    It was a bit of a walk from the centre of town, but not too far for us. Maybe 15 minutes at our pace.

    The guesthouse itself was lovely, with a nice pool and good landscaping around. The room was comfortable and not too cramped.

    No refrigerator in the rooms so the water was boiling hot. Shared bathrooms aren’t ideal but it was bearable.

    Secluded little hotel with a lovely pool. Wasn’t busy at all so was nice to have the place to myself.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Had a great pool and could rent a scooter directly from the hotel . Rooms were comfortable and great wifi everywhere .

    The listing said there was a refrigerator in the room but that is not the case.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    It's a great place with good facilities and a perfect swimming pool when it's too hot. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    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?

    Excellent environment, quiet, friendly service, clean and affordable accommodation,There are also fewer people.

    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.

    Swimming pool was amazing Staff members were so nice and polite They helped me to organize my slow boat trip to Laos
