The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the 'treehouse' design and the escape from Patong's grime, but the steep terrain is a dealbreaker for anyone with mobility issues.

Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The 'Jungle Oasis' vibe that feels miles away from Bangla Road despite being a 15-minute walk
- Private pool villas that actually feel private (mostly)
- The funicular tram system that ferries you up the steep hillside like a Bond villain
Snel Overzicht: A stunning eco-chic hideaway that forces you to choose between killer views and climbing a Stairmaster to get to bed.
Beoordeeld door @BryanG5705151: I was blown away by the treehouse vibe here! My room felt like a private wooden sanctuary, and walking into a rose-petal bath was such a special touch. The transition from the cozy night lighting to the lush green jungle views in the morning was unforgettable.

Reality check
The 'private' pools in some villas are visible from the tram or walkways, so bring a swimsuit.
- You love the 'wabi-sabi' rustic wood aesthetic
- You want to be near Patong nightlife but not sleep inside a subwoofer
- You are fit enough to handle steep stairs and hills
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though some corners get missed.
- Bathroom hygiene: Good, but grout can show age/mildew due to the humidity.
- Maintenance: Wood structures show wear quickly in the tropics; expect some peeling varnish.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and clean, though pool towels can run out late in the day.
- Odors & scents: Occasional musty/damp wood smell in rooms; lobby smells like lemongrass.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is it walkable to Bangla Road?
Yes, but it's a 15-20 minute walk, partly on a busy road. Most guests take a cheap Tuk-Tuk or the hotel shuttle.
Is the pool private?
In the 'Pool Villas,' yes, but sightlines vary. Some are overlooked by the tram or higher walkways.
Is there a deposit?
Yes, 3,000 THB cash deposit is standard at check-in.
Is it kid-friendly?
Technically yes (kids club exists), but the steep stairs and lack of flat running space make it tough for toddlers.
How is the breakfast?
Rated 8.5/10. Good mix of Thai and Western, but can get crowded at peak times.
Does the room smell?
Some guests report a 'musty' smell due to the high humidity and wood construction. AC usually clears it.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Ask for the 'Khanom Phing' cookies—they sometimes leave a jar in the room.
- ✨
The 'Street Restaurant' right at the entrance of the driveway is a solid, cheaper alternative to hotel dining.
- ✨
Happy Hour at the pool bar often has Buy-1-Get-1 deals—worth it for the sunset views.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'Funicular' is slow and breaks down occasionally, meaning you might be walking up that hill.
💡The 'Eco' concept means dim lighting—it can be hard to find things in your suitcase at night.
💡The bathroom layout in some villas is 'open concept'—hope you're comfortable with your roommate.
💡You might find a frog in your outdoor shower (or toilet).
💡The walk back from the beach is uphill—save energy or budget for a taxi.
