I didn't like the bathroom inside the lodge didn't have a door and only had curtain.

This was the highlight of our trip to Laos. We ABSOLUTELY loved staying here. We had a beautiful wooden shack overlooking the river. The room was spacious clean and air-conditioning was a must and so appreciated. The owner was extremely friendly as were all of the family. The food was great, lovely simple breakfast. You can use kayaks as and when you want which was such an amazing thing. I would 100% recommend and would go as far as saying it's a MUST if visiting Laos. It really was magical. We also watched many sunsets and the most wildest thunder and lightning storm I've seen in my life. It was incredible.

It’s remote location, so you might like it or not. If you want to walk to the main road, it takes around 30 min from the hotel. The blue bungalow we stayed was a bit worn out. There is not door in the bathroom and there was a bit unpleasant smell. The menu is limited.

Next to the lake, so you have a pretty nice views from your balcony. The room was spacious enough. It’s a calm place where you relax few days. Free kayaks to paddle around. Breakfast was included the price and there was a restaurant so you didn’t need to go anywhere. The owner and the staff were really friendly and the owner helped to organize the taxi from Vang Vieng to hotel.

・after having dinner here, I suffered from stomach ache and diarrhea… ・the power went down a few times while using shower…couldn’t see anything under cold shower.

**Tip to getting here** •From vang vieng The bus offered by the city tour desk uses highway, so it does not stop at this resort. You need to take a local minivan, witch is located “minivan bus stop service“ on google map. Go there and say Tha Heua. I waited for 10min and a shared tuktuk came. paid 100,000LAK ※I left my carry case in Vang Vieng so it would be easier to move around. ※The road from VangVieng to Tha Heua is paved, but from Tha Heua to resort is not paved(1.5km). Although it looked quite stiff and flat. •To Vang vieng I waited on the main road on Tha Heua, after 20min, a shared tuktuk passed by and honked…paid 100,000LAK. ※ My next destination was Vientiane, but went back to Vang Vieng once, and took the tour bus. I think it’s easier and faster this way. Loun from Dokkhoun 1 tour desk was very helpful with figuring this out! Highly recommended

Nothing property was great The road leading up to the property is very bumpy and I would recommend you rent a decent moped or even an off roading buggy which you can hire from vang Vieng. Or message the owner and he can organise you a taxi :)

The room was amazing and very clean, the bath was super hot and had a perfect view of the lake from our balcony, was very magical especially at sunset. Had 4 nights here and we could have stayed longer, so relaxing. Hotel offers free kayaks which you can use to go to the local village in around 10 minutes.

Staying at Sunset Nam Ngum resort was a through and through wonderful experience. With two days left on our Laos trip, before heading on to Vietnam it was just the perfect getaway into nature. The lake is so peaceful and you can just sit on your porch the whole day and relax and watch the small boats go by. The cottage is beautiful, overlooking the lake and very private. The resort has up to 7 cottages - so it can never get crowded. The restaurant in the centre is a place where you can meet the other guests or just chill. The menu doesn’t have a huge variety, but everything we had was good. If you plan on staying for a few days, maybe get yourself some snacks, as the town and market are not so close and best reached by kayak ( which is provided to you free of cost) The family is very friendly, they leave you to yourself and spread a very chilled out and calm vibe . All in all a great experience of a getaway into a beautiful natural scenery, a place to calm down and rejuvenate, especially if you are travelling for a while !

Very minor but bedside lamps are always a nice touch :)

The most beautiful and tranquil place from the incredible sunset right on our balcony, to the stylish and rustic decor. The hosts were even able to accommodate our difficult dietary requirements! Cannot recommend more for a truly relaxing getaway.

Resort doesn’t have a huge menu, although what they did have was well cooked.

Amazing tranquil location on a beautiful lake with stunning sunset views. Very nice comfortable rooms. About 30 minutes walk from town where there are restaurants, otherwise you must eat at resort.

I had an amazing stay at Sunset Nam Ngum Resort! This charming lakefront hotel offers comfy rooms and a welcoming atmosphere. The owner is incredibly responsive to every request, he truly goes above and beyond! Kayaking on the lake was a highlight—absolutely breathtaking! Plus, the two friendly dogs on the property added an extra touch of warmth. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, I can’t recommend Sunset Nam Ngum Resort enough!

Stayed in October 2024

Since it’s quite hard to get to the place (and since in the hotel’s description a restaurant is mentioned) we were expecting to be able to have dinner in the hotel. Unfortunately that was not the case so we had to go by night to the nearest village which is a tricky way in dirt roads with potholes

Amazing view, very secluded place where you can be with nature. Free kayak to use in the beautiful reservoir. Breakfast included. Very cute dogs!

Stayed in September 2024

Some plastic bottles in the edge of the lake.

Relaxing and peaceful cabins along the lake. Unlimited access to the lake with kayak. Friendly owner. I really enjoyed my stay with my family and I will recommend.

Maybe it's due to low season, but would have been good if there were food options available. Or that owner had informed of the limited food options so that we could prepare some food/have lunch before heading over. Nearest town was 1.5km away on dirt roads. Transport out to town is not easy to get which makes food search hard.

Quiet, peaceful place. Hard to get there but its the reason why I love it! Not much people! Love the balcony where one could just chill and relax the day away. There are kayaks free for use anytime. Kayaking around the little islets was pretty fun! Managed to see a beautiful sunset and had some fun with the dogs!
