          We like the Place a little bit outside th city, but very near to the Bridge. The only negative thing are the nighbours with the loud music, mostly the hole Night. I don‘t know, why it is possible to disturb the hole nighbourhood with this noise. Inside the house with aircondition it is possible to sleep.

          Location, views, friendly and helpful staff

          This was the perfect antidote after a few days in Bangkok. We originally booked 1 night but were so bowled over on arrival we booked another night! Beautiful and scenic location overlooking the River Kwai, just a 10 minute walk to the Bridge over the River Kwai and WW2 museums. The staff at Bambooya couldn't have been more helpful and gave us maps and bus routes and times. There are also bicycles and mopeds available to hire. The bungalows are clean, modern and large, all have balconies which overlook the river and are lovely to have breakfast on. We took a bus to the Erawan Waterfalls which is a short journey away from Kanchanaburi (approx 2 hrs) - highly recommended but be warned - go early to avoid the throngs of crowds! Would definitely stay here again,

          A great budget hotel”

          Location, friendly staff and a clean comfortable room.

          The Bambooya is a budget hotel but is in a great location near to the river and only a few minutes walk from the river Kwai bridge. The rooms are small but very clean and comfortable with good air con and most importantly a fast and free wi-fi. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Easy parking facilities next to the hotel. The breakfast is basic but good and a reasonable price. Overall i would certainly recommend especially at a price of @ 500 baht a night.

          Very nice little place!”

          We booked a standard room on Agoda for 3 nights. This was a good stay! The bungalow is very simple, with limited furniture. But the bed is good, the shower is hot and the room very clean. Everything we needed! The guesthouse is nicely maintained, by the river Kwaï, and has its charm. No breakfast at Bambooya but there is an excellent and pretty inexpensive restaurant next door (at the Bamboo House). We found the location perfect, being at a walking distance to the River Kwaï bridge as well as the ‘international area’ of town where it proved very easy to book car and scooter during our stay in Kanchanaburi and area. A very good choice! We will come back!

          Great, central location”

          Loved Bambooya. Was a little doubtful at first because the faculties are a little old, but it’s so conveniently located - close to the War memorial and Deathrail bridge. It was also not far from shops, restaurants, and bars. The staff were amazing; they are all so friendly, they have pet rabbits and let you play with them, and when it was time to leave they organised a van back to Bangkok for me. The environment is great; right on the river (but due to the season, it wasn’t high enough to swim in) but had excellent views of the River Kwai, and the garden is nice too. It’s a quiet place to stay. There are only six units.

          lovely peaceful place with private river view”

          Highly recommend! I planed one night to stay over in Kanchanaburi and extended to two nights partly for this beautiful riverfront guesthouse. good location: a few minutes walk from Railway station 'River Kwai Bridge' good setup: a very lovely small garden facing taken good care by the stuff here; and a few patio in the river front. I come to sit on the bench both mornings to enjoy my breakfast and around sunset time to cool out and also watch a pair of boats coming by. The owner family are friendly and helpful. They have bike to rent and can arrange to book tickets for you. I will choose this place again if i ever visit back Kanchanaburi.

          River view, peaceful location, cozy room

          The rooms were very nice and had great wifi and a/c. Bambooya is close to the river Kwai bridge but a bit far from most of the restaurants and nightlife. I rented a bicycle for 50 baht per day and it was a great idea. Bambooya is peaceful and away from the noise of the city.

          Loved this place!”

          Super charming, great location, nice staff

          I loved staying here and was bummed it could only be for one night. Had we not already had our next night booked, I would have extended my stay here for another night. This place is super charming and has a great, relaxing atmosphere. It truly feels like a resort getaway. We stayed here to do a day trip to Erawan National Park (also amazing!) We walked about 5 minutes to get to the main road where the public bus picks up to take you straight to the park. Super convenient. The owner of Bambooya even came by on her motorbike after we left to make sure we found the bus stop - so sweet! The hotel is off the road and close to the river which is nice, yet also walk-able to lots of restaurants. This was my favorite place we stayed during my 18 days in Thailand.

          Oasis!!”

          This was such a peaceful atmosphere! Bambooya has such a pleasant staff who was always smiling. After Bangkok, I couldn't have asked for anything more. There is a great place to rent motorbikes right across the road and its a short walk to the bridge. It was the perfect location for us! Quiet and right on the river. It is a little way from the bars, but with a motorbike, there's no need to be close to anything. We loved it at BambooYA!

          Beautiful location and wonderful staff”

          Location; Setting; Staff

          Beautifully situated along the banks of the River Kwai only a few yards from the bridge, the individual huts/chalets face on to a central garden, which was lovely to relax in (including the hammock!) I was there at low season, so the price was very good and I think I was the only guest there at times. The manageress couldn't have been more helpful - she checked tours for me, arranged taxis, even gave me a lift into town one morning - I cannot praise her enough. So friendly and so helpful. It was worth staying just to be looked after like that. No THE comfiest matress in the world, but the room had a TV, air con, nice sized bathroom and the verandah faced out onto the river. Lovely! I didn't have any food whilst at the hotel but a number of locals ate here so assume it must be good.

          Cute bunnies everywhere ”

          At first was a bit confusing cos there was another place called Bamboo which isn’t the right one, you have to go in further, Bambooya not Bamboo! Stayed in a cute little bungalow, room was really clean and bed was reasonably comfy. Everything was in good working order. And when you step outside there are bunnies hopping around in the garden. View of the river, walking distance to the bridge. Friendly owner. Would recommend to anyone!
