Great place to start your discovery tour through the north of Laos and to visit some of the minority people. Lovely (rotan) bungalows with outside terras. Guesthouse was better than expected. Good bed. Somewhat noisy during Chinese New Year and guests with young children. Breakfast ok.

The guesthouse itself is ok. The setting is nice with the garden around and the rooms are fine as well. Its bamboo bungalows with bathroom. The hot showers did not work properly, but apart from that there was no issue with the room. The issue was more with the owners. There is a young lady working, who is incredibly rude.... More

We trekked overnight from Luang Namtha to Muang Sing via Old Falangs trail before arriving at this guest house. When we arrived, we were surprised to see a lovely garden and big, clean rooms (bungalow). The bed was firm and the sheets were very clean. Bathroom was fine and spacious with hot shower available although pressure was a bit low.... More

I got there after a very full day, and I'm no Spring chicken and got exactly what I was looking for. The rooms are spacious and super clean, and comfortable beds. Helpful staff. Only thing I think it needs are TVs. Sitting on the big balcony in the morning and enjoying the well-done garden is the perfect. And though it's... More

A good place to learn about things to do in the area. The bungalow rooms are very clean and comfortable. The price of 50,000 kip (not sure if this was just a low season price) was very good for what they offer. The only thing missing is wifi. I didn't eat at the restaurant but there are plenty of other... More

Really nice courtyard with basic rooms. Price was reasonable. I even forgot my iPod and returned the next day and they still had it! Very honest. It was appreciated. Otherwise, be wary of Muang Sing. People tend to recommend it but I find it to be the most boring town in Lao. It's essentially a China-Lao trading town.

Like the bungalows around the grassy green courtyard. Nice front porch, slippery shower floor is all I can complain about. Management ( I think his name was "Seesumpon".) was very helpful arranging a Tuk Tuk tour of villages with an excellent guide. We changed our minds about the one night trek we had planned to take because of th heat...and... More

Phou Iu Guest House 2 actually consists of numerous bungalows around a nicely landscaped green, one block off the busy main street in Muang Sing. There's some sort of night club across the street, but like everything in Muang Sing it seems to shut down fairly early (10-11 p.m.) and was never loud enough to bother me, a very light... More
