!!! - don’t book any tours with “mama” - she’s trying to rip you off! We booked a 5 hour high rope course and got 1 hour of ziplining. We talked to the people of the zipline area and they couldn’t give us any information and told us we have to talk to the agency we booked with. We went back to Jay Guesthouse so we could discuss the problem with “mama” but she was fake friendly and not willing to admit that she did something wrong. We didn’t get any of our money back neither did we get an apology - just a rip off.

White river rafting was a great time and Jay was a fantastic host. Def recommend seeing Jay if you want a great price and great value.

Mama is amazing warm hearted person, she helped us with everything and treated us like her kids. If you travel in Chiang Mai and wants to feel like at home, need some help or whatever, that's is the right place ????

I loved staying here.
Mama is so loving and welcoming. I became good friends with the dog too.
If you don't mind basic accommodation, you won't mind staying here.
Bring your own towel and toilet paper. You shouldn't expect these to be provided for the price you pay.
This will be my choice every time I stay in Chiang Mai.
Thank you Mama, Papa and dog. My stay was pretty cool. Wish I could stay longer .
Big kisses Mama!!!!! XXXX

The worst hostel I've been to!

Disgusting.

Hygiene zero, staff very impolite and unfriendly. Impossible to communicate in a civilized way with the owner, so called "mama".
In a lifetime of backpacking I have never experienced anything like that.

As soon as the owner saw us she started to call me and my girlfriend "darling".
The hallway smelled like rancid cheese.
When we entered the room there were no towels, no trash can and no fan even though all of them were listed in my reservation.
My partner and I went to the owner reporting the situation. After been verbally attacked they gave us 1 single filthy towel for the both of us and put a fan in the room.
We went out and when got back to the room we realised they had changed the fan while we were not in the room and doing that someone stepped on our bed linen and pillows, leaving footprints of mud on both.

Do yourself a favour. Just don't go there.

The most love you'll find in Chiang Mai for 80B/night (mixed dorms). My friend and I stayed there many nights, and would stay again!

Cold beer, good food, great people!

If you're looking for perfection, take your money to a resort. If you're looking for a really cheap room, and the love of some locals with great knowledge of the country...stay at Jay's Guesthouse w/ Mama and Papa!

The lady owner is artificially nice and kind meaning that she is a very rude and impolite human being in general. We booked a room on agoda but when we arrived at the hostel, she refused to accept us saying she have no accomodation for us. She said she does not work with agoda and we can go away. From the opinion of other people this hostel is like a prison as there are signs inside forbidding you doing almost everything except being quiet and sleeping. On top of that she tries to rip people off money even though she have clear signs of prices.
