Sunset Nam Ngum tented resort

L’emplacement, accès aux kayaks en libre service et les paysages.

Air climatisé qui coulait sur le lit, le chauffe eau de bain ne fonctionnait pas, excrément de gecko dans la chambre, fourmis omniprésente sur la propriété.

Lovely helpful staff, beautiful, comfortable room with views of the hot air balloons. Great location near everywhere but quiet. Lovely roof bar. We stayed 2 nights and came back for 2 more!

Nothing

Missed my booking, air-conditioning not working, no wifi available, no restaurant available (all as advertised on Booking.com), zero effort from management to make up for all of the faults. I would rather have payed extra for serenity up the road

Amazing views, gorgeous setting. Had an amazing time on the free kayaks

The duvet on the beds was a bit small for sharing.

This was the highlight of our trip to Laos. We ABSOLUTELY loved staying here. We had a beautiful wooden shack overlooking the river. The room was spacious clean and air-conditioning was a must and so appreciated. The owner was extremely friendly as were all of the family. The food was great, lovely simple breakfast. You can use kayaks as and when you want which was such an amazing thing. I would 100% recommend and would go as far as saying it's a MUST if visiting Laos. It really was magical. We also watched many sunsets and the most wildest thunder and lightning storm I've seen in my life. It was incredible.

I didn't like the bathroom inside the lodge didn't have a door and only had curtain.

The 5 year old resort is offering 2 Deluxe Cottages, 3 Cottages & 2 rooms; all with direct lake view. located at a small peninsula @ Nam Ngum lake approx.. 25 km south of Vang Vieng (1h taxi ride). All 5 Cottages have bedroom with AC, no fan. Free WIFI in whole resort. Bathroom warm shower, toilet. Veranda with relax lounger, chairs, table & fantastic sunset view. Our Cottage was clean, beds are comfortable, Free 1-seater & 2-seater Kajak use. Sunset - Tha Heua by kajak 1,5km, 20min. If you like it quite & want to relax, this is a very nice place to go. The remote place is not a drawback , it is a gift. At once your feel at home and want to stay. The only sound comes from birds, chichaks, lovely gecko calls & fisherman boats passing by. Nice small garden where free grazing buffaloes come close. The dogs take care and protect the plants & flowers of the garden. Small restaurant right in the middle of the resort with nice lake view. Good breakfast included. Tasty dinner available. Cold drinks all time @ restaurant. Owner & manager is English speaking Chinese with 2 friendly dogs. Kitchen & room-service run by 2 woman. Room leaning and towel change will be done as you will. Laundry 1$ /kg. All stuff very kind and helpful. Cost/ benefit ratio is good. Highly recommended.

Next to the lake, so you have a pretty nice views from your balcony. The room was spacious enough. It’s a calm place where you relax few days. Free kayaks to paddle around. Breakfast was included the price and there was a restaurant so you didn’t need to go anywhere. The owner and the staff were really friendly and the owner helped to organize the taxi from Vang Vieng to hotel.

It’s remote location, so you might like it or not. If you want to walk to the main road, it takes around 30 min from the hotel. The blue bungalow we stayed was a bit worn out. There is not door in the bathroom and there was a bit unpleasant smell. The menu is limited.

beautiful view, clean, spacious, you can just take a kayak whenever you want

no / bad wifi in my bungalow

**Tip to getting here** •From vang vieng The bus offered by the city tour desk uses highway, so it does not stop at this resort. You need to take a local minivan, witch is located “minivan bus stop service“ on google map. Go there and say Tha Heua. I waited for 10min and a shared tuktuk came. paid 100,000LAK ※I left my carry case in Vang Vieng so it would be easier to move around. ※The road from VangVieng to Tha Heua is paved, but from Tha Heua to resort is not paved(1.5km). Although it looked quite stiff and flat. •To Vang vieng I waited on the main road on Tha Heua, after 20min, a shared tuktuk passed by and honked…paid 100,000LAK. ※ My next destination was Vientiane, but went back to Vang Vieng once, and took the tour bus. I think it’s easier and faster this way. Loun from Dokkhoun 1 tour desk was very helpful with figuring this out! Highly recommended

・after having dinner here, I suffered from stomach ache and diarrhea… ・the power went down a few times while using shower…couldn’t see anything under cold shower.

The room was amazing and very clean, the bath was super hot and had a perfect view of the lake from our balcony, was very magical especially at sunset. Had 4 nights here and we could have stayed longer, so relaxing. Hotel offers free kayaks which you can use to go to the local village in around 10 minutes.

Nothing property was great The road leading up to the property is very bumpy and I would recommend you rent a decent moped or even an off roading buggy which you can hire from vang Vieng. Or message the owner and he can organise you a taxi :)
