If you are going to vang vieng for the scenery and calm village life, this is where you should stay. On the opposite riverbank to the bars and tubes, maylyn is a beautiful garden with medow, stream and mountain views. The communal area is a good place to eat and chat with fellow travellers and joe the owner. Our bungalow... More

Unfortunately we stayed only one night in the Maylyn Guest House but this was enough to fall in love. The setting is stunning, the bungalows are nice and the owner is very friendly, honest and helpful. And not to mention the very low price for all the comfort and nice location you get! Please do go to the other side... More

this was my second visit to maylyn. the new accomodation is excellent for the price and as usual joe is a fantastic host. vang viene is a hectic town designed for chaos and "spring break" type activities but well worth a visit. the great thing about maylyn is that it is on the quiet side of the river and in...

We (my 5year old and I) stayed in #19 for 5 nights and had a great time !! The view is stunning, the hammock on the porch invites to slow down and just do nothing. The staff is extremely friendly and I felt very comfortable with my little boy being able to run around and play with the kittens. VangVang's... More

Stayed here one night, it was a really nice place with a great atmosphere and good location away from the doof doof! however upon arrival we noticed there wasn't any toilet paper. I went and asked for some and the English speaking lady who seems to be running the show laughed at me and grabbed a half roll from within... More

We have been traveling through Asia for the past five months and this is by far the most enjoyable stay we have had anywhere. We paid $10 a night (cheaper rooms were available) for a bungalow which was clean and comfortable, with a wonderful view from its veranda. It looked down onto a river, beyond this were the beautiful Maylyn... More

The Maylyn guest house is the nicest place I've stayed in Laos. The bungalows have great views to the mountains and the garden is fantastic. Even the cats are nice. I can highly recommend this place if you are looking for a more quiet place in Vang Vieng. The food is great too :-) More

My hotel in Luang Probang called ahead to say that we would be arriving late as we would take the night bus down to Vang Vieng. We were told that this would not be a problem and that there wasn't even a need to book ahead as they had rooms. When we arrived there was a member of staff asleep... More

First off there was no booking at this guest house that night. However when we woken at 4.30 am my wife got up got dressed and went downstairs to see what the disturbance was . She got a key and showed the guests to a clean room. No problem there. The following morning I met the what I presumed to... More

Can't say enough good things about this place,its in a beautiful setting far enough away from the town so the late night noise level doesn't interfere with your sleep,the rooms are spotless and everything you need is at your fingertips,the owner Jo is more than hospitable when it comes to helping you plan activities and trips or with any queries...

The rooms are surrounded by a beautiful lush garden (never seen so many butterflies!). A unique place in a town that is not pretty at all. Joe, the owner, is fun and will share with you stories about his garden and have discussions about almost everything under the sky from conspiracy theories to places of interests around south east asia....
