Every time an Agoda customer checks out of a hotel we send them an email asking them to write a review of their stay. This is the only way reviews can be submitted. Every review must then be approved by our content team before being posted on the Agoda website. Therefore, unlike many other travel sites, ALL Agoda reviews are certified and genuine.
We want you to pay the lowest possible rate for your room. If you have reserved a hotel room through Agoda, and then show us that you could book the same room, for the same dates, at a lower rate, that is viewable and bookable on another website, within 48 hours of booking your room with us, we will either match that rate or beat it.

The entrace and layout of this hotel is amazing This place is truly magical. From the moment you enter you feel like you are transformed to another place. It truly is like being in a village. the pool is lovely, but in winter does not get a lot of sun. the beds are really comfortable and the room are cozy.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Being located in the old city it is a great place to be located to view the nerous temples. A short walk to many places to eat.

Superior service, lush accommodations, friendly staff, and great location. Our room was a bit small but we only used it for sleeping so it wasn't a major issue. The moment you enter the resort, the lush gardens, the peaceful ambiance, and the helpful staff, all culminated in a great vacation experience. We spent five days there and couldn't be more pleased. Every request was quickly satisfied and the desire to assist was genuine and always done with a smile.
The included breakfast offered an abundant selection, from eggs cooked to order, to waffles, fresh fruit, yogurt, good coffee,and Thai specialties.
Restaurant Tip : If you're not a fan of Asian food, there is an excellent Italian restaurant a block away. It's not fancy but the food id delicious and inexpensive. The staff should be able to direct you to the location - I've seen them eat there.

None, the only thing is the price of food and drinks is a bit excessive, but ur paying for quality This was a fanastic hotel - great service, great rooms, great food, great location - I can complain of nothing.
The poolside is gorgeous and relaxing
Nightlife Tip : Walk into the night bazzar - only about 10min walk - it was great
Every sunday there is a market which is right outide the entrance to the hotel - if ur arriving that time be wary of that as the street is blocked - if ur already in the hotel go out an enjoy!

location, cleanliness, hospitality, great staff, ambiance, positive energy & a relaxing environment. no cons, had a great time The hotel is situated in a great location, it's in the city yet once you get inside the compound you get a feeling of being away from the madness of the city. Has money exchange, restaurants, bars & massage parlors close by. The staff is excellent, very courteous, humble & responsive, the Spa in the hotel too is very good. The hotel is very well maintained & clean with a very positive vibe. would love to stay at the same place when i visit Chiang Mai again. All thumbs up for the place.
Nightlife Tip : located in the city centre so very close to the night life & night bazaar.

Gorgeous grounds; extremely helpful and attentive staff; excellent full breakfast; well-appointed rooms Room had limited sunlight and privacy (though opened to a beautiful little courtyard); internet access only through common laptop in the lobby We loved our stay at Tamarind Village. The hotel is beautiful, the staff is helpful and attentive, and the rooms were well-decorated, though not much sunlight and limited privacy. We did have a pleasant little balcony opening onto the main courtyard though. Breakfast was splendid with many juices, beautiful fruits, delicious omlettes and porridge. The location cannot be beat and you have a sense of calm and privacy because of the way the hotel is secluded back from the road. We were there during the Sunday walking market and it was great to have such easy access but to feel isolated from it at the end of our night. After 3 nights we moved to another hotel in Chiang Mai to experience a stay outside the city and ended up wishing we had stayed at Tamarind for another 3 nights. You can stay in the heart of the Old City and it feels as if you're miles away!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Check out the square across the street for inexpensive and clean Thai massages.

Location and hotel grounds. Like most resorts the cost of spa treatments or hotel supplied transportation was excessive compared to what you can get outside the door. The location was excellent, just outside the hotel gate was the Sunday Market, but while inside it was quiet and tranquil. Could not believe I was in the old city.
The staff was attentive and seemed genuinely interested in your comfort and relaxing or having breakfast at the restaurant next to the pool was a pleasure.
Shopping Tip : Don't miss the Sunday market, but bring comfortable shoes it goes on for blocks.

Location in the center of old Chiang Mai.
Sits back away from the streets, so ZERO traffic noise.
Very good breakfast selection, was free with room.
The Sunday Evening Walking Street Night Market takes place directly in front of hotel, and is probably one of the best in Thailand.
The peace and solitude of this place is overwhelming.
Dogs barking on an adjoining property early each morning detracted from the otherwise usual peaceful tranquility.
Tour packages offered by hotel were limited to only a couple of operators.
Rude smokers liked to light up at the tables setup in the entrance to the restaurant, and this smoke cloud just drifted into the restaurant proper. My 2nd visit in the last year for this place. Not a large complex, but small and cosy. Yes cost is higher than some surrounding hotels, but the tranquility and service makes up for it.
If you like street market shopping, you only walk out the front entrance and there are several hundred vendors set up. Hill tribe crafts were less than a third the price found in Bangkok.
We will stay here again when we return next fall.
Shopping Tip : Schedule a stay over Sunday. The Sunday Evening Walking Street Market is fantastic.

Tamarind Village offers a calm and relaxing ambience from the moment you turn into the entrance. The staff are welcoming and attentive to your needs and the complementary 10 minute 'arrival' massage at the spa really starts your stay well. The courtyards provide interest as you move around the place. Rooms are well appointed with a traditional 'feel' and very comfortable beds. Breakfasts are good and the dinner menu has good quality Thai and international dishes. The spa is very good. There is limited public space if it's raining and you don't want to relax in your room. Some rooms within the courtyards have limited natural light and those towards the rear of the property are opposite a temple (some noise). Dogs barking through the night was a problem for one of our party. Tamarind Village was highly recommended by friends, as was booking the Lanna Deluxe rooms for additional space and light. However, the twin bedded rooms are not much bigger than the regular Lanna rooms, book a double with King sized bed for up to 50% more space! I questioned the room sizes with the staff towards the end of my stay and could have chosen an alternate room if available. This was the first boutique hotel in Chiang Mai and so the character of the courtyards dictates the room sizes - ask ahead of booking or for the possibility of a change upon arrival if necessary. Altogether the experience of staying at Tamarind Village was a very positive one. The spa is very good and staff are very helpful. The space around the pool is narrow but this didn't seem to be a problem - there is so much to do in Chiang Mai and environs most people are out all day. The hotel is centrally located within the old city walls so there is lots to see within walking distance and the main shopping areas are not far away. The hotel is well known by taxis and tuk tuk drivers. We privately hired our airport taxi driver for 6 hours (800 baht) rather than use the hotel driver (1700 baht). The hotel staff were also very helpful with suggestions for restaurants and sourcing specific shopping items within the city which helped tremendously. We will stay again and relax more next time!
Restaurant Tip : Simple,clean and cheap eating outlets in a 'plaza' across the road from the main entrance - lunch for less than 100 baht

Great quiet location, authentic Thai boutique feel with lots of character, excellent service The only con was that its not especially close to the night market, although its a quick tuk-tuk ride away. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Chiang Mai. The hotel is well located in the Old City, yet feels like a quiet retreat. The service was impeccable and they went above and beyond to accommodate any request, including providing us with a boxed breakfast when we left for a tour before the buffet started one morning. Our included breakfast was lovely and the rooms were outstanding. Tamarind Village had the most comfortable bed of our entire stay in Thailand!

friendliness of staff, excellent service, good restaurant, nice rooms, central location thin walls, so you can hear neighbours taking a shower;
too much light coming to room in the night due to thin curtains overall very good hotel with excellent service and staff (e.g. we had late flight and hotel provided us a room to take shower and change clothes). Would stay again.
What was disturbing us most was thin curtains on windows and doors (with glass), so it was quite bright in the room during night because of outside lights.

Hotel/room condition is very nicely maintained as well as hotel staff's attitude was very friendly and amicable. Tamarind hotel was located in the center of the Old City, which is very convenient to the famous Sunday Night Market and almost everywhere in Chiang Mai. Although the hotel is small but it was the overall atmosphere that attracts people to visit again and again. My stay in Tamarind Village was worth a 5-star rating and I will recommend to all my friends who will be travelling to Chiang Mai.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Hotel is just located in the center of Sunday Night Market. Very convenient!

Very nice, local flavor and architecture add to the ambiance. Great staff. Somehow they manage to be right in the center of town, but manage a quiet experience. We stayed here twice on our trip, first for 3 days while we saw the local area and last for one night of transience between drives. Both experiences were very enjoyable. Staff is very helpful.

Great central location, especially for the sunday market The rooms can seem dark or isolated. There are not many restaurants nearby. This was our first trip to Chaing Mai and the front desk made us feel very welcome. We had trouble deciding on excursions and received good advice from the reception. The private tour we took to ride elepants was great. The breakfasts are wonderful as are the dinners. Yet the hotel also gave good suggestions for dinner elsewhere. We happened to be there on Sunday and were very pleasantly surprised by the access to the Sunday market. A must. We would definitely return.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : The Gallery restaurant on the river and also the Sunday night market.

Friendly staff, great location, subtle and elegant interior, fantastic spa Pricey for the market in Chiang Mai, breakfast was average You will be hard pressed to find a more elegant hotel inside the the walls of the old city. The location is very central and the hotel was clean, the staff unwaveringly service oriented, and the design of the place fantastic. We paid about $125/night which seemed a bit on the high side considering the deep discounts being offered elsewhere, but having said that, I did not regret the money spent. I also tried out the spa for a 1 1/2 hour Thai massage which was bone meltingly good, although also on the pricey side (around 1600 THB versus 350 in normal massage joints). I would definitely stay here again.

Location, quiet, ambiance and helpful staff. Breakfast was great, but we did not not have lunch or dinner there. We chose Tamarind Village because it is close and within easy walking distance of both Pub Street and the Night Bazaar. It is also close to other attractions in the old city. It is very quiet, very mellow and very hospitable. We were not disappointed.
Restaurant Tip : easy walking distance to Pub Street, which is really a trip.
