There were ants everywhere - which is to be expected in a place like this. There was always a staff member present, but there wasn't a lot of information provided. I had to make do mostly on my own - but, this was part of the adventure. It's a good place to stay in a budget. Better than most. Could use with a bedside lamp! That's my only recommendation.

My room had a beautiful view of the river - it was very peaceful.

Had to spend one night in dorm room because room was already booked. Dorm room has zero privacy. Not comfortable at all.

The quiet nature. Double room with balcony on the river was very peaceful.

Such an easy place to live in. Located within walking distance of the Bus station, Chiang Dao Hostel’s private cottage was perfect for our week long stay. Set alongside a stream, we got to enjoy wonderful sunrises, sunsets from our balcony and hang up items to dry. Super useful when you visit the hot springs and streams as much as we did. There are communal areas with hammocks, tables, chairs, hot water, coffee sachets etc. Very friendly staff and a comfortable bed rounded things off nicely. Recommend highly and would certainly stay here again. Note that the bathroom does lead off the balcony and is not the usual en-suite arrangement.

户外的区域需要打扫 还有河流污染需要保护

A Perfect Blend of Nature and Comfort My stay at this accommodation was truly unforgettable. The outdoor areas are well-maintained and clean, making it a pleasure to explore the surroundings. The property is nestled in a serene environment, with a beautiful river flowing nearby. However, I did notice some signs of pollution in the river, which was a bit concerning. It would be wonderful to see more efforts in protecting and preserving this natural treasure, as it adds so much to the charm of the place. The room itself was spacious and immaculately clean, offering a comfortable and relaxing retreat after a day of outdoor activities. The highlight for me was the large balcony, which provided stunning views of the surrounding nature. Waking up to the sound of the flowing(stream) right outside my door was incredibly soothing and added a magical touch to the experience. Overall, this is a fantastic place to stay for anyone looking to connect with nature without sacrificing comfort. With a little more attention to environmental conservation, especially regarding the river, this could easily be a perfect destination. I would highly recommend it to nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful getaway.

Overall it was o.k. Spacious room, beds were comfortable, quiet. Could use better cleaning of the shower/toilet room. There were cobwebs, ants and a feeling that no real attention is payed to really clean it. The outside area of the hostel also felt like someone stopped caring how it looks like. The communal area is pretty much the same as above and the overall feeling is that the hostel a bit neglected.

Kinda lacking privacy. The dogs at the house next door keep barking when people pass through the road so be aware.

Beautiful view of Doi Chiang Dao! A/C not required at it was rather cold at night during my stay.

Nothing.

Simply Wonderful! So peaceful and ideal for relaxing in a quiet and natural setting!

The place is a gem! It’s in a wonderful location not so far from the centre of town and bus stop. The place is so peaceful with a stream and Mountain View. Just laying on the hammock and reading a book was magic. The staff is kind and they help you out with what you need. The room was spacious with wonderful private small terrace. Clean with all needed for a stay. I would definitely recommend this place:)

Nice sitting area by the stream, and we can see the stream flowing by from the window of our room too. Little cottage style and quiet environment. Room is spacious and clean. Staffs are friendly and feeling safe staying here.

Beautiful lush and relaxing setting by a stream

It is better to have a motorbike/car to move around because the city center is a bit far

Very lovely stay at the hostel. The outdoor spaces are really nice with hammock and chairs by the riverside. The mood is very nice there to relax and enjoy the nature in Chiang Dao

One less bed in the dorm, so I had to sleep in a tent (with a matress, pillow, soft blanket and fan outside the door). It was a bit of a shock at first, but in the end kind of an upgrade - solo room ensuite!

The location is beautiful, with huts and hammocks by a river and a view of Doi Chiang Dao. There's a local corner shop close by and it's near the bus stop. The owners don't speak much English but are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.

Plenty of ants in the shower, but didn't bother me much.

Very kind english speaking staff. Good communication even before arrival. Loved the buffet available 24/7.

Maybe due to being close to nature, the balcony becomes infested with ants. Was shocked to see the balcony and the toilet filled with ants crawling all over on the first morning. Couldn't help stepping on them. Had to have them cleaned up every morning.

Nestled among the trees, the place is an idyllic spot for relaxing and listening to nature's sound. The mosquitoes can be a real nuisance, though, so need a repellent. The room was comfortable with a nice, large balcony which comes with a bed and a mattress to relax and watch the stream beneath flowing by. The host was also kind and made time to take me to the cave. The bus station is just a few minutes walk away. So, all in all, it was a comfortable stay.

I stayed here for three nights and I really enjoyed myself here. If you are looking for a quiet peaceful place surrounded by beautiful nature and a breathtaking view on the mountain nearby for a very fair price, look no further: This is the place to stay! Nuk, the receptionist, Kat the owner and her partner all have a very warm heart and are willing to help you with every question you have. There is free water for filling up your bottle and I even was allowed to use the kitchen for myself. Here you just feel welcomed and at home <3

The location is very central, around 7mins walk from the bus station. Easy to find and a lovely garden round.

The place is absolutely peaceful and quiet! I love the garden with the river and the hosts are really kind. The dorm is always clean.

Wonderful place to relax and to meet fellow travellers in a mellow environment. Kat and her sister are absolutely lovely and are extremely helpful. They went above and beyond to answer my questions and assist me while I was staying with them. Epic hostel!

There were quite a few bugs around but that’s expected with the location. The shower head also came off but this appeared to be replaced by the following day.

Lovely hostel nearby the Main Street and bus station of Chiang Dao. The staff are very friendly and can organise a scooter rental for you, which makes it easy to get around to the different sites. The grounds of the hostel are so peaceful with many places to chill out, including the hammocks! The beds are really comfortable and they provide free towels.
