    Nothing really, sometimes staff hard to find. But they own the shop over the road so we worked out just to pop in there.

    Comfy beds. Great balcony. They provide water, coffee, tea and toilet paper everyday.

    Terrible smell in the bathroom. Guess it is the septic system and nothing they could do about it, but it was gagging!! Also, we needed to be given a third towel to wipe up the floor after showering. The splash everywhere shower is to be expected but it leaves the bathroom floor, and toilet, ect very slippery. Need to mop up afterwards. Hammocks outside the river view rooms would be really nice!

    Room was nice. Beautiful view of the river and a nice patio outside the room. Really appreciated the coffee set up for the morning. :)

    Pillows were too firm and thick - couldn't use them - used the cusion instead. Had to go looking for staff who were normally in the shop over the road. Room not serviced in a 5 day stay.

    The outstanding view from the upstairs rooms. Nothing short of spectacular! Balcony was excellent. Free tea & coffee (but no creamer). Hairdryer in the room. Room was a good size. Wi-fi was good. Location was good lots of restaurants and tour operators around or just over the bridge.

    No one cleaned our room during our stay, it was also not very easy to locate the staff as there is no reception. Room isn’t soundproof and the water from the sink in the bathroom just goes straight to the floor which is definitely bizarre. The owner tried to invent an exchange rate for our payment which would make us pay more but after showing her the rate on google we managed to get closer to the actual USD to Kip exchange rate. It ended up being fine but it’s a bit dishonest.

    The hotel is in a great location, the bed is very big and comfortable as well. When we arrived the room was clean and had everything we needed.

    The bathroom. The lack of plumbing U bends means that the bathroom has a strong smell of sewer all the time. Like many bathrooms in Laos, it is a wet-room, which is fine but the water does not drain well so there is a constant puddle on the floor.

    Location is great. The river facing rooms have a nice terrace and a good view. The room was clean. The bedding looked very clean. The terrace is kept really clean. The ladies who work there (owner?) are really friendly. They can be hard to find as there is no reception area but they own the convenience store over the road and are often there.

    No drinking cold drinking water available - just hot water & coffee, no tea Sink/ hand basin not plumbed in, it empties out onto the bathroom floor...it's not habit or normal for Westerners to wear flip flops in the bathroom, so don't get caught out with your socks on! Virtually no staff on site, except for a lady who runs a shop on the opposite side of the road who follows you in for check-in We requested if possible, a room with the mountain & river view and specified not to overlook the carpark, a photo was sent to show the upper level river view room....guess where our room was? We had a mountain view alright...of the many many Beerlaos crates on the property! It's an inconvenience to move rooms after 1 night

    Clean & comfortable base for Nong Khiaw, efficient AC & fan, good wifi Location fairly central to restaurants & convenience stores near the bridge - restaurants fill up quickly so head out early (before 7pm) Mama Tia's breakfast is amazing and they kindly made takeout pancakes for me when I was ill, Couleur Cafe was ok and had lots of pastries Bcel ATM in the town, but use as a backup/emergency incase it's empty - would recommend withdrawing cash in LP before arriving We booked a 1 day boat & hike trip with Nong Khiaw World Tour (Tony), good value (payment cash only) and the river journey alone to Muang Ngoy is just breathtaking

    There was quite an overwhelming smell coming from the bathroom drain that was really off putting. There also wasn’t any staff that spoke english, which is fine, but just something to be aware of.

    Great location and a lovely terrace that overlooks the river. Has everything you need in a room.

    The bathroom was not so clean. Mold on the shower. I wish there were more table or drawers so that I could put my stuff on them.

    Nice view! You should get a room with a view. Only that room is worthy. I booked 3 nights before going to Nong Khiaw, but end up extending 2 more nights. I was just relaxed looking over the river and mountains. Some people complained they didn't empty the trash bin, but remember it's not a 3 star hotel. I emptied the trash bin cause there was a common trash bin in the hallway. I was worried about the toilery, but they gave me new towels, toilet paper, and small water every other day. They were hanging on the door in a pink plastic bag. I appreciated it. It's not a fancy guest house, but good enough if you don't have a standard for hotels in big cities.

    The wifi would drop a lot but this is the norm in Nong Khiaw. I also wasn’t sure if the doors were locking properly.

    I really enjoyed my stay here so much that I came back after overnight camping and jungle trekking. If you’ve been in dorms for a while, this is a nice value for money break from them. Comfy bed, hot shower, towels, toiletries and water provided. The view from the river is a bonus but you’re not guaranteed it from all rooms. I found the staff very friendly. The location is also perfect for restaurants, tour operators and shops.

    I wish the room had a bit more welcoming atmosphere considering how much I paid it. It seems to not have a reception, or at least I didn’t find it so I had to wait a little but it was okay!

    The place is very central, the room was spacious and clean with a really good view. Clean sheets and towels. The hot shower takes a little time but it works.
