to get started.

Mandala Ou was a fabulous find! Recommended by Lonely Planet, and backed up by comments from locals that we were staying in the “nicest hotel in town”. We loved our chill stay here. Nick and staff were wonderful. The room cost was quite a bit higher than others but our bungalow was fabulous , the food excellent, the views serene, and the pool was wonderful to relax around. We highly recommend staying here for a little pampering in your travels!

The drain in our shower was slow so it flooded the bathroom daily, but that’s a fix not a real complaint.

Small, boutique guesthouse with wonderfully relaxed eating and pool & bar area overlooking the Ou River at the south end of Nong Khiaw. Kenny, Nick and the rest of the staff are unobtrusively attentive and very helpful.

The bed was probably the worst bed I've slept on in 20 years of travel. Due to the thatch roof, there is a constant amount of dirt falling from the ceiling. There was dirt in our bed the first night. Be prepared to get to know your partner on a whole new level due to the lack of doors / ceiling in the bathroom
The staff are AMAZING! Public areas and the setting are beautiful. The bungalow housing is also very unique.

There was a kind of dust falling from the ceiling and spiders web not removed... Swimming pool is very nice but too cold at this period... Bath towel : we asked to borrow one bath towel from the swimming pool for our waterfalls trek but it has been refused because sometimes it seems that they are not given back. A kind of deposit could fix this issue and be helpful for the customer who doesn't need to bring his own towel...
Nice view on the mountains and the river. Restaurant is very good (especially the mango sticky rice). Quiet place... We left very early and a breakfast bag has been done for us which is very nice.

We had a lovely bungalow with views of the river, the breakfast was exceptional - lots of organic produce on offer, and the pool in the afternoon was our favourite spot, especially with a cold BeerLao. There was a yoga retreat on when we were there but the manager made sure we weren’t adversely impacted by their group activities. Looking forward to returning.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Loved it!
Love, love, Loved this place! Stayed here for 4 nights - wished we had stayed longer! Beautiful, serene setting, wonderful, friendly and informative staff (Wan is awesome!) food is delicious, pool is refreshing. Great location, use free bikes to get around. Respectful use of local resources, local jams etc and provision of flasks to reduce plastic, room cleaned while at breakfast - it’s the small things that make big difference. Can’t fault this place. Would go back in a heartbeat!

They neglect to tell you that like several pools in that area that it’s only a foot deep. If that and the location doesn’t bother u it’s great. Also the rooms are VERY dark

A wonderful place to stay to explore this part of Laos. Sitting on the banks of the river, the area's quiet and unspoilt, and the view is idyllic. Kenny and Nick couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. We loved it and would thoroughly recommend it.
