Babylon appeared welcomign upon arrival but quickly became the worst experience of my two month of travels in Asia. We were watching TV one day when a couple came back to the guest house to ask if they'd left their camera in the room...of course it wasn't there anymore (though the owner refused to allow them into the room to...

After reading some of the reviews i feel the urge to write??? The room we had was huge and great value for money. Nick and his mellow compadre Kam were a joy and very helpful. Nick is a loose cannon, and I'm sure he doesnt care if the reviews are good or bad, but both Nick and Kam are great... More

Seriously, Nic the guy who operates the place is a loose canon. You don't know who you'll see when you go and try to find him. There's the pleasent amiable Nick who will answer questions with charm and wit, or there's the bafflingly rude Nick, who will look down upon you like riverscum at even the most obscure question. The... More

This place is absolutely shocking and shouldn't even be open for business. During our 6 months travelling this was by far the worse hostel I stayed in. It's filthy and the owner is abusive and rude. We had a brilliant time tubing but unforunately this ruined our stay in Vang Vieng. The owner sleeps in the recpetion area and spends... More

We stayed at this guest house for one night in December. We hadnt booked before we arrived but asked for a twin room which they provided us with. The room was very small and cramped with 2 beds in and an en suite bathroom. Our initial thoughts were that it was a bit grubby; the holes in the worn out... More

We had an horrific experience at this place... the staff were rude and we were lied to but the worst part of all was the owner. I have never seen anything like it... He flipped when we queried whether the wifi was free (the sign said it was free but we were told by the staff we had to pay... More

I had pre-booked and paid for a large room at Babylon with two beds for 2 nights. My booking was made through Instant World Bookings. When I arrived, at the date and time advised on my booking, the desk clerk advised that they had given my room to someone else but that they would ask them to leave. I waited... More

The following is an e-mail that I sent Nic the manager of the Babylon Guest house in reference to a memory card I carelessly lost while in Vang Vieng during my visit from 6/09/09 to 6/13/09. Dear Nic and staff of the Babylonm It was my carelessness that is at fault here and you should not be inconvenienced any further... More

I had to give this one the lowest possible rating for everything, simply because of the creepy owner. His hostel is the only hostel in town which won't let guests in past around 8:30. I try to bring a guest home one drunken night. I politely, no exageration, try to get him to explain to me why this is so,... More
