Best hotels & accommodations in Pakbeng

We had booked for one night - and as soon as we arrived and sat on the terrace watching the dramatic sky prepare for sunset over the stunning views of the hills and river, we immediately decided to stay an extra night. That was such a great idea as the Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge is such a comfortable and relaxing and well run hotel in a remarkable setting. A tip to trave...

We loved our stay in Pakbeng, even though we just stopped one night with the slow boat trip to Luang Prabang. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The owners were very nice and picked us up (for free) at the pier when we arrived with the slow boat. They offered us welcome drinks and prepared us sandwiches for the next day. The breakfast was delicious, we ha...

Traveling with family in Oudomxay province, we chose this hotel for our 4-night stay in Pakbeng, so we could relax and enjoy quiet time altogether. The location is amazing, benefiting from an exceptional viewpoint. The pool is a delight, the room is great (missing some seating furniture inside or on balcony) and the staffs are wonderful (smiling, caring). However, stan...

The hotel was very good and comes with mosquito nets which was excellent. The only downside is the lack of security. The Windows are just shutters with no glass and the locks on these shutters are just a small bolt type lock (similarly to a small toilet door lock) but I just didn't like leaving my stuff in there. I'm not sure if this was because we were paranoid as it ...

I was really not looking forward to this stopover having read numerous bad review of Pakbeng and the accommodations. We booked in advance despite people advising to get cheaper accommodation on arrival. We paid £20 for 1 night, yes it was over priced but we wanted a definite place to stay on arrival. However, there did appear to be loads of places offering beds for the...

We organised the slow boat trip from Chiang Mai but needed to organise accomodation ourselves for the stopover in Pakbeng. As we were travelling with kids I decided to do this in advance. However, it was unecessary to do so as there is plenty of accomodation at Pakbeng for a much cheaper rate and generally the stay in Pakbeng is only overnight, and so other options are...

Pak Beng is a one night stop over for those on the slow boat. The town caters accordingly. It’s a neat little place, better than Huay Xai if that was your starting point. The hotel was a bit overpriced for what it was ,but I presume they all are. We were picked up at the pier to our surprise (on the back of a truck) which was a nice touch. It,s a short walk down the hi...

we left the hotel after 5 min. after checking in, the room was extemely dark & dirty. no running water for toilet & the sink. only the shown was functioning with little water. the staff was unmotivated - there was no tourists in this hotel. so we found another hotel in pakbeng for less price mch better condition.

Not much choice in Pakbeng where all slow-boat rides stay overnight. The room was OK for one night but, as the whole building itself, it was in rather poor condition and badly needed some renovation. And I didn't appreciate the dirty tabče-clothes in the restaurant, although the food was Ok and they also affered take-away food for the second day on the boat. No fre bot...

Yes we pre-booked, yes we took the Slow Boat, and no we couldn't have been happier. We were met at the boat landing (last boat of the day) and given a ride to Phonemany, which is a walk uphill. Nice people, no hassle, and lovely room. We were in a private room, over the restaurant/bar, off the second floor balcony overlooking the Main Street in Pakbeng. Sounds like a r...

Traveler impressions of Pakbeng
Not much here! But we were sure happy to arrive after a long day on the slow boat. Would not have come here otherwise.
As far as I could tell there is not much to do in Pakbeng. The only reason most people overnight here is all of the slow boats traveling from Houay Xai to Luang Prabang have to stop for the night.
Tiny town en route to Bokeo or Luang Pra Bang via slow boat on the Mekong River. Probably not much here for the typical traveller, but I enjoyed the slow boat (though wish it was only 1 day instead of 2).
