    It rained in the evening. Nothing to do with the hostel, but there's nothing else I can complain about

    Everything.

    noise from the street, bathroom quite strange, but for hostel and the money paid - all ok

    It`s a hostel, everything very basic but with soul. Super close to Gibbon Experience. Nice breakfast and staff.

    Our bed made noise everytime we moved. The window needs a better curtain and there's always light coming in from the common room.

    The hostel is super clean and there's a lovely rooftop with a nice view to the Mekong river and Thailand. The staff is responsive too.

    The bathrooms were a bit gross and my bed was very dusty.

    Staff were friendly and helpful, they helped me to organise my slow boat and find an ATM when the ones across the street didn’t work. The breakfast and takeaway lunch were perfect too.

    I hate taking off my shoes all the time, but remember where you are. Not a hotel issue.

    A room with your own bathroom, but I could have survived sharing too. Great view, friendly staff, and very tasty breakfast.

    My bedsheet was very dirty, obviously hadn't been changed. Blanket and pillow seemed fresh though. We arrived late with the slow boat and checked in at around 6 pm and took a hot shower. Weird was that the front desk closed before 7 pm so we had to book a bus and breakfast to Chiang Rai at another hostel close by.

    Staff was very friendly and spoke good English. Hostel has a great rooftop facing Mekong with happy hour. Really good, powerful hairdryer. Towels provided. You can walk to hostel from slow boat pier 15-20min.

    The private room could’ve used some hangers on the wall or 1-2 more mini shelf’s just to have some place to put things, otherwise this place is beautiful and I could see the owners put their love and care into it.

    Stayed here for 2 nights, one night in a private room and one in a dorm, both nights were great and relaxing. The rooms are clean and the beds were good. Staff was super friendly and helpful and the rooftop terrace was my daily hangout spot and even great for a morning yoga sesh. Surrounding area has some cute little bars and places to see.

    They’re able to arrange onward transport and speak excellent English. Room is clean with no bugs. Everything you need for Huay Xai.
