This place is mind-blowing! The beautiful surroundings and amazing animal encounters made our stay unforgettable. The educational tour for the kids was super informative and fun. The staff provided wonderful service and the food was simple but delicious. The spacious and clean rooms offered a jaw-dropping view of the compound and its wandering elephants. The Eco-Lodge was worth every penny, with its modern and cozy design. The tranquil atmosphere and dedication to animal rescue felt authentic. The sunset and moonlit jungle created a magical experience. A special shoutout to our fantastic tour guide Natalie. Don't miss the day trip, it's a lifetime experience. This is an absolute must-see and the best experience in Thailand!

My stay at I Love Phants Lodge was truly unforgettable. The lodge itself was modern and cozy, with an open kitchen/dining area where you could interact with elephants looking for treats. The view from my room was breathtaking, with elephants roaming freely, gibbons swinging in the trees, and a variety of birds flying about. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I particularly enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere and the opportunity to meet the dedicated volunteers and founder of the lodge. The highlight of my stay was the magical experience of observing the jungle come alive at sunset, with the moon illuminating the surroundings and fireflies glittering around the lake. It truly felt like one of the most magical places I have ever been to.

I had a blast exploring the vast wilderness trying to find my way to the lodge. The staff was so kind to almost charge me twice, such a thoughtful gesture.
The stairs to the rooms were a death trap, my back may never recover.

The Love Phants Lodge was spotlessly clean and cozy - with comfy beds and beautiful views of the elephant route. The outdoor shower was a unique experience under the stars. The buffet meals overlooking the elephants and gibbons were delicious and the perfect way to end the day. Plus - the lodge is located close to the Wildlife Friends Foundation - giving us an amazing opportunity to learn about and support their work.
100% Recommend.

Located in the middle of nowhere, this hotel is ideal for anyone looking to disconnect from their routine and immerse themselves in a wild environment. The garden rooms are decorated with elephant-themed details and have comfortable beds with quality cotton bedding. The spacious bathroom features an outdoor shower and the fridge is stocked with drinks. The saltwater pool is a great addition, and the breakfast is a mix of European and Thai. Plus, you get to watch elephants roam around from the restaurant and sun loungers.
Some meals at dinner ran out quickly and weren't replaced.

We were in awe of the incredible view from our room at I Love Phants Lodge. Watching elephants roam freely, gibbons swing in the trees, and a variety of birds fly around made our stay truly unforgettable. The staff was friendly and always there to assist us.
Finding the lodge was a bit challenging due to poor signposting, and parking outside the garden rooms was a bit tight. However, these were minor inconveniences that didn't overshadow the overall experience.

I recently had an incredible stay at a hotel tucked away in a remote and beautiful location. The value for money was superb, especially considering the breathtaking views from the rooms with their own viewing balconies overlooking a mesmerizing elephant route. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the cozy and well-maintained rooms to the heartfelt efforts in supporting a good cause. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring our stay was nothing short of exceptional.
All in all, my experience at this hotel was faultless. Everything was top-notch!

During our Easter weekend stay, we really enjoyed the interaction with the animals, especially the elephants, which were always close to our balcony. The meals were delicious, with large portions. We also appreciated the on-site bicycles, which added an extra fun touch to our stay. the location in the heart of the jungle was breathtaking and allowed us to disconnect from the world and enjoy nature.
We found the check-in and check-out process to be a bit unorganized, causing us some minor inconvenience. we noticed that the air conditioning in our room was only a fan, causing the room to get quite warm in the evening.

We had an unforgettable stay in the heart of a wildlife rescue center. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the accommodation in the Eco-Lodge was modern and cozy. The best part was being able to interact with the rescued animals and learn more about their lives from the informative tour guide. The location was also quite remote, which only added to the sense of adventure and immersion in nature. Finally, we loved the breakfast spread in the morning and the fact that the hotel had a pool for us to cool off in.
Could not be improved in any way. The stay was flawless and exceeded all of our expectations.
