During 2 days on water from morning till 6 p.m. due to works outside...would have been nice, if I would have been informed by the staff.

House and room was nice, but only a window towards inside, enjoyed the balcony next to room.

Sometimes the bathroom wasn’t cleaned until later in the day and so the bin would be full and there would be no toilet paper. Shared bathroom meant you sometimes had to wait (but obviously this is to be expected).

Our room was nice and often quite cool (especially at night). Bathroom was cleaned daily and host was friendly despite not talking much English, and helped plan trips out of the town.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Phousi Guesthouse 2. Our double room with a shared bathroom was comfortable, and with only one other room sharing the bathroom, it was convenient. The shared bathroom offered constant hot water and was well-maintained. The hostel provided reliable WiFi, which was a nice perk. Although our room lacked a window, other rooms had balconies offering scenic views. Additionally, a communal balcony near the top of the stairs provided a lovely overlook of the river. The guesthouse's location is fantastic, just a short 3-minute walk to the markets and close to the ferry pier for excursions. The owner/manager, though quiet, seemed willing to help if needed. It's essential to remember that this is a guesthouse, essentially someone's home. Respecting the property and its owners ensured a trouble-free stay. While there were no windows, the fan worked well, and though the walls were thin, guests generally respected each other's space. Overall, a pleasant experience in a convenient and friendly guesthouse. ຂອບ​ໃຈ

Our room smelt badly of cigarette smoke every time someone downstairs smoked (which was often).

Great location, across the road from the river with great bars and restaurants and close to night market.

Ants if you leave food out- be careful of this.

Budget accommodation in a traditional Laotian house. Staff were friendly although had limited English. Shower worked fine. Little private balcony with one of the rooms, and a communal balcony with another.

Be aware that there was no working elevator when I stayed there

On expensive side, but you get increased cleanliness for this. Flexible staff who are accommodating of your travel plans. Recommend.

The bathroom is only shared by 3 rooms, which I don’t care to share, but is one the bathrooms were the shower is i the toilet, so it was wet all the time, including the toilet, this is not very convenient.

Great guesthouse! loved the quiet location in front of the river, but close to everything. It is and old wooden house, so beautiful! I had a room with balcony and vented everyday, didn’t even used the fan, so worth it to get this room. The host was very kind, don’t expect conversation nor recommendations from him tho. There are some things that could be polished, like proper bathroom amenities or coffee station, but honestly for the price you can’t ask for more.

As has already been mentioned in previous reviews, the photos do not match the reality

At the Mekong River and close to the Night Market and Phousi Hill Tidy room downstairs, was relatively quiet and had good air conditioning Water pressure and toilet paper was really good

There is no eating/ drinking platform over the river. The first photo in the listing must be a nearby bar or pre-covid or something, it doesn’t exist now. The staff gave us a very neutral welcome.

We stayed in the room with a balcony facing the river and this was lovely. To the side of our room was a very small communal area with 2 chairs and a view of the river. The location was really good. Bathroom, room and bedding was really clean. We had a good nights sleep.

I did not find the staff member on duty to be overly communicative or welcoming.

Fabulous location right on the Mekong River. Exceptionally close to night markets and all other tourist attractions in old town.

The room has a fan only, and no natural light so be prepared for it to be a little warm. It’d also be great if you could supply hand soap in the bathroom :)

The owner who runs it is lovely with a nice family, he’s happy to help with sorting tuktuks, train tickets etc and let us check out late when we got a later train to Vang Vieng. The location is perfect, with everything and the night market on your doorstop.

The rooms are separated only by a thin layer of wood (not un normal in the region) so you feel like you are sharing the room with the neighbors. Not a deal breaker but it’s better to know if you’re looking for quiet.

- Great location - Super nice staff - Great value for price

Our water did not work during the stay, so we could not shower, flush the toilet and wash our hands in our room during much of our stay.

It was in a nice location just along the river with lots of shops and night market nearby.

Very noisy, room without window. Very uncomfortable bed

Many good restaurants around on the Riverside, close to Morning Market and National Museum
