Our Jungle House

We hebben een fantastisch verblijf gehad! Super lieve mensen die daar werken en je overal mee helpen om je verblijf nog leuker te maken! Verschillende excursies geboekt en alles werd tot in detail voor je geregeld. Echt enorm genoten! We wilden nog een nacht bijboeken, omdat de kinderen nog zoveel wilden doen, helaas waren ze volgeboekt. Genoeg redenen om dus weer terug te komen!

Midden in de jungle, wat een ervaring ! Trip geboekt via het hotel en een nacht safari

We recently stayed at Our Jungle House and there is so much to love about it. The scenery is absolutely stunning, the location is peaceful and immersed in nature, and the staff were friendly, helpful and kind throughout our visit. The food is excellent too. Every meal we had was delicious. It is a little on the expensive side, but the quality is high and it felt worth it. The river is another highlight. It was a joy to have this right on our doorstep, and our kids had the best time playing and cooling off there. But I need to be honest about one major downside that would stop me from returning unless it’s addressed: the heat inside the rooms. I fully support the resort’s eco values and I’m not expecting air conditioning, but the problem is the design of the treehouses. They trap hot air, especially on the mezzanine sleeping levels, and it becomes unbearably hot. There are vents but no proper ventilation system to expel the heat. Each bed has a small fan, but there’s nothing to cool the room itself. I was so uncomfortable I genuinely considered leaving early. What’s frustrating is that this isn’t new. Lots of guests have made similar points in reviews going back years, and I’ve read the management responses. They all focus on defending the decision not to install aircon, which is understandable, but by doing that they completely miss the point. The issue isn’t about aircon, it’s about ventilation. There are many eco-friendly ways this could be improved, like installing exhaust fans or providing a decent freestanding fan in each room. But this doesn’t seem to have been considered at all. Honestly, I think the owners would benefit from spending a few nights in the rooms themselves during the hotter months. I think they’d quickly realise how uncomfortable it can get and hopefully be more open to making practical, sustainable changes. There were a few other smaller issues too. The lighting in the treehouses is extremely dim — so much so that it’s hard to see your belongings after dark. The sliding doors bang loudly in the wind at night, which made it difficult to sleep. This could be easily fixed with a gasket or stopper. And while the bathrooms were fine, they’re looking quite tired and could do with a bit of a refresh. One last thing worth mentioning is that our itinerary for booked activities seemed to shift based on staff availability rather than guest preference. It didn’t cause major issues, but it did shorten our tour time and we weren’t the only ones to notice or mention it. Better communication around this would go a long way. This is a magical place in so many ways and I really wanted to love everything about it, but the heat and a few avoidable issues made it hard to fully relax. I hope these points are taken on board, because with a few changes, this could be a truly exceptional experience.

Vanaf het eerste contact was het een top-ervaring! De snelheid, accuratesse en persoonlijke aanpak van het receptieteam, maakten direct indruk. Dat gevoel bleef en groeide naar enorme hoogten. Wij hadden het familiepakket genomen (kind 10jr) en hebben er daarna nog 1 extra nacht achteraan geplakt. Die ene extra nacht hadden er ook 2 of 3 mogen zijn. Alleen al hier zijn, is een verrijking van het leven. Als wij over een x-aantal jaar weer naar Thailand gaan, komen we zeker hier terug.

Nous venions d'un autre hôtel sur Khao Sok, plus simple et moins cher. Les chambres de cet hôtel dans les arbres sont spacieuses. Obligation d'utiliser la mousqutaire du lit car il y a des ouvertures (sans vitre) partout. Le restaurant (dîner et petit dejeuner) est correct mais sans plus. Le personnel est professionnel mais sans chaleur. L'hôtel n'est pas d'un accès facile. Plutôt déçu.

We had a really good stay at Our Jungle House. The tours and activities were great, although we weren't very lucky with the wildlife-spotting (these things aren't guaranteed, of course). All guides were professional and very knowledgeable, and reception and restaurant staff were very friendly. We stayed in the 'Romance' treehouse, and the view over the river from the balcony was wonderful!
