    Downstairs rooms not very nice. Ask for upstairs.

    Perfect location, amazing views.

    Good hotel. The rooms are basic, but very clean and comfortable, and had good air con. The bathroom was fine too, with a good hot shower. There was just some slightly annoying plumbing from the sink that meant the floor was wet most of the time! The WiFi was non existent in our rooms, but it did work at the front of the property - I think they just need to get an extender. There's some instant coffee provided in the morning, but no breakfast - you can just go down the road to one of the many cafes for that though. Location is really good, directly on the bridge, and easy access to everything and there's also a nice riverside view. Overall really recommended - I think it's good value and significantly better than a lot of the places we saw in Nong Khiaw.

    Safety box would have been nice. Shower was located right next to the toilet presumably for the drainage which caused some slightly unpleasant odours

    Quickly checked in by the friendly owner after finding the guesthouse easily enough after a long bus ride from Luang Prabang. We were lucky enough to be given a room overlooking the riverside so were very happy. Room was large and comfortable and the beds were fine. No breakfast or meals were included but there was free tea and coffee available all day on the shared terrace which was a nice touch. Lots of eateries and tour agents within a few minutes walk and the whole town was great value for money. This guest house is all about the location which was perfect, very quiet at night and sunset and sunrise was stunning

    It was a decent choice and worth the money. We had a patio that looked out at the river. It was centrally located just next to the bridge over the river.

    Room service (cleaning) only upon request. Not a lot of attention to detail: toilet seat loose, weird stains on the wall and the cleanliness needs to be improved: massive water stains on the mirror in the bedroom, the bathroom wasn't very clean either (toothpaste and other stains on the mirror and the wall around the sink, a dead mosquito on one of the walls, sink has goo buildup that could easily be removed with cleaner and a little scrub), staff wasn't very visible around the property, and I think the lady used her own exchange rate, which was more expensive for me than the official exchange rate... So yeah.

    If you get a room with river view it is amazing. The room was spacious and had a balcony.

    Shower was fairly awkward. It wasn’t too warm and you have to take it off the wall to use as it isn’t attached to the wall properly and annoying if you’re tall.

    This property is in a great location with lovely views of the main bridge and all of the mountains. Only a minute walk to the main strip. Nice balcony with chairs to sit out in and enjoy. WiFi was good.

    Would like if the bathroom could be cleaned after staying a few days. Especially since it’s a wet room. That’s pretty much it though.

    If you’re able to get a room with a view of the river, it’s absolutely stunning. Especially on the second floor. Pretty basic facilities, but meets expectations. Amazing balcony, very comfy bed, great AC. Really enjoyed my stay, very relaxing!

    The bathroom smelled really bad unfortunately. It was very clean though.

    Really nice place to stay, a terrace with a perfect view over the river and mountains. Location was perfect with all shops and restaurants within 2 min distance. The room was spacious and very clean.

    No room cleaning during our whole stay however did give water and toilet roll.

    Great location, perfect view of the lake (if you’re facing outwards) and amazing value for money.

    Room 104: Bad stink from the sewer in the bathroom. What I didn't like at all is that there are 4 different categories of rooms but they all cost the same and you can't specify what room you want. So you are taking a gamble. Unfortunately the mattress was of the usual spring type instead of foam. The pillow was way too thick. Only a thin blanket, despite the cold at night. I asked for additional blankets and got them but they were also paper thin. The AC / Heating system only cooled but didn't warm the room. The water in the shower was only lukewarm. The balcony has no real partition, you see the people from the other 3 rooms if they are sitting outside. Some bamboo or fabric as a separation would be great for more privacy.

    Room 204: The room is nice and clean. The balcony has a good river view. Close to the boat jetty and next to the restaurants.

    Really nice little guesthouse with fantastic views over the river. It's right near the bridge so the best place to sit on the balcony and watch the boats go up and down the river. Would definitely stay here again, near to great restaurants and easy to book excursions.

    The A/C is located round a corner from the bed so doesn't work too well. The owner didn't have our booking and then tried to charge us 30% more than the price on booking.com, we refused and only paid the correct price once we had showed the price on our booking confirmation. Even after showing the price the owner kept trying to haggle.

    The room was a nice size and had a great view with its own balcony overlooking the river.

    Nothing really, sometimes staff hard to find. But they own the shop over the road so we worked out just to pop in there.

    Comfy beds. Great balcony. They provide water, coffee, tea and toilet paper everyday.

    Terrible smell in the bathroom. Guess it is the septic system and nothing they could do about it, but it was gagging!! Also, we needed to be given a third towel to wipe up the floor after showering. The splash everywhere shower is to be expected but it leaves the bathroom floor, and toilet, ect very slippery. Need to mop up afterwards. Hammocks outside the river view rooms would be really nice!

    Room was nice. Beautiful view of the river and a nice patio outside the room. Really appreciated the coffee set up for the morning. :)

    Pillows were too firm and thick - couldn't use them - used the cusion instead. Had to go looking for staff who were normally in the shop over the road. Room not serviced in a 5 day stay.

    The outstanding view from the upstairs rooms. Nothing short of spectacular! Balcony was excellent. Free tea & coffee (but no creamer). Hairdryer in the room. Room was a good size. Wi-fi was good. Location was good lots of restaurants and tour operators around or just over the bridge.
