Great hostel to chill but..”

Such a great hostel to chill and socialize in the oustide area (big garden, hammocks, pool game, bar even though there were not really any staff behind, volley ball nets..). The staffs is really nice. The area is good, not too close and too far from the center (15-20mn walk to the night market). The only down sides to me were the fact that there were no curtains in the dorm rooms so not really any privacy (there are mosquito nets so it kind of hides a little bit), the mattress were reaally thin and hard and the showers were kind of broken but otherwise it was really good.

Bug free but not particularly clean. Not easily accessed without transport. Chill communal areas. Bathrooms are lacking. Locks on doors broken, no lights at night in some of the cubicles, inconsistent availability of hot water. Bed was comfortable enough. 150 bht a night can't really be surprised. Wouldn't recommend unless you have your own transport.

It is for a very particular type of travelers”

I’ve stayed here for two nights. The staff is very nice, the place, during the day, is peaceful. In the night the bar has the music very very loud and it rumbles for a very long time - I had to sleep with that annoying sound the two nights - which made me feel myself apologise for booked this place. The room was quite old and, even though it smelled to some cleaner products when I came, the walls were so dirty. The bathroom is poor, and it had the circle for the mirror but without a crystal (I didn’t care for two days but for a longer stay might would have been annoying too). The distance from the center is not that bad even if you don’t ride a motorbike like me. It’s 15-20mins walking. The mattress was very very hard I could feel every spring on my back. I'd only recommend it if you are in a very tight budget.

Acceptable”

Disappointed with our stay (guesthouse) Further out than expected, road to property is quite dark, not well lit street (to note for solo travelers). Room was in need of recoderating (cracked walls, towel rail was fallen off the wall, dripping shower) and a clean (hairs in sink, for example). Had to choose between hot water or water pressure, both didn’t work at same time. Plus, the bathroom is basically outdoors. Air con unit in the room, but no remote, just a fan. Pillows on the bed were basically worn out, and duvet didn’t properly cover the bed, wrong size. Staff were hard to find/ track down, when first arrived had to go searching for them. Wifi ONLY works in the communal space, no signal at all in the room. A positive was that they were flexible with check out time and payment.

Dont expect anything as in pictures. We booked a cottage bungalow and it was ok from the inside but the bathroom was very old. Garden is never cleaned, no lights in the night. Look haunted. Its near to Pai city center. Recommended only for low budget backpackers as by the name.

I would advise against booking this place”

This hostel was so bad that I left after being there for 10 minutes… Bad points: Rooms weren’t clean, mattresses were thin and hard like gym mats, fans in the room didn’t work, couldn’t find staff to check in when we got there, dormitory room didn’t lock and we weren’t given a key, showers had no light, were freezing cold, outside so full of bugs and mosquitos, floor was slimy and overall it was just horrible. Good points: it was cheap but still not worth the money.

Would not recommend the dormitory”

Me and my friend booked a stay in the dormitory for one night. We weren’t expecting much as it was cheap but what we were faced with was unacceptable. The rooms were filthy and the mattress was just a gym mat on a bunk bed. The showers were outside and full of bugs and moss. After we booked in we walked straight out and found somewhere else. The private rooms might be nice so I won’t be so quick to judge as the social area looked nice but I would definitely avoid the dorms.

Totally felt in love with Pai. Saw many Hostels around there. This was my favorite! So many nice people and such a chilled place. Totally loved it! Will never forget. (It‘s better to have a scooter to get to town because it’s a little bit outside. If not there are a lot of helpful people who can drive you to town aswell ❤️)
