Detailed Reviews
We found this guesthouse as we drove along the road. It looked lovely and welcoming from the front and as soon as we stepped in and were greeted knew this is where we would stay for a couple of nights. The accomodation is basic (a large mattress on the floor) but the rooms were spacious and extremely clean. It was nice to have a lounge to chill out in with free tea and coffee. Our stay turned into about a week after my friend came down with a fever, however our host could not be more obliging and helped us with the hospital and made us feel relaxed. This was definately one of the nicest and most friendliest places we stayed during our 5 month trip. I would definately return. There are only three bedrooms, so I would definately recommend booking, we were just lucky as it was very low season and hardly any tourists when we visited.

We are a french couple and we really enjoyed our stay in this guesthouse. Very well located next to the lake, charming Hostel and most important lovely hosts. Jum took care of us during our stay and was very helpfull ( for fisherman who look for great local places and any details you need, i am sure she can help...:-)) )
Moreover, we got cooking course (3 dishes for only 300bahts) which afforded us to Share a very nice moment. I really recommend this place.

I can honestly say during our stay here we've received the best hospitality in Thailand so far. The lady who runs the guesthouse, Jum, is the loveliest lady we've met and she took great care of us. We were welcomed with the best banana smoothie ever, did a cooking class with Jum and Mu (300B) and shared lovely meals with Jum and other guests on few occasions.
After spending a week there, we fully understand why some people call her Mama. :)
The guesthouse itself, opened in May, is a teak house, located at the back of the lake (a mere 3 min walk) with 3 double rooms with shared bathroom (300B) and 1 bungalow with a private bathroom (500B). Rooms are spacious and clean equipped with powerful fans. Good wi-fi available throughout the property.
Breakfast is included- choice of Thai or sweet buns. Coffee and tea are available for free throughout the day. There is a fridge with additional items such as water, milk and beer so it saves you walking to the shop. There also is a smoothie stand where you can get the best and healthiest smoothies in town.
Laundry service (30B) and bicycle rental are available onsite, for motorbike rental I recommend PJ's (great service, lovely owner, good bikes- 150B for an automatic), located fairly close by- ask at the guesthouse.
Airport/ bus station pick up and drop off can also be arranged (40 per person).
The common area is kept very tidy. No queues to the bathroom due to the fact there are not many rooms..
Due to the limited number of rooms, I'd recommend to book: call Jum on 080 499 1975 (Jum speaks very good English).
Highly recommended!

When I arrived in Mae Hong Son, I was a bit disoriented from nearly two days of travel, but Jum from Baan Mai Guesthouse picked me up and brought me back to the guesthouse and immediately made me feel right at home! The rooms are outfitted with the bare essentials: an overhead light, a fan, and a basic mat as the mattress. What the hotel lacks in amenities is makes up for ten-fold in hospitality. Jum and her husband No are genuinely kind-hearted people who run not only the guesthouse, but also a restaurant on the main street in town. Despite being busy, they make sure every guest is well taken care of. They helped me plan out my adventures in Mae Hong Son, texted me to keep me up to date on events in town (there were three festivals when I visited), always had a nice breakfast set up in the morning, etc. Even after I arrived home, Jum messaged me asking how she could send me a pair of shoes I had left behind. As I live in Bangkok and will be visiting MHS again, I know I will be staying with them. I highly recommend their guesthouse (as long as more modern amenities are not a top priority for you).

I followed the reviews here and I'm glad I did! The guesthouse owner was really welcoming, the house made me feel at home and I had the feeling I was leaving too soon! The guesthouse is rustic and above all, very clean! The cat may befriend you easily too!

We found this guest house occasionally, just stopped on the road to check the directions, but it was our fortune! The energies of this place are so good and relaxing that we even prolonged our stay in Mae Hong Son. Thank you Jum for your warm hospitality! Everything was great: good location in the city center near a lake and night market, super clean rooms and bathrooms, tea, coffee during a day for free, delicious breakfast included and banana shake as a welcome drink:) also the hand drawn map of local attractions is genious!

We planned to stay 2 nights, finally we stayed 5 nights. This guesthouse offers extremely great value for the rate (300 bath for a double room) we paid. The most interesting aspect of the place is the backpacker friendly concept promoted by the owner Ms. Jum. The common area offers lots of free facilities for the customers, such as high speed wifi internet, coffee, tea, fruits, bread, butter, jam, drinks, soups, welcome juices, branded shampoos, soaps, detergents, TV etc. etc. Other services are offered at normal market prices (not at usual cheating rates as it happens in other places) such as laundry, bike-taxi, cooking classes. Rooms, common bathrooms and shower are EXTREMELY CLEAN and above average even for Thai standards. No pressure of any kind for the guests, as it usually happens in the Asian backpacker guest house market. Highly recommended for long term travelers.

The people who run this small guesthouse are extremely friendly. The rooms and the shared shower and toilet are very clean. They provide a nice little breakfast and coffee and tea are available all day. Excellent value and location. This will surely be one of our favorite stays on our trip.

We stayed at this wonderful place because of all the great reviews. Jum, the owner fully lived up to all our expectations and MORE! She was lovely and sweet and kind and full of great local suggestions.
Upon arrival she gave us an unexpected large plate of fruit. She told us of a local festival. She suggested a tasty local restaurant.
She had a delightful and fun spirit!
Look no further.
