The friendliest family run apartments I've seen. I stayed here for 3weeks while working and loay and his cool family are extremely honest and welcoming. The rooms were an amazing price and there was free coffee and fruit in a morning. The wifi is included and he wud always put on the English footie for me. Id highly recommend going... More

Loay is a great host, prices are cheap, around $11 for a room with an en suite, including tea, coffee, water and and all the bananas you can eat isn't bad wherever you are in the world. No restaurant, but there are plenty in Vang Vieng. Loay let my wife take over the kitchen (wood fires) to make a meal,... More

We stayed in in one of the stone bungalows; a 3-bed room with A/C, perfect for two adults and two children. I think around 110.000 KIP per night. Sober, but clean. Each bungalow has a small verandah which is nice to sit. There is an open area where the reception is, with chairs and tables. Drinks can be bought from... More

Checked in 21/08/10, as the reviews seemed great. First room was fine, until we tried sleeping and we wore woken by loud banging outside coupled with security flashing torches into the room. Staff were helpful as we felt unsafe and asked to move. Second room was infested with ants, bed bugs coupled with a broken shower and woodworm in the... More

Went owing to the reviews on here. We had a double aircon room for 70,000 kip per night with private bathroom and constant hot water. The room was brand new and large, with fly mesh on the windows as well. They are spotlessly clean and quiet at night. The owner even gave us free fresh fruit from his garden. They... More

We were looking for one of the other guest houses when the owner of this place chased us on his motorbike and persauded us into coming to look at a room. As we were very hot and tired and carrying heavy bags, in a moment of weakness we let him bundle our rucksacks on his motorbike and followed him. Anyway... More

We turned up here (without reservations) based solely on the reviews on Tripadvisor. We were not disappointed. The rooms are very clean and spacious (seem very new). The staff, in particular the owner, helped with any requests we had and are very friendly. The guest house is a little way from central Vang Vieng but easily walkable (10 mins or... More

Our tuk-tuk driver took us to this place first upon arrival in Vang Vieng, but none of us inspected the place, not trusting the driver. We wandered into the center of town, and after going to some 10 guesthouses settled down for the night in a Dok-something place. I didn't like it, not the atmosphere, and walking down the street,...
