The wooden house is alright at best. Certainly not worth the $40 per night, but luang prabang is an expensive place and we stayed at a worse place for the same price on our first night. Positives: the location really is excellent. Just a street away from the river on one side and the main street on the other. Easy... More

We stayed here for three nights in late June 2011 (1 week ago). We loved it. The room was large, clean, cool and quiet. The staff were attentive and helpful and gave us a good rate when we turned up on their doorstep after a 13hr bus ride. Breakfast wasn't included, but we were glad for it. There are so... More

After arriving 2 days early, they were willing to move our reservation forward with no problem. We had reserved a room upstairs but they didn't have any available as we had arrived early. Overall there was nothing wrong with the service. The building is pretty enough and this place only has 6 rooms. It was clean and had everything you'd... More

Lao Wooden House is the best guest house I've ever stayed in. The staff are warm, friendly, funny and very attentive. The rooms are clean, cool and extremely comfortable. My advice to ALL who travel to Luang Prabang is to STAY AT THE LAO WOODEN HOUSE!!! It is a 30 second walk to the main st and a 15 second... More

My sister and I stayed here for three nights and enjoyed this guest house very much. It is on a pretty side street that's convenient to just about everything that you would want to see yet far enough off the main strip to be quiet. Our room was comfortable and clean, with plenty of hot water, and the staff was... More

Walls are so thin you can hear your neighbor sneeze. Rooms are very very dark with regular power cuts. Service: awful ! we got kicked out of our room right before going on a tour. The taxi was waiting for us when the staff let us know that we have to check out now (9.00 am) because they have booked... More

We needed a bit more luxury after some squashy bus rides, so were looking for a nice place to stay for a few days in Luang Prabang. We happened upon the lao wooden house who were keen for us to stay - we actually negotiated a room double room for $20 on a walk-in. I have to say, it was... More

Villa Lao Wooden House is a little gem tucked away in one of the many back streets of Luang Prabang. First impressions from the street were good and on settling in I found it a perfect place to stay and explore LP from. Yes there is a dark wood theme inside and out, but it creates an atmosphere of old... More

Laos Wooden House is clean and lovely, if a bit dark inside. It does make for a fantastic sleep. Unfortunately, I was awakened before 7 a.m. by staff banging around in the room next to me literally hitting the thin wooden walls and having loud (and apparently hilarious) conversations. Not a good way to start the day after a bad... More

We are writing our review while still staying in the property using the free wireless internet provided to guests. We have been here 3 days and will be checking out in the morning on a flight to chiang mai. We concur with the previous poster in many of their observations. The rooms are somewhat dark but we didnt mind it... More
