Guest reviews for Riverside
"The location and gardens far exceeded our expectations. We had the largest cottage which has a bedroom and a front room. The best and most relaxing place we have been to in our 2 months of travel in SEA. Right on the river with a restaurant right on the rivers edge, with seating down by the river to drink a cold beer and enjoy the view. Highly recommend it if you're in to relaxation and beauty. Also a very very large pool."
"Hot water heater could have been a little warmer."
"Very nice and quiet location, away from traffic and right next to the river. At night you can hear frogs and cicadas."
"Far away from any means of communication, sometimes it was difficult to get a taxi and had to rely on our host to give us lifts. You can hire a scooter or a bicycle though."
"Charming place. Little bridges over streams, quirky architecture. Very nice Swiss owner, a long-time Thailand aficionado who has slowly built the resort up over decades, who knows everything about the area and always has good advice for day trips. Great location in a very magical part of Thailand. Lots of water, the river, the channels directing water to the fields, the enormous reservoir upstream. Magically misty in the mornings as the sun comes up over the fields. Dark skies at night, great to have a drink and ponder the stars. Loved it."

"This place is a hidden gem! We loved our stay and even extended by a day. Didi had bikes we could rent, which we did for two days to explore the country side. He suggested great places for coffee, temples and the national park. Great food in town and on the property. So many fish, butterflies and frogs live in the garden making it such a peaceful place to be in nature. We took a grab out to the resort from Chiang Mai, though could not get one back into the city. The owner helped us arrange a cab back to Chiang Mai. Consider booking a return trip on the app before you leave the city if using grab app. I could have spent weeks here, you will love it!"

"A piece of paradise just outside of Chiang Mai. Booked spontaneously the night before arriving, and could not have picked a better place to spend 2 nights. Lovely owner, was attentive and helpful."
"The water pressure of the shower head could be better."
"I like the beauty of the garden and river which made me feel very relaxed and in touch with my nature side. I liked the staff and watching how they work and treat others kindly. In some ways I liked I was in a village area, and also did not like some of it as well."
"I did not like that I was far away from the city (like 1.5 hrs away), not something I am used to, but it did open my eyes. That has nothing to do with the resort, but more of a personal preference."
"The room was clean and comfortable. The property was beautiful and the hosts were always working hard to keep it so nice. The hosts were really kind and had both bicycles and a motorbike to rent us. The value was really good, we were really excited our tight budget could allow us to stay in the countryside. We were really grateful for the bottled water given to us daily! Something to keep in mind, there is a key deposit for 300b. We didn’t go to the atm before arriving so keep some extra cash on you for the deposit."
"Transportation to and from the property was the most difficult to figure out. We took a grab taxi to the property for 500b. Leaving, grab doesn’t have drivers in the area. We had to walk 20 min to the closest busy road, flag down a tuktuk, and take the white pickup truck bus in Mae Taeng to Chiang Mai - whole trip 175b for two // but stressful. We were offered a ride from Riverside to Chiang Mai, but it was a bit expensive for us. Taking into account that it would be a private ride it wasn’t expensive in general, just for our budget specifically. We appreciated the offer though!"
"Helpful owner acted as an emergency taxi for us, which was very kind. Lovely gardens and pool. On-site restaurant was also good."
"The riverside rooms are wonderful, but there are also a few rooms that are adjacent to the road which aren't as nice because of their location."
"A wonderful garden. Relaxing atmosphere. Pool inside garden. Riverside spot with views. Not far from Chiang Mai and Sticky waterfall."
"Nothing"

"Hotel is right off the main road so close to a lot of restaurants and shops, solid 15 minute walk to the beach, and 5 minute walk to the bus stop. The room was clean and amenities were provided. The owner was kind and was limited in English but did her best."

"Per and Sirilak's apartment at Kamala Regent is lovely. Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and provided helpful information on request. Very clean, spacious and comfortable apartment and friendly people to deal with. Walking distance to just about everything under 1km. Some local coffee and restaurants within a 5 minute walk. On-site facilities such as pool, restaurant and gym very nice and clean. Security were happy to call a taxi for us when we weren't up for walking. We highly recommend and would absolutely stay again. Thank you for making our stay in Kamala memorable 💖"
