There's only one review posted thus far on this property and definitely does not represent what I experienced. I was in one of the raft rooms, not the bungalow. The room was adequate. The bathroom was one of those that you want to go in as little as possible. Certainly it is not expensive, but there are several things that cause me to not recommend this location.

First, when I got there, the fellow at the desk couldn't figure out how to take my credit card. I had to pay cash, even though they advertise that they take MasterCard. Later on, I guess it was the manager who came and used the machine for another couple. I then had them use it for me to pay for my room.

Second, no one cleaned the room for the three nights I stayed there. 

Third, when I went into town one day I left my key with the person at reception. That night when I cam back, they couldn't find the key and had to scramble to get another key that mostly worked.

Fourth, there really is no working restaurant anymore. They just serve breakfast, but that's it.

Finally, if you're a farang, you get an "American" breakfast. Fried egg, almost toasted bread, and what they pass off as sausage, but what we call hot dog.

There are many other places in Kanchanaburi to choose from. I would avoid this unless it's one of a few left.

A different experience

These are just some of the words I can use to describe staying at Buasawan. I've stayed here twice over the last 3years and I would definately recommend it. The rooms are spacious, clean and come with air-con. There is a separate restaurant which is on a big raft on the river and the food is delicious.. or even aroy mahk if you know your Thai!

The best thing about this place has to be the wooden seating areas just at the river. After a busy day sightseeing, there was nothing more relaxing than sitting here as the subn goes down evjoying a few ice cold Singha beers, watching the river go by and chatting with friends and loved ones about the days events and what you're going to do the next day. 

One word of warning about the river though, once you get a few metres in from the side, the currect is very strong so not suitable for kids ...or adults for that matter but paddling and cooling your legs is fine.

This resrt is only a few minutes drive from the famous Bridge over River Kwai, the death museum and a many trips can be organised to Tiger Temple, Erawan National Park and Sak Yoi waterfalls. The resort also benefits from free wifi.

I couldn't fault the staff who were freindy, courteous and very helpful.
