Cheap Hotels in Mae Rim

"Very well furnished, clean hotel. There is a nice garden outside but unfortunately that is a smoking zone. Check-in was smooth. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom, soap, shampoo were great. The room I was allocated had noise from music nearby. I couldn't sleep early as a result. Breakfast was sufficient. Given the location of the hotel, the amenities existing in the hotel are necessary but they aren't functional. Bar and restaurant weren't functional during my stay. Accessibility to/ from the hotel are an issue. Even grab is not reliable in this area during evenings unless you book premium. The public park nearby is quite pretty and at a walking distance but there are rabid dogs en route, making it very unsafe. The sidewalks are unleveled. Lady at the reception working at night wasn't helpful to me or other guests who had simple requests. Trashy attitude. Reception imparts the first and final impression of a hotel, so a welcoming and helpful attitude is mandatory for good business. What's the point in naming a hall after Mahamaya when even basic 'maya' is delivered in a shabby way. Have a job, do it right or else sitting at home is always an option available by default."

"Very nice and aesthetically decorated resort which is run by a group of honest and hardworking bunch of employees. The facilities are well maintained and clean. Breakfast was great. Of course do not expect the resort like other reviews here to be insect free as it’s on a mountain surrounded by trees and waterfall and nature"

"Beautiful accommodation nestled on a hill with a great location and hardly any obstructed views. The ascent was a bit challenging, but the staff provided excellent service. They offer Korean BBQ and food at affordable prices."

"I like the view; however, the bed was very hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. There were also a lot of bugs from nature, including mosquitoes and ants, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the outdoor bathtub. The room I stayed in did not have air conditioning or a refrigerator, and the door did not close properly, allowing mosquitoes and other insects to get inside. However, I really appreciated their service — the staff was very nice and helpful."

"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."

"It’s a very unique glamping experience . The rooms are clean and have all the basics. If you’re going in the cold season, take extra blanket and layers for the night as it gets super cold inside the rooms. It’s close to mon jam sky view. If yiu’re into hiking or running, the loop is also just next to you. The gentleman at the reception is very welcoming, and genuinely kind. He helped us with our car issue patiently and kindly. We didn’t get to thank him properly as he was dealing with some arriving guest. So, thank you so much for your help."

"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 room is private, clean, quiet, and has a good atmosphere. However, it's not cold yet when I come here. Sitting on the balcony in the morning, the view is very beautiful and beautiful at night. The food and drinks are sold very cheaply because I thought that if you go deep inside, it would be expensive, but it wasn't at all. It was my first time here and I liked it. If you've never been there, I recommend arriving and checking in in the afternoon. It's not dark because it's hard to find the entrance and I'm afraid of getting lost. The pork barbecue is delicious. The breakfast is very delicious. Overall, it's good and correct. I'll definitely come again."

"Amazing stay overall. The Imperial room was honestly better than the onsen itself — properly hot water even late at night. Staff were top class the whole time, and the small touches like fresh pajamas, tea, and snacks every night made the experience feel special. The surroundings are beautiful, super quiet, and very well maintained. Loved the animals around the property too. Food was surprisingly great, especially the fresh fish and the à la carte breakfasts. Drinks were reasonably priced as well. Only minor downside: the outdoor onsen could use one extra very hot pool, especially for nighttime since the current pools feel a bit too mild when it gets cold. Would definitely come back!"

"I have tried so many hotels, this resort offers the most comfortable bed. The view is superb here in the mountains. Very friendly staff. Giving you the top priority. Dinner was great, book your dinner with them, you get to bbq and sabu sabu with the beautiful mountain top view. This place is difficult to book so make sure to book early. Only thing is have to make sure the driver send you all the way into the resort. Dont drop you at the goggle map drop off point, which you will need to walk extra with your luggage."
