Baan Pila

What an incredible place to stay! The room was beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless, the staff were wonderful and the location was ideal - just about 5-10 mins walk to the centre of Luang Prabang. I would highly recommend.

The most beautiful place I have ever visited in Laos with delicate arrangement of artisan works! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing too. They had a variety of breakfast options to choose from, both western and lao options. And tasted sooo good. Very good location as well. Walking distance (10min walk) from the town yet quiet.

Beautiful Gracious staff! Feels like a home not a hotel. Simple luxury. Impeccably clean. Very accommodating. Breakfast is a blend of Laos and western cuisine. Every element of this hotel is outstanding,

This hotel is a very wonderful place. It’s beautifully furnished and decorated, it’s very calm and peaceful, the people who work at Baan Pilaare lovey - very warm, helpful and friendly. The breakfasts are great- everything home- made, and there are lots of bicycles available for guests to use, and also a lovely pool in a beautiful garden. The room was big, very comfortable and with an additional sitting area where you can make tea and coffee . A real find!

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like

Absolutely loved Baan Pila. As a solo traveller, it felt so welcoming, warm and safe, and they were extremely accomodating. The style and design is really nice, with a heap of small touches that I loved (french press coffee in the rooms was great too). They are now serving breakfast as well which you pre-order the night before, which was really nice too.

The only minor point would be more lamps in the rooms so you don't have to use the downlights. With such a beautiful decor, you kind of want ambience in the rooms! But.. absolutely minor. Aside from that, the pool is above ground. I'm sure they intend to put a bigger one in eventually and it does the job, but best to use some resort pool passes from the bigger resorts nearby if you want a pool day.

This cute boutique hotel is outside the old town but close enough to walk (or cycle if it's sweltering). It offers an AMAZING breakfast and truly spectacular customer service. The manager is one of the best I've encountered in my travels, but everyone who works there is top-tier. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. My only worry is that they'll become too popular and, with only a few rooms, be sold out! Oh, and they serve great coffee, too!

Beautiful place with friendly staff. Much care is given to every detail. Breakfast is a la carte and delicious. The pool is not big but good to cool down. Put and her staff did everything to make out stay comfortable. They were also very helpful with arranging the transportation from and to the train as well as a tour to the waterfalls.

At least in our room the shower area was rather small and open so half the bathroom was wet. The car picking us up from the train station was a very small one even though I specifically explained beforehand we were 4 plus luggage. The bicycles could use some maintenance and have some sharp edges - not good for children. But they are for free and anyway most people rent scooters or use Loca to get around, so did we.

The hotel is charming, in a wonderfully restored villa with quirky architectural details. The room was spacious, quiet and the bed very comfortable but the best thing was the staff who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and help with anything I needed, they were really amazing, particularly Phout who accompanied me to buy an extra suitcase. The breakfasts were varied and delicious with a great choice of local dishes. I wholeheartedly recommend this place if you are going to Luang Prabang.

Everything, the staff were so accommodating even provided breakfast very early before our pick up for the slow boat. Beautiful hotel.

Nothing, only wished we had been able to stay longer.

Baan Pila was an absolute gem! All of the staff were so sweet and attentive with excellent recommendations to explore in Luang Prabang. We stayed in the Mango room which was beautiful and so comfortable! We celebrated a birthday during our stay and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay so special! Truly a lovely place to stay!
