Tucked just off Pai's main walking street, Supermoon Cozy Hostel offers travellers a well-positioned base for exploring one of northern Thailand's most beloved towns. The hostel sits close to restaurants, cafes, and local attractions while remaining on a relatively quiet stretch, striking a balance that suits both social travellers and those looking for a peaceful night's sleep.
Guests consistently highlight the cleanliness of the facilities, particularly the bathrooms, which stand out favourably even by comparison to other hostels. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with lockers, and the communal areas have a welcoming, low-key feel. Hosts have been noted for their attentiveness and hospitality, with small touches such as complimentary snacks, fruit, and instant coffee and tea available in the common area adding a personal warmth to the stay.
As with any hostel, experiences can vary, and prospective guests should read recent reviews to get a current picture before booking. Given the hostel's small size and popular location in Pai, rooms are likely to fill up quickly during peak travel periods, particularly around the cool season from November to February when the town sees its highest visitor numbers. Booking in advance is advisable for those travelling during holidays or long weekends.

La Mom is great! Charlie is an excellent host and did what he could to help us out. There front foyer was always stocked with bananas, passion fruit, little cookies, and instant coffee/tea for consumption at your leisure. The back patio is nice, and gains entry to the neighboring burger place, which was also tasty. Expensive for food in Thailand though but that's to be expected for "Western" food. There is parking in front for scooters. Each room has an attached small patio area with clothes hangers and a small place to sit. The back patio has two hammocks to lounge in, however I couldn't get the wifi back there. I would definitely recommend the hostel. HOWEVER it is right off the main hostel/bar street and can be loud in the evening. To my knowledge all the bars close at midnight in Pai, though, so not a huge deal. Bring your ear plugs if you want to get to sleep earlier though! I stayed here 4 nights.
I’ve stayed in 9-10 hostels as of July 2019 and this is by far the nicest, cleanest I’ve ever been to. This is a small, quaint hostel with great amenities and incredible location in the city center — walking distance to pretty much everything. The A/C in our room was incredible and kept us cool throughout the evening. Cindy, owner of the hostel, was great as well and really nice to hang out with. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
I’ve stayed in countless hostels around the world, and I always try to be respectful and follow the rules. This hostel was clean and the staff seemed friendly at first, but unfortunately my experience ended on an extremely disappointing note. When I checked in, I was clearly told that beds were not assigned and that I was free to choose any available one. After months of staying in upper bunks while traveling (in other hostels), I finally moved to the lower bunk once my roommate left here. I changed all the linens myself, cleaned everything, and made sure the space was tidy and in PERFECT condition. I didn’t cause any damage or inconvenience to anyone. Despite this, the hostel decided to keep my deposit simply because I switched beds. Their only explanation was literally “you moved.” It felt unfair, unprofessional, and honestly quite disappointing. In all my years of hostel travel, I have never been penalized for something like this. At first, I was planning to extend my stay for another week, but after this situation, I felt so upset and disrespected that I decided to move to another hostel. It’s really disappointing that a completely avoidable issue pushed me away. This experience overshadowed every positive aspect of the hostel. Keeping a guest’s deposit for such an unreasonable reason for me is unacceptable and shows a lack of transparency and fairness. I cannot recommend this hostel. If you choose to stay here, be extremely careful, because even if you follow what you’re told at check-in, they might still penalize you without a valid reason.
