• As others have said...

  As others have said: - Rooms are 300/400/500 Baht - it's a good 10 minute walk from town - the daughter is great and does a very unfair share of the work (as well as cooking, reception and all PR she also does the laundry) - gates are closed at night, I think it's 11pm - nice quiet location (unless you're near the car park when they decide to repeatedly crank up the diesel mini-bus at 6am...) Toilet paper was the only consumable provided (no soap, shampoo, drinking water) and the room was not serviced at all during my stay. I found the food very good, but beware - there could be green chillis mixed in with the green beans! (we had a laugh about that one) I think the cabins are all the same, price varies according to location. Mine was comfortable, but if you leave anything valuable in the room be sure to bolt all 4 shutters closed as otherwise there is only flywire for security. Also there is no real safe-keeping at reception, and nothing secure in the cabin to lock things onto.

• Mixed Review

  the shared showers in the 200baht rooms no longer have hot water. The gaz hot water showers have been disconnected. There was no food available in the restaurant. The older lady and her daughter's husband, are both unhelpful and impolite (i speak Thai). The daughter is helpful and i felt that she was embarrassed. There is a very old sign over the main gate that is no longer readable. It mentions that the gates will be locked at an unreadable time and they wont be opened for any reason. I was told its mid-night. Just be careful if u plan to come back late. The location is perfect but don't expect 'service with a smile'

• i liked it

  it was cheap, 200b for a clean simple room. the shower was kind of outdoors but very warm(ahhhh gas water heaters). the girl was helpful and nice. i'll prob stay here again. i had read good reviews and wanted to stay here but couldn't find directions or a map of Mae Sae for the life of me. for anyone that wants to go; directions to Mae Sai Guesthouse, from the bus station take the seung thaew for 10b all the way to the border gate. go to the left or the gate and into the long shopping street that goes left. its about a 10 walk. there are a few forks, keep going right. after a few minutes you see signs.

• Great budget choice

  The young lady who does most everything from showing you the bungalows to dishing up your chow, is very friendly and service-oriented. We ate all our meals there and though the food wasn't cordon-bleu stuff, we were satisfied with what we ordered. The reason my rating's a bit low is because of an ugly incident that completely freaked us and kept us up all night. My partner and I were in bed, talking at about 11pm when I happened to notice a person peeping into our window. He assumed we couldn't see him and was, I suspect, trying to get an eyeful of action (that wasn't available in our case). He only ran when we shouted at him. A talk with the owner the next morning revealed that it could only have been the security guard!!! So much for keeping the place safe! Couples, be sure to close all windows, especially those right on the porch.

• Cute spot

  This spot is really cute. Stayed in the bungalow right on the river. Had to pay 500bt. A bit of a walk into town, but great riverside location, friendly and helpful staff. Very basic, small, fan room w/ great porch. Would stay again and recommend if budget is not too tight.
