Barn Laos Hostel

The staff was friendly and attentive. When I accidentally dropped my water bottle, causing a loud noise, they immediately checked to ensure everything was okay and no one was hurt, which was very thoughtful. The hostel provides free breakfast, including toast, eggs, and cucumber. The Wi-Fi was fast, and the location is convenient—within walking distance of the city center, with plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby.

The photos of the hostel create a completely misleading impression. They depict a modern and spacious property, but in reality, it is an old building. The female dorm lacked sufficient space to accommodate regular-sized suitcases for all guests and there were no hooks or racks to hang my towel. Additionally, the female dorm door had no lock, allowing anyone to enter, which made me feel unsafe. The windows were wooden shutters instead of glass, offering no soundproofing. Noise from people on the terrace, footsteps in the hallway, and traffic outside could be heard clearly. Furthermore, I am accustomed to female dorms having their own bathroom, but that was not the case here. The communal bathroom, shared by all rooms, was always extremely wet and inconveniently located on the other side of the building. Having to walk such a distance at night to use the toilet disrupted my sleep. Another issue was the requirement to leave shoes near the reception before entering the hostel. While I understand this might be a cultural custom, I felt uncomfortable leaving my shoes unattended overnight. Overall, my experience was disappointing. The hostel did not meet my expectations or fulfill my needs, and I regret booking it.

Beautiful Hostel in a traditional stilt house, clean and cozy With nice common area To

Nothing

the place is looks lovely, the bed was pretty comfy, breakfast included two eggs to self cook and toast. Location not bad.

Mosquitos, just a place where it’s unavoidable. There is a mosquito net whilst sleeping tho, just you can’t sit on the toilet or have a shower in peace. Also we had an incident where another guest took some prescription glasses off the table thinking it was theres. When we asked staff that someone took my girlfriend glasses on the table, one member of staff said “no you were not wearing them, they were never on the table, you lost them elsewhere” Insistently I asked to look at CCTV and lo behold was another woman taking the glasses off the table. Just the attitude of one staff member was a bit off. Isolated incident but our experience.

Nice staff, Comfy beds, nice atmosphere just in the lobby. Location was good 8-10 min walk to night market. Bicycle rental for 30,000 kip.

Small rooms fulll of beds that I didn't like at all. A bit stifling rooms. Breakfast was basic but not bad. You need to pay 10.000 for a towel.
