BOOK ONLINE, or pay triple the price

Firstly, we called up to book the hotel and they told us the only rooms available were the deluxe rooms at 3000B a night. So we booked online for the standard room (there were plenty available) for...

Ideal

Honestly the worst place I stayed in all of Thailand
Date: 25 Jun 2013

Paradise in Paradise

Amazing setting and food
Date: 23 Jan 2013
Firstly, we didn't know about this place when we were researching where to stay in PP Don. We found it only by walking back from Long Beach towards the Ao Ton Sai. We spent two evenings enjoying the... 

Some good, some bad...
Date: 31 Dec 2012
Stayed here with a friend in April and had a mixed experience. The good: We choose to "splurge" and get one of the villas and it was well worth it! It was so gorgeous -- beautiful wood, spacious deck,...

Feels like Swiss Family Robinson
Date: 11 Dec 2012
Living in a bungalow is awesome. Staying at Viking Resort is equally awesome. They have bungalows situated on several beaches spanning probably about half a mile. The bungalows themselves are funky,...

Too far and expensive to get to
Date: 11 Dec 2012
I moved here after my horrible accommodation in the main part of phi phi. At first it was amazing, a treehouse with a hammock.. then it went down hill. It cost me at least 150 if not 200 baht to get...

Such an experience!
Date: 01 Dec 2012
My partner and I stayed here for two nights. We loved it! As we were checking in after given a nice cold water as we walked into the open restaurant area we were told that we have been upgraded to a... 

Beautiful Resort - Bad Tree house Bungalow

Went for a night but stayed a week.
Date: 06 Nov 2012
We booked to stay at Viking for a night on our way to Koh Samui but found the Viking to be a part of paradise and decided to spend all our time there instead. Our rooms were like huts in the tree...

Great location, but service/food lets it down

It's very impressive pulling into Viking Resort on a long boat (make sure you get the free boat from the pier), but the service here isn't great. We waited a long time in reception before anyone...

Loved it!

Improvement needed to live up to its name
Date: 18 Oct 2012
The Viking is one of the more established beach/jungle resorts on Phi Phi and is visually very attractive indeed. We booked it on arrival at the main pier (strongly advised in low season to get the...

Bugs and rats in the room

It's probably the worst experience I ever had in an hotel: the room is full of bugs during the nigth, it crawl in the bags and in the clothes but i can afford it,the real problem was the rat ( far...

Loved It!
Date: 11 Aug 2012
This was such a great experience. We stayed 3 nights in Treehouse 1 and it was fantastic. Yes it is rustic but you have your own toilet and shower and we had hot water. It is an easy walk to town...

Our best option on Phi Phi... unfortunately
Date: 29 Jul 2012
Well the first thing to know is that it is hard to find a reasonably priced, nice place to stay on Koh Phi Phi Don. There are plenty of overpriced, fancy resorts - but thats not what we were looking...

Loved it
Date: 21 Jul 2012
Not for everyone, but basic, rustic, comfortable. We stayed at the Twin Palms in Phuket and Rocky's Resort in Koh Samui - the Viking Resort was about a 10th of the price of both of these and we...

Too natural for us... a lot of bugs.
Date: 30 Jun 2012
When we first arrived in the Viking, we had one of the expensive rooms in the trees cause everything else was booked. The room itself was amazing. Very luxurious with a tree right in the middle of...

Very beautiful, but wildlife in the room

The resort is very beautiful with a beautiful private beach and little wooden huts in the jungle. This leads however to wildlife in the room and bathroom! Very big crab in bathroom, many cockroaches...

No problems really. For certain people only though
Date: 24 Jun 2012
I am reviewing the Traditional Standard room with no A/C and outside shower in the Hot Season. This is also the cheapest room they have. I stayed for 5 nights in my bamboo hut in June, which is the...    

Nice concept poorly delivered
Date: 22 Jun 2012
We arrived to Koh Phi Phi with no accommodation booked but with a recommendation for the Viking Resort from a lonely planet guide. It was reasonably priced so we decided to go with it. They collect...

Paradise for those nature lovers
Date: 09 Jun 2012
Vikings Resort is a wonderful hotel for those who love the wild. Everything about it seems as though mankind barely touched it and let nature do the job to make the tree houses (the hotel rooms),...

Rude Staff and Sleepless nights
Date: 07 Jun 2012
We stayed here for 4 nights. Initially we were impressed by the rustic charm of the place. We stayed here as a "treat" despite it being above our budget. Our first bungalow the roof was loose on so...

Dream place but catastrophic management
Date: 18 May 2012
The place is as nice as it looks on the pictures BUT: - very dirty "standard room" (so not the cheapest one) upon checkin in (sand everywhere, toilet not cleaned, old shampoos in the shower that only...

A smart choice for a location, however there is a room for improvement
Date: 08 May 2012
We've spent 4 nights at the Viking in late September 2010 and we did not regret it. The location was perfect. 10-15 mins walking to the village and 5 mins to Long beach which was very nice. Apart...

Fantastic, funky

We stayed here i mid April in the superior tree house T3. It was the most fantastic room I have ever stayed in, really beautifully decorated in a funky cool style with so many tastefull details. The...

Loved it!
Date: 19 Apr 2012
The Viking has its own part of the island between Long Beach and the main town. Nice quite beach away from all the Phi Phi madness, but close enough to walk. There is no direct road, but really nice...        

The best spot on Koh Phi Phi Don
Date: 19 Apr 2012
We had an amazing stay at Viking Resort on Koh Phi Phi - it was the perfect spot for our time on the party island - it's one of the only places where you don't have to listen to the thumping music all...   

What a trip...what an experience!
Date: 09 Apr 2012
We absolutely loved our stay at Viking! We are two teachers from the USA, living in Abu Dhabi and decided to take a bit of a risk on this resort, but we were not at all disappointed! We stayed in the...

Unique place
Date: 07 Apr 2012
All the place right in Phi Phi are dirty and small or over prices and not unique. Do yourself a big favor and take a longboat taxi to Viking II. You will find a little jewel not over run with...   

Pure Nature!

Great bungalows, private beach, chill music.
Date: 10 Jan 2012

This place is better than the tripadvisor marks make out
Date: 05 Jan 2012
The rooms and restaurant/receoption areas are excellently furnished and decorated. The lights in our room were a little dark but no big deal. We were in 4A and enjoyed the outdoor hammock and sitting...

A nature disappointment!!!
Date: 02 Jan 2012
Knowing that Koh Phi Phi is very touristy, we have chosen our resort a bit outside of the hustle of Phi Phi. The location of the Vikings is great. In between beaches and completely hidden in nature....

Great location on the Island, the service could do with a make over
Date: 01 Jan 2012
Booked this place on the hope it was good because it has not done so well with reviews. To be honest the service is average at best it is very much a resort and you do not get that homely welcoming...

Best Place on the Island
Date: 28 Dec 2011
Service is terrible. Absolutely. As is probably the case with most places on Koh Phi Phi. On the other hand, this place has it's own private beach, which is perfect for swimming. The small beach...

Great Location
Date: 13 Dec 2011
If you want a "back to nature" feel then the location is perfect, you truly are nestled in the trees (we stayed in C2), yet an easy 20min walk from Tonsai. The bungalows are simply beautiful,...

Beautiful rooms BUT awful staff and service
Date: 06 Dec 2011
That's the big problem of this place where we stayed 3 nights. Location is very good, the room beautiful and authentic however they don't make any effort on the service. Let's be clear, they just...

Beautiful makmi tree houses
Date: 30 Nov 2011
The resort is set in the trees, literally. It has basic rooms that I think are dirty and over priced but the real hidden gem is their makmi rooms. Large wooden studios in the trees with amazing views,...

Great location, but expensive, grimy and they will steal your things
Date: 30 Nov 2011
The location of this place was great, right on the beach with two private beaches infront of the resort. That being said, unfortunately everything else about this place was bad.The staff aren't...

Attitude of staff is very disappointing

Cool place but.......
Date: 26 Nov 2011
There were goods and bads about this resort. The good: cool bungalows (Makmai 3C and D) with a beautiful, comfortable patio outside, good food, nice beach, easy boat rental with a very nice captain,...

Its Charms Are Also Its Weaknesses
Date: 21 Nov 2011
Beautiful "rustic" resort that made its weaknesses into its identity and charming sellpoints. Basically Ko Phi Phi island does not really have any true traditional hotel locales, thus Viking is really...

Could be fantastic but they fail on the basics
Date: 09 Nov 2011
Ok this is an Eco resort, so no hot water, bugs everywhere. But you arrive by longboat and when I saw the place I was really excited to see it - looked like the place with friendly people, good...

Pricey for what you get
Date: 07 Nov 2011
This place could be a really nice place to stay when visiting Phi Phi as it is out of the main tourist area, however, the staff here knows that the amount of tourists on the island will force people...

(Directions!) You can't have it all.
Date: 30 Oct 2011
Tripadvisor currently has separate reviews of Viking Nature Resort and Viking Palace Resort, but they are one and the same. When booking your stay, don't book using their website as the prices are...

Don't stay here BEDBUGS !!!!!
Date: 26 Oct 2011
First the Check in was nice and everything seems to be ok. Just ok nothing special. The Island is amazing but do it as a day trip and stay somewhere on the Mainland or other island. After the... 

Lovely hut!
Date: 20 Oct 2011
We spent 2 nights at Viking in room D1. This place reminded me about my childhood in the countryside that our family had the same hut style. D1 was a lovely room with a hamock at the balcony, my...

Quieter than Tonsai, average for the price
Date: 27 Aug 2011
The first thing I would say is that if you have mobility issues DO NOT even CONSIDER staying here. The main reception is right in between two walks of death! To one side are exposed tree roots acting...

Great place if you know what you're in for
Date: 27 Aug 2011
I stayed at the Viking Nature Resort for 4 nights with my partner in Makmai 5 and was overall really happy with the place, I'd definitely recommend it to others and will most likely look at staying...

Beautiful room, break your leg access, indifferent staff...stay away.
Date: 20 Aug 2011

A fantastic, charming alternative to concrete and air-con
Date: 14 Aug 2011

Stayed here after 4 weeks touring thailand this year this was the beech leg of the trip and our last week, i was aware that it was no 5star when i booked but it was fab in a weird sort of way! after...

Decent for low/medium budget
Date: 24 Jul 2011
This resort wasn't a bad choice in Kho Phi Phi, everything is generally expensive there. We stayed in the standard bungalow for a 1000 Baht. - The rooms were neat and nicely decorated although...

fantastic, but don't expect too much!
Date: 19 Jul 2011
My boyfriend and I spent a long time looking for suitable accomodation on phi phi as most places had really negative reviews or were really expensive. When we found this reviews were minimal and we...

Paradise just like it used to be (ie. no hot water/ no air conditining
Date: 19 May 2011
I read a lot of bad reviews before we got there. And I think it all comes down to expectations - if you look at the website, see the rooms and the prices through western eyes, you expect certain...

Nice place but could be better
Date: 27 Apr 2011
I really like this place and the environment around. Beautiful beach, the forest, great area... I really enjoyed the bungalows too. So in one word, I really enjoyed my stay there! But I think it...

Rip Off
Date: 05 Apr 2011
Stay away of this resort! It's a rip off and very noisy. Sheets and blanckets were dirty altough we stayed in the 4000 baht/night room Makmai 1A. Smaller rooms like superior and standard are as big as...

Beautifull resort in noisy location

Great stay, but be prepared.

Very rustic, nice enough but too country for me ;)
