This place is a hidden gem! We loved our stay and even extended by a day. Didi had bikes we could rent, which we did for two days to explore the country side. He suggested great places for coffee, temples and the national park. Great food in town and on the property. So many fish, butterflies and frogs live in the garden making it such a peaceful place to be in nature. We took a grab out to the resort from Chiang Mai, though could not get one back into the city. The owner helped us arrange a cab back to Chiang Mai. Consider booking a return trip on the app before you leave the city if using grab app. I could have spent weeks here, you will love it!

Extremely beautiful property, the jungle garden is exceptional and even as a non-gardener you can see that so much work went into it and it's still being cared for very carefully. The pool is huge, it's so quiet and peaceful, all you hear is birds and frogs. The owner is incredibly kind and hardworking, very helpful because he speaks Thai, German, French, and English, a handyman with all the local experience. Everything is super clean, and you can eat in the resort's restaurant delicious home made food

The hotel bungalows are located in the middle of a beautiful garden, if you like plants you will love it! The area is quiet and the views from the restaurant overlooking the river were just lovely. For breakfast there is a menu to chose from.

We were allocated a very small bungalow by the main gate. The bed took up most of the floor space and although the description mentioned a sitting area outside there was none, the gardens being so lovely it would have been nice to have had a couple of chairs to sit outside and enjoy the view without having to go to the restaurant area.

Resort is a good name! We felt super relaxed arriving here. Are we in Asia or Africa? We lost track of time sitting at the swimming pool or in one of the hideouts near the river. What a fantastic garden and so well maintained. We got the chance to rent 3 super bicycles (MTB) and discovered the beautiful area. The friendly owners helped us to plan activities. Restaurant is very good, offering many choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Rooms are very clean and nicely decorated with a personal touch. Android tv was nice for Netflix. Good airco. Clean bathroom. Room was cleaned every day. Clean sheets. Thanks a lot for this fantastic place! We come back ... But dont know when :).

Nothing.

The room was clean and comfortable. The property was beautiful and the hosts were always working hard to keep it so nice. The hosts were really kind and had both bicycles and a motorbike to rent us. The value was really good, we were really excited our tight budget could allow us to stay in the countryside. We were really grateful for the bottled water given to us daily! Something to keep in mind, there is a key deposit for 300b. We didn’t go to the atm before arriving so keep some extra cash on you for the deposit.

Transportation to and from the property was the most difficult to figure out. We took a grab taxi to the property for 500b. Leaving, grab doesn’t have drivers in the area. We had to walk 20 min to the closest busy road, flag down a tuktuk, and take the white pickup truck bus in Mae Taeng to Chiang Mai - whole trip 175b for two // but stressful. We were offered a ride from Riverside to Chiang Mai, but it was a bit expensive for us. Taking into account that it would be a private ride it wasn’t expensive in general, just for our budget specifically. We appreciated the offer though!

Didi and his staff were welcoming, generous and knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. And the resident bird kept us amused! Our bungalow was spacious and clean. The menu varied and tasty. We particularly liked the banana pancakes with honey for breakfast. Everything was good value for money, including the rental of bicycles which we used to get to Sri Lanna National Park. The garden is beautiful, and it's clear to see the love and attention it's given. Listening to all the birds sounds and watching the butterflies was wonderful. If you are looking for tranquility, and a place to absorb nature, this is the place to do it.

This is not a dislike, but as others have mentioned, the location is rural, so be mindful that getting to the Riverstay, or visiting tourist sights requires your own transport, or a private taxi booked in advance.

If you want to isolate yourself from people, stress, you've come to the right place. The first moment I arrived I felt 100% connected to the beautiful nature and silence and the river next to the room. I stayed there for three days, next time I come to Thailand I would stay a week or more. You can rent a motorbike there and reach the market, city, waterfall and other beautiful places. Just driving around and discovering the place without Google Maps is so much fun. The pool is very clean and big, the food is great and the price is good. If you have a special dish or request, they can prepare it for you. it's just fascinating how much effort and love the owner put in this place - well done DIDI and see you next year :)

The Internet is not the best but its fine... who want to come to such place, should turn off the phone anyway and enjoy the moment without phone and internet :)

I like the beauty of the garden and river which made me feel very relaxed and in touch with my nature side. I liked the staff and watching how they work and treat others kindly. In some ways I liked I was in a village area, and also did not like some of it as well.

I did not like that I was far away from the city (like 1.5 hrs away), not something I am used to, but it did open my eyes. That has nothing to do with the resort, but more of a personal preference.

A peaceful green oasis just outside a small village right by the river gives almost a jungle feeling. Very friendly and helpful owners. Great home cooked food which you will enjoy as there's not much to choose from locally. Good access to nearby nature attractions, if you have your own transport, although the hotel can also organize all day trips for you.

Beautiful garden with fish and hundreds of plants Air con works well Motorbike rental is offered. He has Honda Click bikes available and charged us 250 baht per day for them Bed is comfy Room big enough for 2 large suitcases Food is offered Host helped us to find the local taxi to Chiang Mai (100 baht per person) Host offered suggestions on where to visit nearby The locals in the town were very friendly Picture is from a nearby village to the East

The first time we flushed the toilet, ants came with the water. They didn't come back or cause us any issues though. Pool didn't look clean enough to swim in (maybe because it's off-peak season?) Shower ran a little bit colder than I like, but it's ok in hot weather
