We’ve stayed here twice over the years. It’s a great little resort in the heart of Mae Hong Son. Comfortable beds, nice hot water, a lovely pool and right next to the lake and night markets. The staff are wonderful and Khun Sujanya (who registers you and briefs you on the resort and environs) is most helpful, informative and courteous.

Piya Guesthouse was an unexpected gem of an oasis is MHS. The Bungalows are well appointee, spacious and private. They are set around a beautiful garden with swimming pool at its center.

The Bungalows are large inside with a comfortable bed and nice furniture. The bathroom is tsha style, clean, and large.

The garden has all sorts of trees and flowers and is well cared for. The first thing you notice is the strong and pleasant fragrence of Jasmine flowers.


There is ample parking in a safe little lot that they secure at night.

Ideally situated across from a tranquil and idyllic small lake with a fascinating temple. Great for evoking calm. Good place to walk around. Restaurants and a little night market are close.
The guesthouse is a tremendous value. Small bungalows are nestled around a nice pool with jacuzzi jets.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
There’s free coffee and tea all day/night.
The rooms themselves had everything you’d need: comfy bed, clean nice bathroom and shower. Only drawback was a bit spotty WiFi at times.

The only guesthouse is really by the lake, great location to explore Mae Hong Son, I have morning power walk around the lake, walk up to the Wat Phrathat Doi Kongmu to see the misty valley, walk to the daily local food market and Saturday food market.....yes, everything within walking distance even the airport can be reached in 12 minutes.

They got a nice pool, beautiful tropical garden and a lot of sitting area inside the property, the pool even got jacuzzzi which is great for a dip after a long day under the summer sun. Just opposite the guesthouse you can find some good restaurants.

They can arrange breakfast with a charge but have to pre-order one day ahead. Free fresh ground coffee is available with hot / cold drinking water all day in the pantry. Coin laundry is also available. Mae Hong Son is a lay back town and this is a quite guesthouse which guarantee a good night sleep.....I stayed there for 10 days and I have no complains at all, thanks for the lovely family .

Perfect location in town center right on lake. Nice, clean, little tiled pool. Super cold AC and super hot shower water heater. Nice, clean renovated bathroom. What i did not was: one of two pillows rock hard which prevented me from getting sound sleep; and the window curtains were old and somewhat sheer which did not provide privacy at night.

When we arrived they told us our booking was in 2 weeks. By accident we had booked the wrong dates. We asked if they would let us stay that evening instead. They told us they were full. So we went elsewhere. We called Expedia to cancel our incorrect booking and they said they could only refund if Piya would agree.
We went back to the hotel to discuss this with them and noticed a couple checking in so got to chatting with them and they told us they were just checking in as they drove by and thought it looked nice. We were shocked!
We confronted the owner, how could this new couple get a room in a FULL hotel?
The owner of Piya hotel, knew she was lying to us earlier, when she said they were full and had every intention of just keeping our money! After standing our ground and demanding our money back, the owner offered 1/2 our money back.

Lovely stay in such peacefull area with so kind we

Very very kind welcome. We've choosed to take breakfirst and it was excellent (can include waffle), and served in front of the hotel, with beautiful view on the lake and the temple.
Using the swimming pool in such nice and peacefull garden was wonderful.
We've really enjoyed so much our stay here! Thank you again at the Hotel staff.

Important notice: avoid to call for the mountain trake guide for which appealing advertisement can be find in the rooms (Mr La): everything was set ok for a wonderful trake. But following a litle misunderstanding about meeting point when he's decided to move his car to another parking location, he's became very hungry against us, and has decided to cancel the Trek and bring us back to the city (giving us money back, but letting us very dissapointed).
Moreover, he told us he has particularly bad general feeling against French: it's better for him to solve his problem first, before proposing to bring again tourists in the jungle.

Mediocre accommodation, great location

This guesthouse is in a great location right on the lake and next to the nightly market, but leaves a bit to be desired in terms of accommodations. The walls are somewhat thin so you can hear your neighbor if they’re making noise past quiet hours. The shower is attached to a hot water heater that turns on when the shower turns on - it actually heats the water pretty quickly, but you have to keep the pressure very low in order to keep the water hot. There were dead ants all over the bathroom our second night/morning. There’s a rooster that starts crowing quite early in the morning - nothing the hotel can do about that, but just something to be aware of if you’re a light sleeper. Overall, serviceable if you’re just looking for a place to rest your head, but nothing special.
