    A little overpriced for what you are getting, also a lot of crickets in the room

    Staff were nice and the property is opposite to a bakery. Close to the pier.

    Really close to the slowboat pier, 4/5 min walk. They will prepare a sandwich for the next day for about 25k/30k kip. AC worked well and you also have hot water if you would like.

    Ideal location for slow boat, sandwiches arranged to collect in the morning for the boat and close to an amazing restaurant (laos curry is the best here)

    Had to remember to avoid concrete pillar in the middle of the very low bed headboard. Charged more than the booked price (either that or a very unfavourable conversion rate). Towels clean but not fresh.

    Comfortable bed, close to the boat landing

    The bathroom is very basic and because of typical Laos drainage it can flood a little, but it is contained within the bathroom so it’s not a huge issue.

    The host was superb, catering for our requests and being very attentive. It is a family run guest house and it has that feel to it, being very warm and welcoming. The room is basic but very clean and we had a comfortable nights sleep. The location is perfect, you don’t need to get a tuk tuk from the boat, it’s an easy 5 minute walk up the hill. The host made us a delicious breakfast and sandwich ready to take the next day, which was all prepared on time in preparation for our next boat departure. Amazing value for money.

    Slightly dated however not an issue for one night and for the price

    Good place to stay for the price, 2 minute walk away from the slow boat pier. Can buy sandwiches etc from hotel too ready for the next day.

    The sockets for charging should have been located near the beds. The rest is perfect!

    Very basic accommodation but ok for price and for one night. Bathroom wet room so flooded. Owner doesn’t respond to messages prior to arrival. Quiet noisy at night so bring ear plugs. Only cash accepted.

    Good proximity to the pier just a few hundred metres walk up. Friendly host awaiting us. Helpful with organising breakfast and lunch from across the road bakery (think family owned). Nice restaurant Sabidee up the hill a little, great for beers and local food. Easy to pick up breakfast in morning and walk down to boat.

    The location is very nice, just a few meters uphill the pier. Right in front you can get breakfast and find several restaurants for dinner in the evening nearby. The owner is friendly.

    No plug close to the bed - the only 2 options were high on the wall (without 1m charging cable not possible to use) Noisy in the morning as it’s on the main road (nothing you can really complain about)

    Close to the pier - nice big room, strong shower Breakfast options plus take away service offered in the bakery on the opposite side

    Drainage had a certain aroma. Mosquitos, can’t be helped.

    Close to the slow boat pier. Simple room no bells or whistles. Comfy bed & clean sheets. Very friendly owner who sorted us a sandwich of our choosing for the next day, ready before 7:30am so we could collect and hop on the boat nice and early. Very welcoming owner. Air con was very appreciated
