        Overpriced and not well maintained”

        We stayed here for two nights. The room was close to clean, but the facilities were not well maintained. The bathroom was old, the head of the shower fell off every time we showered and there were exposed electrical wires directly next to the shower. When entering the building it smelled like pee. The staff did not really care about us. The location is good, but you probably get better service for the same money elsewhere.

        Pros: it’s in the center of town, but to be fair so is everything else. It is pretty cheap Cons: The worst WiFi I think I’ve ever used Dirty rooms that smell like mildew Bathrooms not clean I was in an interior room with no balcony and the only window faced the corridor. Staff was inattentive and disinterested Common areas were cluttered and dirty, staff was usually sleeping on one of the couches in the common room. Overall, it is a cheap place that is not very well ran or taken care of. Would not reccomend.

        the room was a little bit pricey for a guesthouse in vang vieng, but you get what you pay for. for per night i got a private double room with an amazing riverfront view, fan, aircon and ensuite bathroom, all of which was clean and everything worked. the room had large windows on two sides and a balcony that overlooked the river. also a great breakfast is included in the price. i definitely recommend this guesthouse.

        Comfortable Guesthouse in a Central Location”

        Views, Location, Price

        Having just got off the bus in Vang Vieng, we were keen to get to our accommodation ASAP, we found Popular View quite easily and found check in was a breeze! Do ask for a river view room though, we did and sat on the balcony watching incredible lightening strikes over the mountains a couple of nights during our stay! The room was clean, but doesn't seem to get cleaned at all during your stay unless you ask. Staff are friendly though so they don't seem to mind if you ask them. Breakfast is simple but good.

        Clean hotel, great location,and service with smile”

        cleaness and great view

        It's a short lovely stay at Populat View Guesthouse. Cleaness, location, and view are great. It's located at "the heart" of Vang Vieng tourism spot for acomodation, and not very far to many attraction places in Vang Vieng.

        Good enough with Friendly Family service”

        Cheap, 2 giant king beds, great family

        my buddy and i traveled to vang vieng from vientiane on motor bikes. the popular view guesthouse understood our immediate need for a cool shower and refreshment. they are very organized and ready to serve. the owner's kids are in the open air lobby and ready to hand you a beer or clean your shoes. rooms are decent but with very big beds.

        Great place for little money.”

        The view from the riverside rooms is fantastic.

        The guesthouse is situated in the heart of charming Vang Vieng. The staff is very friendly and take good care of their customers. Feels like you're part of the family. The building looks a bit strange as they stopped construction halfway up. No construction was disturbing during my stay though. The inside is neat and clean and the rooms are nicely furnished. No a fridge though. The breakfast is not only bread and jam but also fried eggs or omelet. The only thing i missed was real coffee. The price is a real bargain...

        Great location on the river”

        location, price

        this hotel was located on the river in vang vieng, right next to the place that you hire tubes from. we stayed on the second floor in rooms that overlooked the river. some rooms have a street view/no view so i would suggest requesting a river view room. the included breakfast was good, especially for the price you pay for a room. our bathroom door didn't close properly which was a bit annoying, we had to wedge something up against it to keep it closed.
