Mae Rim Hotels with Balcony

"ที่พักสวย สะอาด แต่อยู่สูงทางเข้าหายาก ต้องสังเกตุไม่งั้นขับเลย ตอนเย็นมีหมูกะทะอร่อย ให้เยอะถูกใจ ไปช่วงหน้าหนาว อากาศเย็นดีมาก โดยรวมดีค่ะ"

"This place is amazing! The resort is only about a 40-minute drive from Chiang Mai city. The resort itself is great, with separate bathrooms, and I particularly liked that they provided plenty of pillows – they weren't stingy at all. The forest view is stunning and so peaceful. If you're looking for a forest retreat, I truly recommend this. I'll definitely be back! They even provide amenities, and breakfast is good. At night, no worries, they have shabu-shabu sets which are just fantastic. 10/10/10!"

"My stay was overall okay, and the room itself was clean with amenities restocked daily, which I appreciated. However, it does feel like the hotel is cutting corners in ways that impact the guest experience. The body gel and shampoo provided were very low quality, and I was surprised to find there was an extra charge for additional towels. Since the hotel is located farther from town, it would greatly benefit guests if amenities were more accommodating — such as keeping the bar and café open past 18:00 and offering an on-site laundry room. The balcony was a nice feature, but unfortunately there was no seating to actually enjoy the space. While the hotel meets basic standards, improving the quality of amenities and making small adjustments for guest comfort would make a significant difference, especially given its remote location."

"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."

"This is a very nice place to stay. The decor is lovely and the staff are friendly. Although the location is quite inland and the access road is on a private road that isn't very good. The only complaint is that there was no hot water on the day of our stay."

"Nice room, clean, very well decorated, very good atmosphere. Even though going to rest during the rainy season, the weather is cool, there is a tea set when staying. In the morning, the weather is very good, cool, it is a good rest."

"The staff, both the women and men, were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service. The road to the accommodation is easy and accessible even for small cars. The rooms have a rustic, homestay feel, with a million-dollar view. The cafe is lovely, and the flowers are so healing. The BBQ pork (Moo Krata) was delicious – a must-order for anyone visiting!"

"The accommodation is very relaxing and quiet, perfect for a real getaway. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, especially the congee. We also ordered the *mookata* set, and it arrived exactly when we requested. It was so tasty and a huge portion; two people could barely finish it."

"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! 🤗"

"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."
