Guest Reviews
- Marta (9/5): -
- Pootegg (9/5): Not a four star hotel but was very clean and functional don't ignore it for good basic accomodation - Great location outside the moat close to bus and rail stations easy access to central festival by grab .. the place was not modern but exceptionally clean with great hospitality from the hosts. This is a two star rated hotel so high scores but it is not a modern chain hotel manage your expectations. We will go again . Very functional . Laundry facilities with good local restaurants and 7/11 closebyv. I need to take a softer pillow .. beds are Thai style hard which is expected . .
There is noise as noted by the owner from traffic but close the door to the bathroom and then it is negligible. Expect a few birds enjoying the dawn.
- Molly (10/5): - The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. Within a few minutes walk to the bus station which was perfect after my long journey. Very clean and lovely decorated cosy room.
- Anonda-sheryl (10/5): PARFAIT ! - franchement 10/10, des hôtes incroyable, d’une gentillesse hors norme, agréable, serviable, aidant, doux, on est arriver à 7h du matin car on a prit un bus de nuit. Les chambres son censé être dispo pour 14h. Les hôtes ont tout mit en œuvre et nous somme rentrée dans la chambre a 8h. Je sais pas quoi dire à part que notre séjour a était incroyable, chaleureux et doux avec eux. Une chambre propre, efficace, à coter de la gare vraiment à 2/3 min à pied, le Night Market est pas très loin non plus. Franchement c’était comme des deuxième parents pour nous. Ils sont tellement gentils et agréable. Merci à eux pour leurs accueils incroyables et leurs gentillesses pur. Ils méritent plus que se commentaire. Je leur souhaite toute la réussite du monde, je recommande l’hôtel à 1000000%. Merci Beaucoup pour tout
- AZUSA (10/5): 最高 - とても優しく、気遣いのあるご夫婦でした!!
到着に遅れてしまったのですが、快く対応して下さりとても助かりました!!バスターミナルからも近く、24時間営業のご飯屋さんも近くにあるのでとてもおすすめです!!
- Andy C (7/5): - Good option for a 1 night stay a few hundred yards away from bus station 3.
- โส (10/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): - The family running the guesthouse are delightful and hilarious! I enjoyed chatting with them, the room was nice, and it is literally a stone's throw from the bus station.
- Mandy (10/5): More than pleasant. Loving and caring people. Good location. - The nicest hosts ever. 💕 If you like solid beds and wind chimes, this is the place for you. Instant coffee station, private fridge & bathroom, A/C, TV, nice room. A little garden und you can do your laundry.
- Brigitte Boden (10/5): -
- Jude (10/5): - There is a couple that own Ban Maitree. I can't remember their names but they are the nicest people you'll ever meet, they were so helpful and sweet. I hope I can stay here again in the future. Great location aswell in the quieter part of chiang mai but close enough to the city centre
- Marlène (10/5): -
- Olavi (8/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): - The staff...being the owner. Absolutely delightful women. She made us feel so welcome after a long bus trip. Soo helpful. The accommodation is basically a hotel room. Very clean. Location is perfect if you are catching a bus to Pai or Chiang Rai. Nothing!!! Perhaps the bed was hard but it's tough to find a soft bed anywhere in northern Thailand
- Mary (8/5): - Great little place to stay, a couple of minutes walk from the bus station, if you're taking a bus in and out of Chiang Mai.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful giving excellent tips regarding where to eat locally.
The room is very clean and there's a pretty garden too. The bed was quite hard but fine for 1 night.
- Michal SVK (9/5): -
- Holger (10/5): - Nahe Busbahnhof, aber trotzdem ruhig. Schöner kleiner Garten, komfortables und sauberes Zimmer inkl. Wasser, Kaffee & Pflegeutensilien. Sehr nettes Personal. Gleich den "Boxer" in mir erkannt.;-) ---
- Christelle (10/5): - Accueil très soigné. Gentillesse des propriétaires
- Conte (10/5): -

- Frenk (8/5): -
- Tudor70 (10/5): Ok - Everything Nothing
- Elisabeth (8/5): - Simple, propre et fonctionnel. Emplacement appréciable car à proximité du terminal de bus.
"Tante Aime" et son mari sont charmants.
- EVAGELOS (9/5): - Έχει έναν υπέροχο κήπο πολύ περιποιημένο.
Οι ιδιοκτήτες του ξενοδοχείου ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετικοί μας παρείχαν κάθε διευκόλυνση και τις ανάλογες οδηγίες για τις εξορμήσεις μας στην γύρω περιοχή.
Τους ευχαριστούμε από καρδιάς.
- Oto (10/5): -
- samuel (7/5): - Le personnel est adorable, c'est un bon hébergement pour dormir une nuit avant de prendre le bus. Les lits sont vraiment très durs
- Dimitri (9/5): Très bon rapport qualité prix et très bon emplacement pour prendre le bus - Les propriétaires sont d'une extrême gentillesse et sont très disponibles pour rendre votre séjour agréable.
Ils nous ont d'emblée proposé une chambre un peu plus spacieuse (comme un petit studio) et à l'écart du passage pour notre tranquillité car nous restions 2 nuits.
L'hébergement est simple mais dispose de tout ce qui est nécessaire. Eau à volonté.
Proximité du terminal des bus. Le bruit des équipements techniques qui se trouvent juste devant la fenêtre de la chambre.
Une petite lampe de chevet à côté du lit serait bienvenue.
- djoneverett (8/5): - Staff was super friendly and caring. Location is good near the Bus station but tucked away in a more quite corner. Nice little garden was a a good place to relax. Mattress was very firm - some people like that, but for me I prefer a softer one. The curtains. Don't entirely block out the light outside my unit and I'm a bit sensitive to light when trying to fall asleep. For a budget stay it's still quite good.
- Radek (10/5): - Friendly owner
They helped me with my bus
Clean room
Peaceful place
Just 500m from bus terminal
- Daniel (10/5): Perfect transition stay - Perfect location near the bus station in Chiang Mai. Small, quiet garden behind the house, very friendly and helpful owners. You get exactly what is advertised. Would stay again anytime. Nothing to judge
- Giuseppe (10/5): I due owners migliori di Chiang Mai - i proprietari della struttura sono due persone meravigliose. Un gentilezza disarmante che ti lascia senza parole. La signora, simpaticissima e sempre sorridente (come anche il marito), ha addirittura inserito un foglio di carta igienica tra OGNI PAGINA del mio passaporto per farlo asciugare prima, perchè si era resa conto che era bagnato. lo metto qui ma più come consiglio che come lamentela: il letto è un po' duro quindi se siete abituati a letti morbidi potreste far fatica a dormire
- Mateusz (10/5): - Będę wszystkim znajomym polecał te miejsce! Niesamowici gospodarze, z którymi można porozmawiać, duży i przestronny pokój, niesamowicie czysto, wszystko bez zarzutu, codziennie dostawałem również wodę. Lokalizacja bardzo blisko dworca autobusowego, z którego można pojechać w różne rejony Tajlandii. Nie było takiej rzeczy.
- Danny Quesnel (10/5): - Everything, the couple that runs the place are very friendly. The lady even gave me an excellent recommendation for a restaurant near by.
The location is a 5min walk to the bus station, perfect if you have an early bus to catch.
The room has everything you need, A/C, fan, refrigerator, plugs near the bed, hot water and towels.
I will definitely book this place again when I go back to Chiang Mai and I highly recommend. Nothing
- Elizabeth (10/5): Excellent value for money and lovely, relaxing atmosphere - Really lovely calm atmosphere, both of the owners are so friendly and welcoming Nothing to dislike
- Sarah (10/5): Excellent location - We enjoyed our stay at Ban Maitree. The owners are so lovely and kind. It is in a great location for the bus stop. The room is comfortable and has everything you’d need.
- Elodie (9/5): Super Séjour ! - - Nous sommes arrivés tard et les 2 hôtes étaient présents pour nous accueillir, c’était une belle attention (23h)
- Les bouteilles d’eau (4bouteilles)
- Il y avait tout le nécessaire pour se doucher ect
- La proximité du terminal de bus
- La Clim
- La chambre est sécurisé avec une clef et les fenêtres avec des grillages + la fermeture du portail par clef également
- Parfait pour 1 ou 2 nuits - Les draps sont en polyester mais on a quand même bien dormi
- Sol (10/5): - El lugar es muy agradable y limpio. Me ayudaron en todo momento, la dueña es una persona muy amable y se preocupo que siempre estuviera comoda.
- Simone (8/5): -
- Annika (10/5): Liebste Vermieterin, nah am Busbahnhof - Sehr nah am Busbahnhof gelegen. Die Besitzerin ist unglaublich lieb. Sie hat uns kostenlos Kaffee und Kekse angeboten. Am Morgen vor unserer Abfahrt hat sie uns auch noch Bananen von ihrer Farm mitgegeben. Das fanden wir super nett.
Das Zimmer ist einfach eingerichtet, hat aber alles was man braucht. Die Klimaanlage ist leise, die Handtücher riechen frisch (ist ja leider oft nicht der Fall). Es gibt einen großen Kühlschrank und warmes Wasser zum Duschen. Shampoo und Zahnbürste werden auch von der Vermieterin gestellt. Hinten ist ein kleiner Garten und es stehen drei Fahrräder zur kostenlosen Verfügung, die wir aber nicht genutzt haben. Die Betten sind etwas hart. Aber das ist in Thailand ja oft so.
- Juan Santiago (10/5): - Its a peaceful place Nothing
- YOSHIKO (10/5): お勧めです - 老闆和老闆娘很親切 房間很乾淨 外面安靜
部屋清潔で快適でした 冷蔵庫も大きかったしミネラルウォーターが4本もついてました 経営されてるご夫婦がめちゃくちゃ感じ良くて チェンライ行きの前泊で一泊だけだったのが残念でした 次回はここに1週間くらい泊まりたいです 無し
- Kerstin (10/5): Gemütlich, sauber und schön - Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und schön. Ich habe mich direkt wohlgefühlt. Es gab auch eine kleine Küche und Räder zum leihen. Sie liegt ganz zentral in der Nähe vom Busbahnhof. Nichts

- Fanni (10/5): Perfect location next to the bus station and the owner is the sweetest lady with good English. - The location is really good before a trip as it is right next to the bus station (but in a quiet street) and the host lady is the sweetest.

- Tamara (10/5): The perfect place for my 5 week stay in Chiang Mai! - I can’t say enough good stuff about my stay at Ban Maitree. It was absolutely perfect for my extended 5 week stay to attend school nearby. Amie is the perfect hostess and went far beyond what she needed to in order to assure my stay was top notch.
