Reviews of Ou River House

Fantastic location on the Ou river. Rooms are basic but perfectly fine. The breakfast is nice. There is free tea, coffee and banana all day and the owner is lovely. Super helpful. Definely recommend it. Its about a 10 mins walk to the top of the village and the bridge.

The spectacular view, right on the river opposite cliffs covered in rainforest

Nothing

Serene stay, comfortable room and swimming in the river.

Location abd service

.

Lovely located on the river, every room has a table and chairs outside and sun loungers. It was lovely to relax here and take in the amazing views and watch the world go by. Got our room early also which was great

It’s a bit far out of the town but it suited us after spending two nights in Nong Khiaw already we wanted to relax here. It’s back a bit from the road a bit so a bit of a walk down to it across a bamboo bridge

Best location in entire No g Khiaw. Right on the river , you can take a dip anytime and sit here all day long looking at rivers and mountains. Glad I booked it.

Bathrooms were a bit dated, lock not working and broken tap. But with such location I won’t worry about these things.

Location, breakfast and the staff. It's 90% of the way to being pure paradise, and the price point is very good.

The rooms are tired. They need a serious spruce.. ours was clean and comfortable, but the wallpaper was badly torn, the bathroom door didn't close and there was a dangerously loose floorboard! Quite disconcerting considering it's floating on water!

This is a small paradise! We liked everything! Location is very quiet, bit on side, so you can really have a rest here. And the swimming in the river is so refreshing! The staff was very helpful, breakfast basic, but tasty (eggs, pankaces, omlet, fruits), they also provide the laundry service. And no need to take tuk tuk from the bus station as it's just 2 min walking. Fantastic stay! Highly recommend!

nothing, all was perfect

Staying in a floating hotel was a really neat experience for us. Our rooms were simple but each had a private bathroom. It was really cool to just step over a doorstep and jump straight into the warm river for a swim. The breakfast was pretty decent. Everyone was able to choose something from the menu. Although the place is on the outskirts of the town, it was a few minutes’ walk to the centre. On the other hand, the bus station was very close.

The rooms are not heated, so in bad weather you can end up freezing! We arrived on a very cold and rainy day. Each of us dreamed of warming up our bodies in the hotel, but this did not happen because the room was cold and the bedding was thin. On the following day the weather changed completely and we were enjoying the place. I’d only recommend the accommodation if it is pleasantly warm. The rooms should be better equipped in terms of furniture. There was nowhere to put clothes and we had to put our things on the floor.

Incredible riverside rooms. Dive in right from your bed!

Peaceful and beautiful view.

Just know that every time a boat passes, the deck shakes a little, there is some mold in the room (inevitable) and it seems that all the water from shower, sink and toilet is directly going into the river (but i am not sure)...

Excellent location with great views.

Water may not be the cleanest to swim in. Not sure how the bathroom plumbing is managed with the river this close.

It’s a little rough around the edges but for the price and, more importantly, the location, it’s great. Lovely people and breakfasts too.

Could be even nicer with a bit of sprucing up - especially the steps down to it!
