Guest Reviews

• Shi (10/5): - El lugar está bien y el desayuno es muy bueno, no contestan mucho si necesitas transporte del aeropuerto, hablan poco inglés entonces te ofrecen lo básico. Igual recomiendo que se queden a dormir, es tranquilo.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Vägarbete utanför som skymmer utsikten mot floden. Men det är inte deras fel!
• JUNYOUNG (10/5): Good staff and service - Stayed here for 5days. The location is a bit far from the night market place but it is still in walking distance (around 10~15 mins). So we always go by walk to downtown. The owner and staffs were so kind and they greeted me and support me in many ways. It was valuable stay overall.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 何度も泊まっておりますが、非常に心地がよい場所です。 今回は、ホテルの真向かいのナムカーン川の埋め立て工事が行われていて騒音が厳しかった。 それ以外は、特になくいつものとおり快適。
• Fang_ped (8/5): - ที่พักค่อนข้างสะอาด แต่มีกลิ่นอับนิดหน่อย อาหารเช้ามีให้เลือกหลายเมนู โดยรวมแล้วดี ใกล้วัดเชียงทอง แต่ไกลกับจุดอื่นๆ สามารถเดินได้แต่เหนื่อยหน่อย
• Kim (8/5): - 何度も泊まっていますが居心地は良い。 まわりにどんどん新しいホテルもできているのでより良くしていってほしいものです。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly and helpfull staff. Great breakfast and location.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Wuba Atmosphäre, Balkonzimmer mit Blick auf Fluss. Nettes Frühstück. Managerin spricht gut Englisch, organisiert Reisen und Ausflüge vor Ort. Sehr sympathisch und intelligent.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Terrible service, beds were rock hard. They also lied to us about hotel occupancy and downgraded our room. WiFi was slow and the water pressure was almost none. We ended up having to move hotels.
• David (10/5): Comfort and a view - We truly enjoyed our stay. The room was great and the location was perfect. Ms. Noy was very helpful. I'd definitely stay again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 半島の先の方の静かなホテル。3度目の滞在でしたが、快適に過ごせます。スタッフも親切、なにしろ静かでくつろげます。繁盛しているようでチェックイン、チェックアウトが毎日ありました。アメニティは、タオル、石鹸、シャンプーのみ。Wi-Fiが探偵していないところが少し残念でした。
• Koh (8/5): - Nice, near to the town center
• Jonna (10/5): - I had a great stay at Villa Somphong. Its clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Its located in the centre and is quiet (no noise form bars).
• Pei Wei (10/5): - Very comfortable stay, served good breakfast. Friendly and helpful manager and staff. Location is great!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Quiet, personal hotel - Good little hotel. Clean and simple. Nice balcony area outside the room was great to watch the world go by. The Manager went out of her way to get us on to a minibus trip to the waterfall at the last minute.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice - Basic room, but clean. Only problem was the noise of the people having breakfast.
• Jason (10/5): Awesome - This place was beautiful, clean and safe, its in a wonderful location, close to the best restaurants, the temples and its right next to the river. The staff were very nice and helpful. I wanted to stay for an extra night, but they were booked, so the lady at the desk found me a room in another hotel close by, she told me i could leave my luggage in the room and she would have it moved over to the new hotel when my room was ready. That even when i came back from tour it was all taken care of! They also have the best and cleapest laundry service in Loas. Love this place
• Verified traveler (10/5): - hotel staffs and owner are so friendly and helpful. absolutely come back.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Comfortable stay for the value - The villa was great overall. Good sized rooms with a decent sized bathroom; the location is quiet as it's at the tip of the peninsula. The staff was friendly and helpful, but besides the owner lady, the English level of the staff was limited. It's finally comforting to see the waiter at breakfast to write down the orders of each table instead of relying on his (poor) memory. The only thing stands out negatively was the blood stain on the mattress, which was visible through the thin bedsheet.
• Susanne (10/5): Villa Samohong - Great stay! Wonderful cute hotel in a great locations.
• owen (10/5): A little oasis in the hear of things. - Right by one of the rivers on a quiet road parallel to the main tourist street, the location was excellent. Convenient for good eating and drinking as well as starting points for many tours. Clean with a nice sitting area outside the room on the ground floor, I wouldn't choose a room behind the main building without a view. Freshly cooked breakfast was a bonus though the menu was limited if you stay there for more than 2 days. Good English spoken and friendly staff.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel - Clean room, king size bed, TV and fridge, toilet shower. Balcony with table and chairs. Good breakfast included. Very nice and helpful staff. Well located in the center, facing the river. I recommend.
• Matt (8/5): A nice guesthouse in a good location. - A friend and I stayed 3 nights at Villa Somphong in March 2017. It is a nice guesthouse overlooking the River Kahn. It is only a 10 to 15 minute walk to the centre of Luang Prabang old town, most of the sights and the boats offering trips down the Mekong. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The manager booked a trip to the elephant sanctury and Kuang Si Falls for us and the staff can assist with a range of trips, onward flight bookings etc. The breakfast is satisfactory and there are a number of very good restaurants that can be reached in under 10 minutes on foot. Overall it was good value.
• Edith (10/5): - We had a lovely stay at Somphong. The owners and personnel are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is delicious and the location is perfect. We will certainly return there.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice outlook over the the river - We enjoyed our stay at the Villa Somphong. Our room had a nice outdoor area overlooking the river across the road. It was a short walk to restaurants and shops. There was some confusion about our reservation which left us without a room for the last night of our stay, but Noy worked very hard to find another property that we'd be happy with. I have to say she really came through for us because we loved our stay at the Thongbay Resort. If we ever return to Luang Prabang we would be happy to stay at either of these properties.
• Paul (8/5): Nice hotel with great staff - On arrival staff were very welcoming and helpful. Nice family friendliness. Great breakfast. Within walking distance into town.
• Simon (8/5): Well placed for exploring town, in quiet area - Comfortable rooms, good breakfast, quiet location. Friendly staff, willing to help. A 10-15 minute walk to the night market, with good riverside eating options minutes away. Good location to see the early morning monk parade.
• July (8/5): 6 days in Luang Prabang - The hotel is in a good location close to shops, restaurants and bars. The first night we got a room upstairs with a view of the nam khan river. the 2nd day they offered to move us downstairs since we had 2 kids, one being a year old. the room downstairs were newer and bigger. it also has a little porch which was perfect. Breakfast was served right in front of our room which made it convenient. Breakfast was tasty. customer service was great. WiFi was good. only negative was it was hard to get hot water in the showers. also, they do not change your sheets everyday.
• Terry (8/5): Nice friendly guest house. - Nice guest house on the riverside. Friendly and helpful staff.
• ian (10/5): Excellent. Staff, hotel and service - Arrived and taxi at airport was waiting, the reception was so friendly and spend time explained the town and a few local words Close to all the central town area, but opposite the river on a quieter road. Perfect hotel and lovely staff
• Susan (10/5): Lovely little riverside guesthouse - We enjoyed our stay at this conveniently located and well serviced guesthouse. The staff were helpful and friendly. I loved the shoes free environment, which kept the timber floors beautifully clean. Breakfast outdoors by the river was a very pleasant experience.
• Kenneth (10/5): A good Luang Prabang stay. - Faces Nam Khan River. Close to most every thing. Bit of a walk to the night market - if your're not in walking shape. Good breakfast across the street, just above the river. Some temporary construction (addition to a building till August 2016, but only during day time hours. Was suprised when 3 of us had to pay 20,000 kep ($2.50 USD) to tuktuk ride to the airport. Thought it was included in Hotels.com pricing. The lady that seems to run it was great, as was the staff.
• robert (10/5): QUIET AND Friendly - THIRD TIME I have stayed here, Quiet environment Great Staff and nice breakfast service overlooking the Mekong River
• Flip (8/5): Nice hotel close to river - Delightful hostess. Nothing was too much trouble. Organised one tour and advised us where to go for another. Great free breakfast on the waterfront
• Joshua (8/5): Decent hotel, great location, great service - A pleasant if unimpressive hotel in a fantastic location, with an incredibly helpful staff. The woman who runs the place helped me plan out my whole Laos trip, and her recommendations for what to do in Luang Prabang were great. The Wi-Fi was spotty though.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Hotel is just OK, good breakfast/ location - Good location not far from Wat Xieng Thing, and the main town. I found rooms a little loud and not that clean. The person I assume was the manager was great and really helpful, other staff not so much. Great included breakfast with lots of food and many options served on the river!
• Verified traveler (8/5): quiet location - nice quiet location on the river bank good information from the helpful propriertor. thin walls
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great location and staff - Great location opposite the river. Very close to restaurants, shops & night market. Staff lovely and the owner great, offering help and advice with a smile on her face. Generous breakfast, which was a bonus. Small shop with basics on site and they also provided, or could arrange excursions etc - all very convenient. Room basic, as expected, but very clean. Space a bit tight, especially around the bed, so difficult to walk around but given we spent very little time in the room it wasn't really an issue. Would definitely recommend.
• Richard (10/5): Great accommodations in Luang Prabang - I stayed here three nights and had an excellent experience. The staff are friendly and peak English. The room was very quiet for sleeping. The mattress was comfortable. The internet was good and reliable. They serve breakfast at tables next to the river. The breakfast was good with options of eggs or pancakes. The owner is friendly and will give you information about boat rides, tours and even where to find the immigration office. I highly recommend this place.
• Daniel (8/5): Views of the river close to Wat Xieng Thong - Upon our arrival unfortunately there was no power (it was area wide, confirmed by our friends who were at another local property), which meant no A/C! Not to worry, we were given a hand fan each to use which was most welcome. A nice touch and certainly not something they were obliged to do! The rooms here are very clean and have a nice modern feel to them, the wooden floors are (as in a lot of Laos properties) really nice. The bed was the right amount of hardness and was very comfy to sleep on. Breakfast is included each morning and you have quite a few choices - although my other half tended towards the banana pancakes every day! It's only a short walk from here to the Wat Xieng Thong (otherwise known as the Golden City Temple) and then in the other direction to the Night Markets and Dara Market.
• John (10/5): Lovely river front setting - Good staff Excellent breakfast choices in lovely setting. rooms are a bit small but very clean with refrigerator and hot water heater. Adjacent to monastery and generally quiet at night.
• couple (10/5): Best guest house in loas. - That lady and her kid are what makes this place. So helpful and kind. Ready for a chat! Just out of town (aka the Main Street) but right by the river, can hear the birds in the morning. Great breakfast.
• bouavnh (8/5): nice place - I was nice the owner was very attentive and very helpful
• helen (10/5): Good location, excellent owner - We stayed in Villa Somphong for 3 nights. To start with our air con was broken. We were told the owner would come at 8pm to fix. We were dubious but sure enough it was fixed! The staff (especially the owner) are helpful. The location great and a good breakfast provided. The beds a little hard but overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
• david (10/5): Little Gem - Excellent hotel Pay the extra for a superior room with a balcony Great breakfast
• Louise (10/5): Excellent place to lay your head - Had everything you would want: clean modern rooms in good condition, attentive owner manager, satisfying breakfast, nice location by the river. I was very happy to have booked the place. I wanted to stay again but it was full. Negatives: rooms quite small with nowhere to put your bag (except on the floor), water pressure in shower a bit poor, no hot water in the sink & hotel lacks the "frilly" bits such as garden, pool etc. (if you're looking for that sort of thing). It's a modest hotel which follows it core strengths well. Neat comfortable rooms in a good location. As long as you're not expecting lavish luxury or a resort but a comfortable room to rest your head after an active day exploring the city & surroundings, I don't think you'll get better.
• David (10/5): A great time in Luang Prabang - The hotel was ideal for me. It was in a quiet area overlooking the Nam Thong River in very pleasant surroundings, but within a short distance of several beautiful temples, the old Palace - now a museum, and the hill with the temple on the top which overlooks the whole town. It was only a short distance from the main streets in the UNESCO protected area, and these streets had all the shops I needed for my stay. Very good restaurants, shops describing the many things which could be done including treks, river cruises, cycle rides, elephants, etc., and also motorcycle and cycle hire; also there were serious local handicraft shops, pharmacies, souvenir shops, massage, and general stores which sold amongst other things anything which might have forgotten to be packed. In the evenings part of this road near the museum was closed for a night market, mainly selling local produce with a few stalls selling food. The second day I enjoyed a cruise up the river to visit a local village where the locals were working at the looms and selling from their houses with a great variety of produce. We then went on to visit the two caves at Pak Ou with over 1000 Buddhas. Leaving the caves, we enjoyed a varied and very enjoyable meal on the way back to Luang Prabang. I was extremely impressed with the absence of litter both in the town and the surrounding countryside. I only stayed for 3 days, and hope to stay much longer next time, staying at the same hotel.
• Flurina (8/5): Review - The villa was nice and the people very friendly and helpful! The rooms were very clean but you could hear almost everything from your neighbours...
• DN (10/5): Good location overlooking the river. - Great location and a 1 minute walk to the main street. Fabulous staff, good rooms and a nice breakfast. Also a short walk to bar street, the night market and just around the corner from Wat Xieng Thong. Bike rental on site. Would definitely stay there again.
• Francois (8/5): Luang Prabang 11/2014 - Very nice hotel. Rooms are a little bit small. Very convenient location. In walking distance from very nice and good restaurants. The breakfast in the morning is good. Staff very helpful.
