We stayed in the bungalows, which provided a very serene and relaxing environment as the bungalows have a veiw of the river and the rainforest. The rooms were very nice as they were made from polished teak with matching furniture, however lacked air conditioning. Bungalows would not be suited for the elderly due to the large steps, slippery pathways, and... More

Did the 2 day mahout training and stayed one night here. Just a perfect place after a perfect day w/ the elephants. The little boat ride to the island where the lodge is pretty nifty. Had a great guide throughout - Thor, he's wonderful and his English is great. There was only one other couple staying. Worth every penny. Elephants!... More

First off let me say that the cabins at the location at Mahout Lodge are wonderful. Beautiful views and plenty comfortable enough without making your feel that you have been shut off from the surrounding setting. Unfortunately though we booked for several nights and it seems that the lodge is mostly geared up just for people who have booked one... More

We really enjoyed our staf at this elephant camp along with a full day of touring ethnic villages. Our guide, I think it is spelled Ka, was WONDERFUL. He spoke excellent english and was ready and willing to help us in any way needed. The lodge is charming, well located to Luang Prabang yet felt like it was in the... More

Had the opportunity to stay overnight at the Mahout Lodge (part of All Laos Elephant Camp?) last week and do some elephant riding as well. The camp is set out on a nice piece of land on a site accessible only by boats run by the camp. While at the camp one is completely dependent on provided camp facilities and... More

The nature of any distant or remote resort is that the guests are 'dependent' (in the reviewer's words) upon the resort for their meals. Our Mahout Lodge includes two breakfasts in our cabin rates of $35-45 (USdollars) per night and which also includes complimentary round-trip van transfer from central Luang Prabang to our resort and back. This breakfasts already incudes... More

Our family of four recently spent one night at the Mahout Eco Lodge in conjunction with doing the 2 day Mahout course (All Laos). We all enjoyed the course very much - my husband will be raving about it for years to come! The chance to spend 2 days riding elephants in such a lovely spot on the river really... More

We loved the 2 days in the Mahout Eco Lodge and the Mahout Course. It was really a unique experience. We have some upsides and some downsides, with which we hope to help the Camp to improve their services. The time you spend on the elephant is a great way to get to know you're elephant and the beautiful area,... More
