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.

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.

Fern Resort
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.
Reservation service:
As always very fast, helpful and without any problems.

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.

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!

The place is wonderful and the staff so nice. This was our first night in the region of Mae Hong Son and we could not have been more enchanted. The suite room with the little patio next to the river was a divine place to rest. The garden is such a lush place and being guided by dogs for a small trek was very special and memorable. The free transfer to town makes this an ideal place to rest and to discover the region.

Fern Resort
Accommodation and facilities:
Fern Resort is quite isolated outside the town of Mae Hong Son. Driving back in the dark after a few beers in town, I nearly missed the turning off the main road south. The resort is in a spectacular setting. Our bungalow was just a meter from the rice field that the rooms surround. While walking around the property one constantly hears a ker-plunk sound from bamboo tubes that fill with water and then hit a rock as gravity empties the water from them. The restaurant produced one of the best meals my wife and I have had together in Thailand -- not an easy task since I m a dedicated vegetarian and she's a Thai national. The room was spacious and well-appointed. I was happy that there wasn't a TV since my wife is a bit addicted to mindless shows. We didn't use the swimming pool, but its setting, being in the midst of jungle vegetation, is amazing. The staff at the resort are well trained and were always courteous and helpful. The nighttime market in the town was fun to stroll around, and one can watch football and have a beer or two at the Lakeside Bar & Restaurant.
Reservation service:
Smooth, quick and efficient service as always.

Idyllic place to stay! Our kids loved wandering around the rice paddies, listening to the sound of crickets and watching the butterflies. The staff were lovely, very kind to us and our twins. Unfortunately there were no high chairs or baby cots, but this would be our only complaint, and we would certainly love to stay again! Really a terrific spot, with lots of attention to detail all around the resort.

Excellent. Problems quickly resolved, very prompt responses. Will use again!

The bungalows are very clean and up to date, good standard. We couldn't understand to get this luxery for such money. It's just perfect!

Fern Resort,6 km.from Mae Hong Son, was an ideal stop on our drive round The Loop . Very tranquil with a beautiful setting and extensive, well maintained gardens. The staff were very friendly, if a little too casual! The resort could benefit from some freshening up of the lodge interiors and of the signage throughout the grounds. One criticism we do have is of the standard of food which was poor in choice, quality and presentation. Despite this, we would stay in the Fern Resort again.
Reservation service:
Very straightforward.
