The staff was very understanding and helpful, we had a day of travel issues and disagreements- they met us with acceptance and kindness through all of it. Even though we actually gave them a bit of a hard time (so, sorry about that!)The resort is exactly how it is advertised, cleaning staff was great and wow, those guys can carry heavy bags with ease!

We noticed that other parts of the island were under construction and it was very messy on the back side of the resort. I can imagine it is difficult to get garbage or debris off of the island though. This is an authentic and rustic island stay. My fiancé and I were completely happy with what we booked.

If you are looking for some distance from the beach parties to recharge, this is your spot!

This was an amazing experience. The rooms are beautiful, the beds comfy and great pillows which I have found to be a rarity in Thailand. The breakfast buffet was the only slight letdown as it was usually cold but the rest of the food was delicious. Overnight there was a fun fire show and really good live music. 10/10 I highly reccomend

We were upgraded on our arrival. We were provided with a bungalow with a view on the sea. We really enjoyed our stay and ended up staying one more night. It's a very beautiful resort in the jungle. The resort has his own private beach and is secluded (20 minutes walk from the pier). The breakfast (buffet) was good. The staff was nice and helpful.

Fabulous place! Just gorgeous! Food is great! Private beach, Long Beach and snorkeling just a few minutes walk away. Rooms are amazing. The only thing noteworthy was depending on your room location you will hear the long tail boats driving by. But that certainly didn’t ruin it for us! Awesome place!

Room was gorgeous and exceeded all our expectations. Breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfast we’ve had. Location of it being away from the main area of phi phi is amazing - so much less crowded and so peaceful. It is a hike to the main town - about 30 minutes, so be prepared for that if you plan on doing anything near the pier. The private beach was amazing!

The room was actually much more spacious than we expected, one of those rare occasions where reality is better than the photos online. However, I’m not sure if it was the proximity to the beach or the unusually rainy week we experienced, but the room had a persistent damp smell, as if it hadn’t been aired out for a while or the bedding hadn’t fully dried.

Another point to note is the hotel’s location. It’s a solid 25–30 minute walk from town, and we were under the impression that they offered regular free boat transfers. That’s not the case. They provide one complimentary transfer at check-in and another at check-out, but beyond that, each boat ride (if one is available) costs 150 Baht per person. This became a real issue for us because the heavy rain meant there wasn’t much to do around the hotel, so we often ended up walking nearly two hours each day to get to town. While the path is mostly paved and lit, it’s full of ups and downs and quite a few stairs, so it can be tiring.
Breakfast was just average.
The staff speaks English, but only to a very limited degree.

Very unique and creative place. Cottages nestled in the trees connected by footpaths. You should be in good shape to stay here, walking up and down the paths is not for physically challenged. For us it was totally worth it to have the privacy of our suite and the beach. The beach there is the best part of the resort, and better than any resort we stayed at in Thailand. PhiPhi island is a magical place. The only downside is those damn long tail boats they are so loud.
Breakfast was good. Air con was fine. Staff good and helpful.

It's directly on the beach which is gorgeous and there is a hidden cove around the corner there is also easy access to Long Beach, so when the beach is in the shade you can go to Long Beach. You can use the accommodations canoe to go round the island to another gorgeous deserted beach. I like the fact the restaurant has sand underfoot. It feels quirky and authentic. The rooms are massive and the decor is very tasteful.

Over priced for the amenities or lack there of at this hotel. No pool, no gym, restaurant is mediocre at best and ridiculously expensive for Thailand, quality also not great. There is a boat that takes you to and from the main pier, but they don’t tell you that you have to pay for it until you check out and get ding with a big tab. Laundry was also outrageously expensive, also to note is that they lost my laundry, nowhere to be found when I went to pick it up.

This hotel was really good. It’s scenic, offers many amentities, but is wuite far from town (we walked 20-30min to and fro each time).

My review will primarily be about the hotel’s service though.

In the first room I stayed, the AC didn’t work. We think it started working but broke some time while sleeping. My friend and I were miserable and woke up in the middle of the night.

We brought our concerns to the hotel staff and they gave us a bigger and better room that also came with free breakfast.

I have no regrets staying at Viking Heritage Hotel

Beautiful, comfortable, chilled

Our room was beautiful, large comfy bed, great shower, clean yet homely. My favourite part was the lovely outside balcony with large and d very comfortable hammock, it was worth paying the extra for this room type.
The location is great if you re happy to be be away from the main town, although we walked into town twice and found it a fairly easy and very pretty walk. I really liked being away from the hustle and bustle. Long beach is a short but steep walk away, this would be a nice place to stay, with some good snorkeling (we saw the black tip reef sharks t shark point) but not as pretty as Viking Resort bay.
The restaurant at the resort was better than I expected, not the best food ever but the fried rice was super tasty and prices not too high. Lots of choice at breakfast.
The staff were all pleasant and helpful.
Overall very happy with my choice to stay here and would recommend.

We were left waiting in the rain at Tonsai Pier for 45 minutes before our free shuttle boat arrived. Then transported very insafely by tractor trailer to the reception area where very unfriendly staff checked us in. The room we were given was 5 star, but entailed climbing lots of uneven steps. Beautiful surroundings, but unfortunately there is lots of rubbish scattered around the resort. The reception and dining area could do with a major revamp. Some small changes could turn this into a great resort.

Beautiful resort we stayed in the individual wooden huts with air conditioning. The menu is extensive and excellent value for money. Staff are friendly and very helpful, irs a 15 min walk along the coast path to the town which is pitch dark at night but there are water taxis all night long which cost very little. The only downside is that if you have a waterside room the motors from the taxi at night are noisy.

Greta place - back to nature and feels Thai

Viking Nature Resort is a lovely spot on Ko Phi Phi, close enough to the village for excursions & partying bit far enough away to be peaceful & relaxing.
Getting the boat to the hotel is fun and the porters carrying our bags in & our incl to the room are a credit to the hotel.
Food is good- mix of Thai food and some more International dishes, same for breakfast.
Bar service good- from cold Chang to fresh coconuts.
The place has a luxurious feel to it- lots of things are considered for the customer but is not 5 stay luxury - it’s rustic and you are close to nature. We saw bats, giant millipedes, stray cats & dogs (all very friendly) plus an array of birds and of course fish in the sea.
Sea is very shallow so safe for inexperienced swimmers and it’s a short walk / swim to adjacent Long Beach for more interest.
Boats can be arranged to take you to tonsai village and back. Likewise early morning scooters if you have an early excursion and you can have an excellent Thai massage out by the sea.
The hotel is let down on the cleanliness side- the beach beanbags are dropping pellets of foam on the sand and there is some rubbish - cigarette ends, straws etc that the customers leave clearly but the staff could clean up.
Otherwise, great hotel - would recommend.

This property is such an interesting place. I have to say the room you get can make or break your experience not just here but on the entire island.

First of all on arrival, it's actually quite well organized. You should have someone with a sign waiting on the pier with the name of the resort on a placard. Then you take a little longtail boat to the resort. The checkin process is quick easy and efficient and they have people who help take your bags to the room. The reason for this is because you'll have a quick jungle trek to your room of choice. We asked for a quiet room and probably got one of the best rooms on the resort since it was really close to love beach and it was a little isolated from the noise of the boats coming and going.

ONE thing that bears mentioning is that at this point you're probably going to wonder where the heck have you arrived and what are you going to do now. But the resort is actually very walkable if you ask staff. You can walk into town and also to long beach so you're not really cut off from the rest of the island. When we first arrived we had a bit of a sinking feeling but then once we realized it was easily walkable then we immediately felt much much better about our choice. IF you have any mobility issues though please think twice.

Finally the rooms themselves were nice and cute and full of character. Not in a negative way but it definitely felt kind of cool and funky in a nice way. The TV worked well and you had the option to watch netf

Great location. While the hotel itself is in a very quiet area, it's a quick 15 minute walk to get into town. We enjoyed having the option to relax on our peaceful beach, or to hit the town and all the great restaurants and bars. The only reason for the 4 star rating is the air conditioning. We completely understand the importance of saving electricity, and like all the hotels we visited in Thailand, it's your room key that gives you electricity, including the air conditioning. Seeing as the rooms are individual huts (very beautiful), there is no central AC like you would have in a big hotel. The result is an unbearable hot sauna every time you get back to the room. We left the windows and patio doors open with the screens closed to try and keep the place somewhat cool, but there is very little wind, and every evening we were melting as we tried to get to sleep. Throughout the night, the air conditioning would eventually cool the place down, but only after several hours. I know this isn't a problem with the hotel, but I think it's important to point out for those who do not endure the heat so well.

Fun little treehouse style resort with private beach. Transportation to and from town is somewhat an issue. They say it is a 25 min easy walk but it is not easy. You need to hire a scooter which is 200 baht per person. The food at the resort restaurant is priced well so not really an issue unless you have a tour or want to go to town. The beach is wonderful and not packed with people. We would definitely return.

Terrible experience

Me and my wife got serious food poisoning after diner in hotel restaurant. Half an hour after meal both of us started vomiting ang got diarrhea. It was so serious that we moved to the hospital where we spent 2,5 days with high fever 39,5 C.!
After just 8 hours after meal we were so exhausted that couldn't stand or feet. So at 4 am I woke up a stuff member in reception, where he was sleeping. Asked him to call a boat to take us to the hospital. He was not happy that I woke him up, very sleepy, said to me that it is impossible (?!). After a few minutes he agreed to call somebody and charged me double price for transfer to WorldMed hospital. Anyway, all transfers by boat to town are not for free, you need to pay in reception what is not ok in my opinion. Other option is a 30 minutes walk across the rain forest with wild monkeys, very dangerous after getting dark.
My wife was in such a terrible state that I had to carry her from a boat to the hospital.
After 2 days straight from hospital still with cannula in my vein I came back to check out from hotel, my wife was still in hospital. I was ask to pay for my last diner even after I said we are in a hospital after that meal. And for 2 bottles of water from room (even with fact that we missed 3 breakfast...).
We made a mess in the toilet when we got sick, after 2 days it was still dirty and not cleaned... Room the same. Dirty tables in restaurant.

Stunning resort with fabulous views, off grid feel

Stunning location with stunning accommodation. Vicking will pick you up from Tonsai pier at your arrival and you will arrive by boat to their resort. What a place and what a fantastic way to arrive to their private beach. Our accommodation was by far the best in our trip. Terrace with a view of the Andaman Sea. We had a special guest appearance (3 monkeys got into our room and helped themselves with sugar and fanta in the fridge: just remember to close the bedroom door as they will find their way to grab food) . In fairness after that, no need to go on Monkey island 😉 Great meals , great staff. Possibility to rent snorkling equipment and kayaks. Access to Long beach (5 min) and town (10 min) and free taxi boat organised throughout the day. Outside the hours, it will only cost you £2.50 to go to town by tail boat. I would highly recommend this resort. No swimming pool , just a fabulous beach to yourself.

Such a beautiful and unique property. We had the Grand deluxe room with air conditioning, and it was so lovely. The view of the water we had was incredible. The only negatives I can think of was the breakfast, and the noise from the long boats. But other than that, I cannot fault it.

It’s like luxury camping! Air conditioned cabins with amazing views, hammock, property has massage services, a restaurant, very nice beach. You can walk to town (bit of a long walk) or taxi boat

Nature resort

Stayed here with my husband and another couple. If you come in knowing it is a NATURE resort and will be seeing bugs/cockroaches and the toilet water will be yellow then your stay will be much better. The hotel and the room was clean. The AC worked beautifully. Will need to get a water boat taxi if you to town. Otherwise it’s a 30 min walk up and down hills. This hotel is for those who want to be in nature and really immerse in the island life but still have the comforts of the 21st century.

Beautiful beach

The beach is beautiful. Comfort however is so so because there’s too many mosquitoes. I also find the room has a musty smell. I stayed in another resort which also is secluded and has a jungle at their premise, which doesn’t have that many mosquitoes and is very clean.

The bungalow was great and clean, in a very relaxing spot. Really liked the breakfast, lots of options and the ones I tried were good. Also, they had a free tasting of Thai food every night and the choices were very good. Amazing beach. The resort has a tour agency if you want to go on some tours.
There was a couple of workers that were really really nice, but most of the staff acted as if it was annoying having to deal with us. They were efficient though!

Our stay was great at vikings, except for the long walk to town I’d give it 5 stars. Suggestion to facility owners: you should reconsider free shuttle/boat to town at specific times. And thanks for the great hospitality

This place is beautiful! Htet (one of the employees) took really good care of us. Some of the villas are up a fairly steep hill so if you have mobility issues that could be a problem. The beach is absolutely amazing! The food is more than reasonabley priced and everything we had was good. The breakfast buffet is limited but it’s also a small resort and again everything we ate was good. Water taxi to town is 100 Baht per person and the ride in isn’t long at all. Walking to town takes quiet a bit of time and if you’re like me and have a couple of drinks it can be a bit much. All in all it was a great experience and I wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Not all it was hyped up to be.

I paid for a/c in my room, it wasn’t a/c. On Phi phi in December that’s horrid. The front desk gal was rude about boat taxis and accommodations. The breakfast is not awesome, and all of the buffet breakfasts on Phi phi are pretty standard and good. If you are looking for comfort, clean and reliable this isn’t the place. More like camping. It’s a beautiful place with unique rooms. Just not what it’s hyped up to be.

Excellent place to stay!

Free hotel transfer from the pier on arrival. the location of the resort is excellent, away from the main crowd in town, with a small beach. it is about 20mins walk into town which is easy, the resort itself was built on a small hill with some steps to climb but you would appreciate the nature, the only problem is mosquitoes! buffet breakfast was good with enough options to choose from but wasn't included in the room rate. I would stay here again if I ever go back to phi phi!

I was looking for an eco of the path kind of resort and this place hits the mark. It’s a hike to town but it’s through a jungle which was a blast. They pick you up and drop you off at the Ferry and hanging in a hammock listening to the waves in the morning is indescribable. Not a place for you if your out of shape. Take an island boat tour

The hotel itself is good, room was good, air-conditioned, large bathroom. Perfect for sleeping in as you are out and about all day.

The unfortunate part was the experience at the hotel. First day the cleaning staff threw all of my clothes in a heap on the floor and just left them there in a pile. I thought nothing of it and thought it would not happen a second time. The following day I left early in the morning (locked the room with the provided padlock) to go scuba diving, and did not get back to my room until after midnight. I come back and the doors to my room are completely open, I immediately go to the hotel check-in desk and ask for the manager, after a few minutes someone shows up who is not the manager and asks that I come back in the morning.

I stay up until 2 AM swatting at cockroaches and mosquitoes. Luckily no items were taken from my room.

I come back in the morning and ask for the manager, they tell me come back at 11 AM, I come back at 11 AM they tell me to come back at 12 PM, the manager isn't there yet. Unfortunately, I have activities already planned and have to head out. I was never able to get a hold of the manager before heading to Koh Yao Noi.

During breakfast they did not provide utensils and staff had to be asked to bring out utensils. The common theme seemed to be that you always had to ask the staff for something. Coffee pot runs out, it would sit there empty until someone asked.

I cannot in good conscience recommend this resort.

Great place. Long boat picked me up at the docking port along with other guest that arrived on the same ferry, and took us to the resort. The place is awesome and the food was great. The town is about a 20 to 25 minute walk which really wasn’t bad. Even at night, you can easily walk and the room is equipped with a flashlight which I didn’t really need since there was a fool moon.

BED BUG INFESTATION! DO NOT STAY HERE!

The title says it all. We booked two traditional rooms with double beds. On the first morning of our stay, my boyfriend and I woke up to several black, tiny bugs crawling on the mattress and found bites all over our bodies. When we squashed the bugs, blood smeared all over the sheets, which confirmed they were bed bugs. We called our friend who confirmed that they too found bed bugs in their room. We immediately notified reception, and they only upgraded one of our rooms while refusing to upgrade the other room or to issue a refund at all. The staff was disrespectful and completely unsympathetic to our situation. We had to throw out our clothes and luggage because they were infested with bed bugs aswe left our suitcases open the night before. I understand that the resort is located in the jungle/forest so critters were to be expected but it is still no excuse for the presence of bed bugs. Needless to say, this experience completely ruined our vacation. Please avoid at all costs!

Beautiful hut by the beach

Love the hut, we got a standard with air con which was much needed. Private beaches and about 20 minutes walk to the town through the forest. Will need to carry a torch with you. (Resort provides the torch.)
All staff were extremely helpful from start to finish.
Free transfers from the pier to the resort which was a bonus.

The place over all is ok. Our room was almost a mile away to the reception area which made it inconvenient to go back and fourth. The hotel was under construction so on our way to our room it was ugly to look at

True nature resort

The resort is very hard to get to. It is truly a nature resort off in the jungle, and by no means a luxury resort. About 25 minute walk to town or 5 minute long tail boat ride. If you are staying here for relaxation this is a great resort, however other than the beach there’s not much to do around the property.

Great Views!

This place is great! Would definitely choose to stay here again. We loved how it was away from the busy main town, but still walk able. It is about a 15-20 min walk into town along the coastal trail or at night the tide goes down and you can walk across the beach. We loved relaxing in the hammocks and the staff was helpful in booking us a tour! I wish there was AC, but loved the eco-friendly vibe. They gave us a big fan, but if you used the mosquito net at night, the fan would not blow onto the bed so it was a bit hot. The bed was very comfy though! Loved this place. They even offered longtail rides to and from town at certain times!

Nice accommodation with great views and good staff

The location - quite far from the centre but that's also a bonus - away from the crowds. There is a shuttle boat from/to harbour. We stayed in standard huts with aircon and a balcony with a hammock. The rooms are nice though some storage space for clothes would be handy, as there is none. Good wifi and aircon. Bathrooms are ok. There is a restaurant with nice breakfast (payable extra 150baht) and available for lunch and dinner. Food was good. Staff are very helpful and polite. The beach outside is very nice and not busy. I would stay there again.
