We spent 2 nights in Kingfisher Ecolodge and our stay was very great. Our bungalow was very nice and very confortable with a beautiful view. The ecolodge's staff is friendly. We did with us the tour "elephant jungle safari" : a day in the jungle on elephant with picnic - very good !
To enjoy nature, nice landscapes and quiet area, Kingfisher Ecolodge is a very good place !

This is a lovely romantic lodge! Each room is self contained up on stilts, very private, and beautiful. The rooms have romantic four poster beds with mosquito netting, and there is a porch with a hammock overlooking a rice field and a marsh. We saw a plenty of birds, butterflies, buffalo, and even an elephant grazing. The lodge can arrange for you to go on treks and elephant rides. I took the mahout training and found it to be a marvelous experience with No, my guide and trainer. "Driving" around town and through the jungle is an unforgettable experience. The restaurant is is very pleasant, looking over a huge koi pond. The staff is lovely and helpful, the owners are very friendly, and the food is delicious.

We had great expectations of this place, based entirely on reviews we had read. It was nice, but not a highlight of our trip, as we had predicted it would be. The staff were polite and sometimes helpful, but not overly friendly. The rooms were appropriate for a couple, but as we were a travelling party of 3, we asked for a room for 3 adults, and what we were given was a double bed and an additional bed that would probably be more appropriate for a 6 year old. It just put a bit of a dampener on what would have potentially been an excellent stay. The food in the restaraunt was excellent, and the restaraunt staff very lovely. We saw the elephants in the field once while we were there. We are happy that we visited the ecolodge, but honestly, we left feeling a little disappointed.

We stayed here in January for three nights in the dry season to enjoy the real Laos - jungle trekking, elephant trekking, mountain biking, wildlife and total peace and quiet. Comfort bungalows on stilts had ensuite, basic lodges on stilts had shared facilities, very clean, nearby. No air con, but fans, in temperatures of 35 degrees (30 at midnight) and high humidity - and this made our 55k bike ride and jungle trek somewhat challenging. Drank 4 litres of bottled water per day.
Staff very obliging and food good with an Italian influence as owners are Laotian/Italian.
Wildlife disappointingly limited, but flora much more interesting than fauna.
