Sunset Bungalows & GH

The location was great, with a lovely view of the river. The breakfast was pleasant, we recommend the Spanish omelette and banana donuts :) The bed was big and comfortable, and the bathroom was big enough so that when you shower the whole floor is not soaked. Gabriel and Penny were helpful and available to answer any questions. They also booked up our boat trip which we appreciated.

It is a tricky place to find so best to ask someone to direct you as soon as you get off the boat. We found that for the price we paid we were hoping for something a bit less basic and less tired-looking. Although we are also happy staying in basic accommodation, we would expect the price to reflect that, which is less the case here as the photos made it look better and more up-kept than it was. We think it would also be nice if the communal area was cleaner (there were seats but too dusty to sit in) and free from some general trash. The place has good potential and just needs some TLC. We wish Gabriel and Penny good luck.

Nice view from the balcony, comfortable room, quiet location.

I wasn't informed during check-in that the breakfast was included in the room price and wasn't told the location were the breakfast took place. However, this is a minor detail in an overall genuinely pleasant experience.

Amazing view with a private balcony. It s so relaxing and definitely worth the price. It s true nothing is perfect but than again this is laos, and you have to deal with humidity, wifi that isn't t strong enough, dust...if you cannot handle that just don t come to laos. Also the breakfast is perfect and more than enough. Also I got sick and the lady from the guesthouse gave medication and fresh towels etc. She is a strong woman and strong woman are most of the time confused with bossy woman but she has a kind heart! I can t help it but I have to say something about a review I saw - Jean Pierre with title Fuyez. Everything is about complaining but I think he should stay in Dubai in a 5 star hotel because i saw his room and if he had it at the same price as a standard he was than lucky to have that beautifull room! He came to our terass complaining that we had to stop making noise like we where having a party! It was not even 21 o clock and we were just on the phone with our family. It s people like that who destroy a business because they don t have a clue about the country they are visiting. It s normal in laos that there are dogs or colder showers for example. Don t pay 35 dollars and expect to be in a 5 star hotel (and the room he had was 5 stars). You should respect the lao culture and definitely on the country side it s different. But you where just a rude toerist!

Muang ngoy is a very authentic village. The owners said some spots to visit and we had lunch at their family restaurant and it was tasty. We were picked at the pier, like every other guest house does there. The views from the balcony its the crown jewel of this place! The hammock also its great.

the room it self was not the best and not what we booked... we had a minor problem because the booking was made a long time before coming and the price was not correct when we booked. the owner sent an auto message through booking to ask for us to cancel and we did not see. a reminder through direct message would be appreciated so everything is settled straight. when we arrived the owner explained us the price was wrong when we booked so we needed to pay a little bit more. the room that they gave us was not in the best condition but we did not really care after a long trip. the breakfast is not buffet.

Everything was perfect. The room was very clean, cosy and inside the nature.
