Awesome hostel for the buck! Free brekkie and happy hour are a nice touch. The hostel is cool, but what really made it was Mohamed at the bar. The guy's a legend! He was super helpful and his Mohamed Drink is a must-try. I met some rad people and had a blast. The location is spot on too, can't beat it.
The cleaning staff would enter the room while you were sleeping and talk and shout, even with kids screaming. I thought it was really disrespectful to do that so early while you were trying to sleep

It was very social but not a party hostel. I met friends here that I’ve continued to keep in touch with long after we left Laos. The free breakfast was one of the best I’ve had on my whole trip. The staff were super friendly and accommodating

Me and my friend had signed for for tipsy tubing. Ended up waiting for 2 hrs at the lobby just to hear that they left without taking us. At the end around 3pm the lady the the front desk refund the money and offered us a free tipsy tubing at 3pm. When we reached the start point it was just us and the guy just left us there and ran away. Me and my friend had to do it by our self. Not fun and not safe. I highly recommend not to book tipsy tubing from the hostel.

Run by a lovely Vietnamese family With booking.com I paid 3USD for dorm and breakfast Clean, AC dorms with curtain Always a few people drinking at bar but couldn’t hear at all from my room even when they played loud music Staff were very friendly and cheap to book tours and motor bikes through them - shoutout to Mo who is the sweetest! Breakfast had rice, scrambled egg and fresh fruits, bread Bar cheap, happy hour good, big water bottles at front desk for 10kip, always someone at front desk
- lockers didn’t fit anyone’s bags in rooms - would love if meat could be taken out from breakfast rice and served separately

It was probably one of the best hostel I would say. It wasn’t crazy party there but vang vieng is full parties so we were happy to stay in a fairly quiet place and still enjoy the town. The best thing about this hostel was Mohammed. Honestly he was such a kind soul and helpful person. Waking up and seeing him every morning made our day. He always helped us. Such a kind person I would definitely rebook just to meet him again. It was a group of us and we all loved him. He kept us entertained. Even the other receptionist were super nice as well.
Seriously nothing to complain about.

Loved everything! Starting with the amazing location. Supermarkets, bike rents and laundry services were close and also many restaurants and bars were next door. The rooms were good and also clean. The view out the window and the small balcony made it really comfortable. What we liked most were the swimmingpool and the bar area. They had a big chill out-lounge and a pool-table. The guy working at the bar was so nice and helpful!
nothing.
