The woman at reception was so kind and helpful after I had bad food posioning(travelling solo). She made me ginger tea and gave me essential oils which greatly helped. 😁 She was friendly towards everyone and seemed to know everyone by name which was a nice touch.

Bláithín Ireland

Amazing staff, lovely hostel, excellent food. Perfect!

Kirsty United Kingdom

The atmosphere is like a family. Since only 8 beds available, the smaller group makes it feel like Home.

Tim United States of America

Perfect for the gibbon experience - office across the street. They have helped me with the night bus after the gibbon and the staff was very nice. Good breakfast. Fun that the rooms are small and u have curtains and light.

Leehe Israel

This hostel was very clean and comfortable, a perfect place to stay before and after the Gibbon Experience as they are located right across the street from the office. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. They really go out of their way to make sure you have everything you’d need for the journey. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Alissa United States of America

We stayed at little hostel crossing the Thailand border into Laos for one night before we caught the slow boat. It was clean, the staff were friendly and the beds were excellent. The best night sleep we had in weeks. It was quiet and the perfect location, although there is not much going on in Huayxin.

Kara Canada

Noke is great! She is caring, informative and helpful. I forgot a piece of my gear there and she found it, remembered where I was going and arranged for another backpacker to bring it to me.

Gad Israel

The room was clean, and the shower and toilet were clean as well. The lady who worked in reception was very nice and helped us purchase tickets to the slow boat in a fair price. Very close to the gibbon experience.

Eyal Israel

Great accommodations for an overnight stay - very clean and owner is incredibly friendly (she also speaks excellent English). Communication before arrival was very helpful, saved me money when bargaining for tuk tuk from bus station because I was given expected cost which was over half what I was initially offered. Restaurant next door had amazing food for dinner. This hostel is very close to pier and they had the best prices for slow boat. I heard a lot of not so great things from people on the slow boat about where they stayed so I was very happy that I booked here.
