"Went to stay at Mad Monkey for 3 days in the shared dorm for the doublebed room for couples. It was some lovely people and very helpful staf. It has happy hour for 4 hours a day, you get a free drink when arriving and they have aircon in the rooms. The rooms are still warm but feel quite private.
We enojyed the pool area, especially at night where you could look at the stars and swim around before going to bed.

"Very central Location and super helpful manager (Thom). My room was very large, cleaned daily and also quite dark. Be aware that the shower and toilet are all one space -sort of like camper-style. Breakfast is good with several choices. I would stay here again to be close to everything but still have the quiet."
"I liked the serenity and layout of the property. The staff was very professional and helpful. The hotel is approximately 10-15 minute walk to the Night Market should you choose not to use the hotel’s shuttle service."
"We enjoyed our 1 night stay at Merry Riverside. Great balcony view of the river, clean and comfy room, nice hot shower, close walking distance to many restaurants and the night market and a good riverside breakfast. Would recommend!"
"I recently had a fantastic stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The highlight of my mornings was definitely the breakfast, it was absolutely delicious!
In addition to the breakfast, the food from the hotel restaurant was really good because they actually have traditional food.
My room was another highlight of my stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved the quality of the sheets; I felt well-rested and relaxed throughout my visit.
This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way, and I look forward to returning in the future!"
"The location was perfect. Quiet. The only draw backs was the mosquitoes in the rooms. No matter how many we kill, they always around. We all got bit. My son got the worst."
"have had the great fortune of being a guest at Rosewood on numerous occasions, and each visit reminds me why I always look forward to returning.
This most recent stay was for three nights, and once again, the experience was exceptional. I could easily make a lengthy list of reasons why Rosewood continues to stand out, but for me, it always comes back to two things: the architectural richness of the property, and above all, the extraordinary hospitality of the people who bring it to life.
The Rosewood team has a rare ability to make you feel not simply accommodated, but genuinely cared for. Every detail feels intentional, every interaction thoughtful, and every moment quietly refined. There is a sense that the entire team is there with one purpose — to enrich your visit in a way that feels effortless, gracious, and deeply personal.
The property itself offers everything a traveler could hope for when seeking serenity in the heart of nature. Surrounded by a canopy of lush trees, natural gardens, and the peaceful sound of a tranquil stream running through the property, Rosewood creates a sanctuary that feels both elegant and restorative.
I am already excited to return again next year.
My sincere thanks to the entire Rosewood team, and to the remarkable General Manager, Mr. Jonathan, whose leadership is clearly reflected in every aspect of the guest experience. He and his team ensure that a visit to Rosewood is not merely a stay, but a lasting memory."
