'Relax on the riverside at the end of the street,' says the sign at the entrance to KaiKeo Bungalows. Views are terrific, and hammocks on the large balconies are perfect for relaxing. Standard bamboo bungalows are a little dark but are otherwise passably clean and sizeable. The shared bathroom is grimy with a squat toilet, cold shower and concrete floor. They serve food from a generic menu on their great balcony, but only when there are guests staying. Okay at a pinch, but there's a whole new breed of bungalows in town that far surpass these.

Read 2 opinions from Travelfish readers

gorgeous views, loud roosters - 2nd February, 2008
The good stuff: amazing views, a hammock on each bungalow porch, friendly family, water heated over the fire every afternoon for bathing (for a small charge) The bad stuff: uncomfortable bed, uncomfortable pillows, roosters that don't even wait until dawn to start crowing

small bungalows - 14th December, 2006
There are three bungalows, one standing alone with wonderful view, which was unfortunately booked, when we were there, and two others, quite small with not so good views. The bathroom is spacious and clean. They serve meals on demand, the family is friendly.
