Location is fine, but the rooms NOT located on the water (i.e. in the wing called "AIR") are horrendous little hovels. Better to get a bungalow on the water, but be forewarned - though there are bathtubs in those, if you want to shower in them, the hose for the water is only long enough to reach your head if you're kneeling. Also, be sure to plug the tub's drain at night because it opens onto the river/swamp and the mosquitos that live on the water can come straight through.

“Quaint and budget”
I initially chose this place, due to a family room for 4 on the website. But when we arrived, the small bungalow for 4 was way TOO small, but luckily they were willing to give us 2 bungalows for the same price.
Part of me really liked this place. The wooden huts over the swamp looked magical in the photos and the reviews I found were ok. But you get what you pay for - and this was a very cheap/ backpackers place = sheets with tears, and the creatures living in the ceiling caused some unwelcome rocking! :0. (dont ask).
For 2 nights it suited us just fine. The location was brilliant - close to food, massage, night markets! and not too far from the bridge. And close to all companies offering tours (we recommend Good Times).
ps dont eat in the restaurant. go out for breakfast!
- Liked — Location, Scenery
