    Quite loud in the evening. Communication difficulties with the staff, but they are very helpful. There could be more storage space in the bathroom and a light next to the bed.

    Spacious and clean bedrooms. Balcony is accessible for everyone. Central location. Scooter rental, laundry, and tour booking without problems. Breakfast is okay.

    Quite a bit of noise from outside bars, depends which room you get. Bed wasnt very comfortable (lots of springs!) and very basic bathroom.

    Staff were helpful with booking transport and activities while we there, and even moved me to a different room when i struggled with the noise! Bikes can be rented from them too fairly cheaply. Rooms are basic but do the job.

    The minivan they booked me to Vientiane turned out to be a full sized bus, but not really a problem. A wasp flew into bathroom cause the screen does not cover all the window, lucky it didn't sting me. (May have been an Asian hornet, not sure)

    Everything was great.

    The bed and pillows were a bit hard for us. There were gaps where the windows didn’t quite close properly in our room, so we did have a few mosquitoes. We had a top floor room at the back and it was quite noisy from the bars. Luckily most nights they didn’t go on much past midnight.

    We ended up staying here for 11 nights after we got a nasty case of food poisoning from a nearby sandwich stall. We extended our stay twice with no issues. Staff are friendly. Breakfast was always tasty and filling and is a choice of various egg or noodle options plus fresh fruits, fruit juices and sometimes cake. Water, tea and coffee were always available and we got small bottles of water in our room too. The fridge was great and the air con and fan both worked fine. The location was great and ideally situated to walk to any of the bars and cafes on the Main Street. They asked if we wanted our room cleaned every day and fixed a leaky shower for us, and happily gave us extra pillows too. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

    The room decor such as wallpaper and curtains were a little outdated and would benefit from an upgrade. This would not put me off staying again and I o my make this comment to justify my facilities score

    The attention from the front of house staff was excellent. Very clean room

    It was all great! If I really had do mention something, maybe they could add a smaller light in the room as it only has the main one which was too bright.. small detail, doesn’t really matter

    Everything! Friendly and helpful staff, nice room (better than it shows in the pictures) and lovely location very close to the heart of everything and the river but also tucked away in a quiet corner. Breakfast was sufficient and there was dispenser for potable water at all times -for free- which is highly appreciated

    The property was old and needs some TLC. There are TVs but not working. We were well away from the loud bar across the street so this didn’t impact us but I can see how it could.

    Great location, friendly staff and the room was spacious & spotless. Booked a buggy through them and was great.

    The exchange rate is fixed at 21 000 kips for 1$ and the right rate was 21 600 kips. We booked the room in us so we had to pay 8$ more. Also they have tourism tours but they take 100 000 kips more than the local place that we did the tour with that was located 400m from the hotel. They had a communication problem with the company so we end up doing not the right tour! Probably not hotel fault but that was a day full of surprises.

    Close to all the importante place in town but it’s a small town. Breakfast is simple but ok.

    Highly recommended - the owner is really nice. He booked my train ticket as well as my tour to the caves & lagoon. The shower is strong - the bed quite hard (but I like this). The breakfast offers different options, I liked the omelet and loved the fresh fruits and the watermelon juice. Location is great - close to the river and the night market.

    Nothing. It was appropriate value for the money.

    How clean it was. This was the cleanest place I stayed at in Thailand or Laos. It was also away from from rowdy backpacker hostels.

    We had a great stay at Maylay Guesthouse! The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. The showers had great water pressure and were warm. Breakfast was really good, it included a hot meal (6 options to choose from), many fruit options, and coffee/tea/juice. They also had a free water bottle refill station which was very appreciated. The location was fantastic, really convenient for walking around Vang Vieng with lots of food options nearby, but on a quieter side street from the main roads. The hosts were very kind and helpful with showing us a variety of transportation and tour options and helping us book. Overall, would definitely recommend staying here!

    This guesthouse is in an amazing location and the family who run it are so kind and helpful. They asked us daily if we needed anything for the room, offered laundry services and helped us book transport and activities. The breakfast had a large selection of fruit, eggs and noodles. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best it could possibly be. We absolutely loved this place and are sad to leave because we enjoyed it so much. The room was so spacious the beds were huge, and their facilities were amazing. I highly recommend staying here.

    In our twin room, one bed had a very comfortable mattress and the other one an old one. I guess they’re changing mattresses little by little :)

    Great location, very friendly owners, we could do laundry and book our bus tickets and kayaking with them at a good price. Breakfast had delicious fruit and omelettes. Thank you!

    Sound insulation is as expected at this price level

    Great location in the centre. Hot shower, nice breakfast with coffee, fresh fruit every day and choice of cooked eggs or noodles etc. Hot water on tap if you have tea bags or coffee with you. They organise any tours and transport and scooter hire at the same price as everywhere else. Vang Vieng can be noisy at night for light sleepers. Rooms are big and the aircon is good. Bed is also very big and comfortable, you can ask for more pillows. Staff are very nice and very helpful. They did our laundry too.
