Find Bungalows in Laos

River View Bungalows is located on the little island in the middle of Song river (behind Saysong Guesthouse but face directly with Song river & mountains). My sisters and I stayed in the Mountain River View room (Triple single bed), we can see the Song river and beautiful mountains from the windows. The room is very clean, not too small for three persons and well equipped with standard facilities. The staff & owner are also warm & friendly, they all can speak well English, Thai, and Lao. WIFI service is available at the restaurant and lobby area. (However, it would be better if the WIFI is avaiable from guestroom.) The breakfast is also very delicious and big enough to make you're full until dinner time!! We love it!! There is a Convienience Store in front of the guesthouse where you can buy the personnel care products, snack, beverage etc. Money exchange & Bus ticket to Vientiane & other cities is also available there with reasonable price. There are a lot of local & international restaurant around there. The outdoor activities such as Tubing, Canoeing, Kayking, Cruising, Bicycling etc. are also avaiable. The bungalow is very easy to find & close to everything. It seems that everyone there know this bungalow & Saysong Guesthouse (This bungalows is at the same place of Saysong GH (close to Tubing station). We think the bungalows is suitable for everyone who would like to have a rest or escape from the busy city. ชอบเฮือนพักหลายๆ .. จะกลับไปเยือนอีกแน่ๆ เด้อ!!

We spent 7 nights at the Luang Prabang Thongbay guesthouse during our wonderful family trip in Thailand and Laos. Thongbay is more than a guesthouse: being a hotel with a beautiful garden and thatched wooden bungalows, it is an oasis of kindness and relax in a romantic and quiet location along the Nam Khan river. We were in two different bungalows facing the river before and after our trip to Pakse, the first time in a pretty bungalow with one extra bed and one mattress for our younger child, and the second time although we did not book in advance, the staff was able to arrange for us an even prettier family bungalow with four beds. In both cases the bathroom was spacious and comfortable, and the terrace facing the river relaxing and quiet.The staff at Thongbay is the best you can imagine. With them, you feel like at home, the breakfast (à la carte) can be booked (including time) on a whiteboard at the reception the evening before, and it is served on the terrace by the nice ladies of the guesthouse.The staff is lovely with children - and with the parents as well.There is a regular free shuttle service to downtown and back, but a 20-minute walk on a secondary road easily bring you on foot downtown and back. We took this shortcut several times with a torch and we had no problems, even with children and stroller. Once a week the staff offers a trip at dawn to attend the ceremony of food offering for the monks. The Thongbay family has an own carpet close to the temple, and prepare sticky rice for the monks as all inhabitants of Luang Prabang. We will never forget Thongbay - never will our children. The guesthouse is held by a swiss-lao couple (not in Laos at the time of our visit) and the staff speaks good english. Keo, Vanh, Net, Thy and all Thongbay friends: we definitely hope to see you again!

This place was the perfect final stop in our Laos trip, to just unwind and relax in the mountains. We were collected from our previous hotel by the host, who was very welcoming, and we were driven up to the resort on the bumpy climbing road. On arrival, unfortunately the heavens opened for unusual wet few days in the middle of the dry season, which meant we were confined to indoor activities, so made use of the board games and took the time to snuggle up and read on the balcony of our bungalow overlooking the mountains. The views, even in the rain, were stunning. Food at the resort was good. Breakfast was very tasty, as was the morning coffee. We had the sandwiches for lunch, with french fries which were great. Highly recommend the red curry - delicious! Perfectly accompanied by red wine. The room was clean, well presented with rustic Laotian style. Wooden furniture, an 'outdoor' feel bathroom, and balcony with lounger. No wifi in rooms, just in the restaurant area, which was fine for us and great to escape online stuff for a while. The pool area looked lovely, although the weather prevented us from enjoying it, but we still managed to spend some time on the sofa area under the thatched roof gazebo, which was very tranquil and cosy in the cool weather. The hosts offered advice for various walking tours, which we did the short 30 min route (in a short break from the rain) up to a view point overlooking Luang Prabang, which was beautiful. Worth bringing some warm clothing for here as it can get cold in the evenings. We took the airport transfer for $25, which was an early start, and coffee was much appreciated! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are very grateful to our hosts. Perfect peace and quiet needed to relax before heading home. Thank you!

We loved our two night stay at Mahout Lodge in a spacious deluxe cabin (aircon) overlooking the lovely Nam Khan river. We wanted a nature experience (no tv or internet) after being in Luang Prabang and wanted to stay at a Loa-owned elephant lodge. It was a perfect quiet retreat with the added bonus of being able to hang out with the nine elephants without riding them or doing a mahout course and without lots of tourists around. Mimi is a fantastic host and a highly knowledgeable mahout who made us feel very at home and taught us so much about elephants. We were the only guests staying at the lodge so the menu in the restaurant was a bit limited but the food was fresh, delicious and cheap. I doubt there are many places in the world where you can wake up and see from your veranda several elephants come out of the jungle and cross the river!! A very memorable experience!! cabins are rustic, but clean, comfortable and good value, compared to the overpriced German-owned Elephant Village.

I could not give more credit to myself for choosing this place! But of course all credit goes to Banana Bungalow and its staff. They don't speak much English but are very helpful and will ensure you have a comfortable stay. The rooms are basic (which was all I needed) and more importantly, clean. I noticed there were rooms that had shared bathrooms and those that were en suite (mine was en suite), so be mindful of which one you choose depending on how picky you are. There's a spot outside for you to build a campfire which is great once the sun goes down as it can get a little chilly. You can be rest assured most guests will flock to the fire once its up and crackling. There are also two cute huts in the garden where you can have your coffee/tea/wifi and mingle with other guests (cups and spoons are there for your use but be sure to wash up after). The location of this place is fantastic! You get the view of the hills on one side and the river on the other. Everything happens here, so its a great place to stay. I definitely recommend it to the non-5-star-hotel travelers.

Don Khon is a laid back island where we extended our stay to while away even more nights. We moved to this hotel because it had air conditioning and good wifi (for Laos). While significantly more expensive than our previous accomodation the free breakfast and feeling of security offset the difference considerably. The owner and team here are friendly and helpful. The management team are effective, attentive and efficient especially by Laos standards. We didn't feel the need to complain, but was disappointed that the two times we got our laundary back it was damp and therefore we needed to hang out to dry on our veranda. Only a small thing and not a reflection on the rest of the service. Efficient and polite housekeepers clean and restock your room daily with water and towels (if you need them). We would highly recommend this hotel if you have the budget, it is an excellent option for whiling away lazy days in relative comfort.

I cannot say enough good things about this resort. initially, we thought it was a little far from town and a huge portion of the path leading to the resort is still under construction so that put us off a bit. BUT I was and still am very glad that we made it there because it is sooooo worth it! it's breathtakingly beautiful. we felt relaxed almost instantly the minute we stepped in. the resort staff were all kind, attentive and smiley. so was the dog, Copain. she's such a warm and playful dog. haha. after enjoying our welcome drinks, we were led to our bungalow, Harmonie. it was nice of the staff to help out with our luggage. the room's everything we thought it would be and MORE! we enjoyed the view and peace and the starry night and had hot tea to warm up. oh the stars looke so bright that night! we had fresh spring rolls for supper and we must say they were the best spring rolls we have tried during our Laos trip! my craving is all back as I type this haha we had simple yet delicious breakfast by the ecological pool (impressive!) the next morning. and also play time with Copain. haha. took a walk around the resort and were completely in awe with the natural beauty all around. you guys did a great job preserving and conserving the surroundings. please keep it up! and being my forgetful self, I left my backpack that stored all our important travel documents. I was a little devastated with myself when I realized that and it was too late 'cause we were already back in town centre! thankfully enough, the hotel owner and manager made some arangement to deliver my bag to me in a matter of two hours only! I would like to mention special thanks to who rode his motorbike all the way to town to pass my bag to the receptionist of my guesthouse. he was even sweet and accountable enough to give me a call to make sure that I have received it. this is what I would call as superb, impeccable service. thank you so muuuuch!

We arrived at the location and our room was unavailable and they instantly moved us to an upgrade until ours was available the day after. although it was a bit of a pain moving again the day after it wasnt a hassle and we had a private bathroom for the day so i felt more comfortable to shower. we expected the shared bathroom to have cold water but this wasnt the case. the wayer was hot and the bathrooms were cleaned daily. There was usually no toilet paper but if you asked reception they will happily give u a roll. we hored a bike from there too at 60,000kip for the day it was a bargain compared to the rest of Lao. the bike was washed for us before we used it and the staff were great! id stay again!

We stayed four nights at the Pan's Bungalow and had a really pleasant stay. Our bungalow was clean, well-furnished and air-conditioning was working perfectly. Mosquitoes net was impeccable and bed very comfortable. The strong point of this place was the balcony/terrace where we chilled in our hammock and long-chairs overlooking the Mekong river. It is a really a peaceful and quiet place. WiFi signal very strong and reliable (the best we had in one month in Laos). Breakfast was included and pretty delicious with a choice among four set menus. Juice was fresh, coffee was good and the baguette was excellent. They even accepted to offer us a glass of milk when I was not able to drink any tea or coffee. Staff was nice but we didn't really interact with any members, except upon check-in. Location is perfect, on Don Khon Island, very close to many restaurants. We definitely recommend this lovely place.

This accomodation was one of our favourite in 6 months in SEA. the property is located at a river where you can swim and watch the locals fish, the sounds at night are amazing and you have the impression of being in the jungle. The bungalow is basic, but clean and the bed was really comfy. The restaurant serves good food, even though a bit pricey. The Lao curry is the best (45k)! I absolutely recommend this place!

After the long cold day riding a boat from Thai border, Mekhong Riverside Lodge is giving you something to look forward to. The room is very nice with spacious balcony where you can just sit and relax while enjoy the river view.. It is just 2-minute walk from the pier. Its restaurant serves the best indian food ever (it also has Thai and Lao food) I am not so crazy about the breakfast but I would highly recommend this place. The staffs are very nice. And after 7-hour boat trip, this is exactly what you need.

Great stay overall if you book transportation from the guest house to somewhere (we were traveling to oudomxay) you might want get quotes from several other places to compare prices. We booked a mini bus (Note that a mini bus is NOT a minivan) tour to oudomxay for 100.000 kip / person thinking it is a mini van. The only english speaking staff member was not around, and so communication with the staff was difficult. We arrived at the bus station and our tuk tuk driver bought our two tickets for 60000 kip each and left. Our bus was so small that we could not fit in the seats and had to sit sideways with our legs in the aisle. The 80000 kip for the tuk tuk drive to the bus station was overpriced - You should be able to get a ride there for around 30000. It was a fun trip all around, but we felt a little ripped off booking through the hotel. Everything else at the hotel, from the beds to the breakfast, was worth the cost and was wonderful.

This was the highlight of our visit to Laos. Our only wish was that we had booked more than the two nights. My husband kept muttering "paradise" and the kids were addicted to swimming in the cascades next to the lunch hut. We had village kids come and play with them in the water. We loved watching everyone from the village come down in the late afternoon to wash and bath. Beautiful scenes, amazing photos. I just wish we were back there. There are only a few huts available and they are the only guest house in the area. The huts are rustic but very cosy and comfortable. We had an enormous bamboo bed with a comfy mattress. There is only a ceiling fan but it was very cool overnight so it wasn't needed.

Located a bit outside noisy centre of Vieng Vang gives you perfect condition to relax. Napha villa provided tuk tuk service with centre so when ever you want you have free conection with party and shopping area. Resort is in very good condition, very friendly crew and beautifull view which you can observe soaking drink i a swimming pool. There is noise from traffic, no dust here as in the centre so we had good time and already thinking to come back. Restaurant prepared for us delicious food and served as an art. Owner very helpfull with EVERYTHING...simcard arrangment, medicine and explenation of all ammusments around. You can order from reception all activities like tubing, kayaking, trecking etc and adventure company pick you up from here. In general we had amazing time here. Thanks Mario

We slept here for tree nights in the cold season. The first night it was so cold, we could not sleep. The next day we asked for another blanket, after that we slept okay (the bed is hard with springs). At this moment this is the only nice place to stay in Muang Singh I think. There is a garden, the room is big and there is a restaurant with good food (especially if they have bbq on the menu). You can walk to this place from the busstation and they have a tour operation (but for us it was to expesive). The real downsite are the Aka ladys, they try to sell you all kinds of stuff and they are a bit rude.

We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise. The bungalow was spacious and comfortable. The free breakfast was amazing! Big portion of pad Thai and free bread, bowl of fruit and juice - was a great way to start the day! Don’t have many comments in terms of improvement other than our drain clogged a bit and we only had cold water in the room. They have a few dogs there which are lovely however one of them chose to stay outside our room on the balcony (very sweet) except would get into barking fits with the other dogs during the night and woke us up a few times during our stay. Not a big deal, but just letting people know it could happen.

Excuse me for gushing, but I really enjoyed my stay at Eco Lodge. To be just a minute's walk from enjoying the river without all the tourist trappings and club music was a joy. The Lodge's restaurant looks onto the river where local people gather in low numbers, mostly in the early evening, to wash themselves, their clothes, and the kids. There is the occasional kayak. When you really want a piece of the river for yourself just drift downstream a little. The mountain views are stunning. Everything worked in the cabin, which is completely wooden but clean. The proprietress catered to my vegan diet with some of the tastiest food I have had in a while. Wifi is strong at the 'lobby' and was functional in the cabin. Eco Lodge is 7 km straight from Vang Vieng. There is a sign posted on the road about 1km after a local swimming spot/bridge. Best money I spent in Laos.

Khoun and Khone always get the best reviews and there is a reason for this. A stay at their guesthouse (bungalows) is not yet another stay at a guesthouse but a possibility to get a little bit closer to the family life in Laos. You will feel as taking part in the extended family but with as much privacy as you like. Khone cooks the most delicious Lao food and Khoun is a good information source and always excited about everything. The short trip to the town in their military jeep is a memorable thing. The bungalows are set in a beautiful garden and have been renovated in 2012 and have now large windows letting lots of light into the bungalow.

this was the best place I stayed on my trip to laos! It was a phenomenal room with a lovely deck and just a huge room! It's about a little bit out of town off the main road but well worth the 2-3 minute walk to stay here! It's one of those hotel rooms you just want to hang out in all day. The staff for a quiet but a tentativeI think everyone should experience this place!

arrived there, gave the owner my voucher, he then denied having ever heard of agoda, so he went to check emails, at the end of my stay on the islands I was accosted by a few locals demanding payment for the room. which I duly paid again as I really didn't want to see what might happen if I didn't..... when I contacted agoda the owner had told them what he had charged me, which agoda all credit to them quickly refunded, it didn't make for a pleasant end to my time there...

This place -the best choice for people who like calmness and hospitality and for family with kids. Family who running this place and all staff especially girl name Tip - they are just the best . I didn't see a long time so great hostes. They are very kind, smiling all the time and try to help you with everything. Bungalows are really great , have everything you need, very cozy. Amazing place, highly recommend.

True laotian experience, we stayed 2 nights. Ideal for groups, we negotiated breakfasts and dinners by shared laotian style for flat rate. Owner, Mr. Len, runs Ethnic Travel Laos company (opposite to Dokchampa hotel in LN), so any kind of outdoor activity is available from here. We did 1 day trek through primary forest in NP with swimming in Nam Lang at the end. We cycled to Dokchampa bungallows from LN along excellent LN Valley Route (about 25 km with many detours), no guide necessary. Len took our luggage from his office in LN for free and returned our bikes to Zuela GH for reasonable fee. He even provided his private 12 seater van for a tranfer to Luang Prabang for the price of bus ticket (1,3 mil kip for 11 people) . I will be back with another group for sure.

Beautifully located at the river with lots of green, relaxing chairs, hammocks et cetera, all facilitated with enough plugs for your electronic devices. Dorms had 2 bunk beds (4pax) with mosquito nets. Very comfortable. There were also a couple of dogs wandering around, including 2 young pups who were adored by all the guests. I think the proprietor is a Frenchman. If you're looking for a cheap, quality hostel, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, yet on walking distance, then look no further. Fan Dee Lodge also has bikes and motorbikes for rent and excursions & bus tickets can be booked at the reception.
