I love Luang Prabang, and hope it will not turn into a Disney caricature, Holiday Inns, cotton candy, and meaningless plastic souvenirs. The Sayo Guest House is an almost perfect location - a few short blocks to the night market, and just one block to the river, with its many cafes, peaceful scenery, and spectacular sunsets. Across the street is... More

Stayed at this Guest house for 7 nights. We had booked a large upstairs room, but when we arrived at about 7.30 pm we were shown to our room but it was not large but very small. The next morning we were moved to another room and this was the largest in the guest house it was very nice with... More

We stayed here for a week during High Season and were given the biggest room in the property overlooking the Mekong River, in fact, when I say stayed a week the promotion at the time was "stay 7 nights, pay for 6". As we had the largest room a large King Bed, sitting area with table & chairs, plus a... More

We had a deluxe room in this hotel, and that really pays off. The room was on the first floor, and had a nice bed, minibar, airco, all we wished for. Best thing was the private balcony looking out on the Mekong river. There's 2 nice chairs, a small table, even a fan. Great for a last drink in the... More

Opposite the Mekong River, I found this hotel so pleasant and relaxing that I extended my stay twice and was reluctant to leave. However, much of that feeling could be due to the laid-back atmosphere in this town. Combine a lovely laid-back town, with pleasant gentle people, and a large airy room with a great view, and you've got magic!... More

I stayed here for four nights with a couple of friends. We had a room upstairs which was really lovely and extremely spacious, so great for a triple room. The room was also bright with plenty of windows and a nice view. There was a small dining/seating area by the windows, which overlooked the river, so it was a great... More

I loved the guesthouse itself and our room, and the price was right ($40 for an upstairs room with a balcony and two chairs). However, there was no breakfast included, and most of the guesthouses include breakfast. That didn't bother us too much because we found some great breakfasts, and the day the Sayo started serving breakfasts (high season began),... More

I stayed in this guesthouse on October 8th, 2012. Previously, i had a plan to stay there for 2 nights, the first time i came by tuktuk from terminal that day, i met unfriendly guy and i decided to stay only 1 night. i didn't know exactly, was the guy the owner or one of guesthouse's staf. But it seemed... More

Sayo has three Guesthouses in Luang Prabang. We stayed in two of these. Initially for 2 nights at one close to the Presidential Palace: Very central location with decent places for breakfast close by. Quiet street as well, which was nice. The room we stayed in was slightly dated, but more than good enough for what we needed. Subsequently we... More
