing. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. We only had an overnight stay and arrived late so managed to get in a jump in the river at reception to float down to the end of the wharf a few times. Dinner was good quality with gluten free catered too. Rooms are nicely appointed with a.giiant bed and deck in each. Sitting on the deck watching the river was very nice as well.

I like this property to the point that I love to come here whenever I got my long vacation. The staffs are wonderful. It’s not 5 stars luxurious, but the staff try their best to support your request. I stay here multiple time. Unfortunately, this is the first time I stay here during summer and got plumed with smoking fume and burning fume. I got migraines within 15 minutes after arrival. I asked for air purifiers, but the property do not have it. I understand that this is not the property fault, but we came here want to relax in the nature not to be plumbed by the burning fume. In all, I like this property. I’ll revisit, but only in rainy or winter. Definitely not in SUMMER!!!

Dear penkonn1234, Thank you for staying at our property and taking the time to write meaningful feedback. First of all, we are deeply sorry about your experience. Though, in order to clarify the matter, please allow us to explain herewith. Regarding the smoke, we are certainly aware of the situation on that day which rarely occurred in our location. The smoke could come from nearby wildfire and the wind brought it here. This situation usually passes in half an hour if there is decent windblown. However, we are extremely disappointed to see your given score rating despite you realized that it was not the hotel fault. Apparently, it was natural activity which might be impacted by climate change. By the way, to serve customer's satisfaction, optional facility to alleviate the matter is also under our appropriate consideration. Highly hope to welcome you back soon. Regards, The Float House River Kwai

Our family had an amazing one night stay here during part of an organised trip. The setting is truly unique and arriving by longtail boat was incredible. There isn't a huge amount to do except sit and admire your surroundings, but that was very easy to do! We stayed with our boys aged 10, 7 and 5 and although we had to be careful given the river setting, they loved it, especially jumping into the river (with life jackets on) and floating down to the end of the property to get out and do it all again! A special mention to Joy in the restaurant who spoiled our boys, making them a special ice cream dessert at dinner (that they are still talking about!), and treating them to hot chocolates at breakfast which made them feel very grown up. I wouldn't recommend staying more than a night or two given the location but it is a once in a lifetime hotel stay which I would 100% recommend!…

The setting is fabulous. You really are on a floating house!! Rooms were lovely and the deck fantastic. Don’t bring children though. Far too dangerous. I only lower the stars because the food was not good. The buffet the first night was ok but the set menu for the second was awful. The waiter and staff tried hard I can’t fault them. All these horrid tissues instead of napkins as well. There is nowhere else to eat so you have no choice. Still a great place. Very very noisy in the morning. From 3 am we had boats pass and every time the noise was so loud. They really should somehow stop boats passing until a reasonable time. Again just after covid so I think they are getting their act together. A truly great experience don’t be too put off by my remarks. It is unique.

Dear elainecY3637TQ, Thank you for staying at The FloatHouse River Kwai and taking the time to leave an excellent score. We are glad that you enjoyed our hospitality. However, there are some topics you touched which we would like to clarify further. Regarding food, we actually get multiple appreciations about our cuisines from diners all around the world. Despite we totally understand each persons would have their own favorite flavor of food, we still strive our best to delicately provide and daily serve quality dishes with fresh produces, unique recipes. Because our certain standard is to prepare the greatest exceptional meals for customers. In terms of boat's noise, our boats only run during the day time, first passing boat starts from 7 a.m until 6 p.m. According to your mentioned time, it may have been villagers' fishing boat. As standard procedure, we always try our best to minimize the impact as much as possible. To absorb the ripple, buffered rubber has also been orderly installed around the area. Besides, we've talked to the boat drivers to slow down their engine while passing by our floating resort. Therefore, these would definitely help address the noise and shaking concern. We hope to welcome you back soon. Best regards, The FloatHouse River Kwai

Our stay at the Float house has been one of our most wonderful experiences. The hotel is situated in the gorgeous backdrop of the river Kwai and the greenery of the surrounding natural parks. The hotel itself is exactly as pictured: a comfortable and cozy living area floating atop the river Kwai with you own private decking area including a swinging seat and plenty of seating. The rooms are surprisingly spacious! The staff were super friendly and always willing to help you with anything you need. In particular, the restaurant staff were extremely friendly and helpful. When Joy, who works at the restaurant found out I was feeling sick, he went above and beyond to help by bringing me medication and even bringing food to my room for later! His kindness and attentiveness is a true asset to the hotel staff. We highly recommend anyone visiting Thailand and Kanchanaburi in particular to not miss this memorable experience. We advise hiring a car in Kanchanaburi before arriving. Thank you for the wonderful stay! …

We did not know what to expect prior to arriving here, and when our bags were loaded onto a narrow long tail boat followed by us, I was a little afraid tbh! We sped along the beautiful River Kwai Noi (the little river Kwai apparently) past nature carved sandstone sculptures and overhanging trees for about ten minutes and suddenly the elegant curve of the float house lodges appeared. Each ‘room’ is actually a floating unit secured to each other and is very natural looking. It’s quiet and delightful, with each lodge having an outside deck over the river with chairs and a swing seat. Delightful. There are life jackets available and some brave souls donned one and jumped into the fast flowing water, down to the far end of the lodges. The rooms were large - quite dark because of the wood used, but that’s not an issue really! Fully equipped, comfortable beds and somewhere to sit. Breakfast was good - the egg station chef was delightfully cheery and helpful and there was a wide range of food choices. You are a bit of a captive audience dinner wise but the food again was fine and not ridiculously pricey. We loved the peace and tranquillity here and would recommend it to anyone who is exploring the history in the area - we visited the war graves, the death railway and Hell Fire pass easily from here.…
