Planned to stay 4 days, ended up staying 7. Wonderful location at the foot of Doi Chiang Dao, the staff were very friendly and helpful. One of the staff took me and my girlfriend up Doi Chiang Dao, which is really worth the fairly arduous trek. Would definitely go back, they even have a pool to cool off in after... More

I spent one night in March in Malee's Nature Lovers Bungalows. Bungalows are very clean, set in a beautiful garden. The lady owner is very nice and helpful. There is a mini swimming pool. The veranda for dinner (with excellent and cheap Thai food) is very cosy and inviting. I am planning to go back and stay few days there,... More

If you are looking for a peaceful, friendly and relaxing place to lay back or to explore the surrounding Chiang Dao mountains (a wonderful nature spot with great hikes), do not hesitate one second and book a night at Malee's bungalows (actually, at least 2 nights to fully appreciate the place). Malee knows everything about the area and will give... More

I have stayed at Malee's several times, most recently in February 2012, and have always enjoyed Malee's, Malee, and Chiang Dao. The most recent trip I stayed in a shared-bath room instead of a bungalow. It was very basic and exactly what I needed. I could not have been more pleased.

As birdwatchers we are keen to be in the countryside and that is exactly where Malee's is - set in a deep valley with beautiful gardens and mountains surrounding. There is so much to do - visiting the calm and peaceful temple and grounds up the road; the famous Chiang Dao cave; walks up the mountains; birdwatching at DYK; taking... More

Malee's is set in the shadow of Doi Chiang Dao and as such it's a very convenient place to stay. It's about a fifteen minute motorbike ride to the small town of Chiang Dao and you'll need one or a car because there is no reliable tuk tuk service. The food is generally quite good in the restaurant of this... More

A genuinely warm, friendly place, Malee's is always like staying at a friend's house. I live in Chiang Mai so make this trek regularly and while next door's Nest resort is undoubtedly more fancy, the atmosphere at Malee's has me wanting to come back and come back ... that and their adorable dogs which will soon make you feel like...

I so enjoyed staying with Malee for an entire week this early November. The food was excellent and the proximity to so many of the nature things I wanted to do was perfect! The staff was so helpful with picking the hikes I wanted to do, getting someone to come to give massage, renting a scooter and where to go... More

Overall, the staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds are very nice and it is easy to walk to the area's attractions. As another review pointed out, the bungalows are a bit tired and not good value. We wished that the charm of the restaurant extended to the bungalows. Unless you plan to pay for the honeymoon bungalow, the regular... More
