Rarin Villas

The environment here is fantastic, offering a more private, resort-like feel compared to Anantara, which I stayed at before. You can't hear the noise from the old city night market here (you can hear it, and it's very loud, at Anantara). However, there are gecko noises, which can be quite disruptive. Both the service and environment are excellent, but the breakfast is absolutely terrible. Everything was incredibly unappetizing. It's the first time I've ever had Thai food this bad. We stayed two nights and tried every breakfast item, and every single one was awful.

Had a fantastic experience! The private environment and service were exceptional. My friends and I had a wonderful time. Will definitely stay here again if I get the chance to visit Chiang Mai.

This hotel was absolutely wonderful! It's not right in the city center, but we just took taxis everywhere, and Chiang Mai isn't that big anyway, so Grab (ride-hailing app) was super convenient. The service was incredibly thoughtful; we added the butler on WeChat, and they were always responsive to our requests. Housekeeping was also excellent and very thorough every day. The villa is two stories, with a king-sized bed downstairs and two twin beds upstairs, and there are three bathrooms in total. There's also a swimming pool and a small hot spring on the first floor. The minibar was entirely free and high-quality, with imported Evian, sodas, and beer replenished daily, plus various snacks and fruits. The ice cream was especially delicious! We stayed for four nights, mostly heading out in the mornings and relaxing at the hotel in the afternoons, which was perfect for a vacation. Breakfast was delivered to the villa every day with multiple options. It's worth mentioning that ordering food in the villa was both affordable and tasty. They also offered massages from a well-known chain, with complimentary pick-up and drop-off, just a few minutes away, and I think we even got a discount. We might just come back for another vacation if we get the chance!

Overall, a great experience. The design and privacy are top-notch, and the staff are incredibly friendly and professional. The only downside was the humidity, which was a minor flaw.

The environment is quite good, in a very quiet location. It's a bit far from the old town, but still within walking distance. Their chain spa hotel is right by the old town, and they offer a shuttle service that can pick you up and drop you off anytime. It's especially suitable for a family vacation.

There were red stains on the bath towels... The hygiene standards are worse than a hostel.
