Visitor Reviews

This is a very beautiful hotel, thoughtfully designed and built by the owner himself, who is from the Netherlands. You can truly feel how much care and hard work he has put into this land and the garden. The property features a few traditional Thai-style wooden houses alongside more modern buildings, and the blend is done with great taste. What I especially loved were the small details — the bamboo elements, the bamboo mirrors, the lighting, and the beautiful lampshades. Everything feels considered and warm. I also really appreciate the owner’s commitment to sustainability. There are no plastic water bottles; instead, drinking water is provided in quality reusable containers. This was a real highlight for us. We truly regret staying only one night — we could easily have stayed three. That’s why we highly recommend this hotel. The owner also provides free bicycles, which adds even more to the experience. You can really feel that this is a place created with a lot of thoughtful ideas behind it. Breakfast was also very nice, with freshly cooked pancakes, omelettes, and a good variety of choices. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

If you’re looking for a calm, peaceful retreat just a short taxi ride from the main town and temples, this is absolutely the place to stay. My wife and I truly loved our time here. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the care and intention behind this place — from the beautiful grounds, planted and nurtured by the owner himself, to the thoughtful details in every room and around the property. Everything feels personal, considered, and made with love. This is not a hotel, and that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s a home stay in the truest sense, and it goes far beyond what you’d ever expect. The warmth, authenticity, and attention you receive here are rare. Even small touches, like the laundry service, free bikes, which was incredibly helpful, show how much the hosts genuinely care about their guests. This is without question one of the most beautiful home stays we’ve experienced, and we’re deeply grateful to the owners for sharing their home with us. We would return in a heartbeat.

Our stay was wonderful. Attractive, comfortable room with a terrific view. The staff was very friendly and breakfast was delicious. The grounds are peaceful and attractive. The best place to stay when visiting Chiang Rai. Using the free bikes was the ideal way to visit the Baan Dam Museum. All of our places we visited were excellent: Royal Villa and garden Arboretum (nice walk on the moss covered stone paths, and views. No longer maintained garden) Wat Phra That Doi Tung was impressive with the mountain view, near the arboretum, but that road is currently closed, so longer 20 minutes drive around the mountain.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Book Shoulder Season

May–June and September–October offer dramatic discounts (30–50% off peak rates) with fewer crowds. Weather is mixed but rarely a washout — afternoon showers clear quickly.

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.
