A lot to improve for the owners.
No phone connection in the room, very dangerous because the reception is about 5 min walk up-hill from the room. Not 1 single TV station in the entire resort. Lots of ants in the room and at the wall by the bed, they walk over the bedsheets during the day and the night. Not enough lecture and no newspapers.

The biggest disappointment on our trip
The location is stunning - 7 villas set in the jungle on a slope above the river Nam Kamh. The rooms are spacious with a large balcony looking out over the river.

This was the most expensive place we stayed during a five week trip in South east Asia and it was a huge disappointment. There was a complete lack of anything that could be defined as hospitality and the standard of service provision was very poor in every respect. We discussed all our concerns with the owner who appeared not to be bothered. This was terriboe value for money - do not be seduced by the location.

It was better than I had expected, even after reading the reviews. The quality and range of food was excellent. The service was very good. The setting, views and design of the rooms was amazing. Loved the outdoor shower. Plenty of activities available and everyone was friendly and happy.

All quiet at the river bank
Super service with a smile. The whispering sound of silence. Delicious food. A splendid room.

We only stayed one night, during our Elephant Park Experience; this should have been longer! The lodges are splendid, all with a beautiful river view. The management had a very problem solving attitude concerning a booking discussion, and gave proof of the best service attitude possible. All staff members were friendly and helpful. So, we regretted to have booked only for one night in this resort, and advice you to stay at least a few days here.

Excellent service and relaxed atmosphere
management, staff, garden

Before arriving I had an extensive email correspondence with the manager about activities during our stay and lodging request (calm bungalow). Rapid and clear responses.
Once arriving we were well received and had three very nice days. It worked out very well with our child, at the time 9 months. We could even have nice calm dinners as the staff happily took care of the child while eating.
We took part in two well-arranged outings: one combined hike and kayaking (without the child), and a second combined village visit, boating and Taed Sae. Both are recommended.

Peaceful haven - very restful
Spacious bathrooms, good restaurant on-site
8.3
Located 30-40 minutes away from the town of Luang Prabang, Lao Spirit Resort is a great place to stay for those who have already seen most of Luang Prabang, and wish to enjoy a peaceful respite in the jungle. The architecture of the bungalows is beautiful, and each has a private deck facing out to the river - suitable for those long afternoons spent reading or doing nothing. Don't expect any wifi reception in the bungalows though - you have to go to the reception area itself for that, or a certain part of the restaurant.
The on-site restaurant is pretty good, and offers a variety of Lao favourites and a few Thai-inspired dishes at reasonable prices.
The reception even provides yoga mats upon request!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Lao Spirit Resort offers various kinds of activities/treks, as well as a wonderful massage experience.

Very nice experience, good rooms, tasteful bathrooms, well-kept garden, good food and wonderful service in organising hikes, excursions and transport.
Ideal to relax, enjoy nature and have a quiet week-end with a bit of luxury. Nice atmosphere, very family and child-friendly. Stunning views at the river or the mountains around.

Very very quiet setting but not much to do
7.3
We stayed here after 2 days in the town. It is very quiet, and it's a long way from anything, so be prepared for a quite stay. If you want peace and quiet, then this is the place for you. If you want the interaction of people, like we do, then it's not for you. There are only 6 cabins on site, and you only ever meet at breakfast, lunch or dinner. The resturant is open all day, so you may not see anyone when you go for your meal.
The rooms are. Very comfortable, and the shower under the stars is amazing. You can have an outside shower und the stars, and it's truly magical. The bath is not very good. It takes a very long time to fil, as he pressure is low, so it's not really practical to have one, unless you have time on your hands.
Their is a Geko that lives between the rood void of number 1 cabin. It's very nosiey, and ocean be a little freighting, if you don't know what it is. You soon get use to the sound though, and you may never see it anyway. It's actually quite endearing aftter a while.
I is near the river, so make us yo put on mossie protection. We went on a 4km trek, which was enjoyable but hot. Ensure you have long trousers for the trek and protect your arms from the hear and nettles.
Its a great place to chill out and do nothing. The food at the resturant is not too bad, but if like us, you are veggie, then the choice is a bit limited.
Overall though, good stay, although lacked atmosphere.
