Accommodation and facilities:
Mae Sa is for those on a budget. looking for something different. It is in the countryside outside Chiang Mai, situated in beautiful surroundings. Accomodation is basic but acceptable and the price is right. The food is ok although not as good as one would expect from a place that advertises itself as a cooking school. Apart from its spectacular setting Mae Sa offers numerous crafts on the premises - batik, ceramics, paper-making etc. We would recommend Mae Sa to anyone looking to explore northern Thailand from a tranquil rural setting on a modest budget.

Accommodation and facilities:
This hotel is a treasure. Hidden among beautiful flowers and an incredible working farm are inviting rustic cottages with wonderful views of the countryside. Crafts? no...an incredible art studio exists with working artists doing clay, papermaking and batik. The space is inspirational. You can take classes or just browse the artists at work. The staff is exceptional. They go out of their way to help you, have a great sense of humor and make you feel at home. You really get a feel for what life is like living in this environment. A driver is available on site to take you to any of the spots close by such as elephant rides, 5 star spas, orchids farms, art galleries and more. The relaxed calming atmosphere of Mae-Sa Valley is to experience the real Chiang Mai. We will definitely return for a longer stay at Mae Sa Valley!
Reservation service:
Very efficient. It was so great to have a pick up organized to take us to the hotel from the train station. Everything worked like clockwork. This is a great hotel.

Accommodation and facilities:
We were a bit dissapointed. We d expected more. The rooms were dated and dark. We were the only people on the resort so there was nothing to do. No cookeryclasses or anything else. The food in the restuarant is good and the people are very friendly. They even cleaned our rental car! The closes at 20.00 o clock. You can go on the internet but it is far too expensive!
The resort is very nice situated on a hill with nice gardens.
In compare to other hotels we booked with Sawadee.com this was not so good vallue for the money but oke.

Accommodation and facilities:
The staff were friendly and helpful. Our bungalow was clean and nicely decorated, and all supplies (bottled water, clean towels, etc.) were provided daily. The grounds of the resort were absolutely beautiful, with gardens, trees, and a stream running through. The pool looked very nice, but we didn t swim. Location is great for visiting the Maesa Elephant Camp (a must!), and the Queen Sikirit Botanic Gardens. The resort is a bit far from Chiang Mai, so transportation could be an issue. We paid about 150-200 baht per person to get rides up the mountain to the resort.
Reservation service:
Great.
