The Namkhan, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Carl, the manager who showed great interest in helping us and giving us tips for the local area and beyond. We also saw him introduce himself to other guests and little details like remembering our names and the room we stayed was a lovely touch. The location is a little far from the town but not at all a problem with the daily free trips via shuttle bus complimentary of hotel. The grounds of the hotel itself are just stunning. Another nice touch was having mosquito spray in the room for us on arrival- really needed as we were bitten alive! But to be expected with the area. We also loved the sauna and ice bath too after busy days. Anyway, we will absolutely recommend here to a friend and family. We loved it. Thank you Namkhan.

This place- the staff, the food, the ambiance, the activities- are EXCEPTIONAL. We splurged to stay here after staying at mostly hostels/hotels/home stays, but it was worth it! We slept so well- the beds are divine, the tents and sounds of the river are beautiful. The breakfast spread is so delicious!

Nothing. Everything is pure luxury!

Quiet area, staff was exceptional, Swimming pool and quality of meals

Door of the villa couldn’t be locked for the first day, cleaning was not top notch, airco failure in the upper room and issues with the toilet

We stayed at this retreat to celebrate a birthday and had a really enjoyable experience overall. The property is well-maintained, with a nice pool, friendly staff, and well-presented food. The team even went out of their way to make a birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday, which was a really thoughtful touch. The manager, Carl (from New Zealand), stood out. He was approachable, helpful, and gave us some great advice for our next stop in Vietnam. One of the convenient features is the hotel’s app, which lets you request transport, order food or drinks, and message the front desk. Everything is charged to a tab that you pay at checkout, which works well, though it would be useful to be able to track your expenses through the app during the stay. They do offer gluten-free bread, which was appreciated, but this isn’t mentioned online. It would be helpful if the menu had clearer allergen labelling, especially for gluten, as nothing was marked and it meant having to ask staff regularly who had little knowledge. Overall, a great spot with strong service and a few areas that could be improved to make things even smoother. We’d be happy to come back.

This small luxury hotel is incredible. Not only is the setting picturesque, but the staff are super friendly, know your name and would do anything to make your stay memorable. As it was my birthday, they went out of their way to provide me with a birthday cake and Karaoke on the Sunset cruise that we had booked, which they normally don’t do. After getting off the shuttle, we were whisked off to our wonderfully roomy accommodation by golf cart. These guys have thought of everything! We very much enjoyed lazing in the huts by the river which were equipped with lounging mattresses and took great delight in having a dip in both the big pool as well as the smaller one near the spa. We were gifted a beautifully handmade notebook each-a lovely surprise. Additionally, this hotel supports various charitable endeavours, thus supporting the community. Their eco-friendly philosophy is observed throughout the lodge, which is admirable. We found wandering through their organic farm interesting and the QR codes attached to plants, informative. We were impressed with the fact that the general manager took time out of his busy day to personally introduce himself and answer any questions. Overall, this was a magnificent stay and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering staying here. We certainly intend returning to enjoy this piece of paradise.

Great concept. A fantastic, secluded spot a little out of the town. The restaurant and bar were great. The rooms were ok. They seemed a little cramped together and lacked some privacy and considering the size of the plot this seemed a little odd. Our room had no where to sit outside which was a shame. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.

Incredible hospitality from Carl and his team of beautiful humans. The small touches went a long way, turn down service, the little gifts left each night on my bed, how they top up your water frequently at the pool. I was SOOOOOO glad I stayed out of town- Luang Prabang town is beautiful but noisy and this place was pure peace. The breakfast (unlimited a la carte) was outstanding. The coconut crepes were delicious, they even let me take coffee/smoothies away when I had an early tour. This is a minor detail but it melted my heart the way they folded and pressed my socks! Into perfect origami cubes :) free yoga, sauna, ice baths. Watching the locals just across the river was fascinating. My favourite thing about the resort is its heart- they put great effort into supporting local blood drives, they have 16 (well trained, vaccinated, friendly) dogs on site, they help fund emergency surgery’s for locals. It’s a complete oasis and I would love to come back xxxx

The tour prices are expensive, as was airport transfers.
