- "The place is very nice, peaceful and beautiful. The personnel speak almost no English but everyone was extremely kind and helpful and google translator was very useful. The room is exceptionally comfy with amazing view over the river and mountains. It's far away from any shops etc so you need to get a taxi to go even to seven eleven. The breakfast is a set dish from 5 choises plus they have cereals and yoghurt. Also there are no western restaurant nearby (not that we knew of anyway) so we ate both evenings at the hotel. The food was very good, mainly asian choices. To arrive to the place we took a train from Kanchanaburi (River Kwai Bridge). Train was 100 baht per person and took 2 hours. From Nam Tok station to hotel the sawn-thaw taxi cost 300 baht but we negotiated it to 200. On one day we took same type of taxi to Erawan waterfalls, one hour drive and taxi for whole day was 1500 baht. The national park admission was 300 baht per person. Taxi waited us the whole time so we could spend as long as we wanted walking among the waterfalls."

- "Incredible hotel. Everything was brilliant - staff, room, facilities. Best hotel we stayed in during our 2 week trip to Thailand!" - "Lovely place! They thought about everything, really. So much attention to detail. Our room was on the ground floor, opposite the reception, and we found it quite noisy...also from the rooms above us, but it didn't really disturb us." - "The Modeva is near 'the' bridge and several places to eat on the river. It looks new and our room was really spacious and light with a big, comfortable bed. The staff are all lovely and each afternoon when we got back from sightseeing and went to the very welcome pool they brought us refreshing drinks - a nice touch. The River Kwai bridge and train trip are, naturally, really touristy. If you want some peace with your history and are fairly fit - walk the Hellfire Pass trail. Well worth it."

- "The view was absolutely stunning - the staff were extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly. The food at the restaurant was to die for!! It is relatively out of the way, but well worth it and would 100% stay here again. We planned our stay just to visit the Kanchanaburi sites, however in hindsight, I would have booked an extra night or two just to relax at the hotel - our highlight of the Thai trip!" - "Perfect stay from the first minute until the last one! The Waterfall Pool Villa is amazing, well done full of fun & useful amenities, Marshall speaker in house, L’Occitane amenities, & the unique Cross brand lifestyle fun touch! The breakfast is always tasty, serving super fast & with a large menu (Sparkling wine available if you want to flex a bit!) Last but not least, the staff.. They made us feel so welcomed & with a sincere communication & smile! Kudos to K. Meow & K. Ning & everyone else! You are an amazing Team guys!"

- "Located on the river with a view of the bridge. Breakfast was excellent!" - "The hotel location was perfect. A short walk from the bridge and the train station (the stop after Kanchanaburi when coming from Bangkok). It was easy to get a tuk tuk to the town centre or bikes were available from the hotel. The setting of the hotel was amazing. We loved spending time at the restaurant, on the terrace or at the pool , all overlooking the river. Very tranquil. Delicious food both at breakfast, when there were so many choices, and at other mealtimes. Our room was small but had everything we needed. The staff were kind and attentive."
