Little Eden

Aptly named -- great riverside spot!

This awesome and popular little guesthouse overlooks Lang River at the entrance to Soppong as you arrive from Pai. Little Eden has a great garden with a small but cute swimming pool, and pleasant wooden chalets with a spectacular sitting area overlooking the river. The restaurant has pretty good food including a range of Western faves and also has internet access. The guesthouse is an easy five-minute walk to the village centre and bus stop, or the similar standard Soppong River Inn, should it be full. Plenty of trekking services and information on the surrounding area is available and they can arrange massages.

Little Eden reviews

Read 5 opinions from Travelfish readers

Very good - 26th October, 2008
Thanks to Pen and friend; the place is very good! The setting in a huge garden with a pool and a large pavilion on the river is lovely; the food is good and all the staff make you feel home at once. Go for the better rooms; the A-Frames are to cramped for stays more than 1 day.

Simply comfy - 17th March, 2007
We stayed in the smaller room attached to the honeymoon suite. It was simply gorgeous with stone walls and wooden window shutters. It was very clean although I'm pretty sure I got some bed bug bites there. Pen is super nice and the first person who gave us directions to hike independently instead of charging us for her guiding services. That said, she was extremely busy over the holiday season, and it was quite the wait for meals etc. Having said that, her food was worth the wait as there was not much else in Soppong! Still, we stayed 3 or 4 nights and really had a fantastic time exploring the hills and caves and met a lot of friendly locals.

beautiful, not comfy - 21st November, 2009
the place is gorgeous. and the deck that overlooks the river is very nice. but the beds in the bungalows are very hard and room small.

You're the tops - 23rd October, 2008
This place was perfect when I needed to relax after a bout of sickness. The better rooms are expensive but in no way overpriced and the full package is easily worth the cost, as use of the river balcony with mosquito nets and hammock is included in your cost for any room.

Simple yes, comfy no - 19th June, 2005
We can only comment on the bungalows, which are set chockablock in a single row, but found them cramped, stuffy, and with some very uncomfortable and worn mattresses. Toilets were clean, but small, with a hand-dip flush toilet. The small pool created a nice scene, but the grounds were sort of small and the bungalows were too small and hot to relax in. Agree with the reviewer that they were overpriced, but not bad for something in a village as small as Soppong.
