Guest Reviews

- Lio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sharon (10/5): Great value for money comfortable home stay for easy access to Chiang Mai city - Great location for the city. Very clean and comfortable for an excellent price. Lek and Yien are lovely hosts. Friendly and hospitable. Took the time to find my lost earring within first day. Nothing
- Arvid (10/5): Best hosts/owners ever - Amazing, almost unbelievably friendly hosts
- Prainito (10/5): Exceptional - We loved Banleek Homestay, the owners are extremely friendly and we ended up extending our stay by 3 day. Would highly recommend!
- Peichen (10/5): 清邁最溫暖熱情的民宿 - 這裡太棒了!老闆跟老闆娘很溫暖熱情,房間很乾淨整潔,非常舒適的環境!下次還會再來!
- Scott (10/5): Super friendly hosts - Mr Lee and his wife were so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay with them. Highly recommended!
- Philippe (8/5): Very good - Calm. Well located. Clean. Friendly. No bedside lamp. Lack of a shelf in the bathroom. Lack of hooks ( bathroom
And room)
- William (8/5): Very good - Very friendly host family were there to welcome me late at night. My phone broke on landing and I'd brought the wrong plug adapter, but I got help and these problems disappeared. Magic.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly host ❤️ - Really friendly and helpful host. The room was lovely and clean and looked as expected. Easy quick check in and a very short walk to the Saturday Night Market. Water was provided in the room. There was also coffee available downstairs and parking on the street. There was a slight smell in the bathroom probably from the pipes outside but not in the bedroom if you shut the bedroom door.
- Mirco (8/5): - Die Unterkunft wird von einem super lieben zuvorkommenden hilfsbereiten Paar geführt. Zudem ist sie nicht all zu groß, sodass alles sehr familiär ist. Man hat das Gefühl in einem schönen klassischen Hotel zu sein. Wer Luxus sucht, ist hier falsch.
Wir waren mit allem zufrieden außer einer Sache, in der Toilette hat es leider manchmal nach Abfluss gerochen. Dies kann aber auch nur an diesem Zimmer liegen.
- ANNE (8/5): Quiet retreat - For the price who could ask for more? Lovely friendly helpful hosts, pleasant retreat from the noisy city. Beautiful garden area to enjoy morning coffee and just a few min walk to the old city. If you stay, just a 100 metres up the road is the best mango smoothie at a great price.
- Pratik (10/5): - Property is good and worth the money is spent. It’s not a hotel so dont expect any luxury. The room sizes are small and may not suit if you have lot of luggage or a kid .
- Panagiota (8/5): Very good -
- Zuzana (10/5): Perfect stay in Chiang Mai - The place is really nice and chilled, so you are looking to coming back after a nice day in the city or in the mountains. The owners are super nice people and we felt really comfortable there. Also, the location is very convenient. It was all perfect. Maybe more space for things in the bathroom, but overall nothing major.
- Christian (10/5): - This was a really pleasant stay , hosts were great from the moment I walked in .
- Casey (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect, homey, cute with the best owners who made the experience and my stay here a 12/10 experience no complaints it was amazing
- Timo (10/5): Everything was perfect. - We had an amazing stay. Everything was clean, the hosts were so friendly.
If we come back to Chiang Mai, we will definitely visit them again!
- Natasha (10/5): - The Baanlek Homestay was the perfect place for our short stay in Chiang Mai.
Lek was a lovely, kind host and the property is attractive and well kept.
Although we were visiting during the bustling Loy Krathong festival, the immediate area was quiet even then.
- Gerard (10/5): Exceptional - Very lovely and friendly place to be. The owner family was amazing.
- Varun (10/5): Warm and welcoming and will definitely stay there again! Highly recommended! - The hosts were warm and welcoming and made us feel at home. Mr Leck went out of his way to show a great place to eat Pad Thai. We loved their home and the location of the homestay in close to all major points in Chiang Mai.
- Derhy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Arjan (7/5): Nice place, lovely owners, bed needs to be more comfortable - Super nice owners, good location in quiet neighborhood Sorry but the beds, I can feel the springs and that is a big flag for me. the building has nice history and looks charming but the downside is that the private room was a bit outdated and dark. Bathroom has no room to place your stuff
- James (9/5): Would stay again - I really enjoyed my time here. I was welcomed like family and always eagerly greeted whenever I saw the owners. The room was clean and spacious, there was nothing more I needed. Would stay here again. Location was good and fast into the centre, especially by grab.
- Erick (10/5): - Very nice people
- Nina (7/5): Good - It was written that they have Landry but I got laugh at when asking about it.
- Stuart (9/5): Superb - We had a wonderful stay from start to finish. Jen and Lek, the hosts, were extremely friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to store our bags when we arrived early, and then check in 2 hours early. The room was cosy and comfortable and kept very clean. Bathroom was nice with great shower pressure. The Homestay itself was beautiful with a fish pond at the front, and a lovely cat who was always lounging about the place. The location was great, less than 10 minutes walk to the edge of the old town and to the Wua Lai Walking Street. Tons of options for food, drink and attractions. Highly recommended! The usual hard beds! But this seems to be a normal thing in Thailand. Don't let this put you off staying.
- Douglas (10/5): - Lek and his wife were lovely hosts and the room was fresh and clean, with my bed being made for me each day. Lek is a really nice guy too, and plays the guitar well.
The guest house is an old Thai teak building about 5 mins walk from Chiang Mai gate with easy access to the evening food market there.
Being outside the old city, it's quieter than it is inside, but one's also near enough to reach it without any issue.
Also, for me, I liked being near the Old Medicine Hospital (for great Thai massages).
In the mornings there's free instant coffee and tea.
Their cat, Cocoa, was also friendly.
- Alexander (8/5): Very good -
- Donald (9/5): Superb - Super nice family ,host. Very charming place. Maybe not really updated but very nice. Really comfortable. I really liked the fish also. The place is charming but a bit out dated. Other than that it was a great place to stay,and a good value for the price.
- Gernot (10/5): Good choice - indoor - Windows go to the court. No windows to outside. Quite!
- Remy (9/5): Just 4 minutes walk from the city center an absolute must stay wit this lovely family. - Location is absolutely perfect, just outside the city center and all quit. Mr Lek and his wife are such lovely people. it’s personal and very Asian, but the beds could be a little softer.
- Myint (7/5): Good - pleasant and fair price for a room just to sleep
- Jose (10/5): I Love that peaceful place. - Great hosts. Good wifi. Clean, nice and quiet place.
- Akanksha (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice hospitality and great hosts.
- 510152025 (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were so kind and friendly
Great location
Very clean facilities
A lovely place to stay
- Jib (8/5): Very good -
- Alexandra (7/5): Good - Staff are kind. Toilet had bad smell.
- Rumming (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rohit (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone that is travelling through Chiang Mai. Lek and his partner go out of their way to make you feel welcome and I have never seen such attention to guests' needs before. Every morning a different breakfast is prepared for you depending on your tastes, either Thai or western dishes. I can highly recommend the Thai dishes.
The accommodation itself is very tidy and a great example of a traditional Thai house. This in itself was part of the reason I wanted to stay, just to have the experience. The airconditioning is effective and you have everything you need. I can imagine some people may be underwhelmed if they are used to 5 star accommodation so I don’t want to give the impression that it is. The linen is lovely and toiletries replaced daily.
The courtyard where breakfast is served is a relaxing haven in a well packed and busy city.
I can't recommend this accommodation highly enough. The management and the truly personal service they provide is the best I’ve seen.
I will return here whenever I am in Chiang Mai again. It has been the best hotel experience of my life, without doubt.
- Peter (10/5): - Everyone who works here is super nice. They helped me out on my last day after already checking out when I got caught in a down pour on a hike and was too wet/disgusting to go straight to the airport.
- G (6/5): Basic facilities, but friendly staff - The room is basic and it got cold at night. But if was fairly clean, they provided free bottled water in the fridge, and the wi-fi works well. What this place lacks in capital, they make up for in hospitality. The husband and wife owners are very nice and would chase me down and insist on serving me (free) breakfast. They also did my laundry (didn't charge me) and gave me a free ride to the airport.
- Ume (10/5): nice couple who manages the place - I was welcomed by a couple who runs the place. They helped carrying the heavy suitcase upstairs. The room was already cool and nice when I arrived at night.
- sophie (10/5): Lovely! - Lovely guesthouse, quiet and in 10 min walk in the center. Lek & his wife are incredibly nice and helpful - i would definately come again !!
- Libby (10/5): Precious owners - Easily the best place I’ve ever stayed. The owners were both helpful and incredibly sweet. The room was very clean and a perfect size. It’s in a great location; a block from a food market, convenience mart and the square of old Chiangmai. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in this city. The best hospitality experience I’ve had.
- Nathan (10/5): our favorite place in thailand - My wife and I stayed here in early June and we absolutely loved this place!
This is a homestay with about 12 rooms. The family that runs this makes this a 5 star place in my book! Upon arrival they treated us like thier own family. They gave us tips on where to go for certain activities including night markets, laundry, bars, and massages. When we would return after a long day the husband would often greet us with a beer and we would talk about our day.
They offer free transport to and from the airport which is very close. They also offer breakfast every morning which is amazing! They change the breakfast every day for you and will ask you what time you would like to eat in the morning.
The rooms are what you would expect for a homestay but, are very clean and tidy. This area seems very safe and my wife and I never worried about walking home late. In fact the location is very nice as you are only about a 5 minute walk from the old city.
This is by far my favorite place I've stayed in Thailand. I've never received the friendship and kindness that these people offer to thier guests anywhere else. When I return to Thailand my wife and I will be staying here again.
- Dave (10/5): "Home Stay" it is! - Probably the nicest hotel stay we have ever had! Owner family on premises, and available to assist you without being too pushy. You had your privacy, but they were always available to provide information and help when needed. Very welcoming.
- Verified traveler (6/5): 中規中矩 - 環境方面 :
民宿建築是木建的,分別有兩層高。當住在下層有機會受上層的腳步聲,而覺得煩擾,但整體都算可以接受。
房間設施 :
如不喜歡彈弓床的人士,相信該民宿不太合識。
房間衛生 :
本人入住都明白泰國昆蟲比較多,但最不能接受目擊有兩隻曱甴同住。
民宿職員 :
每個職員都能帶有無限的笑容,令你的旅程帶來一點樂趣。還有職員是非常樂意教你如何去旅遊境點。同時每當晚上職員會好努力在戶外滅蚊子,令減少旅客開門時蚊子飛進房內。
最後,在我入住時已向職員表示要坐早上6點鐘飛機,但職員好細心一早給我免費安排雙條車送我到機場,這一點不是很多民宿做得到,值得一讚!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastisch! - Super leuke lievevaarduge mensen! Heerlijke homestay in Chiang mai!
- Mark (10/5): Geweldig - Geweldig verblijf gehad bij Baanlek, super leuke en enthousiaste eigenaren! Prima kamer en ontbijt. WiFi werkt zoals thuis. Shuttle service en maar paar minuutjes lopen naar het centrum. Met meest geweldige Streetfood plein die we in Thailand gezien hebben! Kortom aanrader als homestay!
- José (10/5): What an experience! - My time in Chiang Mai was amazing and my stay at Baanlek was very good. Even it does not look like a fancy place, the owners make the guest feel better than at home. I recommend!
- UDOM (10/5): ที่พักใกล้ถนนคนเดิน วัวลาย - สุภาพ อัธยาศัยดี ห้องพักสะอาดดี จัดบรรยากาศโดยรอบได้ดี ที่พักใกล้กับถนนคนเดินวัวลายวันเสาร์ ซึ่งสามารถเดินไปได้
- Natalie (10/5): Great hotel with amazing staff - Our stay was wonderful. The owners attentiveness made us feel like st home. Cute little hotel with good location. Highly recommend this place
- David (10/5): - Mr Lek is awesome. He makes your stay! Come back early so you can hang out with him at night!
- Hsuan hsuan (8/5): - 房間設備簡易乾淨,隔音效果略遜,2樓有泰式開放小露臺。老闆夫婦很客氣也很熱心!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing couple who made our stay in chaing Mai aw! - The couple that owns the home stay made our trip so enjoyable. The location is on a quiet street but it is walking distance to shops and restaurants. The wife made the best breakfast every morning! They were nice enough to give us information about what to do in the area and take us to the airport. I will recommend them to our friends
- jian (10/5): - 老板及服务人员的服务态度都很好,免费的早餐虽然简单但是很可口。还提供免费的机场送机服务。
- Yvette (8/5): 老闆夫妻很親切、房間乾淨舒適 - 民宿距離清邁門10分鐘左右路程,離美食街很近,房間很乾淨。我們住宿兩天,也幫我們整理乾淨,熱水需要到1樓裝,進入房間需要脫鞋,可能會有一些飛蟲蚊子。民宿老闆跟老闆娘人很好,會一點中文,有任何問題都會協助幫忙,尤其我們這次0650的飛機,老板二話不說就在當日0530時載我們去機場,真的超級感謝的。
- Poppy (10/5): Fantastic, 5 star, can't wait to return! - We are thrilled with our stay at Baanlek, having stayed at 3 hotels prior to Baanlek all of which were disappointing, it was amazing to have such a warm and great reception. Mr Lek and Boon came to collect us from the airport with their free collection service, they were incredibly friendly and made us feel like VIP's from the beginning. Check in was nice and easy (even though we arrived early) Boon gave us a map and talked us through all the useful local knowledge and sight seeing places. Mr Lek's wife Jen was fantastic and very accommodating with our vegan/vege needs, she cooked us some fantastic breakfasts and worked around what ever time we requested to eat. The room was clean, comfortable, everything you need and the location is a 10 min walk to the gate, so very close but not in the noise, perfect balance. Mr Lek went out of his way to please us and we felt so looked after and safe, we stayed up one night listening to him play guitar, some very special memories. One day our bank card was swallowed at an ATM, Mr Lek was fantastic at helping us sort it and giving us a phone etc.
Thank you to all the fantastic team at Baanlek, we can not wait to return in the future.
- HONG (10/5): - 酒店老板太热情了,环境也很干净,很有家的感觉,很舒适
- YAN (10/5): 20150618 - 酒店夫妇是一对很好的人,房间每天打扫很整洁,当然设施和国内没法比,泰国就这样,但是这个价格有这种条件已经很不错了,下次还会去
- adam2314 (10/5): If you want 5 star accommodation.. With Move on.. - Lek I found to be a little over powering in his greeting.. But very genuine..
Read that there may be a bug problem.. Due to visitors returning from the elephant experiences..
Hahahaa.. Absolute rot..
Bed was CLEAN and immaculately made.
I had not made a booking for our return from the Journey to Freedom experience.. ( Well worth doing ).
Due to my misgivings ..
Ha !.. Booked for our return as soon as I had checked the place out..
Baanlek has atmosphere.. :-)))))
The price is right.. ( poor Kiwi )..
My first call if and when ever I return.. .
- Julia (10/5): Warmherzige Betreuung in gemütlichem Hotel - Eine wunderschöne kleine Oase, das Baanlek Home Stay. In Fußnähe zur Altstadt und zum Saturday Market gelegen, haben wir uns bei unseren Gastgebern Lek und Yen unglaublich wohl gefühlt! Das Paar hat bei unserer Ankunft uns mit einer Karte alle Sehenswürdigkeiten erklärt, hatten immer Tipps und halfen, wo sie konnten. Außerdem gab es die Möglichkeit, anstelle von europäischen auch ein Thai Frühstück zu bekommen. Dazu gab es einen leckeren Obstteller bei beiden Varianten. Das Thai Frühstück ist sehr empfehlenswert!
Das Zimmer war zwar nicht groß, aber sauber und mit A/C, Kühlschrank und Fernseher ausgestattet.
In unseren Augen eine hervorragende und vor allem sehr liebevolle Bleibe, um Chiang Mai zu erkunden!
- Andy (10/5): Wonderful place to stay in Chiang Mai! - We stayed in a comfortable room with a double bed, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Baanlek Home Stay is in a great location close to the south old city wall, the Saturday market, and a number of good food stands and cafés. Lek and his wife are wonderful, gracious people, and they make you feel very much at home. The Thai breakfasts are DELICIOUS, but make sure you ask for the Thai breakfast.
- Baoying (10/5): baanlek, good. - 容易找,环境好,舒适,早餐不错,走时老板还送到机场,下次去清迈还住这家。
- WEIAN (8/5): 免費接機,十分鐘到老城區 - 酒店老闆人非常好,免費接送到機場。
走路十分鐘即可到老城區。
房間乾淨,但隔音不佳,會聽到馬路車聲和其他人房外講話聲音
- Zhang (10/5): 温暖 - 主人的热情会感染自己哦!
- Verified traveler (10/5): 民宿主人超好! - 民宿主人非常友好,虽然房间是小了一点,但是有这么好的主人非常值得推荐入住~!!!
- Jun (10/5): 4.5分 - 老板和老板娘非常的热情,房间就是通风不是太好,感觉有点昏暗,临近路边,总体不错,我checkout那天老板亲自免费送我们去机场,还给了小礼物,很贴心。
- Jeanette (8/5): Pleasant memories - Our hosts, Yen and Mr. Lek, received us with big smiles and we felt an instant welcome. They were always willing to help us in every way. They very positively represented the Thai people. The room was small but very clean. After a full day in Chaing Maie, we enjoyed our evening beer with Mr. Lek in the courtyard and his soft voice singing to us as he strummed on his guitar. We take away very pleasant memories of our time at Baanlek.
The only complaint would be that there is very little place to put your clothes and a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries would be very helpful.
- Shiwei Wang (10/5): 尽管条件不是最好的,不过服务绝对是最好的! - 一行五人在清迈住的homestay,离清迈门不远,不过清迈门附近有好多小巷子,第一次走迷路了,后来就认识了。很安静的小住处,条件一般,房间不大,不过够住了。值得一提的是店主夫妇实在是非常热心,每天不重样儿地给我们做早饭,尽力地给我们各种各样的帮助,连我的小弟弟都说下次再来还要住在这里~哈哈~Please don't forget our little Defu ^ ^Thanks for your great help!
