I stayed here and had absolutely no problems. I hadn't booked ahead and just turned up, got a double room with fan for 80,000 kip. The room was clean and spacious as was the bathroom which also had a hot shower, the room i had wasn't on the river front so maybe that is the way to go. As for... More

This is an overpriced, filthy place. We stayed in the supposedly "nice" room (number 2) with the riverviews. The bathroom was so dirty and old that we tried not to use it at all. The toilet was leaking and so the floor was covered in toilet water and swarming with mosquitos. The wifi doesn't reach the rooms and the weird... More

We came to luang prabang and got to thony 1 guest house. the lady of the house tried to rip us off after the owner told us the room's price! The room was dirty and the lighting was terrible! We got kicked out of our room after paying for it because the owner remembered that it was already booked (after... More

In principle this is a typical backpackers hostel with some sort of comfort. However, the service and the hosts make this a strange experience. You do not feel welcome overall. I had not booked the place in advance but went there accidentially. Already when entering I did not feel home. The first room offered to me was musty and pretty... More

The best thing about this place is the views on to the river. We had a very big bedroom with a nice bed and airconditioning and enjoyed our time here, although it is very basic and not kept incredibly clean. The balcony downstairs isn't that great and there's nothing that outstanding about this place but its fair for the price... More

We chose this place as we could book on the Internet but I think we may have paid extra to do so. River view from our upstairs rom was lovely but no balcony so you have to stand to look out. There is a deck downstairs but the area is not especially inviting. It was also quite a trek back... More

The guesthouse is a short walk from the main areas of town which gives you a peaceful location. The room was simple and fair to the price paid. Our bed room looked out onto the Nam khan river lazily flowing past, there is also a balcony area downstairs for all to enjoy this view. The owner (sorry but i didn't... More

It looked nice on internet, but this place is terrible. We had the largest bedroom (number 8), and the most expensive, with a "view" of the river ( you could just about see it by craning your neck), the room itself was nice, the bathroom a little bit on the "antic" side! Be careful by the way as our son... More
