Great space, gorgeous pool and lookout. Comfy beds, dorms are warm bungalows cold. Good breakfast.”
I think this review should be able to help any traveler: i stayed at circus for a week and I can tell you that it’s the best option in town with regards to amenities hands down. It was super cold at night and my dorm (stayed in 2) was nice and toasty. The beds were also very comfy and soft. The pool is infinity and gorgeous with a great lookout, perfect place to chill during the heat of the day. The vibe was definitely party and not super chill although that just depends on the volunteers and who happens to be staying there at the time. My friends who stayed in bungalows had a colder time at night. I preferred the vibe of the ppl I met from hostels like spicy pai and deejai backpackers but they don’t have pools and they were freezing at night. As long as your friendly you will meet ppl at waterfalls and Hotsprings or at the bars at night. Breakfast was adequate and all you can eat for 100 baht. Hostel is a 8 min walk from town but motorbike in pai is pretty much a must so good luck!

we had soo much fun staying at the circus hostel!! amazing people and volunteers ”
the hostel was amazing in a couple of ways, at first the view from the pool, the vibes of the place and the people we got to know there !! the disadvantage was that they have only 2 dorms of 4 ppl and 2 dorms of 12 ppl the rest was private room.. we stayed at a private one and they didn't clean our room at all while we stayed ther, and their restaurant was expensive in my opinion..

Good hostel to party in pai ”
I loved this hostel : the view is amazing, I loved the infinity pool, the breakfast is delicious, the bungalows are cheap considering the comfort and charm, the scooter rental is cheap, close to the city center but situated in a peaceful and cute neighborhood. Only thing : don’t go there if you’re looking for something quiet. People are partying until midnight-1am with loud music in the garden. If you want to have a good sleep this is probably not the best place. I highly recommend otherwise !

Great Hostel to meet people”
Pai Circus Hostel has beautiful views with cool activities daily and they offered a free small dinner every evening. It was a lovely social environment and less than a 10min walk to the walking street. Would highly recommend

Excellent”
I love pai , this hostel is very nice to make friend and chill . But music untill midnight, hard to sleep before it ,you have to know it. In the Bamboo house you ear all the sound around ,need earplug and again... I switch for the greensolo house and was very better. The pool and animation is very great. You can walk easily to the village so very close. The staff dont look very happy ,may be is boring about party people. If not Was a perfect moment for me. Thank you

Great value for money, beautiful view, the pool is not super clean but ok. Free yoga (we had a great yoga instructor) and free circus juggling and poi lessons. We had great time.

Excellent”
My stay at Circus was quite alright. The room I booked (with aircon) apparently didn't even exist, but this turned out to be Agoda's fault, not the hostel's. The pool was nice but not very special since it was relatively small and smelly. There was a party vibe yet not in a bothering way; I met the nicest people. They offer free dinner: you get a small portion of Pad Thai or a soup. Moreover, you can rent scooters at the hostel but it's also only a 15 minute walk into town. I liked my stay at Pai Deejais better, but I wouldn't discourage anyone to stay at Circus.

Fun place,”
Fun place to chill and relax in Pai. Nice place to chill by the pool and watch sunset (If you’ve already seen the sunset from Pai Canyon) Great breakfast Buffet for only 100B. Free dinner every night. Great people to mingle with

Great views, cold nights”
For the price the hostel was great. Amazing views all day round and if you're up for a good night they provide it. A great way to have a few drinks and spend time with fellow travellers. I've read people say it's clicky bit that's only when groups are travelling together. They are still friendly and inviting for chats etc. At night it gets very cold and the huts we stayed in are not very insulated so be prepared to wear layers until the morning!

Not bad just so far away from everything”
Nice swimming pool, room was good enough too. Not really a circus resort they just have some equipment laying about.. a good 15/20 minute walk away from anything so that’s why I wouldn’t recommend.

Bad”
Very expensive for what little it offers. The pool was out of service, the weather was really hot and we hasn’t a discount for that. I didn’t see any yoga class, the circus classes were almost without materials, the teacher very good and fun, but the hostel did not have the materials. The bedrooms are very messy. All the staff very well!

Acceptable”
The cleanness is one of the issue and the LOUDLY creaking sound could just shock you up anytime!!! AC is pretty bad, so the room is basically warm and you can find yourself wake up socking in sweat. Will never go back again.

Too far out of the town”
Did not enjoy my stay. A 15 minute walk up from the town meaning as a solo Traveller I could not leave the accommodation after dark as I didn't feel safe. The room I was initially given was very cramped with single beds almost touching. Felt more like a campsite grounds than a hostel.

Pretty awful ”
Easily my worst experience at a hostel so far. Honestly I should have read more before coming here, but I was disappointed in every aspect of my experience here. I appreciate social hostels but this was definitely too much of a party for me. The service was awful and rude, and the accommodation was sub par and unclean. I had to go to the hospital during my stay and the receptionist was only concerned with if I would make it back from the hospital in time for check out or not. I was initially attracted to this place under the impression that there would be yoga, or some extent of circus activities, this was not the case at all, absolutely no classes were offered during my stay.

Exceptional”
I started off as a solo traveler but now am not thanks to circus. The vibe here is better than any other hostel I’ve been to. I was concerned with bed bugs/cleanliness but the bungalows were spotless and never had an issue. The beds are lumpy but I fell asleep easily at night. People take you in as family here. Free breakfast buffet, free dinner, and free sunset shots added up to a great time. Would highly recommend circus for solo travelers or groups who aren’t looking for a drink till you throw up hostel, but a have as much fun as possible hostel.

This hostel has a very nice atmosphere!”
You can meet many travellers from all over the world.It's easy to find someone for a day trip.Just be social.Don't miss the sunset view at the beautiful canyon.You can rent a scooter/helmet at the hostel if they have any left(around 200)The town is in walking distance over a small bamboo bridge.Where you can go to the night market for delicious street food.ATM right outside hostel.The pool view is amazing.100 baht buffé breakfast was nice,they make you fresh eggs any way you like.Fresh fruit and waffles/ pancakes/toast.Drinks included.Unfortunately no free water to refill,only option is to buy plastic or filter your own.The shuttle bus to Ciang Mai ist only 180 baht from hostel no need to walk into the centre.I stayed in green hut with fan.Comfy bed,but it gets hot in the mornings better to get cheaper bamboo hut with mosquito net.Stay far away from the pool.Loud music some nights,but can still sleep with earplugs.After 1/2am without.Wish I could have stayed longer.7days was not enough

Magical Place”
Love this place. The best people are there and some evenings you don't even need to go into Pai as the place is buzzing. The pool is amazing, the staff are fab and the accommodation is better than expected for 150bht! Go for the experience and the amazing people you will meet there.
