Bertoli Marco 2008-08-24	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown very good and relaxing	very good
R.Rijnja 2008-07-07 until 2008-07-11	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown What a great hotel, what a fantastic service. Apart from the nice setting and style, it s the little things that made it so nice; the welcome with drinks by the MD, the life musician every afternoon at the pool, that constant smile of everyone. Great to relax after we visited crazy Bangkok.	Worked really well. Was originally a bit hestitant since it s so unknown, but it worked perfect and for fair prices.
RIES Roger 2008-06-01 until 2008-06-04	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Tamarind Village is located right in the middle of the ancient city. 5 minutes walk from the Night Bazaar, lots of food around the area. You will not believe what you see when you enter Tamarind Village. Its beautiful, and full of green, flowers and the big Tamarind tree in the middle of the garden. The rooms are very nice with a beautifull decoration and everything you need. The breakfast buffet is excelent and the food is from a very good quality. A la carte menus are the same than in a 3 star Michelin restaurant from quality and presentation. Next time I stay again on this place.	good and professional as allways I make my reservation with sawadee.
Michael JOross 2008-02-29 until 2008-03-07	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown I had a good experience at the TAMARIND VILLGE in CHING MIA . The staff was very attentive to our needs and made us very welcome at the hotel and the restaurant. The grounds and the rooms are well keep up .I will go back again and i well recommend to others. The manager was very attentive to her guest and was available during the day and the evenings hrs.
Frazer Crombie 2008-02-22 until 2008-02-24	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Tamarind Village was in the heart of the old city but peacful and shielded from all traffic noise. A lot of effort has been made to provide traditional but comfortable accomodation. The experience was let down a bit by so so service. Breakfast was particularly poor, with an expectation that guests were to microwave soften yesterday s rock hard croissants, and a dinning location next to the pool resulting in late breakfasters in uneasy standoff with early bathers in an ambience that does nt quite work out. Overall, a fair value hotel and would stay again if rushing to book, but with time to search I would be curious to try out other accomodations in Chiang Mai.	Good, as usual.
robert beavis 2008-02-20 until 2008-02-26	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown our room was the Lanna deluxe which was designed beautifully with walk in shower. the only problem here was waiting for the warm water to arrive. the hotel has a nice pool and a few beds to relax on. the staff were friendly & helpful. breakfast carried a good range of foods to suit most.overall a very nice place to stay. a bit further from the night market than they suggest.	with this booking no problems
PHILIPPE GAUTREAU 2008-02-19 until 2008-02-22	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Cet hotel est la représentation même du mot service . Le personnel est attentif, l hotel est superbement bien placé, un véritable ilot de verdure et de calme dans la vieille ville, le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel et les traitements du SPA sont fabuleux. Mon épouse et moi avons vraiment passé 3 jours extraordinaire ! Excellente adresse, a recommander...	Thank you sawadee !
Simon Beloe 2008-02-11 until 2008-02-13	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Excellent location in old town. Service exemplary. Lovely pool and delicious food but all on the pricey side. You get what you pay for!	Smooth and straight forward
Renate Woerndl 2007-10-24 until 2007-10-27	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Friendly place. Rooms o.k. Tours offered too expensive.	Very good!
Sarah 2007-10-20 until 2007-10-23	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown We absolutely loved this hotel. The service is amazing because everybody is so friendly and kind. The best parts must have been breakfasting next to the swimming pool in the morning, the swimming pool itself and the hotel s central location. To step out of the hotel and straight into the market was brilliant, especially when all the toursists were lining up to have their photo taken outside of Tamarind Village!	Very quick and easy.
Damien Vanslambrouck 2007-10-14 until 2007-10-19	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Beautiful hotel, great room, even better breakfast. Highly recommended!!!	Great
Maya 2007-10-02 until 2007-10-08	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Beautiful boutique hotel which is a oase in the old city center of Chang Mai. Make sure you get one of the renovated rooms though, which are more spacious, clean and dry! Friendly staff. Overall a good choice and worth the money. Would go back there again!
Yvan J Huertamoreno 2007-09-18 until 2007-09-21	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Probably one of the better hotels in Chiang Mai, kind of quiet for a young guy like me but def recommended for honeymooners and couples.	excellent
Peter Moran 2007-09-13 until 2007-09-17	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown I checked in after a long flight from New York and was greeted by the most wonderful staff....this beautiful hotel has a boutique feel about it....the pool is relaxing and my room was just like staying at the Four Seasons....breakfast was served in a beautiful room with the omlete man cooking away poolside. I loved the tranquility, peacefullness and quiet after a day of activity in Chaing Mai......I would go back in a minute....you will not be dissapointed at all if you stay here !!!!!!!!!!! ps...Tam one of the waiters in the dining room was wonderful each morning....knowing that I needed extra butter on my waffles !!!!!!!
Sue D. Orvik 2007-09-05 until 2007-09-08	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Tamarind Village is a beautiful oasis in the old, walled city area of Chaing Mai. From the moment you turn into its bamboo lined driveway, the calm and graciousness of this lovely hotel will envelop you. We recommend it VERY HIGHLY. Breakfast, included in the room cost, was superb, the staff was incredibly helpful and over-all it was a perfect place for us to stay. We look forward to returning there as soon as possible!	Although a tad slow in getting started, once rolling it was perfect. AND Sawadee saved us a lot of money- our rates through them were lower than on the hotel s direct web site.
Buido 2007-08-05 until 2007-08-07	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown les premieres impressions etaient excellentes avec la beaute du site , le raffinement. Helas, nous avons eu un probleme avec les toilettes qui n a jamais ete regle malgre deux demandes de notre part et... ce n est pas forcement tres agreable de mettre le papier hygienique usage dans un panier pour un hotel de cette categorie... pas trop aime la pression commerciale pour nous faire consommer davantage. je ne recommanderais pas cet hotel...	excellent
Stanis Smith 2007-07-29 until 2007-07-31	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Excellent boutique hotel well-located in the centre of Chiang Mai. Superb breakfasts.	Excellent.
Oscar Lulka 2007-06-28 until 2007-07-01	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Great hotel, not as close to the night bazar as they make you believe in Sawadee.com. Great breakfast, nice friendly staff. They should fix the water temperature in the shower, hot to cold every 5 minutes.	All well done.
Syed Ali Hamid 2007-06-22 until 2007-06-25	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown A lovely hotel done up in a rustic setting but with all the modern amenaties. Nice and quite but only 10 minutes away from the busy night market. Timed our stay with the sunday market that is held right next to the hotel. The staff was very polite and friendly. Rooms were very clean and the breakfast was good. However I wish the Tamirind and the other hotels we stayed at in Thailand, would have some dishes of Hallal meat or chicken. On the whole a wonderful experiance.	Done through Sawadee. Very efficiant.
Leanne Williams 2007-06-08 until 2007-06-12	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Tamarind Village and people of Chiang Mai were absolutely beautiful,Tamarind has very natural & peaceful surroundings staff excellent. Tamarind is a haven after the days touring or mixing with the locals, humidity in Thailand is stifling so to escape back to the Tamarind at the end of each day was very welcoming we would definately return.	Sawadee.com was easy to use, answers any emails promptly don t be afraid to use this service as all our bookings were handled efficiently no problems occured & we travelled to different area s.
Ross Seddon 2007-05-28 until 2007-06-04	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown We had a wonderfull time during our week stay. Staff and accomadation were excellent although for a deluxe room a little small. Attention to our needs and friendliness of staff 1st Class. Internet wireless connection back to rooms needs some upgrade for the business traveller. I needed to maintain daily contact so moving out of room to ensure connection annoying. Location perfect for those who like a little walk and the street market on Sundays a sight to behold (make sure you hold back with buying until you have seen this market, best I have ever been to). Will be back next year as we enjoyed our experince rather than a busy noisy impersonal large hotel.... Thanks to all	A 1St Class and prompt no frilles service. Highly recommended as not my first time nor my last... Thank Sasadee
Ashley Peterson 2007-05-14 until 2007-05-17	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Wow, what a surprise! I liked it from the pictures before we left, but it was even better in person. The staff were amazing. Very helpful and genuine. They offered a going away special at the spa. We took advantage of it and were pampered with the aromatherapy massage before we left for Phuket. The breakfast was fantastic. Very filling. The hotel was in a perfect location. Just inside the old city, close to resturants and temples. Not to mention a huge three story starbucks! Loved everything about the hotel and staff, had an enchanting stay in Chiang Mai!	No problems. I booked all the hotels myself through sawadee.com and felt more confident than with a travel agent. Thank you Sawadee!
Polly Kwong 2007-03-16 until 2007-03-19	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown I keep coming back to Tamarind cos I believe this is the best place to stay in Chiang Mai. The sunday market is just at the door step yet it s so quiet and peaceful, with everything just round the corner. High standard food at the restaurant and a nice breakfast to start a day. All the staffs are so friendly and kind, thanks again and see you all soon!	efficent and reliable!
Sam 2007-03-07 until 2007-03-09	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Absolutely lovely hotel with an old Tamarind tree in the courtyard situated within the old, walled city. The pool is very large, the staff very friendly and helpful and the rooms are gorgeous with a lovely bathroom and we had a balcony. The breakfast is also very, very good - I totally recommend this hotel!	Easy to use and no problems
Robin Graves 2007-03-02 until 2007-03-04	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown really excelent- amongst all the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai there is this oasis- it is really fabulous-very zen- I hope they keep it up. One of the best of our stays. great service also	good

Hanne Jensen 2007-02-10 until 2007-02-15	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown A LOVELY PLACE.This hotel is a peaceful, quiet, calming experience in the middle of the old town Chiang mai. We stayed in a Lanna DeLuxe room with our 2 children,and it was just perfect. The peace and quietness of this place is fantastic, when you enter from the town outside.It s a place to relax, after a long day exploring this area of Thailand. All staff members extremly helpsome and friendly.Restaurant good, breakfast good, not big, but tasty. I hope one day we will be back.	Very good. We extended our stay at this lovely place several times during our stay, and this also worked without problems.
Ellen 2007-02-07 until 2007-02-09	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Good location but the rooms are quite small. It is really worth it to pay the extra for the larger room and to ask for a room near the spa or away from the pool. Breakfast was okay but staff spoke excellent English and were really helpful in making reservations, helping us locate places in and around town, placing phone calls and they have an internet room you can use free of charge.	They charge a fee which most internet booking services do not. And they do make you pay up front which I don t normally like to do but it worked out. But they got us into this hotel when other services said they were booked AND they got us the best rate.
Stan Powley 2007-02-02 until 2007-02-08	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown An oasis of peace within the city. A wonderful hotel to stay in. The staff were very polite and pleasant, in fact some of the nicest staff I ve ever met in any hotel. The room was very clean and my only fault is with the swing doors into the bathroom. Yes I would return to this hotel without hesitation and I feel happy to recommend the hotel as a nice place to stay. Thank you to all the staff at the Tamarind.	Faultless as usual.
Jarrod Healey 2007-01-28 until 2007-02-04	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown If you like mosquitos and cold showers you ll love this place.
Peter Matthews 2007-01-11 until 2007-01-15	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Upon arrival our room wasn t available so they upgraded us to a suite, service levels were excellent, and a good location.	Good Service
Ms. Elizabeth Kwon 2007-01-07 until 2007-01-10	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown excellent experience at this hotel. the grounds were lovely, the staff were attentive and accommodating and the breakfast was tasty and satisfying. the location was also perfect b/c it was very central and right in the middle of the highlight of our stay - the walking street bazaar held on the weekends. would highly recommend this place!!	smooth transaction
JEROME BRIAND 2006-10-20 until 2006-10-21	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown A small paradise, in the city center of Chiang Mai. The staff very friendly, nice restaurant. Original Thai room, even if a noisy climatisation system.	Perfect booking system. Easy and quick.

Debbie Jala 2006-07-02 until 2006-07-03	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Perfect location if you happen to be in Chiang Mai on a weekend to enjoy the weekend market which is literally right outside the hotel! It was one of the most fun nights. Make sure to get a foot massage from all the walking. We had rooms on the top and bottom floors which we enjoyed staying in for a good days rest. Accommodations were tastefully done, service was perfect and we would definitely come back!	Hassle free.
John McKinnon 2006-05-01 until 2006-05-04	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown A charming property, well located, with efficient and friendly staff. Excellent meals and a good pool. It is a nice place for families.
Terry & Jeannie Van Maasdam 2006-01-26 until 2006-01-30	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown We loved the location of Tamarind Village....we could walk to almost everywhere within the city. (or take a tuk tuk) The Tamarind rooms are in the process of being re-done. We loved Chiang Mai and when we return if we stay at the Tamarind we will ask for an updated room. The people and service at the Tamarind was excellent. As in all of Thailand we found everyone eager to accomadate us in any way they could. Very quiet hotel within the old city walls...we would highly recommend it!	Excellent!
Geoffrey Jago 2005-12-29 until 2006-01-03	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Excellent. Set in wondeful grounds, very tranquil and hard to believe right in the city and so easy to get to all the local sights. Would definately stay here again.	All worked very smoothly.

Claire Spence 2005-12-12 until 2005-12-16	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown This hotel was beautiful. It is like a little oasis in the heart of a bustling city! It is very central, 5mins walk from tae pae gate and 10mins from wat chedi luang and wat prah singh (2 sites you must see!). The hotel rooms are very clean and spacious, the staff were always polite and helpful and their was always a good selection of european and thai favourites for breakfast. We would definately recommend this hotel!	very quick and easy service, would definatley recommend it to anyone
Sharon Moore 2005-11-21 until 2005-11-22	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Lovely, peaceful, an oasis in a busy trip of sightseeing and adventure. The breakfast was wonderful, staff very helpful, bed linen like sleeping on a cloud. Best place We ve stayed in years!! We wish we could have stayed there the whole trip but had to move on to other cities.	Very helpful with reservations, got great price on a wonderful hotel, Tamarind Village, Chiang Mai
Chris Luczynski 2005-11-03 until 2005-11-04	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Hotel was nice and staff was very courteous and professional. That said, I still prefered our stay across town at Baan Orapin. It was half the price and in a nicer setting, but still very close to the east side of the moat.	Piece of cake. Very easy to arrange.
Liat Beinart 2005-10-21 until 2005-10-22	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown one of the most beautiful, quiet and special hotels i have ever stayed at, with great location.	very efficient, got the best rate
Pauline O`Donnell 2005-07-25 until 2005-07-28	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown We had three wonderful weeks in Thailand and stayed at some of the best hotels in Thailand and I have to say that we were very disappointed with the Tamarind Village. Over rated and very much over priced for what it is. The rooms are very dark with no mosquito nets, not enough loungers at the pool and no bar in the hotel. We were told by our Thai friends that it is very much aimed at the foreign market(therefore the price which is high by Thai standards). Other hotels in the same area were much more up-market and half the price. Wont be staying here again.	Excellent. Fast and efficient with no problems whatsoever.
Julia C Brogli 2005-06-22 until 2005-06-23	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown The hotel is beautiful, the staff was friendly and the location was good--I would definitely recommend this as a good place to stay in Chiang Mai.	We had 4 different reservations through Sawadee this trip and had absolutely no complaints.
Joshua D McFarland 2005-05-10 until 2005-05-14	Tamarind Village, near Night Bazaar, Downtown Tamarind Village is a fantastic location -- right in the heart of the old city within easy walking distance of the night market. Very cute and quiet. Great breakfasts included. Well-worth the money, and a much better option than something boring like the Sheraton or another large hotel. The pool could have used a thorough cleaning when we got there, but it was cleaned two days later. Bring bug spray for mosquitos. It would be good if they upgraded the towels -- ours were kind of ragged.	Great & easy to book. A little on the expensive side, however.
