Libra Guesthouse

This was the first place I stayed with my friend in Thailand in September 1996. We had an amazing experience. We ended up here after a young lady from the guesthouse - maybe it was Dao - asked us at the train station if we needed a guesthouse. Not knowing the difference between any of the guesthouses, we agreed to go there. The fan rooms we stayed in at the time were great value. The food was so delicious. The 2 or 3 night trek we did was a real adventure. Above all, I remember the wonderful family who ran the guesthouse. Such nice people. My experience there, and elsewhere in Thailand, inspired me to come back to Thailand in 1997. I've been working as an English teacher in Thailand since that time. Wonderful memories of Libra Guest House.

If you’re looking for a safe, spotlessly clean, friendly guesthouse in a great location, you will love Libra. Perfect for families, it’s a peaceful gem if tranquillity with a wonderful swimming pool. Close to many local sights and restaurants. Our rooms had everything we needed and were very clean. We enjoyed our best sleep in ages! But above all else, the welcome from the hosts is like nothing I’ve experienced. They really do make you feel like family. I was unlucky to have an accident whilst at a water park, and felt so relieved to return to Libra where they looked after me with such care and compassion. I’ll never forget that :) If we return to Chiang Mai, we will certainly stay at Libra again. And if you’re looking for a calm and gentle place to stay, I’d urge you to stay here too.

This place is absolutely amazing. The hosts are the nicest people I've ever met, they help you with tours, to arrange massage, recommendations about routes, about food, help with where to do laundry, everything. I had a miscommunication with them about arranging the time with massage and they were understanding and nice. They also gave us a lot of vitamins powder to mix with water for our travels. Absolutely lovely people. The place is in a great location, quite, with a pool and a great environment. It's a relaxing place, and the rooms are clean, with big beds and enough space for everything. There is a small shampoo in the toilet, water and a kettle. They give also towels, and they helped us lending us towels for the elephants tour. The next time I come to Chiang Mai, I'll come here for sure. Thank you for the experience!

Dao and her staff take care of everything for you, and make your time in Chiang Mai so relaxing and easy. They will help you with anything, and guide you towards what’s best to do in Chiang Mai without even asking. They are so friendly that you feel at home, which creates a very open and fun a**osphere for all guests. I would not stay anywhere else! Thank-you!!!

My 13 year old son and I spent a few days here at the beginning of January 24 and really enjoyed it; in some ways it was a little scuffed around the edges but the family who run it and the a**osphere more than made up for it. We were made to feel part of the extended family and it was a great experience, both the guest house and Chiang Mai too. I've seen some of the very critical reviews of Libra and, to those people, I would say, it's a guesthouse, not a 5 star hotel, and if you don't relax and immerse yourself in the experience, it isn't for you - go to the Hilton or Holiday Inn. What else, oh breakfast was great and the lady who does the massage right next door is fantastic - recommend you try.

We loved Libra Guesthouse. This was my 4th stay and is my go to place when I visit Chiang Mai. Dao and her family are the perfect hosts. They helped us book cooking school and a visit to the elephant sanctuary The rooms are spotless and comfortable. The swimming pool is a nice added bonus to cool ourselves down after a day exploring temples. We can't wait to come back, jen & dec

Libra guest house is a calm, family-owned place situated in a vivid area of the old city. Besides the amazing pool the owners are extremely kind and treat you like a guest and not a tourist. I definitely recommend staying there.

5 stars is not enough for this place. The rooms are more that what is needed but the service, staff and kindness was second to none( stayed with my two children 8 & 11 and their uncle. We did the Karen Village overnight trek with Nu.....WOW - what a guide. He looked after us to much, the village people were very hospitable and kind and the food was delicious. Nu was so informative enroute and also made us chopstocks out of bamboo, banana leaf hats to keep off the sun....it was incredible. Dao run Libra fantastically, she was so helpful, kind, caring and lovely. I wish all the places I had been to in Thailand had a caring owner like Dao. A big shout out to Nemo.......she worked with Dao, and lit up our stay.. her massage palour next door was the best we had on our 6 week trip!

I went to Chiang Mai with a group to study Thai massage and we stayed here. It is absolutely lovely and the owners are amazing. So kind and helpful. The room was great and breakfast every morning was so delicious! Best coffee I've ever had! Please book directly through their website if possible. This helps them out a lot.
