Book Ban Phae hotels

If you have time (we had a month) and you are feeling jaded then a week at Saku boutique homestay is for you! Hosts Saku and Denny - two enterprising, sprightly characters will attend to your needs, provide airport shuttles and even dinner and laundry (if needed). They are two entertaining guides who want you to have a great time. We took an excursion with them to Chang Rai - blue temple and the white temple and a tea plantation. Saku and Denny are experienced hosts and worldly wise with a great sense of humour - ‘if you please’. 😉 Super clean and super friendly, the homestay is out of the hustle and bustle of the city centre but this means that you can relax, unwind and use fast wi-fi to plan. The plunge pool is a must on a hot day, especially after a trip to the hosts’ organic lime farm or Chiang Mai’s wholesale flower market. Thoroughly recommend. Hire a moped - the local back lanes are full of surprises and interest.

Great staff, good rooms, enjoyable stay for 3 weeks

Nice and comfortable, the bedroom was in great condition and balcony was really nice. Air con was also working, although we didn’t need it for our stay. We did notice a spot of old blood on the duvet but it seemed like a stain, and was otherwise definitely clean. They also provided a kettle and coffee for the morning, and assisted us with a late check in.

Basic place, a little out of town. Some mould on walls in bathroom and sink in the kitchen area. Good that there was a microwave, kettle, kitchen sink and a few pots.

Great service and great stay. Be careful, the stairs in the room can be slippery.

Not what i was expecting for $273 USD. The furniture and accessories were cheap or old (apart from a brand new refrigerator). There was construction right next to our room and our view consisted of a few trees, a tired, old, swimming pool some distant mountains and a giant construction site. The room is not regularly used as evidenced by the dusty cabinets, few amenities and a broken jacuzzi tub. The hotel is understaffed and distant. Despite having booked their most expensive room, I felt like I was paying a telephone bill. The room service menu was limited, bland and expensive. The breakfast reminded me of riding coach on a budget airline. Normally, I would not post anything negative unless absolutely nessesarry. However, $273 was WAY too much for what was delivered. I can not speak about the golfing experience as we were there for the comfort. However, the golf course seemed to get more attention. There was plenty of drinking water. The room was spacious, small robes provided and a working television. I hope this will save the next travellers some time and money.
