The Royal Bamboo Lodges

Lovely, clean bungalows in a very peaceful, lush setting. One of the few hotels with a pool which was clean and refreshing. Rooms have good AC, fridge, safe and tea & coffee making. Included breakfast was plentiful. The restaurant gives 20% discount to guests & we ate a dinner here which was tasty. You can book any tour or activity from reception- we did the elephant evening feeding. Wished we’d stayed here longer than one night as it was much nicer than our previous accommodation and only about 250 baht more.

We loved this resort. Fabulous location right in the middle of the village. Walking distance to multiple restaurants, shops and bars. The restaurant and rooms and pool set back from the road in stunning tropical surroundings. Staff so friendly and welcoming and helped us with organising activities and taxis . Our room was compact but clean with great amenities such as hanging racks, complimentary snacks, coffee and tea facilities. A nice big bed and bunks for our son. Great aircon. Massage available onsite too! We would definitely stay here again

Wow, lovely bungalows clean and comfy. Grounds well looked after and kept clean. All staff friendly and helpful. Lovely relaxing sitting outside bungalow listening to nature. Some monkeys about 😁. Very close to bars restaurant- have all enjoyed our stay here.

A very pleasant stay indeed. Our room was clean with a good air conditioning unit and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. The pool area is nice and relaxed, if you want to grab a beer from the bar and enjoy it while in the pool then this is no Issue. The breakfast is very basic but there are lots of other options on the main street. My 2 year old son was stung by a wasp in the children’s play park as there was a wasps nest under the climbing frame. I informed a member of staff and it was sorted within 30 minutes. Would stay again.

The property was good but staff will prevent me from staying again. Staff was short with me from the start - asking me what I was there for when I was checking in then cutting me off as if I interrupted them; refusing to answer questions and telling other staff who spoke less English to help me; and most disappointingly misinforming me about park closure saying it was completely off limits to hiking due to wild elephants, but it was only closed to SELF hiking, and OPEN if you hired a guide, which I did not discover until too late. I spent most of my time in my cabin or on my porch, which was generally pleasant. The cabins have tiny windows, so get little natural light. The lights inside are harsh. So it’s really best if you have a somewhere else to go. The bathroom, although immaculate, had gaps in the screens so that mosquitoes and flies were abundant and also due to gaps around the door made their way into the sleeping area. Not a huge deal, but does require some strategizing. The shower was easy to use and a pleasant warm temperature. There were clear instructions on toilet use (do not flush paper, deposit paper in trash bin). It was my first time using a bidet and it was fine. The pool gets full sun, is open 8a-8p, and cleaned every morning. The water is warm and comfortable. The attached restaurant in the front was great - service and food. This is where you want to arrange taxi back up to the bus station.

Ning is an absolute superstar, she organised a fantastic trip for us in the National Park with an overnight stay in a water bungalow - although basic it was very comfortable with a spectacular location and delicious food. We saw elephants, flying fox bats & even otters. She then organised a lovely room for us at the Royal Bamboo Lodge which was so comfortable with beautiful exotice flowers, a great pool and we even got to meet some of the local monkeys. I left my shorts drying at the bungalow and Ning posted them to Bangkok for me and they arrived the following day! Cannot recommend this place enough if you're visiting Khao Sok & looking for a very memorable trip to the National Park. Thanks Ning 🙏
