Okay, my husband warned me that this place was "rustic", which I was prepared for. But I was not prepared for the toilets which only flushed with buckets of water, or the inhospitable staff who seem bothered by questions and hesitant to help you with your bags up and down the numerous steep stairs The only saving grace of this...

I think it should be 3.5 stars instead of 3. We reserved a double room (not on the raft) for 400 THB. Good location on the water, but a little bit of a walk to the main room. The bathroom was very big, and the room had both air-con and a fan. The bed was two single beds pushed together,... More

The place is excellent, prices are low, you get the true experience living on the river (ask for a riverside room). Food is good, restaurant is just upstairs from the room, you have a beautiful view of the river. Definitely recommended, but beware this is a basic standard accommodation, a bamboo hut on a river...

Stayed in one of the floating rooms. Good view and atmosphere. Air con and fan was a bonus. Restaurant at the guesthouse served a good breakfast. One of the guys working there was nice but very quiet. Toilets don't flush- provided with a bucket to do the job. Beds were a little hard and the blanket was more of a... More

Located on the shore of the Kwai river, this guesthouse is a very nice spot. Floating bungalows are good for the view (the others don't have any), it's a bit shaky in the morning because of the tourist boat but it's still quiet. Beds aren't good, no double bed but only singles next to each other. Staff is awful, never... More

This was our Second visit to VN Guesthouse we loved it so much last year that we came back. We stayed here for 2weeks we wanted a relaxing peaceful fortnight and that is what we got. Again we stayed in a raft room in the corner room it has 2 windows which makes it lovely and light and a fab... More

Great value for money as you can't beat a little rustic raft house on River Kwai for 400B/night, but the staff was so friendly & helpful when it came to booking a tour, transport to Koh Tao and advice on places to see in Kanchanaburi. Kaan (sp?) speaks very good english so that helped us a lot! The food was... More

VN Guesthouse is right on the river bank, 2 blocks from the Death Railway museum and 2 blocks from the main backpacker's drag. We rented a raft room with a river view for B400/night. The room was large and clean, and well air-conditioned. The bathroom was small but relatively clean. There was a very pleasant small deck on facing the... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and it ruined guesthouses in Thailand for us, never had better value since. On arrival there was only the river bank rooms available, when we would have liked raft. These rooms cost nothing and were still alright, a little boxy, but with own shower, towels, water, etc for about $4? Even a little table... More
