Fantastic English speaking owner; clean and spacious,, lovely location surrounded by fields,”
Ban Kong Lor is THE place to stay if visiting Tham Kong Lor (cave). Incredibly quiet and isolated village location. The actual village (behind the run of guesthouses on the "main" road is leafy and offers up to 20 Homestays, nearly all of which did not seem to have guests when we were there. The river behind the village is a must-walk in morning or evening. However if you prefer western comforts, then Chantha House offers fantastic big rooms and great outdoor dining area surrounded by working fields which was a big plus in the evening. Owner speaks excellent English and is very helpful and accommodating. All the staff (think part of the one family) very attentive. Beds are bit springy and bathroom was clean but little small (but only in context of all the other big features the GH offers). Breakfast served from 6.30am which allows enough time to catch the 7am local bus to Route 13/Vientiane, which will pick you up outside Chantha House- bus sleeps o/n in village (arrives 5pm).

Best in KongLor.”
Very nice guest house. Konglor is beautiful calm village and my stay at Chantha made it memorable. Pros Clean rooms/bathrooms Location (15 min walk to KongLor) Reasonable price. (cheaper) Stay and food. Restaurant (Make against order so hot n fresh) Terrace for relaxation or timelapsing the sunset across the mountain. Awsome Staff. Cons Nothing much. But I would say just for improvement. Remove the mold( common in humid climate) in main hall above the dining area. Surely there are others areas inside and outside. If anyone allergic to dogs three are two pet dogs which are adorable. please let the owner know don't allow it inside the lobby. He would be happy for that. There is bus starting from near by Chantha at 7 am to Vientiane. That's the only bus else take Songtel to Nahin. I recommend this place for sure Deserve a 5 star. As I said 1 star die. for the improvement they can be considered.

Charming and a 1km walk to the cave of Kong Lor”
the guest house is not in the town it is listed in but a much better location - a 1km walk from the kong lor cave, set in a beautiful valley. it was only a one night stay, but waking up and opening the window to see the wide flat valley full of fields of cultivation with farmers tending the crops and all surrounded by beautiful mountains with fresh clean air - a wonderful morning experience. the guest house is clean, convenient and simple, modern and all of polished wood. very charming!

Nice and cheap”
I stayed at the Chantha House for one night to go to Kong Lor Cave the next morning. The room was fine and quite clean and there is an incredible view on rice fields and mountains. Considering the cheap price, the rooms were absolutely fine. However, the person I stayed with had bed bugs in her bed, which was, well, not that comfortable. Contrary to other things I read before, the staff was very friendly and helpful. And at least the one person we spoke to most of the time was quite good in English.

Basic rooms but with all ammenities you need for s stop to visit Kong Lor Cave or the surroundings mountains. Soundproof is very poor but I guess you wont find a guesthouse with good soundproof in all Laos

Went there to visit the Kong Lor caves”
Just stayed overnight for the caves visits. Important to check how to return from the area: we came from Vientaine, the bus gets at Kong Lor in the afternoon (too late to visit the caves), and returns to Vientaine next day at 7:00AM, therefore you have no public trandportation to get off from Kong Lor until the next day. We had to return the same day, a local van took us to the next village but it was a nightmare to return to Vientaine, we spent the whole day jumping from tuk-tuks to buses until reaching Vientaine.

Excellent hotel. Highly recommended”
Have nothing but praise for the hotel. Great location only 1km from the amazing Konglar cave, great and well priced food and very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended to anyone staying in Konglar (it so worth the effort getting there!)

Excellent value”
Great place to stay for the visit to KongLor caves and the surrounding area. Rooms were okay, had hot water. Food was basic but really good and great value (not much else on offer in KongLor village) Staff were friendly and helpful at all times.

Great service ”
Through no fault of the guest house the electricity supply was cut during the night, so fans and air conditioning was not functional. Without any prompting, my room fee was discounted. The host was incredibly friendly and efficient and spoke English very well. Fully recommend this guest house.

Good English Speaking Manager”
The manager of this guest house speaks good English which is VERY helpful as most of the villagers around do not. Also the guesthouse restaurant has very good sized "clean" (meaning you are not likely to get sick) meals.

Too expensive for a small Lao village”
We were the only guests in the hotel the night we arrived. Our room was decent but the staff didn't give us the AC remote. Granted we paid only for a fan room, but de were the only ones, we had paid 20 USD for a night (3 times the price of the other guest houses in the village) and our fan was broken. Even with window protections our room was filled with small bugs in the evening. We found that the floor under the bed was not clean at all (we found a lot of dust and an ear cleaner). The breakfast is not included, even for the expensive price. The Konglor cave is at the opposite side of the hotel (20-30 mins walking distance). Way to expensive for the accommodation.
