I really struggled with what to say with this review as the lady who runs these bungalows seems very nice, however this site is about overall accommodation experience, so here it goes... My husband and i checked into this hotel for three nights. we were drawn to this place because it seemed very peaceful, off the beaten track and very serene from the photos and description online. It was far from it. We were on the main rod into Pai, so we heard motorbikes all through the night. There was also a couple dogs on the property that barked around 6 am every morning as well as a lawn mower (?) that was being used by the property over at 7am. Didn't make for the three nights of tranquility we thought we were in for. The main problem with our stay was the bugs. We are used to "roughing it" and can be very tolerant of bugs and spiders, but this was a whole different ball game.
I got up in the middle of the night to use the washroom and I think I may have nightmares about the ants crawling on me, for years. There were also spiders the size of small birds, slugs and of course mosquitoes. the property cats would also come in and out of our bungalows, we even came in one day to one sleeping on our bed. not good for allergy sufferers.

If we would have been paying a cheap price, we would have understood, but there were HOTEL rooms in town, including breakfast for 700 baht, and we were being charged 1200. when we asked to check out after the first sleepless, bug filled night (even with 24 hours notice) the answer was no, we would have to pay for our whole stay or brave the ants for two more nights.
Needless to say we don't throw money away, so we stayed. we had to hose the toilet down every time we needed to use it, we both got multiple spider bites, woke up to bugs in our bed, invading our backpacks ect.
Again, the lady was nice, the breakfast was great but over all price and accommodation, was a disappointment.More
