Deejai Backpacker Reviews

The absolute best hostel we stayed in while our trip in Thailand! Cozy common area where everybody who likes to hangs out, free wifi and PCs to use. There is even a kitchen which serves good food - this makes it sometimes hard to even leave the hostel although it's located very conveniently central in Chiang Mai. Bathroom per room, pretty cool. And staff is even greater - Adam and Rob are welcoming you warmly and are always open for a chat, pool or other fun. Absolute recommendation.

Had a brilliant stay here!! Traveling alone for the first time, I wanted somewhere social and easy going - Deejai Backpacker was an exceptionally good choice, and excellent value for money. The communal garden area was lush, and the staff were great too. A little far out from some things but very close to others - an overall win I think. I also found people to be respectful of sleeping hours and had no trouble myself when I wanted an early night. In Chiang Mai, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

A really cool place to be, the most social hostel I have stayed in so far! Everyone chills out in the lobby or in the garden (has a bamboo treehouse) and the atmosphere makes it really easy to meet people, great for me as a lone traveller! Very good value for money, most of the staff were pretty chill but not sure about the main guy. Good location too, can easily walk to the main markets.

great place to meet other young travelers. Everything you want to see and do can be organized by the nice staff at front desk. Room cleanliness was "ok". If you prefer a quieter room, avoid one above the backyard where there is music, bar and pool table.

Great! All the reviews were right, about this place. Clean comfortable and very sociable. Would recommend.

we will be back!!!!! love it! bathroom very clean, bar garden was the one...we didnt really leave the same spot.....

Nice hostel with excellent staff. The owner is British and he knows a lot about the area and what you can do there. The hostel is quite big so you will meet a lot of travellers there. I was glad I had a room with a/c as it was really hot there in March. Only negative aspect: they don’t give you toilet paper, you need to bring by yourself.

Without a shadow of a doubt the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The atmosphere is fantastic if you want a sociable, party atmosphere and the owner (Rob) is great. Staff are extremely accommodating and helpful, and the value for money is second to none. Am definitely going back!

very nice hostel, excellent facilities and cheap. too much party for my style

Four bed dorms are a little strange but overall I liked this place and would probably stay again!

Stayed in the budget 100 baht/night dorm. Was definitely good value for money. Main area's pretty nice aswere the staff.

Absolutely loved this hostel! Staff is amazing! Would highly recommend!

I had such a great time here. The atmosphere was so cool and the staff was great. I would recommend for anyone, especially If you're travelling solo. Great place to meet people and the staff was great to help you find things I do. I wish they places like this all over Thailand.

Everything felt comfortable. Lots of other travelers to talk to or you can get some peace in the garden in a hammock. The rooms were nothing to brag about, but you shouldn't be in the room anyway. Decent place for the cost.

Great place to stay... It's about 1km from the central place but you can walk it or take a tuktuk... Great staff very friendly

Had an absolutely amazing time at Deejai! Met so many amazing people, backpackers and staff alike. Great food, nice dorms, plenty of Changs and Annie the puppy! Had a blast playing DJ in the Jungle Chicken (bar!) and shooting pool. Chiang Mai has something about it, can't quite put my finger on it, that makes you not want to leave. Well done to Rob, Adam and all the staff at Deejai for making it my favourite part of my trip and a great way to end a great holiday! I'll be back for sure!

This is an easy one. Great atmosphere, great building, good room rates. This will be my first choice of accommodation when I return to Chiang Mai.

Deejai is, by far, my favourite hostel. It's clean, has hot water, good wifi, small dormitories (most a 3 beds to a room), has a great bar area, pool table, fire pit for bon fires, has an extensive range of tours. Rob is your man if you need anything done; he'll sort you out for basically anything you need. Strongly recommended.

Friendly laid back place. Won't let you take your own drinks/food but they have the same reasonably provided there. Can hire motorbikes straight from the hostel which was handy. The rooms aren't clean but great value for money in a handy location. 4 bed dorms are mostly 3 beds.

No mosquito net/window screen, cockroach crawling on the floor, shared bathroom on ground floor pretty disgusting. Friend found a few bed bugs. Does not provide sheets/towels. Staff friendly but not super helpful. Will not stay there again if going back to Chiang Mai
