Joy's House & Tour

Great place to stay with friendly and helpful staff. The hotel also offers a lot of programmes and activities in Chiang Mai. Superb place to stay in a quiet place in Chiang Mai. Breakfast was fantastic. Suitable for big groups or families too.

I cannot say enough great things about this very special place to stay. The accommodations and property were perfect for us and our introduction to Thailand. We made ourselves at home in a luxury room. It was quite spacious, with a comfortable bed, good bathroom with hot water in the shower, and ample living space. The property had a very nice pool and other amenities to accommodate extended stays. We thoroughly enjoyed their onsite cooking class and massages. Best of all, we took advantage of their travel program to Chiang Rai and further north. Shout out to Doe for making it al happen and for patiently answering all my questions before we traveled and once we were there.

Joy's House is an oasis of sweet tranquility. The staff are genuinely hospitable. The grounds are gorgeous and well-tended. The property is a short 15-20 minutes into the heart of Chaing Mai. I also appreciated the a la carte food options available for lunch and dinner. I hope to return someday.

What a lovely place. Family run old style Thai home with wonderful ambiance and lots of greenery. The staff were so friendly and helpful and we loved being able to borrow bikes to explore the local area. The best breakfast in Thailand too. We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Joy’s House. We were fortunate enough to visit in the low season and had this wonderful place to ourselves. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to ensure you have everything you need. So peaceful and relaxing but not too far from old town. We had the family bungalow and it was perfect. It’s like staying at your sweet Thai grandmas home.the breakfast was delicious as were the dinners we had here.

My family and I stayed here during late December and through the New Year. It was genuinely one of the best places we've stayed during or years of travel. Not to sound too corny but it is an exudes warmth. Everyone is incredibly kind, accommodating, and interesting. Wonderful spacious rooms and incredible service. A great place to relax after a long day of hiking or site seeing. My young children absolutely adored exploring the grounds and hanging out with the folks who worked there. You cannot go wrong with this place. We plan to visit again at the end of the year.

We stayed at the property as a family of three with a two year old toddler in December. You feel very welcome in this family business. The pool offers a good place to cool off and is particularly suitable for small children. The whole complex is like a small, quiet oasis with cats and a dog and a kind grandmother and it's easy to relax. The pick-up service from the airport, the delivery service to the departure and the offer of hot meals in the evening were also very helpful. I can recommend Joys House to families who do not need luxury and are looking for simple and friendly accommodation.

I can't have imagined a more perfect stay for us while in Chiang Mai. I can't say I've ever found a more welcoming staff presence at a guesthouse than at Joy's House. Every single day we work up to a BOUNTY of amazing delicious fruits, home-made breads, fresh juices, and coffees. They go out of their way to make sure every one on their guests are taken care of and they will go out of their way to do so. We needed a taxi to Pai and they helped us arrange for one and wound up driving us themselves because we were getting charged too much by the cab drivers. They saved us a good amount of money. They were also flexible when we missed our flight to Kuala Lumpur and made it easy for us to extend and stay another night. They had a gym where I could keep up with Thai boxing on the days I couldn't make it to my training at Wildcat Muay Thai. And an amazing pool to lounge, read, socialize, and sunbathe by. There are SO many plants growing it feels like a sanctuary and a haven. They take very good care of their property. There are several affectionate and friends animal friends on the premises (a few cats and one dog), which as a cat lover was great. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. I felt a bit like I was staying in a palace in their luxury room.  And the food is SO delicious! We were able to order fresh watermelon juice any time we like as well as delicious pad Thai or curries all cooked fresh. Their fresh home-baked breads were especially delicious! We've been missing the service at Joy's House after leaving and continuing our adventures elsewhere. I wish I'd been able to take their cooking class, that's the only regret I've got! Do yourself a favor and book this place. You will not regret it. I can't recommend it enough. I would rebook in a heartbeat.

A hidden gem! We were welcomed into the family New Year’s Eve celebrations and felt part of the family. Very laid back and chilled place, which is a great departure from the normal hustle/bustle of Thailand. Not your “normal” hotel, with exceptional service the norm, the locally prepared food being truly delicious and the facilities all that a family would be looking for. We would highly recommend to anyone!
