Incroyable je recommande !
Pros:

Les chambres sont super confortables super propres et super bien équipées ! Étonnée de trouver ce bout d’hôtel au milieu de nulle part, c’était parfait !! La propriétaire est très arrangeante et super sympa !!

Cons:

Le manque de wifi m’a empêché de pouvoir réserver mes vols et plus aucun vol n’était ensuite bookable. Je recommande à l’hôte de passer sur starlink car le wifi est inutilisable.

Incredible views and great base for dugong watching
Pros:

Incredible views of the river and a lovely place for a quiet, relaxing stay (very different to Coron town). Large, clean rooms and a great balcony. Staff were helpful in organising airport transfers and the local boat trip for an hour to see fireflies and plankton. Very good base for the incredible dugong tours.

Petit hôtel familial absolument génial , je recommande !
Pros:

Superbe petit hotel niché dans la jungle en bord de rivière. Calme et quiétude absolue ... une vraie déconnexion : slow life
Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux, bonne carte au restaurant et saveurs locales . L hotel peut vous organiser des activités diverses et on vient vous chercher en bateau au pied de l hôtel, au river pier ... un luxe de partir et revenir en bateau sur cette belle rivière avant d arriver à la mer :-)

Cons:

Rien .. tout était top !

Aussicht vom Restaurant toll, Essen sehr gut, Rest gewöhnungsbedüftig
Pros:

Ruhe und Natur, tolles frisches Essen

Cons:

Superior Zimmer wie Absteige, Badezimmer verschimmelt, Vorhänge stinken, stickig klamm heiss, nachts Spinnen, Kakerlaken, Gekos zu Besuch, Transportkosten (man ist angewiesen auf das Riverhouse) übertrieben

Pros:

The owner,Judith, is very welcoming and helpful in all situations. Don't be afraid to ask her anything. The kitchen staff were fantastic. It's a very peaceful location, away from hussle and bussle, overlooking the river.
It's 15 minutes from the airport, so perfect for a few nights.

Cons:

A car or motorbike is needed to see or do anything as nothing is in walking distance. But don't forget, Judith can help 😁

Rafraîchissement à prévoir.
Pros:

Très bon emplacement, à proximité de l'aeroport et lieu très sympa dans la nature. Personnel souriant et serviable. Établissement propre et repas correct.

Cons:

Prévoir du cash car tous les paiements se font exclusivement en espèces (resto sur place y compris). Possibilité de payer par Wise ou Revolut (quand le réseau internet est stable). Un appareil à CB serait vraiment indispensable.
Établissement méritant un peu de rafraîchissement, les portes de la terrasse avaient du mal à coulisser et ne fermaient pas à clé. Luminosité trop faible dans la salle de bain et pas d'eau chaude.

Book it - great find
Pros:

Beautiful accommodation with the most stunning view of the river. Staff were all lovely. Food was also lovely. I got a pick up from Coron and dropped off to the airport after in a lovely air conditioned car.

Cons:

Only thing I would say is you cant pay be card. I was able to pay by revolut though which was great

Pros:

Super vriendelijk personeel, lekker eten en een mooie plek wel wat afgelegen, maar daar kunnen ze vervoer voor regelen

Cons:

Nice and quiet with lovely views from the restuarant. Excellent hosts.
Pros:

Breakfast was included and the menu was pretty good. An excellent view from the restuarant, it's lovely and quiet, beautiful green scenery and fresh air. Juditha and her Mother are excellent hosts and very helpful.

Cons:

It's a little out of the way but to be honest this can be a good thing. You can travel from here to the rest of the NE coast and the airport is only about 10 minutes away.

Esperaba otra cosa tras las vacaciones
Pros:

Las vistas del comedor y el desayuno incluido está bastante correcto. Sin grandes lujos pero rico.

Cons:

Me pareció en si un despropósito:

-Zapatillas de “cortesía” usadas y con pelotillas ( de las típicas blancas de los hoteles)

- Toalla del lavamanos con unas manchas rojas de sangre u óxido.

- Hormigas (muchas) saliendo del lavamanos hacia el espejo en hilera.

- Bastante suciedad en la habitación, no era una limpieza a fondo sino por encima.

- Obligación de pagar en efectivo y no disponer de datáfono para hacer pagos con tarjeta de crédito, y encima al no poder pagar con efectivo por ser la última noche y no tener, me puso mala cara ofreciéndome pagar mediante transferencia ( con coste asumido por mi) lo hice sin pegas ya que era la única opción, pero no se creía que se la había hecho porque no le llegaba la confirmación del banco y cuando llegó ya se relajó. ( a pesar de enseñarle las confirmaciones desde mi móvil). La dueña fue desagradable durante esta situación.

- Cena cara y de poca calidad
