Chiang Dao Nest Reviews

We can fill this website with what we think, and include as many superlatives and as much PR waffle as possible, but what really matters is what our guests think. Please see below for links to reviews on other sites...
(Not all are positive, but I think by reading a good number of them you can get a reasonable overview of what to expect, and most are ok.
Please bear in mind that the vast majority of people that stay with us have enjoyed their stay but haven't written an online review about their experience.
We don't want people to have false impressions of what we offer so some of the negative reviews are useful for highlighting what to expect, and to correct some misconceptions.
We do take on board the criticisms, even though it is sometimes very difficult, whether they are about prices, food, service, owners attitude(!), etc.. Lack of a response from us to good and bad reviews on sites like Tripadvisor does not mean that we don't care, or that we are too arrogant to bother, we just choose not to respond to them in the public domain. If you would like us to respond to your comments, complaints / criticisms please contact us directly, thanks. )

"The guesthouse that put Chiang Dao on the map is a charming country retreat, with comfortable, bamboo weave bungalows, scattered around a gorgeous tropical garden with plenty of shady gazebos where you can kick back with a book. The award-winning restaurant here is worth the trip from Chiang Mai all by itself..."

"If you’ve spent some time in Northern Thailand, chances are you’ve heard whispers about a place called the Chiang Dao Nest. It’s in a small town in the Chiang Mai province and it’s actually two sister resorts less than 1km from each another. We say treat yourself to either the Nest 1 or Nest 2 when you have a long weekend to spare to relaxing and indulging in gourmet food...."

"Our destination for the weekend was The Nest, a hotel which people flock to for their delicious food and excellent service. Our plan? A weekend of doing absolutely nothing while relaxing in their resort premises...."

"We hadn’t left Chiang Mai for 4 or 5 weeks so were keen to get out of the city and celebrate in the surrounding mountainous countryside. Ideally staying at one of the many peaceful resorts found all over northern Thailand for some relaxation and a bit of walking. We didn’t want to pay too much but we wanted it to be special. After a bit of research, we found the perfect place – Chiang Dao Nest 2." More ...
"If anyone out there is ever in the Chiang Dao area, I highly recommend you stay at the Chiang Dao Nest. It's a mini resort and it is so so nice... The beds are super comfortable, the shower is hot, ... the staff are all very friendly and helpful, the food is fantastic, and the views......" More ...

"After a bit of searching around the middle of nowhere, we found ourselves at the Chiang Dao Nest, an adorable little restaurant-hotel with little bungalows. The Nest seemed to rise out of the woods like an oasis of delicious food." More ...

"Obviously, Chiang Dao Nest is situated in...Chiang Dao (translated "City of Stars"), and astoundingly, in this little country town in Northern Thailand, you'll be able to find some remarkable European food." More ...

"Chiang Dao Nest ... the perfect weekend getaway. So refreshing to be in a cooler climate! Chiang Dao Nest is a beautiful place to stay, ... There’s an excellent restaurant at Chiang Dao Nest 1 which specialises in gourmet Western food, and its sister accomodation Chiang Dao Nest 2 has a restaurant which specialises in Thai food." More ...
