Villa la Flora
Compare prices
Tucked into Tambon Tha Ma Kham in Mueang Kanchanaburi district, Villa la Flora is a villa-style resort that doubles as a café stop for passing visitors. The property is noted for its dark green lawns, garden atmosphere, and distinctive room architecture, and it sits within reach of Kanchanaburi's major drawcards, including the Bridge over the River Kwai, World War II historical sites, waterfalls, and caves.
Visitor experiences here are genuinely mixed, which is worth factoring into any booking decision. Guests highlight the appealing café, with hot and cold coffee, frappe, and tea options available at fair prices, along with rooms that are described as well-decorated and comfortable by some. The property is pet-friendly, with at least one guest reporting no extra charge for bringing dogs. Breakfast receives positive mentions, including both rice and American-style options. However, other guests note that the grounds show signs of wear, that some rooms lack basic furniture such as chairs, and that cleanliness in certain areas falls short. Beds have been flagged as uncomfortable by at least one reviewer.

Reviews from Google
Cozy accommodation with a beautiful garden. Some staff members were attentive and helpful. Rooms were comfortable and well decorated but not well clean. There was some dust on shelves. In one room that we stayed in, the bad smell came from the toilet drain. Breakfast was good with Boiled rice soup and western breakfast set. It was enough for us. The resort kept the garden and swimming pool clean. Price was reasonable.
The room is clean and beautiful. I brought two dogs at no extra charge. The breakfast was very good — they served boiled rice and an American breakfast.
This place has so much potential. Pictures need updated. The grounds are run down. The beds are like sleeping on box springs. No chairs in the room, only cement benches. The pool was full of leaves and bugs therefore unusable. There is nothing around there. And no taxi service in area.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
