Guest Reviews

• Federico (10/5): -
• Guillermo (10/5): Un lugar de paz - Una micro habitación para mi solo, eso se aprecia en un viaje, la piscina refresca un poco la estadía. La habitación no tiene AC lo que hace complicado con los calores, pero el ventilador funciona al 100.
• Attwell (10/5): Great stay worth the money - Big rooms, good bathrooms and nice pool, location was close to everything we needed
• Sullivan (9/5): -
• A.B. (5/5): Very noisy as no sound proofing - Nice clean swimming pool. There is no soundproofing, you can hear all noise from other guests and rooms. There are tables outside the rooms where people sit talking and you can hear every word. You can hear people snoring next door. There are no quite hours so disturbance goes on till late. There were supposed to be free biscuits at breakfast, there wasn't and when I asked they just said no. Location is far from centre Not enjoyable, can't recommend
• Helen (10/5): - Le personnel sympathique, la propreté des lieux, le quartier au calme tout en étant en ville
• Helen (10/5): - La gentillesse et le professionnalisme du personnel, les belles chambres, le bon entretien général, la belle piscine
• Gerrit (8/5): - Zeer slecht bereikbaar. Veel kamers maar weinig verhuurd.
• Y (5/5): -
• Daisy (9/5): - Amazing pool beautiful location Our room had lots of ants in the bathroom near the doorway. Guest house vip 2 I think. But other than that it was good
• Fleur (10/5): - Établissement très propre au calme .
• Sem (8/5): Has all the basic amenities and the bed was very cozy! Location is nice not too far from things. - Our first room we had we had issues with our sink not draining, upon letting the front desk know they were so helpful to attempt to fix it fast and ended up moving rooms since it was taking a while, lovely people! The room has everything you need and the bed is comfortable. it was very quiet so it was a nice relaxing location, the pool area is also very nice and clean! I would recommend staying here to anyone as the location is nice and has everything you need + the lovely staff.
• Cédric (10/5): - Parfait
• Erin (9/5): - Wish we had had more time here. Really quiet (in the best way) but walkable distance to restaurants and bars. The pool was really well maintained and we enjoyed cooling off by it- you're allowed to bring beers in to enjoy by it. Very chilled, so if you're looking for a place to recharge before further travel or if that's just your vibe this place is great No fridge, so water wasn't cold but it wasn't really a problem
• Stuart (8/5): -
• Bernard (10/5): - Le gentillesse des hôtes L'hôtel est très calme La piscine Mon commentaire n'est pas négatif, c'est juste quelques remarques : Le petit déjeuner sommaire mais çela ne nous a pas gêné. Attention : certaines chambres ont des toilettes et une salle de bain en commun. Nous avons rajouté quelques baths pour avoir nos chambres avec tout inclus. Cela c'est bien passé car la dame est charmante.

• sergio (8/5): -
• Eliott (7/5): -
• Benoit (10/5): - Accueil Piscine Propreté Multiples salons d'extérieur Pas de pièce pour garder les valises, elles sont gardées dans le hall d'accueil
• Nicole (8/5): Prettige plek met alles wat je nodig hebt in de buurt - Airco, ruime buitenplaats, zwembad, ligging. Als je richting de clock tower loopt, kom je leuke eettentjes tegen. Het 2-persoonsbed heeft een hard matras. Als je beweegt, veert het hele matras mee. Liever 2 1-persoonsbedden. Die kunnen ze ook bieden. Het ontbijt kun je overslaan, prijzig voor wat je krijgt en in de stad zelf is veel te vinden.
• Arnaud (8/5): -
• Michaela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hilary (9/5): Quiet and comfy - The guesthouse itself was lovely, with a nice pool and good landscaping around. The room was comfortable and not too cramped. It was a bit of a walk from the centre of town, but not too far for us. Maybe 15 minutes at our pace.
• Ashleigh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gepert (9/5): Superb -
• Rosaura (8/5): Lovely hosts and hotel! Great for a mini break in Chiang Rai. - Secluded little hotel with a lovely pool. Wasn’t busy at all so was nice to have the place to myself. No refrigerator in the rooms so the water was boiling hot. Shared bathrooms aren’t ideal but it was bearable.
• 1world2see (7/5): Nice place - Nice pool and location small room
• Joe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - We loved staying in Ben guest house, so much that we extended our stay. The staff was very friendly. The swimming pool area is welcoming and great to relax. You can have breakfast in the morning, which is simple but nice and well priced. It is a little bit far from the center, that in a way, we liked that. You can walk in 20/25 minutes. But easy to get a grab taxi.
• James (7/5): Good -
• Thom (6/5): Friendly staff and nice swimming pool, but the room was not clean! -
• Emma (8/5): Comfortable and clean - Had a great pool and could rent a scooter directly from the hotel . Rooms were comfortable and great wifi everywhere . The mattress of the twin bed in our room was not good compared to the double bed . Not many power plugs available or conveniently placed in the room.
• Julie (8/5): Very good -
• Basia (7/5): Good - Pool was lovely. Room was small but had a little table and 2 chairs out front which was really nice. 2 bottles of water were in glass bottles and tasted superb. A 5/10 minute walk to find restaurants and a corner store. Good selection of food to eat. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. A good half hour to get to markets and town area.
• Maxime (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kenneth (9/5): Nice place to spend a few relaxing days. - For those of us who don’t mind walking, the guesthouse is about a 20 minute walk from the bus terminal and center of town. The grounds of the guesthouse are lush and well maintained. They even have a nice swimming pool. The woman at the reception desk was professional and friendly and always available to help with any concerns. The drinking water in the rooms was in glass bottles which you seldom see. Our stay was peaceful and comfortable. The listing said there was a refrigerator in the room but that is not the case.
• David (8/5): Great value Great location - We really appreciated this budget hotel. Liked the quiet, tucked away yet central, location - we comfortably walked to all three different night markets in Chiang Rai from this base (admittedly, pleasantly cool temps during our visit) The architecture and landscaping of the grounds is really charming - the pool area is lovely and it's a decent size. Seating area outside rooms is also convivial. Receptionists friendly and helpful. The room itself is very clean and a fine size. Bed and bedding was comfortable. Overhead fan in addition to air-con was lovely. Yes I'd return here. Room is inexplicably under-furnished? No bedside table? No lamps at all? No wardrobe or indeed anywhere at to store baggage? For info no fridge.

• Mallika (10/5): Exceptional -
• Seno (5/5): Passable -
• Josee (8/5): Nice stay in Chiang Rai but bit of a distance from the action. - The rooms in the new renovated section of the hotel are very nice. All new and modern. Beds were very comfortable. Pool was very nice as well. The location is bit far from town. Takes about 20 min to walk to areas that have restaurants. Grab is readily available however if you don’t want to walk. Also they do not provide a safe or any way to lock your valuables. Would be nice to provide this in the rooms.
• Sara (8/5): Lovely place to stay for chilling. - The staff was lovely, the swimming pool was perfect, the rooms were spacious and the shared bathrooms were nice and close to the rooms. The mattress ( at least in our bedroom ) were uncomfortable.
• Katherine (9/5): Superb -
• Ann-kathrin (8/5): Very good - Nice, comfortable room, nice atmosphere, good Service (coffee, scooter, fresh towels), very clean, helpful staff - everything you need. Bit out of town centre and poor soundproof.
• Nia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tomo (8/5): Very good - The team organised a surprise for my partners' birthday, it was excellent!
• Amdi (9/5): Overall i recommend this place, it was a great stay. - I liked the hotel and the pool, which was just outside the rooms. It was like 15-20 min walk from the city center.
• Christiane (8/5): Very good -
• Nil (8/5): Good place for a reasonable price - It's a great place with good facilities and a perfect swimming pool when it's too hot. The staff was friendly and helpful. The floor is too noisy and when someone was smoking outside my room, the smoke was coming inside. There's only one plug that is connected to the fan, so if you want to charge your mobile phone, you can't use the fan.
• Alan (7/5): Good -
• Coyne (8/5): Very good -
• Matiss (8/5): Very good -
• Shengliang (8/5): Not bad. - Excellent environment, quiet, friendly service, clean and affordable accommodation，There are also fewer people. Why is there no quilt or blanket? I don't understand? Is it my first time to Thailand? Blankets need to be prepared by yourself?
• Marie-neige (9/5): Great place ! - The place is really really nice, very quiet and well arranged The swimming is great The staff is friendly and helpful It's located a bit far from the center
• Olga (8/5): There is a swimming pool - Swimming pool was amazing Staff members were so nice and polite They helped me to organize my slow boat trip to Laos I was staying in old part of the hotel which looks so much authentic. However there was no AC. It was the cheapest room. There was a fan though but in thirds temperatures it’s better to choose the room with an AC. Bathroom wasn’t also new.
• Bryan (8/5): Very good - I paid 200 baht for a twin room. It was great. The swimming pool was nice but high in chlorine. For 200 baht, it was amazing
• Miko (10/5): i was afraid it would be noisy, but it was great. the pool was quite welcome. - incredibly quiet, despite being in the middle of the city.
• Richard (9/5): Love Ben's - I was in the cheapest rooms. Fan and shared toilet. Pool was an oasis Well for B200 ($8) you cant complain right? But toilet floor was always wet so I covered with the ample amount of towels supplied
• Tiannah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bronan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joe (8/5): Very good -

• Deborah (7/5): Good - The main town was about a 10minute walk Lovely coffee shop behind the guest house Pool was fabulous Good place to stay Had issues with the first room but was quickly resolved
• Julien (8/5): Very good - Facilities are great, and we loved our time by the pool. Overall the hotel is really clean and they have good prices for scooter rental. Definitely recommend it. The room was a little bit old-fashioned but not a concern for the price and the venue
• Giulia (8/5): Quiet relaxing guesthouse - The room was cleaned perfectly everyday! Very quiet location. The staff is amazing and always on site. Thank you. You can walk to the center for 20mins or you rent a motorbike.
• Sandra (9/5): Nice place to stay - This place is amazing Nothing
• Douglas (9/5): Superb -
• Mae (6/5): Pleasant - We stayed here for 3 nights. Pleasant stay and it’s a short 15minute walk to the night bazaar. The pool looked great, (didn’t have a chance to swim) and staff were very friendly and helpful 😊 Towels smelled clean but appeared dirty but I think maybe from previous old stains. The shower mat was the same, it appeared to have muddy foot prints on it. The shower is right over the toilet and this can make for difficult showering at times.
• Andy (9/5): Superb - Lovely pool, clean light room. Make sure you get the room you are expecting. There are one or two dark ground floor rooms with no view at all.
• Scott (9/5): An enjoyable few days at a very nice location - Great location - nice walk to the clocktower area / restaurants. Room was clean and property well taken care of. Front desk staff were friendly and very helpful. Pool area was very nice alsoOnce tourism recovers and they are able to reopen their restaurant, it will be fantastic!
• Tejanna (9/5): Worth the money as it was very cheap - The pool was absolute paradise it made the stay so worth it! The bed was extremely uncomfortable, could feel the springs digging into you. The bathroom had a bad smell of urine that made the room stink.
• Bibi (9/5): Superb -
• Leighton (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, it's perfect. Nothing.
• Maria (7/5): Good - This is a review of 2 parts: PART 1 Initially we were given a room in the older wing (despite requesting the new wing). The screen door was broken, the balcony was so small could hardly fit 2 of us on it, the room was cramped, and the view was the back of old buildings, and the bathroom door would not close. The staff offered us another room next to the pool pump which was very noisy so we declined. Then they offered us a triple room which was very cramped with 3 beds (really only a double room) and the shelf was broken so we could not use it. However, we initially accepted the room until we saw the bathroom ceiling which was covered in black mould and the smell was really bad. These rooms would be rated 2 predominantly due to the mould. PART 2 Reception is 24hours so we told them we wanted a room on the new wing as initially requested on Booking.com and they said we could move our belongings into a deluxe double straight away. We were content to pay the extra just to get a decent room. The whole of the new wing was stunning. It looked and smelt brand new, and was so clean. The room was spacious, bright, modern. The bathroom the same standard. The balcony was small but I could sit and read and it overlooked the pool. This room would be rated 10. It was well worth the extra money. See above PART 1
• Janet (8/5): Very good - The room was clean, the bed comfortable, the staff friendly. The pool area needs more seating. The sounding area of the pool could be improved. Coffee and tea could be offered all day. Reasonable value not brilliant!
• Thomas (9/5): Superb -
• Soumyabrata (10/5): lovely and quiet place to stay - clean quiet comfortable. close to 7 11. has a pool and sitting area
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
