Not very fancy facilities but good value for money.”
Very friendly staff with a lot of options for entertainment: from tours to book with them to pool and a swimming pool. Very friendly environment also with other fellow guests. Maybe the downside is they don't provide free water as many other hostels in the area. They did offer free whiskey and watermelon.

I don’t know if I would recommend this hostel ”
I will say the price is good for having a pool, breakfast and AC at night but you need to be really careful with your belongings, don’t live anything important without attention and if something is missing ask to see the cameras.

No curtain ”
I book for a female dorm actually. But when I reach there, the staff told me no more female dorm for me. And put me in a mixed dorm instead. But the bed come with no curtain and the toilet was inside which is convenient for. They serve free whisky at night time. Is good enough for a drinker. For me, Just a day stay should be fine.

Very worn Hostel”
Ants in the Rooms, really (even for Asia) hard mattresses, loud kids in the hostel all day, WiFi was not working for a long time.... The place has definitely seen better times, everything seems very worn.

No hot water or tv ”
I paid for a single room with private bathroom and television. The hot water system in my room was broken and was told to use the dorm showers which are in a different floor and building. There was no television even though it was advertised. No top sheet at all. Not impressed. I left after a few days even though id booked and paid for 4 nights.

This hostel not so great ”
Good location.... direct pick up for the popular tubing activity. However I found breakfast to be disappointing. Staff not so friendly better value for money is Freedom hostel just around the corner.

Above average”
They made me pay more than I should have too. No refill water, more plastic waste only option.

Don’t stay here! ”
The room itself was dirty. The bathroom trash can still had toilet paper in it from previous guests and a razor blade on the floor. They’re were 2 man guys working the front desk. One with glasses is very attentive. The other one with ponytail is extremely rude. Checkout is at 11:30. At 11:15 I get a knock on my door and it’s the second guy telling me it’s time to go and waits there until i walk out. Aside from all of that, I got food poisoning from there complimentary breakfast. I just spent hours in the hospital in Vientiane where they found that I had E. coli and brucella. The only thing I ate prior was breakfast at this hostel in Vang vieng. Starting feeling sick instantly. DONT stay here! There are several other hostels on the same street.

Acceptable”
My bed was soaked in who knows what when I arrived. So were the sheets. They really stank. There are no individual lights in the beds, and the air conditioning isn’t working. Worst hostel I have tried in a while. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Dirty dirty dirty ”
Sheets were dirty and not changed when a new guest checked in. I see new fresh mosquitoes blood on the pillow。some small insects on bed . You can’t use kitchen, you can’t wash your clothes in the room. Would not recommend to stay here. The state of the toilets and shower facilities let the whole thing down. Shower wasn’t attached to the wall and ran freezing cold water constantly. And the sink in the bathroom didn’t have any plumbing so everything just ran straight on the floor (spit from toothpaste etc).

I'm a REAL backpacker dammit. ”
Originally booked somewhere else, but was persuaded to move to Real by some friends I'd made. Real ended up being my social hub in vang vieng and I stayed an extra night. Did tubing and the lagoon tour via real too. The place is a little worn and tired but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. There are small dorms with quirky names. I stayed in raddit which I think was supposed to be rabbit. I liked this hostel because had a real communal feel and the breakfast was pretty good. One of the receptionists was a bit rude to me, interrogating me to where I was staying because she hadn't seen me check in and I guess she thought I was stealing a bed??? I'd checked in with someone else and found her attitude really unnecessary, but she was fine to just avoid.

I love this place ! ”
The staff here are what really make the place ! They are so so friendly and welcoming! I ended up staying five nights here !! They all new my name and greeted me like a friend everyday. The beds are by far one of the more comfier beds in Vang Vieng ! I tried out a few and was glad as to where I was staying. The place is clean and it is an excellent place to socialise and meet people. It is opposite a real good cheap restaurant and just down the road from Sakura Bar (free drinks 8-9pm). The breakfast is also really good and you can book things easily from reception. Thanks so much for a great day !

fun hostel ”
very social hostel. had a great stay here. if going to vang vieng I would recommend for sure. the room stunk of paint though as just been decorated. pool table is a fun touch. I didn't bother doing the bar crawl and just net them at the bars anyway!

Good location, very clean, staff very informative”
I like the atmosphere, you will meet great people, it has all you need in vang vieng, they dont serve drinks like in other hostels, but I think it's okay, there are so many places around to party

Disappointing”
I was sent to the Real Vang Vieng Backpacker Hostel 2, as the one I paid for was having a pool built. I feel this is rather dishonest, you should've taken the property down over this time, as they have different ratings! The toilet roll was left empty for a few days in the communal toilets and for some reason one of the staff tried to turn the air conditioning off an hour early in the room.

Comfy Stay”
It seemed like a party hostel on the app but it wasn't, quite and calm, very chilled and relaxed, free pool and foosball tables, pretty clean, good breakfast. staff is helpful and they offer good and VFM tour options. Best eateries and bars are just a stones throw away

Great for solo travelers ”
Booked a night here and ended up staying for 3 nights. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfast was really good and having a pool to jump in at any time of the day (with some free whisky every night in the common area) made it a really enjoyable experience.
