"If we had stayed longer, if it had not been nearly dark when we arrived, if it had not been raining while we were there, I would have given this rambling, multi-leveled hotel 5 stars. The property looks beautiful with flowers everywhere, fanciful lanterns, many thoughtful design touches (but many steps!) and, of course, the view of the river and the hills surrounding it are the "icing on the cake". Our room was absolutely huge. Good A/C, good lighting, big picture window looking towards the river. It had a small balcony with a bistro style table & chairs overlooking the Mekong & it was definitely unfortunate that it was raining and that we arrived here just as it got dark, because we could not spend any time on the balcony, although I liked seeing the lights of Pak Beng village twinkling in the dark night. The bathroom has beautiful, matching deep blue cups, trays and comes with blue PakBeng toiletries and accessories; the shower has a rain shower head, small white rocks below & a full sized window (with blinds) overlooking the balcony & the river. The bed was large, comfortable & had the softest and warmest comforter of all the hotels we were at during our 15 day walkabout in Cambodia, Laos & Thailand. Dinner in the restaurant was uninspiring; most likely because we were the only ones there at first. Because we were leaving before breakfast began the next morning, we were given a wonderful takeway bag, including cups of hot coffee, with eggs, rolls, fruit, jam & more. We were thankful for the tuk tuk transportation to & from the hotel to our boat & got a good laugh when the driver told us that the cows wandering on the nearby road usually end up wandering onto the hotel's property each morning, to the wonderment of its guests."

"À stunning place with breathtaking mountain views! The rooms are beautifully decorated. The breakfast is lovely. It’s very peaceful, and the staff are extremely attentive! We were a bit cold in the restaurant and in the rooms, but it was December—we should have asked for a heater!"

"This was be far the best hotel we stayed in Laos. The room was dreamy and like being in a film. Romantic, incredible views of the Mekong and a mind blowing sunset. It’s not luxurious but rather shabby chic. The only slight disappointment was the quality of the food but the rest of the hotel experience more than made up for this."

"This villa was amazing for the price, we had no idea what we were getting and were super satisfied after a long day on the slow boat. They picked us up from the jetty and also provided free breakfast, you could also preorder food for the next day. Room was very clean, very big bed and we were super stoked with luxuries like seperate shower and toilet, as well as towels. Definitely recommend"

"Comfy beds, clean enough bathrooms. 2 bathrooms for 10-15 bunk beds. Wouldn’t recommend if you are a light sleeper"

"Perfect location in Pakbeng !"
