The hotel is set in a stunning location on a large Naphon hill, offering amazing walks and a taste of local village life. The rooms, though spacious, could be fancier, especially for the price. The service was a bit mixed, with some staff encounters feeling less friendly or efficient. Dining was decent, but I expected more from a hotel of this caliber.

The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, offering a rustic charm that made the stay even more special. However, there were minor issues with noise from young children that could disrupt the experience.

My stay at Mai Chau Ecolodge was truly memorable. The rooms offered a wonderful view of the rice fields surrounding the lodge, and the paddy field view suites were large and beautifully decorated. The staff seemed genuinely happy to share their traditions and culture, making my experience even more special. However, I found the dining experience to be just okay, with buffet-style meals and not much variety. The location was stunning, overlooking the hills and rice paddies, but it did feel a bit touristic at times. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
