What a hidden gem.
Booked this last minute.
Pleasantly surprised as there were mixed reviews.
I suspect people looking for all the creature comforts from home.
I was given my own bungalow.
Big room and huge bathroom.
AC worked great, I had not water anytime I needed it.
Has a rustic/bohemian vibe which I loved.
Tucked away so it’s quiet but also super close to the market and restaurants.
Breakfast in the more had multiple options.
By far my favourite stop on my 21 day trip around Asia.
Highly recommend this place.
Very basic rooms. Misrepresented on Google maps and in hotel booking sites.
Certainly not 3*, possibly not even 1*
Would possibly have been reasonable value at 1/3 the price.
No safe in room. No mention at reception. When I asked, I was told he would put things in his room but there is no safe!
Little space to hang things. Only one hanger.
Pillows are as hard as bricks.
Shower is weak and luke warm. Sink tap drips constantly and sink leaks.
Noisy fairground over the other side of the river, so loud that the room and fixtures actually vibrate.. yet the hotel failed to inform us about this when we made the booking!
Can hear and smell everything from outside as zero insulation.
Breakfast stated to start a 7, only tea coffee and juice available.
Breakfast day 2 was off the menu and reasonable.
Breakfast day 3 was chaos. No cups, no eggs, no fruit, no staff.
The whole place is mismanaged and in need of maintenance and repair
Quiet and away from Pai's bustle but near enough for forays into Walking Street area and/or other.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property has had its troubles. Much to be expected because of shutdowns. Overall it was a good experience, close to city centre and walking street. The staff very accommodating, helpful and friendly.
The ride to bus station saved us money as well.
Visited with friends. Location was great. Room was decent. Breakfast was underwhelming.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Slightly rundown and unloved feel about this Baan. Disappointing as it has great location on the river. Much of the wooden slats are missing so walking was precarious especially when wet. Our room was not cleaned once and there were gecko droppings all over the bathroom. Staff seemed to be unconcerned and not very engaging. We avoided the breakfast too as it was very cold and basic.
Great room, was very clean and the staff were great. Everything is nearby and within walking distance..it had an inroom frisge to keep water and drinks cold.
They did have a TV but I never used it.
This hotel is located by the river and the gardens are lovely. We had a end room with a porch and a river view. The room was comfortable. The hotel is showing some wear but it's rustic and charming and a good value. Breakfast was very good. The staff is very accommodating even though their English is limited. It is the perfect place to relax.

Close to everything
Finding the hotel can cause an accident. The main street is full of bikes going to fast and cars not looking. In the 2 days we stayed we saw 3 small bike acccidents. Once there, the staff was great, room a bit small. The bed was so close to the wall I had to curl my toes to squeeze between the wall and the bed frame. Room was clean. Security of the room consisted of a small pad lock. But for the things we really needed it was fine. Matress was comfortable, shower was hot and the grouds were beautiful. The garden was great. Many trees of different orgins. Once in the resort it was very quiet. We could hear the nothing but nature. The sounds of loud bikes was so faint. It was very nice. In the morning the breakfast was ok. Rice soups, Eggs, fried rice, hotdogs, noodles all warm. Cold ham, toast, oakmeal, coffee and juice. Not much but filling.
This might be the worst place I've ever stayed in not because any one thing is so bad but because of all the factors put together made for one of the worst stays I've ever paid for. My friends and I spent a long weekend here and booked 2 nights, the staff was nice enough to upgrade my 4 friends to bungalows since their hotel rooms didn't have the bed setups that worked for them. Even though it was the beginning of rain season kudos for that. From what I saw and was told their bungalows were fine, sturdy and clean. Our bungalow however had a creaky floor with inexplicably a toilet underneath that also had a light on that you could see through the floor since there were gaps in some places. To make matters worse people could be heard underneath/beside this staff area talking until 1 am the both nights even though we complained after the 1st night as it was very audible in our bungalow. These people also smoked and the smell seeped up through our gapped floor. The bathroom was not very well sealed as a stream of ants made their way through it when it rained and also rat droppings could be found on the sill around the shower. On the 2nd night we heard rats fighting in the walls before we went to sleep and a rat in the wall above our heads trying to open some food package for about an hour in the early morning that kept me awake for the rest of that night. Top everything off with poor A/C and food and you're looking at a very disappointing stay for the bungalow price
Good walking distance to everything needed. Peaceful and quiet

Disliked: Room comfort
Uncomfortable beds and barely warm showers.
The position of this hotel is great. Close to all the shopping/eating/drinking. And the grounds are lovely. However the rooms are dark and cold and the beds are incredibly hard. The shower was also barely warm.
Super nice and friendly staff, especially the hotel owner! Perfect location in pai that is a quick walk to the main strip with all the bars/ restaurants. Breakfast was included and had a buffet along with a la cart items the staff made to order. Room was super clean, big, and overall nice. Would definitely recommend!
this hotel was awesome! we stayed for 2 nights in May and had 2 bungalows and 1 room for 7 of us. its located 2 minutes away from the "walking street" in Pai and right around the corner from the rasta bar and many other bars/restaurants. the main pai river goes through the property, and there is a great view of the sunset. there is also a scooter/motorcycle rental place across the street if you are looking to explore the town. the property was well maintained and rooms were kept clean. nothing but good things to say about this hotel
