  “ very nice and clean. Lockers are provided next to reception. Unfortunately out of 4 showers only 1 was usuable. Luckily it was a quiet weekend. Tours are offered at a better price than in town. ”

  “ Very nice place. Rooms are reasonably basic (showers and toilets outside for dorms) but comfortable and clean. Owner very nice and helpful. Free internet and tea, coffee and toast was good although there was no free fruit. Location could be better - not right in the main guesthouse area - but... ”

  “ Lots of hostel I stayed. This one is the best one. The owner (lady) is very nice one. The hostel, its location is near the walking street and night blazer. But it locates at a quiet place. Walking from the local bus station is just about 10 mins(just from the bus station to north and west).

  “ This is a decent hostel in a quiet location. The rooms are very clean but the occasinal lizard will sneek in so be aware of that. Lots of mosquitoes so if you hang out side at all cover up and put on bug spray. A bit removed from the action but there are some places to eat near by. If your... more looking to chill out this is your spot. A bonus would be if accepted credit cards. When your cash flow is running low it is helpful. All in all a good stay and friendly staff. close ”

  “ While it does have a lovely garden, clean enough rooms, the internet, toast, and coffee is all good... the mosquitoes are terrible!! They do get inside the rooms, so although its not the hostel's fault, I wouldn't stay and get eaten alive again. ”

  “ If you're okay with an occasional lizard in your room and bringing lots of mozzie spray, this place is a gem. It is a bit out of the way, but an easy walk/tuk tuk ride brings you to an incredible garden resort. Staff is very friendly and the common area is great! ”

  “ Excellent place to chill out, relax and enjoy Chiang Mai. The best common area of anywhere I've stayed. All outdoors, half covered and half not. Plenty of space. Staff were absolutley wonderful and helpful and so nice! Everything nice and clean. Free toast and tea/coffee all day were good.... more good. Nice big dorm rooms. Stayed longer I liked it so much close ”

  “ What a superb find, although a little out of the way, it provided everything you could possibly want for an excellent stay in Chaing Mai. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were very clean with separate wc and showers. Free wifi was available and they even provided computers for... more for guests to use. They also offered free tea, coffee and toast. This was especially good for us as we had two small children, who didn't always eat when you wanted them to. close ”

  “ We enjoyed Gongkaew. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the facilities were generous (free internet/ coffee/ tea/ toast). We enjoyed being away from the party scene, as this is not why we came to Chiang Mai. The staff were very helpful in telling us the best (and cheapest) ways to do/ see... more see what we wanted to- and they also called on our behalf to make bookings. Our one concern that we were not given a very friendly goodbye, and this made us feel as though we were no longer valued customers. close ”

  “ Best hostel I have stayed in. It is Spacious, clean, peaceful and welcoming. Fun wise, like everywhere, dependant on occupants, but it has a wonderful outdoor social lounge area. I highly recommend this hostel as the pin-point on the map of Chiang Mai to direct your traveling from. Staff... more Staff are simply lovely, free fruit dangling from several trees, toliet and shower facilities as good as can be expected - more than adequate, and free toast and coffee all day long. We stayed two extra nights. close ”

  “ A beautiful hostel set in peaceful gardens just far enough away from the normal tourist hub to make it relaxing and different. An easy walk to the centre of old town, night bizarre etc, or cheap tuk tuk ride if perfered. Staff are truly fantastic! All you can eat bananas from garden trees.... more Outdoor patio with lots of huge armchairs to sit and chat with other travelers if you want to socialise. Absolutely awesome! close ”

  “ Another fantastic Thai hostel! What sets this apart, though, is the amazing garden area. Lots of flowers, plants and trees, benches and sitting areas all around. A day of solitude is easy to achieve, but the main common area is also ideal for socializing. Truly a resort feeling; it looks like the... more like the "others" camp in LOST. ;) Only lockers by reception, but locked rooms and quiet area anyway. Free coffee & toast 24/7! WiFi everywhere. I'd LIVE here. close ”

  “ Due to flight delays I unfortunately never made it to Gongkaew however I did my best to keep them updated on my situation, having missed my first nights booking I on the second day email them and cancelled the rest of my intended stay. The hostel has the right to debited your visa to the balance... more balance of the first nights cost, I was never billed for the late cancellation. I can only assume that they are very honest and understanding people, I will stay with them on my next attempt to northern Thailand close ”

  “ This place is fabulous. Great location. I rented a bike for 50 baht and saw the city that way. Staff is very helpful, the grounds are beautiful, wonderful little details like cute tiled floors and coy fish next to the free internet. The hang out area with a flowing fountain as the background... more background noise is awesome, free toast, coffee. They picked me up for free at the train station. The best shower I've had on this trip. Lots of space to do yoga, seems to attract awesome guests. close ”

  “ Not near anything, staff are nice but didn't go out of their way to do much more than greet you initially. They kept coming in and opening our windows in our room during the day leaving them wide open so anyone can crawl in as the windows are big and ground level. Didn't feel that my stuff was... more was safe when they did that. The walls were PAPER THIN even though the cabins appeared to be made of brick? You could hear the other people breathing, sneezing, everything. It was gross. close ”
