resort hoshihana

Resort Hoshihana carries one of the strongest staff-service scores in this whole batch of properties — 9.9 out of 10 — inside an overall rating of 9 from 315 reviews. This five-star property sits in Hang Dong, 14.6 km from the Old City centre but a much shorter 11.3 km from Chiang Mai International Airport, making it a genuine option for guests who'd rather base themselves near the airport and the southern countryside than in the city centre itself. Uncle Kham knows Hang Dong as furniture-and-ceramics country, a quieter stretch of Chiang Mai that rewards guests willing to skip the Old City crowds.

Getting to Resort Hoshihana

Being just 11.3 km from the airport makes Resort Hoshihana an easy first or last stop on a Chiang Mai trip, and the property lists airport transfer among its guest-loved highlights. The Old City centre is a longer haul at 14.6 km, so guests planning temple visits should budget real travel time rather than treating it as a quick trip. Daily housekeeping is confirmed as part of the stay, and air conditioning runs throughout — a comfort worth having in Hang Dong's open countryside heat.

Rooms & What to Expect

Four cottage and villa layouts are on file, each with its own name and character. The Two Bedroom Cottage - Uho runs 80 square metres across two sets of single beds, with a nature outlook that puts the surrounding gardens front and centre. The Two Bedroom Cottage - Kassy is larger at 108 sqm, combining semi-double and single beds with the same nature outlook — Uncle Kham's pick for a family wanting the most floor space among the cottages. The Standard villa 2 bedroom is the biggest configuration at 124 sqm with a sofa bed, suited to groups wanting a villa-style stay rather than a cottage. The Two Bedroom Cottage - Curly, 97 sqm with a mix of semi-double and single beds, rounds out the cottage range with the same garden-facing outlook as its sisters.

Amenities & Facilities

Resort Hoshihana runs an unusually full activity list for its size: horse riding and a proper hiking trail sit alongside a spa, sauna, and outdoor pool, plus body-scrub and body-wrap treatments and a full massage service. Minibars feature among what guests say they loved most about staying here, alongside daily housekeeping — small comforts that add up over a multi-night stay. A tour service at the front desk helps guests plan trips further into Hang Dong or back into the city.

What's Nearby — Temples, Markets & Local Life

Chiang Mai Night Safari is 6 km away, a realistic evening trip for guests with a car or grab arranged. Wat Phra That Doi Kham, the golden mountain temple, sits 7.97 km off — one of the more striking pilgrimage sites in the wider Chiang Mai area. Wua Lai Walking Street is 14.13 km away, Chiang Mai Zoo 14.29 km, and Wat Phra Singh 14.32 km, all realistic as a full day out from this base rather than a quick errand. Closer to the resort, Grand Canyon Chiang Mai — the reservoir known for cliff jumping and floating decks — is just 530 metres away, a genuinely popular local spot. Hang Dong Golf Course sits 1.76 km off for guests who packed their clubs, and Wiang Dong fishing pond is 2.82 km away for a quieter afternoon. Hang Dong Hospital and Panyaden School both sit around 3.05 km from the property, useful markers for anyone needing to know the neighbourhood is a genuine, functioning community rather than a resort bubble.

Dining

No specific on-site restaurant is confirmed here, which fits the cottage-resort model — many guests treat meals as part of the wider Hang Dong exploration, with the area's ceramics workshops and cafés within easy reach by car.

Other Hotels Nearby

For guests comparing five-star options in Hang Dong, Baan Guru Resort sits just 0.6 km away with a perfect 10/10 score, the strongest rating anywhere in this local cluster. Sela Chiangmai, 1.8 km off, holds an 8.8/10 score at the same five-star tier. Modern Love Villa, 2.2 km away, rounds out the group with a 9.9/10 rating — nearly matching Resort Hoshihana's own standout staff-service score.

Guest Reviews

Staff service is the headline number here — 9.9 out of 10 against a city average of 9, one of the widest gaps in this entire batch, and a genuine signal of a team that goes well beyond the basics. Cleanliness follows at 9.6 versus 8.9, and value for money at 9.6 against 8.4. Facilities score 9.5 versus a city average of 8.8, reflecting the wide activity list above. Location comes in at 8, just under the city average of 8.1 — the trade-off for Hang Dong's quieter, more rural setting.

Good to Know

Check-in opens at 15:00 and check-out is due by 12:00. A breakfast-included room plan is available. Air conditioning and minibars are confirmed in guest feedback, small but real comforts worth knowing about before you book.

Resort Hoshihana isn't chasing an Old City address, and the review scores suggest guests don't mind one bit — a cottage stay in Hang Dong, close to the airport, with a staff team that this batch's numbers say is genuinely exceptional.
