Cheap hotels in Mae Salong

Excellent views. Great team of people.

Staying at this tented resort has been one of the most amazing experiences we’ve ever had. Everything here is incredibly well thought out, from the stunningly designed accommodations to the impeccable hospitality. The rooms are beautifully decorated with tasteful furniture, creating a luxurious yet cozy atmosphere. The beds are extremely comfortable, and every detail, from the amenities to the overall design, has been crafted to perfection. The quality of the tents is exceptional—completely secure and well-sealed, meaning we didn’t encounter a single insect inside. What really sets this place apart, however, is the staff. We have never been welcomed with such warmth and genuine friendliness. They went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, always ready to assist with any request. Their attention to detail, especially regarding food allergies, was remarkable—they really walked the extra mile to ensure we had safe and delicious meals. The team was always cheerful, smiling, and incredibly kind to our baby, making us feel like part of a family rather than just guests. The resort offers a variety of activities, making it an ideal place for nature lovers and adventurers. There are multiple guided hikes where a knowledgeable staff member accompanies you, sharing insights about the surrounding villages, mountains, rice fields, and local traditions. It’s an immersive experience, far from anything overly touristy. This place feels like a sanctuary—peaceful, authentic, and deeply connected to nature. The food is outstanding—healthy, fresh, and mostly organic. Many of the ingredients are homegrown, including the salads and spices, adding an extra touch of authenticity to every meal. In the evenings, the open-air cinema with a bonfire creates a magical atmosphere. This resort is a hidden paradise, and we cannot wait to return.

I was very impressed with this stay as I got best deal as to upgrade to bigger Villa which accommodate 3 people to stay. The Villa was very big and well equipped with things like Android TV, Microwave, Fridge and Cattle. The bed was so comfy and bathroom was so big, nice and clean. The highlight was breakfast which I have to travel just a bit up to the hill to Katiliya Mountain Resort and Spa, the BF was amazing which there is full of food in the buffet line. So that I will come back here again next year.

Simon, the host is perfect! Very helpful and interesting to talk to. His house is very special. Nice, clean and in the middle of nature! We had a lovely time.

Bura Resort is an absolute slice of paradise, attuned to nature and attuned to Guests. Hosts Jazz & Nui have created something very special, with beautifully-crafted private Villas privately spread around the meandering, magnificent, quiet waterfall property. Birdsong and joy and pleasantness every moment, everywhere you look! On the practical side: I was in Villa A2 which featured a deep bathtub in the large bathroom in addition to the amazing rainshower; a large desk perfect for the needs of my work-while-travelling; lovely comfortable lounge area; big bed; useful amenities; and a gorgeous patio beside the water. The daily Housekeeping was thorough. The on-site restaurant offers a broad menu for foreigners and Thai's, with choice of fabulous dining room or in-room dining options. Hosts Jazz & Nui provided a free shuttle when asked to the closest daily food market, and to a Tuesday night food market bazaar. They were also happy to help me get to the chilled city area too, at the same cost as a typical Thai taxi app. Airport pick-up and drop-off was hassle-free. There's authentic street-food a short walk downhill, and a café with heavenly views just uphill. I live in Bangkok full-time, and Bura Resort in Chiang Rai is my new escape! Can't wait to return. Very highly recommended.

I stayed only one night in the mobil home but I would love to stay more. The host is really welcoming. The little mobil home is really good organised, cute and with a rice field view. I was able to spend few hours outside in the middle of the rice field, absolutely beautiful. He gave me a bike to go around. The host also invited me to eat dinner (so delicious) with them and I had a really good time. He is really helpful and have good recommandations for activities around. I also recommend to rent a scooter and go around to nature, villages… If you want to see the real Thailand, don’t hesitate to come here! Thanks again!

The location is amazing and the rooms are lovely.

Good clean room and friendly staff, Thai food available from restaurant and cold beer for sale 1km up the road perfect
