Reviews of Cactus Hostel

The hospitality, kindness and friendliness of the owner is incomparable and they make all the difference. I have been to many places and I can say that I have never felt at home anywhere, only here. The facilities are comfortable and you have everything you need for a pleasant stay, the location is perfect for everything you need to do. I would return a thousand times without hesitation.

Everything was perfect.

the host is very accommodating she even took me to my next destination. .

Pj really makes the place stand out. She’s incredibly kind, giving and friendly. Thank you

Super good traveler vibe. Together talks, meals fun etc. If you want to rest a bit from hectic, Asian cities it would be a perfect match. Also to hear the interesting stories from other travelers. PJ is amazing host. Take care of her guests like I guess no one in Chiang Mai province. There is possibility to make a volunteering. I didn't but it is fully recommendable. Staff was very happy about such opportunity. Remember that it is not a luxury place. Conditions are fine compared to the price. The room has enough space, it is not too warm nor too cold during the night. WiFi works but not perfectly in every area, but it's more about an experience.

I liked everything

I stayed in a cozy dormroom and it truly felt like being part of a cactus-hostel-family. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it such a pleasant experience. To top it off, there was a pizza party at the hostel, which was an absolute highlight for me! I can highly recommend this place to anyone in the area - it’s a wonderful spot to stay and connect with others. I will definitely come back someday!

Such a wonderful vibe here. Everyone was very friendly and it seems like a really interesting project PJ has got going on. I'd love to be back to help out on the farm one day.

What a hostel should be! PJ, Pink, and the cats make it feel like home

Nothing

The lady that has the hostel is very helpful and nice. There's also a nice outdoor area with many adorable cats. We enjoyed our stay!!

PJ was absolutely lovely and accommodating. The hostel had a great vibe with cactus everywhere. It was quiet but very friendly with everyone chatting.

Nothing.

The owner, PJ, is just the nicest, warmest, most helpful person you could meet! She will go to any lengths to make sure you are looked after and her local knowledge of Doi Inthanon and the waterfalls is so so helpful - she even has handmade maps you can use! Really helpful and I had a great time- the village is really nice too with lots of little spots to go to.

Really cool property and the hosts were lovely! They invited us to eat with them and we shared travel stories and tips. A perfect stop for visiting Doi Inthanon or the Mae Hong Son loop. Nestled in the mountains and a beautiful lake nearby to walk around and enjoy sunset

The mattress and pillows were typical rock hard Thai style and my back and neck were not happy with me. But the bunk bed was really nice and sturdy and wooden, not like most creaky metal ones

The lady is very nice and helping.

Don't expect something fancy, that is basically a room in her home.

PJ is a fun and kind person. This place really feels like home. Room is nice and clean. Thanks for everything!

The owner was friendly

We honestly don’t understand why this place has such good reviews. It’s old, very messy and not really clean. The beds don’t have mattresses but just very thin mats, and you get a towel as a blanket. We slept terribly. We booked 2 nights but left after 1 night. We regretted not doing a day tour to Doi Inthanon from Chiang Mai.

Great host and rooms in a location close to the centre and yet quiet. This is a great place to base yourself for Doi Inthanon National Park. It must have been probably one of my best stays along the MHS loop.
