“Worth it cheap place”
+It’s a very basic room to stay in. It was clean and the lady who manages the property was very nice and attentive. The outdoor area is a good place to chill. For what you pay is good, but I have the feeling it could be better.
−The power was on and off, kind of open toilet, too many bugs.

“Relaxing”
+Really liked our stay! Short walk from town but nice because it’s in a calm area. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the owner was very sweet.

“Very chill”
+I love the communal area! The bamboo structures, hangmats, three tables with plenty of chairs and a public library with a ton of good books. The free coffee is great, and the free water saved me at least 200 baht (two weeks of 7 eleven water). The dorm is super spacious, and you have a lot of privacy due to the big cabinets surrounding the beds. The bed is comfortable and big. And there is a mosquito net which works well to block most creepy crawlers. I really recommend a scooter for the location. The centre is walkable, but at night all the dogs turn into aggressive werewolfs. This is everywhere in Pai so there's nothing the hostel can do about it. You're always safe (from dogs) on a scooter :) The vibe is really good at the Chilling Hill. Of course it depends on who else is staying, but the chilling area really makes it feel like a second home. There's also a great spot to watch the sunset. As well as a fireplace which brings a great social experience when lit.
−I like geckos, but there's a lot! If you don't like the noises they make you're gonna have a rough time (maybe all over Pai?). They infiltrate the dorms too...

“Chill on a hill :)”
+Chilling Hill has a lovely atmosphere. Quiet and peaceful due to its distance from Pai’s centre. Very friendly kittens were there during both my stays. Ultimately spent over a week at this property and I am glad I did. Free coffee, tea and drinking water is available. Staff are very friendly. The seating area in the garden particularly the upstairs section is a great place to read, write and meditate.
−Wasn’t an issue for me as I knew people staying elsewhere in Pai but this is not a particularly social place to stay so if friendship is at the top of your list I’d recommend staying somewhere else. The location for me was a positive as I had a scooter for the duration I was there and it allowed me some peace and quiet but to do the 15-20 minute walk to Pai walking street every time would of been a little tedious.

“Exceptional”
+The people who run this hostel are so kind and helpful. I had an amazing time staying at this hostel. I loved that it was outside of the main part of town, because it felt like it was slightly more secluded and quiet, and the animals in the morning were wonderful to wake up to.

“It was not the best fit for me because I’m a solo female traveler and I don’t smoke pot so I saw everything in a differe”
+Not sure what to say.
−I was sold one private bungalow, but got a completely different one. DEFINITELY not what was in the pictures. Had to keep my things on the floor and since I’d paid more for a private room I was not happy about the ‘DIY/build-it-yourself’ experience I received at all. And the location is good IF you have a scooter, but not if you’re traveling solo and aren’t in the mood to walk uphill in ridiculous heat (or adventurous/silly enough to cycle in the are).
