Scenic Hotels in Mae Rim

"I have tried so many hotels, this resort offers the most comfortable bed. The view is superb here in the mountains. Very friendly staff. Giving you the top priority. Dinner was great, book your dinner with them, you get to bbq and sabu sabu with the beautiful mountain top view. This place is difficult to book so make sure to book early. Only thing is have to make sure the driver send you all the way into the resort. Dont drop you at the goggle map drop off point, which you will need to walk extra with your luggage."

"Setup is nice - a dome tent, a bathtub outdoors, a camping table/2 chairs and bean bag sitting area. Will be alot nicer with more cleaning and maintenance. Dome tent had a musky smell (dampness). But overall good for a night's stay."

"Very well furnished, clean hotel. There is a nice garden outside but unfortunately that is a smoking zone. Check-in was smooth. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom, soap, shampoo were great. The room I was allocated had noise from music nearby. I couldn't sleep early as a result. Breakfast was sufficient. Given the location of the hotel, the amenities existing in the hotel are necessary but they aren't functional. Bar and restaurant weren't functional during my stay. Accessibility to/ from the hotel are an issue. Even grab is not reliable in this area during evenings unless you book premium. The public park nearby is quite pretty and at a walking distance but there are rabid dogs en route, making it very unsafe. The sidewalks are unleveled. Lady at the reception working at night wasn't helpful to me or other guests who had simple requests. Trashy attitude. Reception imparts the first and final impression of a hotel, so a welcoming and helpful attitude is mandatory for good business. What's the point in naming a hall after Mahamaya when even basic 'maya' is delivered in a shabby way. Have a job, do it right or else sitting at home is always an option available by default."

"The accommodation is beautiful, clean, but high, the entrance is difficult to find. You have to notice, otherwise drive at all. In the evening, there are delicious grilled pork, a lot of pleasant, like to go in winter. The weather is very cool, overall good."

"From the moment I booked, both rooms I saw on Trip.com looked different from the actual photos. After several complaints, only one room was upgraded. Finally, upon check-in, the other room was also upgraded, but it still wasn't the same as the room I saw and booked through Trip.com. Among several issues, the most inconvenient was that the hot water only ran for about 5-10 minutes initially and then stopped. I was satisfied with the overall atmosphere, the landscape of the resort and cafe, and the evening BBQ party. The staff's kindness was also very impressive. However, I wouldn't want to book here again."

"I really loved the service at NJ Homestay. Although the staff may not speak or understand English very well, we managed just fine using Google Translate. Our room’s toilet did give us some trouble during our stay — the water heater wasn’t working at first, and later the toilet had flushing issues, which continued throughout the two nights we were there. That said, I want to give a special shoutout to the staff, who were always patient and helpful, never hesitating to assist us with unclogging the toilet or checking the heater whenever there was a problem. The location isn’t the most convenient since it’s up in the mountains, but having a private driver made a big difference. Breakfast was included and it was great. As for cleanliness, it was acceptable considering the homestay is located in a mountainous area — some bugs are expected, and roosters start crowing as early as 3:30 a.m. Overall, the beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere, fresh air, and friendly staff and locals (Chiang Mai people are generally very warm and welcoming) made the stay worthwhile. I would definitely visit again."

"The hotel is beautiful, but it's built on a mountainside, so the buildings you need are spread out on a very steep road, so it's not easy to move around it. There are golf buggies that take you from place to place if you call them, but having to ask for a vehicle every time you want to go and eat or leave is quite annoying. The distances are walkable, but not if you have mobility issues. The pavements are also in far worse condition than the roads, so you end up walking on the roads and having to keep jumping out the way of the passing vehicles. Photos are attached of the view of the very steep road going up next to our balcony to show an example of the scale of the steepness. The location is remote. Apparently taxi apps like Grab and Bolt do not work here, although we did manage to quickly book a Bolt to take us here from Chiang Mai centre. A car and driver can be hired from the hotel for 2500 baht for 4 hours. I wouldn't recommend visiting if you don't have your own vehicle, as there is nothing nearby you can walk to. On check-in, the hotel said they offered room service, but there were no menus in the rooms. The room cleaning was slow if you are on a higher floor - on our 2 days, they didn't manage to visit all morning despite us leaving the ”please clean room” sign on the door. I found out later that you can ring reception to ask your room to be prioritised. The restaurant is expensive compared to central Chiang Mai, and they recommend that you reserve a table every night you want to eat there, but the food was good. Service was a bit chaotic. On the night we arrived, at 5:30 pm, reception told us they had reserved a table for us. But when we went to the restaurant, that did not seem to be the case, and we were taken to an unreserved table in a loud and echoey room. I then had to go up and ask to order as no-one came, and then the order was missing items when it did arrive. Randomly on the grounds near the lobby, there is a parrot in a tiny cage compared to its size with no entertainment, hardly any plants, and barely anywhere to perch. It's really sad to see."

"We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. The service was impeccable, with the staff arranging transportation for us at the very last minute, and even contacted our next hotel stay for advance arrangements, which we sincerely appreciated. The weather was great in Jan, with fresh air from the nature. Managed to capture a breathtaking view of the full moon surrounded by stars. Breakfast was exceptional, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was serene and deeply relaxing. The Imperial Suite with a private onsen was exquisite. Highly recommended."

"Oh boyyyy.. the route to CR Farm Stay was long and winding!! Felt dizzy at some point. BUT, i enjoyed the journey as it is a scenic road drive that i don’t get to see back home. Once i’ve reached the place (the room that ive chosen), all that complaining disappears! The view was breathtaking, freshest air that i can breathe, coolest air that just calms me down and the symphony of the nature is just BEAUTIFUL! LOVE IT! A small cozy room, toilet is decent (perhaps you can do abit of deep cleaning, or using plant-based bleach 😅😬). But the view just makes everything acceptable! hehe The staffs were really friendly and punctual with their delivery of my dinner and breakfast! Overall, my stay with CR Farm Stay was beautiful and memorable! Thank you!! P.S. The picture I took doesn’t do the view justice, you have to experience it for yourself! 🤗"

"It will be good if you have your own transport to here. But you still can travel to here by arranging share transport from Klook - to Queen SiriKit Botanic Garden. (It just 10 to 15 min walk) or request them to send you straight to the Mae Sa Valley Farm Stay Resort. Over all the place is nice with a small waterfall. Air is fresh in the morning.  Simple Breakfast is included. The restaurant food is good. But we prefer the cafe with aircon which is just opposite the road. Food is yummy! Since we have no transport we walk to the Queen SiriKit Botanic Garden which is the nearest activity. You will need to spend about 3 hrs or more. There is a tram to bring you round. Please remember to bring along mosquito repellent. Over all the stay is pleasant if you like quite, fresh air."
