About Baan Boo Loo
Tucked into the historic heart of Chiang Mai's Si Phum neighborhood, Baan Boo Loo is a traditional Thai family home that has been lovingly converted into a boutique guesthouse by the same family who has called it home for generations. The property features Thai-style decor, rooms with verandas, hot tubs, and open-air bathrooms, all arranged around a courtyard that visitors consistently describe as a striking, peaceful retreat from the city beyond the gate.
What sets Baan Boo Loo apart is the genuine hospitality of the host family, led by Aunya, her brother Ton, and their staff. Guests are welcomed with a personal warmth that feels more like staying with family than checking into a hotel. Breakfast is home-cooked and changes daily, adding a distinctive local touch that larger properties rarely offer. The combination of intimate scale, authentic atmosphere, and attentive service makes it particularly well-suited to couples and travelers seeking a meaningful connection to Chiang Mai rather than a standard hotel experience.
The property is open daily from 07:00 to 22:00, so guests should plan arrivals accordingly and contact the team in advance if a late check-in is anticipated. Given the small and intimate nature of the guesthouse, rooms are likely to fill quickly, especially during Chiang Mai's peak travel season between November and February. Early booking is strongly advisable.

I couldn't leave my stay at the Baan Boo Loo without saying how amazing the hotel is and even more amazing, the family who runs the property! Aunya, her brothers, and the staff are warm, kind, and generous people who treated us like family and made our stay incredibly memorable. Aunya was so attentive and was always on hand to answer questions, give recommendations, and book transport and spas! Photos aren't enough to show the unique beauty, care, and love that went into designing the traditional Thai style rooms and the intricate decor. My husband wasn't sure when we initially booked because he thought the outdoor style would mean the spaces would be hot and full of bugs, but he quickly changed his mind once we got there. The rooms are very comfortable and the whole property feels like a hidden oasis. We both agree Baan Boo Loo was the highlight of our trip. We stayed in the master owner penthouse suite which has an ensuite bedroom on the ground-floor and a staircase leading up to another ensuite bedroom. One of our favourite parts was the direct access to the dining/kitchen area via our own private door. It was the most relaxing feeling to come out of the private entrance in our pajamas to eat the best breakfasts of our entire stay in Thailand. Every morning, there was a stunning spread of traditional Thai home-cooked dishes, fresh fruits, and western options. The menu changes everyday, and we were genuinely so excited to see what was for breakfast every morning. I mentioned the delicious jam to Aunya, and she gifted me a bottle of it on our last day 😭❤️. My only complaint...we didn't stay long enough! Thank you for taking such good care of us and making our stay so memorable. We will be sure to visit again one day! With love, Diana and Joel x
Baan Boo Loo is exquisite. It will take your breath away as you step across the threshold into courtyard - a slice of paradise in old Chiang Mai. Aunya and her brother Ton along with all the staff at Baan Boo Loo have made our stay here perfect and unforgettable. We had heard it was a unique place to stay but it is beyond our expectations. Auyna and Ton extended us a very warm welcome, they have been generous with their time and very informative about the city and its surroundings. The breakfasts are not simple breakfasts but some of the best food we have ever eaten, that is no exaggeration. We are foodies and food prepared freshly each day are a pleasure to eat. Ton will take you through the menu each morning and will answer questions about the herbs and spices used. The buildings and rooms are works of art in themselves, a mix of old style Thai architecture with carefully curated furniture and oh so comfy beds! We had an entire villa for a family of four. Air conditioning keeps the rooms cool and mosquito coils outside kept the bugs at bay, they were never a problem for us. If we could stay here longer than our 4 nights we would. We will definitely return.
A truly amazing stay! The host family is so friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure you have the most comfortable stay. The breakfast menu changes daily and is home cooked and delicious! Chiang Mai has been a wonderful experience with Baan Boo Loo as the centerpiece! I cannot be emphatic in my recommendation!

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts
Compare OTAs and Direct Rates
Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.
Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
Location Matters More Than Stars
A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
