Owner is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included. We got the 1000B wooden hut room. Room is decently good. We request for an extra mattress to sleep separately from my good friend. They are happy to provide. There is a nice campfire setting. The surroundings is beautifully decorated with flowers. Will come back again.

Such a good place to make a stop! Hidden gems in this village. Blossom cottages with balcony. A beautiful Homestay with Hot shower available. The best ever for 9c temperature! Good coffee, good food, drinks with reasonable price and friendly service by locals.

We were SO in love with this place. The huts to stay in were cozy, clean and comfortable, the family running the place extremely friendly, the food delicious and the coffee amazing. The little village was filled with good vibes and good coffee - we will definitely recommend this place to all our friends visiting that area. Thank you so much

Stayed here for a night. The room was very affordable. It was spacious, with a huge king bed. There was also a porch of sorts, where you could sit and chill the night. The complex itself was beautifully decorated, there was quite a lot of flowers despite it not being cherry blossom season. Food was pretty good, the coffee was great too. Owners were really nice, and there are some kids running around sometimes. I was in a Vietnamese Hmong homestay a couple of months back before this, so it was definitely interesting experiencing a different Hmong tribe's life. Maybe only problem was that the shower in my toilet was not working so I had to bathe in cold water, which wasn't too much of a problem I guess. Definitely recommend to come here to get away from the hustle and bustle.

What a surprise to find such a gem in a mountain village. We felt very welcome and got really good coffee that had a delicate, elegant flavor and was home grown. We found it so special to experience so much coffee passion in the middle of nowhere. And it is only one hour from Chiangmai.

I booked the homestay on their Facebook page, room with BF and coffee. The Barung cafe is managed by local family here. Nice coffee and the garden that you wont miss it!!
