About the hotel:
We were a family of four and rated the Hotel most highly on everything. It really was a most enjoyable stay, although we were only there for three nights. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. As a family that wanted a bit of an up-market hotel and away from the normal tourist hotels - we were most happy. We would gladly go back.

About the hotel:
We have booked after an extensive search in the internet for a suitable place for a family with small children (we have a 1.5 year old girl). The hotel met our expectations and more. We booked for 5 days and extended two times for 4 nights every time. The staff is very friendly especially to children. The pool (boat) has a big children s pool and the beach is beautiful. The atmosphere on the beach is perfect for families and the sand is soft and clean. We have booked for the special prices and we think that it is an excellent value for money. The regular prices are thought, to high where as the rooms needs to be refurbished. Nevertheless, we recommend the hotel and we will be happy to come back there.

About the hotel:
Prior to booking at the Imperial Boat House Hotel I did a lot of research on various hotels on Koh Samui.My parameters were to find a hotel not that far away from Chaweng with good hotel transport to Chaweng.Also we wanted an apartment above ground level as a lot of people complained at other hotels re lizards and bugs etc.We booked a Premier Room at the Boat House and the room was excellent.There was a separate shower as well as a full bath.The breakfast was excellent and the beach was very clean with excellent sand and not stone as in some other areas.Our booking through the internet was flawless and my wife and I have no hesitation in recommending the Imperial Boat House hotel.

About the hotel:
I was very pleased with my choice - always a bit worrying when you book online - but no complaints. The hotel and surrounds were lovely, food was good too. Clean rooms and helpful staff. My biggest disappointment was with what s happened to Koh Samui itself - lots of trash lying around, such a shame.

About the hotel:
Lovely hotel and grounds. We stayed in a poolside terrace room- this was ideal as was ground level. The rom was clean and comfortable. fresh towels daily and everything you would expect down to razor kit, sewing kit etc. 2 free bottles of water daily. fresh fruit daily. breakfast was brilliant- lots to choose from. Main restaurant was excellent although more expensive than restaurants along the beach, although some of those event hough they looked a bit dodgy the food was ok. Staff and service excellent- all very helpful outside the hotel there is nothing much to do or see though and its a bit like beirut before or after the bombing.there is a free shuttle bus to the main town (free in day but small fee in the evening)this town , chewang i think it was called was just one long road full of shops with trinkets etc for sale. we did have a good time thoough- it was our wedding anniversary during the week and the hotel made us a cake- how sweet!!

About the hotel:
Thanks to Boat House and Sawadee, we all had a great time. Especially our 14-month-old son loved the beach. Staff is extremely friendly and ready to help 24/7. Great landscape. We originally booked for 3 nights but then extended it to a week. Honeymoon suit was spacious and comfortable. Only negative issue were the mosquitos. Breakfast was rich in choises. Beach resataurant was good but pricy, so we tried other restaurants nearby, or went easily to Chaweng with shuttle of the hotel.
About the reservation service:
perfect timing and organization. thank you very much!!!

THE HISTORY OF THE BOAT SUITES
img
For many years now tourists have chosen The Imperial Boat House Hotel as the ideal destination to spend an exotic tropical holiday in Thailand. One of the reasons for this is the unique concept of the hotel with its strong nautical theme and most notably, the thirty-four authentic rice barges. These were once fully functional river barges that operated along Thailand's famous Chao Phraya River or River of Kings.

As you may well know the old name for Thailand was the Kingdom of Siam, a name synonymous with the spice trade made famous by such people as Marco Polo. The principal means of transport in those days was by water and so expansive were the waterways in the capital, that it was once known as the Venice of the East. With the abundance of teak in Thailand at that time and the many qualities of this wood, it was the natural choice for the construction of the rice barges and continued to be so up to recent times. Thirty-four of these working boats were transported across the Gulf of Thailand to the island of Samui to take up residence at The Imperial Boat House Hotel. Never having been sailed on seawater before, the journey took its toll on these natural treasures and painstaking restoration was required. After the exterior had been completed work began on converting the barges into luxury suites.

img
The great attraction of the boat suites is their rich heritage and their natural wooden construction, indeed they are the only ones of their kind in the world today! The antiquity of the barges and their colorful history are interwoven with the unique experience of staying in these suites. You might encounter this during your stay, as the barges may creek from the slightest movements in the wood, caused by changes in temperature and humidity. At times they may even smell a little, due to the effects of years of transporting rice to various destinations along the River of Kings, which has engrained itself into the teak wood exterior of the barge. Each rice barge is a porthole to a bygone age, and we hope that these rare disturbances will not prove too troublesome, but conversely, will heighten your appreciation of the unrivaled experience of staying in a boat suite during your holiday on beautiful Koh Samui.
