"My best hostel experience throughout my 6 months in Southeast Asia"

10.0

I had an amazing stay at Backpack Hostel, Chiang Rai. From the moment I arrived I felt like a member of the Backpack family. Apple and Som (please excuse my spelling) were friendly and helpful throughout my stay and I will miss them dearly! Perfect location, just 2 minute walk from the bus station and night market. The dorm was clean with comfortable beds, curtains, duvets and good AC. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly and provided toilet roll, soap and shampoo. Good water pressure in the showers too. Free tea and coffee available to guests, which was always welcomed after a day exploring. If I find myself in Chiang Rai again, I will be back without hesitation.

It’s in a great location in the downtown, right around the corner from the bus station and the night market. The owner was lovely and the spaces are nice and clean. The free tea/coffee/snack bar is such a lovely touch!

"Good location, lovely staff"

9.0

I had traveller burnout so kept extending! Loved being able to binge watch Amazon Prime every night! Close to weekend street market, 7/11 round the corner, kitchen available for use. Walking distance to all of old city. Kind, helpful staff. The Burmese guy (sorry can't remember your name!) is the absolute sweetest and keeps the entire place spotlessly clean! He seems to clean the bathrooms thoroughly several times a day. Dorm is relatively small and there's not much space for bags but everybody put them against the wall and no issues. I used a locker outside the bathroom which was actually better as your things were closer to where you needed them! HOT shower with good pressure

Please replace the dripping soap dispenser on the third floor - there's so much waste every day and it's such an easy fix!

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at so far. Got stuck in Chiang Rai waiting on my Laos visa. This place made it bearable. Lady who runs the place is an absolute delight. Has great local knowledge too!

"Friendly, good location, places to socialise with others in the hostel but also to chill by yourself if that is what you"

10.0

The staff here were amazing, very friendly and always said hello to me when I came downstairs in the morning or walked in the door throughout the day. Wished me well on my future travels as I was leaving as well. I would definitely go back here if I’m ever in Chiang Rai again.

"Friendly staff, great location"

9.0

The hostel had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere from the moment I checked in. The staff are exceptional - always willing to help and they make a point of remembering your name to greet you every time they see you, which I hadn’t experienced in any hostel previously. Perfect location too - I’d happily stay again.
