"Went to stay at Mad Monkey for 3 days in the shared dorm for the doublebed room for couples. It was some lovely people and very helpful staf. It has happy hour for 4 hours a day, you get a free drink when arriving and they have aircon in the rooms. The rooms are still warm but feel quite private.
We enojyed the pool area, especially at night where you could look at the stars and swim around before going to bed.
Bathrooms and showers are shared and looks nice. Could be a bit cleaner for our...

"I spend two nights here at Y Not Lao. Even it's raining almost both days but the staff still suggested places to go. I love the view from shower room and comfy bed. :)"

The manager Mr. Thy and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. He booked an all day tour for us that I recommend. The free shuttle to town was convenient. He helped us to buy train tickets to Vang Vieng. You have a choice for daily breakfast that was very nice. The night we arrived they had a Christmas party with free food and drinks for guests. Only downside to stay was water for the shower and was not very hot.

Next to one of the only two bars in Pakbang which was great. Easy to access from the boat pier by walking. Phenomenal and large breakfast to fuel before day 2 of the slow boat.

This boutique hotel is perfect for solo travellers and couples. It is located alongside the river thus affording an easy and relaxing view of the Mekong, if you dont mind the low murmur of passing boats. A few steps across the street from the hotel is the terrace restaurant, the hotel's extension where breakfast is served daily. I think this is the main draw. One can just relax here and take in the fresh air while enjoying a drink. It is a front row seat to witness the daily flow of life in the...

Breakfast was the highlight. Al la carte menu with fresh fruit available. Staff were amazing. Rooms are a little small but that's expected given the excellent central location (away from the night market buzz but close enough to walk). Only negative is construction going on behind the property and dogs barking at night. All of these things are out of the control of the hotel however and I can't fault them for that.

Wonderful staff, all so very welcoming, friendly and helpful with everything we needed. A lovely room with private balcony, mini fridge, tea pot, amazing breakfasts with both Lao and western foods- lots of fruits! Bikes available to borrow, clean small swimming pool. River access. Beautiful landscape and easy access to city center via bamboo bridge ( except in monsoons). Love this place and will definitely return!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was cozy and exceptionally clean. Lots of things to do on the grounds. My room had a ceiling fan but no AC...not a problem right now but would probably not be the best option during hot season. Overall a great experience and I would definitely come again.

The location of the property is very unique as it is across a small river from the main town. You reach the town by a small boat or bamboo bridge. It gives the property a very relaxed and quiet ambiance.
