Accommodation and facilities:
A beautiful location, delightful gardens, pleasant staff, a detached bungalow with a large bedroom, rustic furniture. Potentially a 10 ! BUT no fridge, no coffee making facilities, very hard Thai mattresses, no hot water on the handbasin for shaving, no hairdryer. All that one would expect from a 700Baht per night Thai resort.......but Fern charge double that off season! This could be a 10 with more thought for customer comfort. We would NOT stay again until they change the mattresses and add a fridge.
Reservation service:
Excellent as always with Sawadee

Really exquisite and fascinating pet-friendly resort in the lap of nature, yet clean, comfortable and cozy! We traveled with our pet dog from BKK, and he liked the place as well, and the guide dogs of the Resort - Khun Singtoh and Khun Nuengning. The resort staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Sawasdee.com was not aware initially that this is a pet-friendly place.

Accommodation and facilities:
Very nice Hotel, clean rooms and beautiful surroundings. Perfect for nature fans. 2km off the main road and 6 km from Mae Hong Song. Very friendly and helpful staff, food was ok as well. We missed the Minibar and the Water cooker or coffee making facility, because we traveled with a young child and needed to keep some drinks cold or heat up some water for milk or a coffee early in the morning. The restaurant provided us with hot water, so that was ok, but can t keep drinks cool in the room. No telephone or TV in the room and no connection with the mobile phone either, but that was ok since we had a holiday. Listen to birds and the water flowing along the resort was very relaxing. The only minus point was the missing opportunity to eat in the room, using the room service. The restaurant does not deliver food to the room. As we traveled with a young child dining in the room would be more convenient, as sitting in the restaurant where the child is running around and you can t enjoy your dinner. After all, I would definitely recommend this hotel and we going back someday for sure.

As always very fast, helpful and without any problems.

Accommodation and facilities:
Nice ambient in the mid of the mountain.
However, no mobile signal in room and around the resort, no TV.
Room is not ok - shower is terrible as hot water is not working. Bathroom is smelly all the time. No land-line phone in room and no mobile signal. When you require anything you have to walk all the way to front office.
Next time in Mae Hong Song I would rather try a better place.

Accommodation and facilities:
Our large bungalow was very nice with our nearest neighbor almost out of sight. The only downside in our suite was no T.V. (not really missed), No Phone and No Complimentary Daily Coffee (which I sorely missed).
Other than the above I was very happy with Fern Resort. BTW the scenery was beautiful!
Reservation service:
Very helpful...as we ad a misunderstanding on our travel dates.

Accommodation and facilities:
A very beautiful place. But very far from town. A nice walk around, but nothing else. A good restaurant in a very peaceful atmosphere at night. Except one grumpy boss at the cashier, a rather pleasant staff. Choose the room close to the rice paddies they are better and newer.
Reservation service:
the booking good as usual, efficient.

Like a paradise on earth, the setting is unique, everything nice and clean - the staff meets your every need even in this country setting without t.v. and other distractions. We stayed in a room in which Brad and Jolie s stayed couple of month s earlier - no kidding - we saw the pix! Monies here go to help the local population, many are refugees - so a win-win all around!
