The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. The room was clean and comfortable. Ngoc is a wonderful person and does a fabulous job taking care of you while you stay there. She will take care of everything for you, whether that's related to your stay, teaching a cooking class, or booking tuktuks, drivers, tours, or travel. She arranged an afternoon tour of nearby waterfalls and then a visit the next day to Vat Phou with a trip to Wat Phao Salao (climb up the 630 steps) on the way back. The food was delicious and filling. It was so easy to relax here. Highly recommend staying here. It is away from the center, but getting a tuktuk back and forth isn't a problem.

Everything was perfect at Xuanmai Garden Resort. As soon as I arrived, I felt like at home. Ngoc is a great host and did everything to make me feel good. You can have breakfast/lunch/dinner, there's a huge choice of menu. The room is large and spacious. The garden is just amazing. If you are looking for a quiet place, this resort is the good place for you ! It's a bit far away from the center (by walking) but I had a motorbike so this wasn't a problem for me! I recommend this place of heaven 100%.

Nothing. Everything was great.

BEAUTIFUL Oasis! This place is a little paradise in a nondescript part of Pakse. Ngoc and the staff really made our stay and completely looked after us - beautiful human beings. We originally booked for 1 night but ended up staying for 4 in total - we went off in the middle to bike the Bolaven Plateaux loop and they even looked after our big luggage. So kind helpful and showered us with snacks! Thank you Ngoc and team! Will be back!

Was a little far out from 'centre' of town but not the properties fault! Once we rented a bike we were fine.

The care and hospitality that I received from Ngoc and her family while staying at their beautiful hotel, was unmatched. I have been traveling for some time and have been homesick, and the comfort and warmth that was provided to me here was exactly what I needed and made me feel immediately at home. The daily breakfast and dinner that I ate at the restaurant was phenomenal. The vegetarian green curry might be the best that I have had. The room was appointed well and comfortable. Certainly, given the garden setting, a friendly visitor from nature might make an appearance now and then, but that is no bother to me. Quite honestly, when I left I was sad, as I don't know that I will again experience the genuine attention and family-like care that I received here.

Great facilities on the outskirts of town. Good jumping off point to reach the Bolavan Plateau. phenomenal staff with excellent food on site. very helpful host.

No complaints

The room is spacious with a spacious bathroom. It is well designed and furnished. No glass window but shutters that open out onto the expansive garden. The food is great - Vietnamese, Thai, Lao and more. Ngoc goes out of her way to give personal attention to every guest and to make sure everything is okay and to arrange tours or tickets. Three generation Vietnamese, family with Ngoc's daughter and grandmother, residents of Laos.

Nothing much, I did not have a fridge in my room but other rooms did, tv did not work but that was good, who needs it!

This was easily the best stay in Laos which we had, all thanks to Ngoc, the property owner - she helped us during the stay, assisted in organising travel in the region and even arranged the best travel option to Cambodia. She checked up on us at critical points making sure we had the best and safe experience. The food at the property is home made and delicious.

I will start by saying that the owner of the resort is simply amazing. Ngoc is very helpful, and an amazing cook. She was able to assist us with many things, bus, scooter renting. The place is very nice even if not in the city center, but to be honest that did not affect us at all, also because Ngoc is always available and can contact a tuk tuk for you. I definitely recommend the place and I hope to go back soon to enjoy the rice soup in the morning for breakfast in the beautiful garden.

THIS IS THE BEST STAY YOU'LL HAVE IN LAOS! First of all the place is really beautiful and quiet. It's literally a peaceful garden. The rooms were good and the AC worked very well, they were clean. Short, the rooms were good, nothing too special, but the service of this place is simply perfect! The host is so extremely nice and caring. One night we arrived very late because of some issues along the road and still she insisted we called her to wake her up so she could prepare our dinner (at 11:30PM!), of course we did not wake her up out of respect, but the fact that she wanted to do this for us is just amazing. Every time we came for a question and had to wait a little, she gave us fresh ice tea and mango. Also the breakfast was amazing and so fresh! Would really really recommend this place for it's extraordinary service. Especially for this price, you can't get anything better anywhere on the planet!

It was the best place I've stayed in Laos so far. Very friendly and helpful host made me feel at home there. Very clean. Good food. Good laundry service! It's easy to go from here for daytrips to the Bolaven Plateau by motorbike.

Be aware of the motorbike girl. In my impression she tried to cheat me with a broken headlight. Fortunately I had taken a picture of the front of the bike, so I could proof it was not me who damaged it. But this problem has nothing to do with the guesthouse, which has to be rated with 10 stars.
