Guest Reviews

• Guy (7/5): Lovely staff but such a noisy and cigarette smoke filled environment - The staff are absolutely lovely, very helpful and kind. Breakfast was nice with a choice of items available and also fruit. The room was cleaned daily. Shower also very good. Sadly there were a few things that impacted our stay. We appreciate it was new year but most loud music in town ended around 10/11pm. That of the neighbours here however went on into the early hours for two consecutive nights. Deafeningly loud thumping bass music meant it was impossible to sleep. Looking at some other reviews this seems to be an issue with those particular neighbours. The soundproofing between rooms is also not great. The rooms are quite small and the air conditioning was not particularly effective. We were in a room on the second floor next to the balcony. Unfortunately on the balcony was the smoking area so we had the smell of cigarette smoke drifting into our room as the tables were directly outside our window. We therefore also had to keep the curtains closed all the time.
• Clarisse (10/5): -
• Samuel (10/5): Great stay, recommend. - Very friendly staff. Room was comfortable, free water provided and toiletries. Good AC and even though bathroom was a wet room, the whole bathroom didn’t get wet. Nice breakfast too! About 10-15 mins away from main area of town
• Sophia (10/5): - The reception girl was very friendly and smiling. She gave us the best room in the building!we had a great Mountain View! In the evening we can see the hot balloons lending. The room was very clean and comfortable. We also had very good local food for breakfast! Definitely worth the money to stay here!
• Violaine (9/5): -
• Kirsten (8/5): -
• Alise (9/5): - Staff is very helpful, breakfast amazing, everyhing is good A little bit out of center (but you can still walk) and there was some loud music from street on saturday night, but everything else was good
• Isabelle (10/5): Super - Tout Rien
• colin (8/5): - Grande salle de bain, établissement calme, bon petit déjeuner, personnels gentils Poussière sous le lit et sur les rideaux
• Susada (10/5): I would highly recommend staying here. - A/c was fantastic, comfortable beds, made to order complimentary breakfast was delicious, hot showers, away from the noisy bars, clean. Dealt with pouna at the front with everything. She is so kind, and warm. Spoke excellent english. Made sure we were taken care of. Her brother was very lovely as well.
• Mluthi (10/5): - L'équipe de la Guesthouse est vraiment super et on se sent vraiment soutenu dans toutes nos aventures. La chambre était propre et confortable. Le matelas est ferme et très grand. Le petit-dej est succulent. La Guesthouse se trouve un peu excentrée, à 15 minutes de l'ultra centre. Mais ça permet d'être au calme !
• Matteus (10/5): -
• Tina (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswertes Guesthouse! - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und ein gutes, reichhaltiges Frühstück mit frischem Obst. Die Lage ist angenehm entspannt, da die Unterkunft etwas am Ortsrand liegt. Die Organisation vor Ort ist super unkompliziert: Roller mieten sowie Transfer-Tickets oder Touren buchen war ganz einfach direkt über die Unterkunft möglich. Die Zimmerausstattung und das WLAN waren völlig in Ordnung, und das Bad war angenehm groß. Insgesamt ein sehr entspannter Aufenthalt – wir haben uns wohlgefühlt!
• Jonas (10/5): Kann ich nur empfehlen! - Eine super schöne Unterkunft am Rande des Trubels von Vangvieng. Man ist zu Fuß innerhalb von 10min im Stadtzentrum. Wir konnten bereits um 10 ins Zimmer.
• Louis (10/5): Un accueil aux petits soins :) - Les hôtes sont formidables, on se sent réellement bien dans le logement et dans l’hôtel en général. Le petit déjeuner est très bon (recommandations pour le fried rice et les pancakes) Tout était super :)
• Voelger (10/5): -
• Adeline (10/5): Je recommande vivement - L'accueil est très chaleureux, le personnel est adorable, la guesthouse est très bien située et au calme par rapport au reste de la ville, tout est très propre. Très bon rapport qualité/prix Ras
• Sarah (10/5): - Comfortable bed and nice water flow in the shower (things you start to miss after a while travelling. The view at sunset. The room is a bit small, but for the price it was still perfect
• Emma (10/5): Fijn, schoon, eenvoudig verblijf met vriendelijk personeel - Het was een nette accommodatie, met een hele goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding. De kamer was netjes en schoon, en het personeel erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het is geen luxe accommodatie, maar dat pretenderen ze ook niet. Voor deze prijs heel erg netjes en goed. Je kan via de accommodatie scooters huren die voor de deur worden afgezet. Tegenover zit een wasserette waar je makkelijk kan wassen. De Pho is erg lekker als ontbijt! Een klein verbeterpuntje zou kunnen zijn om op het plafond een haakje met een touwtje te bevestigen, om een eigen klamboe aan vast te maken
• Orsolya (7/5): - It was an easy walking distance from the center. The staff was very kind and helpful
• Vishaldeep (9/5): - Det är ett lugnt ställe att bo på, sova gott, personalen är mycket hjälpsam och ler alltid. Vi hoppas kunna komma tillbaka hit igen nästa år.
• Peeter (10/5): Great value - Highly recommended. Since I've been traveling in Asia, I've never received such sincere service as here. It was better than I thought. If you come to Vang Vieng, don't forget to stay here.
• David (8/5): Good, good. - Nice place and location, good price for a nice place Nothing really, it was all pretty good
• Suk Han (9/5): - Quiet, nice staff, good breakfast. Sometimes WiFi is a bit intermittent
• Imogen (8/5): - Very comfortable stay and staff were exceptional helpful. Not to far from main restaurants but far enough to be quiet.
• Nicole (8/5): - La gentillesse de la famille qui gère l'hôtel Le rapport qualité prix Trop éloigné du centre
• caroline (10/5): Super séjour ! - Calme , chambre propre, personnel au petit soin ! Petit déjeuner bon ! Tout était super !
• Bernhard (9/5): Die Unterkunft empfehlen wir uneingeschränkt.  - Sehr nette, hilfsbereite Besitzerin. Gutes Frühstück und günstiger Roller Verleih. Auch das organisieren von Zugtickets und Touren hat reibungslos geklappt.
• Tetiana (10/5): - Smile Guesthouse is in a really nice spot in Vang Vieng. We stayed there for several days and after returning to Vang Vieng stayed there one more time. It’s only about a 10-minute walk to the center, so it’s easy to get around, but the area itself is quiet. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you actually need. There are toiletries like shampoo and a toothbrush, and the shower always had warm water with decent pressure, which I really appreciated. The balcony has a lovely view, so you can see mountains and hot air balloons flying twice a day. Breakfast was one of the highlights for me. There was fresh fruit every day, and the omelets and pancakes were especially delicious. There are some other breakfast options, even including pho, which was also very tasty. And finally, the hosts — they are truly wonderful. The family is so kind, sweet, and welcoming, you can rarely meet such nice people! I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

• Andreas (10/5): -
• Jurjen (7/5): - Friendly staff and relatively cheap. The traffic outside is noisy.
• Karin (8/5): - Breakfast is included For the price very good. Polite staff with some knowledge of English which is not everywhere a standard. Common area for coffee and a ref. A vault box in the room though it seems Vang Vieng has a problem with thefts from the rooms the Tuktuks there are definitely too expensive. Maybe the staff could help bringing up the luggage to the rooms without need to ask them - which we actually didn’t.
• Lisa (10/5): - Superbe petite guesthouse, les chambres sont top et le personnel adorable, je recommande
• Thomas (10/5): Perfect stay, go for it - I liked everything, it was clean, quite new, nice bed and pillows, very good breakfast, nice windows view. Everything was perfect and above my expectations big plus for the service and the very owners that are so kind! Always the smile and ready to help.. I appreciated Thank you so much Nothing
• Lucia (10/5): - Everything. The kindness and beautiful smile of the staff, the quite area, the delicious breakfast. Rooms and beds are comfortable, hot shower and all basic items for the toilet. It was probably the best place we stayed in Laos. Highly recommended! From the room at the third floor we could also admire the hot air balloons flying in the sky with mountains behind. It was very nice!
• Annika (10/5): - Schöne und saubere Zimmer mit toller Aussicht! Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und das Frühstück sehr lecker! Preis-Leistung super!
• Annika (10/5): Super Preis Leistung, sauberes Zimmer und tolle Aussicht - Schöne und saubere Zimmer mit toller Aussicht! Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und das Frühstück sehr lecker! Preis-Leistung super! -
• Bernd (8/5): - Lage am Ortsrand war für uns angenehm, 15 Minuten Spaziergang ins Zentrum. Zimmer mit Bergblick und Balkon richtig lohnenswert. Man sieht morgens und abends die Heißluftballons und Motordrachen über die Berge fliegen. Gutes Frühstück inklusive. Scooterverleih und Traintickets auch via Hotel möglich Zimmer recht klein.
• meynet (9/5): - Personnel très professionnel et accueillant. Emplacement un peu loin, mais possibilité de louer des scooters a prix compétitif.
• Jacqueline (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft in Vang Vieng - Wir durften früher einchecken und uns sogar ein Zimmer aussuchen. Zimmer angemessen groß mit klein Mini-Balkon und sehr sauber. Auf Wunsch wurde jeden Tag gereinigt. Verschiedene Frühstücksoptionen. Lage etwas am Rand und daher etwas ruhiger aber alles fußläufig machbar. Die Hosts waren super lieb und hilfsbereit und haben sich um jedes Anliegen gekümmert. Am Abreisetag haben wir sogar ein sehr frühes Frühstück vor der Zeit bekommen weil wir so zeitig los mussten. Wir würden jeder Zeit wiederkommen Es war alles super, insbesondere für den Preis
• Kevin (8/5): Gute, einfache Unterkunft - Gute Zimmer mit Balkon und Ausblick Hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal Rollerverleih sehr günstig mit bringen und abholen WLAN abends sehr schlecht
• pheng (10/5): Happy family - The staff were helpful, the breakfast was delicious, the room was clean, and for the money, it was excellent value.
• Catherine (9/5): - L’emplacement est un peu excentré (moins de poussière de la route). Le personnel est très aimable et serviable. Il n’y a pas d’isolation, il y avait un établissement dans les alentours qui mettait la musique à fond une partie de la nuit. Il faut prendre des boules quies.
• Léa primo (9/5): Très bon séjour - La chambre est propre, fonctionnelle et bien isolée. Le lit est assez confortable pour le Laos et le personnel est très gentil ! Possible de louer un scooter très facilement et même de changer de l'argent 😁 Les pancakes du petit dej ne sont pas les meilleurs
• patrick (9/5): Adresse sympa 👍👍 - Une très bonne adresse au confort simple, fonctionnel et très propre. Le petit déjeuner est vraiment très bien! Toute proposition gardée au vu du tarif bien sûr… nous avons payé 18€… La gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel est extra! en cas de besoin, ils vous aideront. Toutes les portes et serrures font du bruit, dommage, les lubrifier serait un Gd plus.
• Dany (9/5): N hésitez pas si vous passez par Vang Vieng - Hôte exceptionnelle, gentille , souriante , professionnelle , toujours aux petits soins . Très bon petit déjeuner . Tout est parfait
• Tilia (7/5): Adequate - Sufficient for one night. Polite staff Not much of an atmosphere. Very noisy in the room (from road outside)
• Brigitte (10/5): - Une guesthouse qui porte bien son nom grâce au Sourire de notre hôtesse.
• mogil (10/5): Personnel chaleureux - Bonne proximité pour les lieux d'intérêt, le personnel extrêmement gentil et accueillant, la literie est confortable, possibilité de louer des scooters, bon petit déjeuner
• Emma (10/5): - There's no need to explain much, everything is great. I recommend everyone to use their services. We really enjoyed our stay.
• Alexander (10/5): So good - It's a quiet place, the room is clean, it's the first place that made me sleep comfortably. The receptionists are attentive to every customer. I woke up late every day, but they still made me breakfast and it was very delicious.
• Adelard (10/5): - The receptionist and the owner of the hotel were very kind because they welcomed us very well. The room was clean. I really like this place.
• Veronica (9/5): - The room was quiet and we had a good night's sleep. The helpful staff made our stay here very enjoyable.
• Anastassiya (10/5): Absolutely fantastic stay, thank you! - Lovely guesthouse, my partner and I stayed at two other places in Vang Vieng but Smile Guesthouse was by far the best! Comfy bed, absolutely gigantic ensuite, and exceptionally kind and attentive staff :) Due to dietary requirements (vegetarian and vegan) we did not have the included breakfast at the guesthouse (all either egg or meat-based). However, the staff were absolutely fantastic and not only offered a discounted rate but also gave us fresh fruit and even made us vegan dessert pumpkin soup on one of the days! This place is exceptional, highly recommended for a friendly and relaxing stay. We were on the top floor and the view from the little balcony is great! Next time we’re in Vang Vieng, we will most certainly be staying here ♥️
• Chu (9/5): - The room was clean, the staff were friendly and smiling. The room might be a bit small, but it wasn't a problem for us. We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back🥳
• Marc (10/5): good - The room was definitely comfortable and very clean.
• Peter (9/5): good - Номер был очень чистым, а персонал — очень отзывчивым. Водитель тук-тука чуть не взял с меня лишнюю сумму, но, к счастью, сотрудники помогли мне договориться с ними, и я смог арендовать машину по низкой цене.
• Catty (9/5): - Das Zimmer war einfach, aber komfortabel. Das Personal bot einen hervorragenden Service. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt hier aufgrund des herzlichen Empfangs sehr genossen. Obwohl es nur ein kurzer Aufenthalt war, haben wir das gespürt. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber.
• Sophia (10/5): So good - The staff are lovely and attentive. The room is clean. Everything is great. I recommend everyone to use the services at Smile Guesthouse.
• Marie Pierre (8/5): -
• Elvira (9/5): - Locatie ligt wat verder van het centrum. Het is eenvoudig een scooter te huren. Schone kamers. Het Engels was erg beperkt. Dit zorgde ervoor dat ze ons niet met alles konden helpen.
• Kevin (9/5): - Это теплое место, персонал очень гостеприимный, они порекомендовали нам красивые места для посещения, номер был чистым, мы сделали правильный выбор, выбрав гостевой дом Smile.

• Cole (10/5): Exceptional - Woke up in the morning to a beautiful view, the room was clean and the air was fresh.
• Freddie (10/5): Best budget room we've had in Laos, maybe in South East Asia!! - Clean with strong AC and a fan over the bed, small balcony, great water pressure in the bathroom with hot water. Comfy mattress and pillows. The location is a little far out but the trade off is it's completely quiet and night, no annoying roosters at 3am. The staff were really friendly and the free breakfast was great, they remembered my order every morning and one day we had had a few too many beers the night before I came down 30 mins late for breakfast and they let me eat and even offered to deliver my girlfriend breakfast in bed! they put barely any markup on the activities such as paramotoring.

• Olivia (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Vang Vieng - The property is in the perfect location, just outside of the centre so it’s not too loud. Our room was so lovely and clean and the views of the mountains and hot air balloons in the evening was amazing! The beds were really comfy and I had a great nights sleep the entire stay. The shower was hot and the bathroom was clean. The hosts were so welcoming and kind, they provided us with lots of bottled water which was perfect with the hot weather and were able to answer any questions we had and help us booked transport to our next destination. The breakfast was great with a variety of dishes to choose from and lots of fruit available. I would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Vang Vieng, it was perfect!

• Tobias (10/5): Really nice place - everything! the staff was so helpful and friendly, the breakfast was good, the bed is comfy and the location was perfect for us. everything was way better than expected for this price! there is always some noise, from the outside (street or roosters) or doors inside. but not more than other places.
• Nicolas (9/5): Superb - Rooms are clean and give off a nice vibe. Staff is very friendly. Shower works well. Location is Perfect. We loved it here. It was mostly quiet outside, but if there's noise, you'll hear it. The pillows were a little stiff. The WiFi wasn't reliable.
• Ricardo (9/5): Helpful staff, new building and clean rooms. - Helpful staff, quick response and flexible. There was a rooster during the first night next to our window, but the staff moved him away the next day.
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is ideally located in Vang Vien, not too far from the city center but still peaceful at night

They were exactly what you hope to experience when you travel abroad. Breakfast - DELICIOUS! Impeccable service and kindness. The rooms were well appointed. The balcony room gave me a lovely view for sunrise and sunset. You can’t beat this value! This property is a little away from the main busy part of town, a good thing for me - a lover of quiet. No complaints! WiFi comes and goes a little bit at certain times. But it’s better than everywhere else I’ve been in Laos.
