The bungalow is unique and you can have a great sleep listening to birds and frogs chirping away from the busy city center. Very tranquil and relaxing vibe. The water heater was luke warm and you couldnt have a hot shower feeling cold most of the time coming out. The wifi was intermittent, losing connection quite often. The location is also further away from city center than I thought, if you don’t take the free shuttle offered by hotel be prepared to pay 100k kip for a round trip to city center. The service and breakfast was normal. But overall the amenities in the bungalow was old and dated. For the price i just didnt think the value was reflected.

Breakfast fresh every morning with great choices, served on your balcony overlooking river. All staff very friendly, went beyond expectations, from our welcome, booking tuc tucs and helping us book a private transfer when the provided transport never turned up. What a fantastic place. Highly recommended.

The service is superb. The entire staff is friendly and super helpful. For example, even though our flight arrived late and after the kitchen closed, they still brought us some food. And who can complain about having breakfast on your deck overlooking the river. The rooms are comfortable. The bathrooms are basic (e.g. only cold water in the sink) but completely functional. We highly recommend this place.

The service there was more than amazing, everyone was nice and they did everything to please us! Plus they provide free shuttle to go center town, the breakfast is great and generous, the decorations were beautiful, the pool was very clean and large enough to swim. I strongly recommand this hotel! Only downside: pillows were a little firm to my taste.

We stayed for 5 nights in a riverside bungalow which was peaceful and relaxing. It was slightly away from the noise of town but easily within walking distance. We also cycled on free bikes and there is a shuttle bus in and out of town. The owner and staff were excellent and friendly and helped us organise trips andd transfers. Breakfast was great and we had a lovely stay, thank you

This guesthouse shines on service. Airport transfer and pickup were a breeze. They take the time to nicely greet you and check you in, giving you all the details. Daily shuttle in and out of main area of town is great. The pool was well kept and quiet (though, like so many in south east Asia, very cold). We had a river view bungalow. It was mostly clean, as much so as wooden rooms like these with gaps in the wall can be. But they provide mosquito nets. No TV. Breakfast is good and plenty with various options. If you want a break, feel free to use their kitchen (cashew chicken gets two thumbs up and yellow curry was good too). It is fresh and on probably better for the price than anything you will get a food stall in town for same cost. Dinner for three was about $12 USD. They do not advertise it, but they were glad to use their daily shuttle to drop us at our next guesthouse in Luang Prabang. I found I had forgotten my Nalgene water bottle in the mini fridge and called them to ask about it, and they brought it on the shuttle so I could pick it up that evening when they dropped hotel guests in the city. That was HIGHLY appreciated. They provide one bottle of drinking water per guest, and have a drinking water refill station. The beds were ok - not great but not the worst in SEA. We had a triple room, a king bed and two singles. The singles were incredibly soft to the point it felt like you might roll off and the king was a bit too hard. Goldilocks again :) Thanks Thonbay!
