The hotel is nestled deep in the forest, providing a unique, tranquil escape surrounded by nature. The setting is enchanting, allowing for a magical experience with wildlife, but the overall facility needs significant improvements. The lack of basic cleanliness and attention to detail left us disappointed, and the dining options did not meet expectations for quality or variety.

My stay at Trogon House was an enchanting experience. The location, nestled in the forest, provided stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were beautifully designed, but it would have been nice to have air conditioning to combat the humidity. The service was generally friendly, though there were moments when staff could have been more attentive, especially during breakfast. Overall, I felt it was a good value for money, especially with the wonderful spa treatments available.
