I just loved my experience here at the hostel. let’s begin talking about the spaces: everything was very clean, nice and new. The location was in a farm, where can enjoy a really beautiful view of the rice field. the breakfast was very good? they give you a very good amount of food for 65 baht. if you want to take a tour around Pai, you also can book it here! the staff is incredibly amazing and friendly. I have 0 complaints of this place. was perfect! and I would come again!!!

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Cheap and quiet place. It's located out of the town, so you better got a bike. Local market and shops are still not far away. Bungalows are budget and have just a bed, a fan and a bathroom. There's an outdoor public area with a bar and pool table. Check-in and check-out was easy, and you may keep your bags at the reception and use public toilet and shower after check-out.

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever been at! This hostel is a spiritual experience 🫶🏻 people are extremely nice, a lot of people from other hostels also come here to hang out. Plenty of activities to keep you busy. It’s far away from the Center yes but that’s part of the magic.

    The lady who runs the hostel is amazing! She can help you with literally anything - she can book your transport for the cheapest rate going, she got me a safety pin when i had a splinter and just in general i really felt like she was looking out for me which was so lovely especially as a solo female traveller. The beds too are super comfy with njce curtains and bathrooms njce too plus the garden is gorgeous - super nice place to chill you wouldn’t believe it’s right next to walking street - location could not be more perfect

    The best hostel we have stayed at in Thailand by far! Rooms are very clean and new, shower is amazing! Very sociable hostel! Bar open every night with good night life (special shout out to the bar man who was so lovely). The bar has all sorts of games out for you to get involved with… beer pong, connect 4, Uno, cards etc… met so many great people at this hostel! Great location and staff are very welcoming. Pool is clean and refreshing when it’s sunny. Cannot fault this hostel at all! Perfect for young backpackers who love to socialise!

    I think this is the best hostel in Pai! Good atmosphere and many opportunities to meet new people. The managers are very involved with the guests. Yoga classes are offered every day and trips are organized. The rooms are hygienic and comfortable enough. Good value for money. I would definitely go back here and regret not being able to stay longer.
