What a wonderful place to visit. We have enjoyed our time here so much - a beautiful place to stay. The gardens are simply stunning (it is obvious that a lot of love and thought has gone into their design and upkeep) with hidden salas to sit and look out over the passing river. The rooms are great, as a... More

Thank you so much for all these very pleasing compliments. We are delighted to have recently received a Trip Advisor award for one of the best 'family resorts' in Thailand and are therefore very happy that your family also made the best use of our facilities. We are aware that a 'family friendly' resort should offer far more than a... More

The hotel's only problem - we got it for one night only. That's carefully designed hotel, all in amazing detail. The hotel is on the riverbank with breathtaking scenic lookouts. Lovely little pool, garden and dining room overlooking the landscape. Rooms are designed with attention to details. My wife and daughter invite a massage therapy for themself and reported that...

Dear Yifta, Many thanks for taking the time to write this review. We are delighted at all your comments and particularly about the massage. I will let the masseuse know! I am also very happy about your understanding over the power cuts. It is an unfortunate occurence at this time of year when electrical storms happen. Luckily many guests like... More

This is a fantastic haven to base yourself in to explore northern Thailand. I would thoroughly recommend the resort! The hotel staff were very friendly and extremely helpful in every way. Our driver who took us on trips out was excellent. Nothing is too much and everything is done with a personal touch. The accommodation is set in the most... More

Dear Sarah, Many thanks for this review. It is very pleasing to know that you were more than satisfied with all aspects of your stay. I shall pass on your comment about the Northern Sausage which we make ourselves! Definitely a favourite along with other northern dishes which so many guests enjoy! More

We stayed one night at the hotel and found the resort wonderful. The setting, next to the river with beautiful gardens is comforting and uplifting. The staff are very friendly and willing. The room is like a mini villa, clean and spacious. The only downside was a bathroom odor evacuation issue. More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review and for the comments about the resort generally, which are commonly made by many guests. Sincere apologies for the odour from the bathroom. Unfortunately without mains sewage, we occasionally have issues with our waste disposal system with the result that sometimes odours do escape. I am glad it did not generally... More

What a find! As we arrived at the Maekok River Village Resort, we were met by owners/managers Bryan and Rosie Massingham who had designed and built the entire Resort just three years previously on what used to be abandoned paddy fields. The Resort, which borders the Maekok River, is surrounded by beautiful gardens, full of tropical plants with bougainvillea and... More

Maekok River Resort - Outstanding hospitality, beautifully designed rooms and a mixture of accommodation to suit all. The most delicious Thai food (and so much to choose from). Well planned activities with great leaders - We opted for a bike ride through the local village and further along through the dirt roads surrounded by the beautiful coriander fields. Along with...

We attended a wedding at the resort at the end of December 2011. The comfortable rooms are located in beautiful gardens with views towards the river and mountains. The rooms are spacious with a private terrace and furnished with taste and enhanced by little touches such as frangipani flowers and coffee/tea making facilities. The standard catering was good - especially... More

My fiancé and I attended a wedding in December last year at the Maekok River Village Resort enjoying outstanding facilities and service during our stay. The wedding location was perfect in the beautiful gardens of the Resort looking out. There were many options in regards to food; however I must say that the local northern Thai style food offered by... More

Dear Brock, Many thanks for taking the time to review us. Your comments were similar to many of the guests and we were delighted that we were able to provide such a memorable occasion. Many people also noted that it was a perfect wedding venue and a very different alternative to the usual Phuket / Koh Samui style. We thus... More

A perfect place to rest and relax. Very nice and comfortable rooms, very well laid-out, with a lot of space to put your stuff, especially in the bathroom. Amazing garden, though not very suitable for children (it would be nice to have some not-so-beautiful area where they could run and play). Good restaurant. Only 2 (minor) negatives : they don’t...

Thank you for taking the time to review our resort and delighted that overall you were more than happy with your stay with us. Regarding the 'soap issue', we do have shower gel which we think most people use instead of soap, but will consider placing two soaps in the future. For children, we do feel that the gardens even...
