The guesthouse is in a great location, right near to the town but also with lovely views of the countryside. The room was spacious, well equipped, and clean. The shower was hot, and the room was cool with just the fan, although there was ac as well. We spent 4 nights here and enjoyed it. The staff and owner, Abay, were really helpful, especially with transport. We really enjoyed our trips with Souk, the tour guide. We did a day trip to the main sights, then a 2 day trek to stay at a Hmong village near site 52 (plain of jars), this was an amazing trip and fascinating to learn more about the local culture and customs as well as the jars. I would very much recommend staying here and taking at least one of the tours on offer.

Nice view of a village and small dam where people go fishing (you can walk around it). Staff were friendly and one of them spoke good English - they were very helpful and kind. The owner wasn't there when we stayed but he communicated with us via WhatsApp and organised a scooter for us to use for two days (250k kip/day). You can refill your water bottles from a water filter they have in the office.

The bed was very hard (common for Laos), the bathroom was dated and there was a lot of hair on the floor. The shower water goes everywhere when you shower and it stays wet for a long time so you have to walk across wet floor to go to the toilet at night (it would be helpful to have something that you could use to dry the floor after showering). The food was expensive (we didn't eat there as a result). More chairs needed on the upstairs balcony so that you can sit outside.

The bed and pillows were very comfortable , the breakfast was very good and the view from the room was magnificent.The staff were also so kind and caring we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The guesthouse also arranged a tour of the Plain of jars for us with one of there employees named Souk , I can only say it was one of the best tours we have done in Asia, Souk was unbelievable in his knowledge about the area and we saw the most beautiful places with him .It was a full day tour and I would recommend it to anyone that stays in the guesthouse.

That we had to leave this beautiful place.

CENTREPIECE OF MY ASIAN ADVENTURE Sensational stay in a very historic location. All staff at the guesthouse were attentive and friendly, and willing to assist in many different ways. Mr Souk (driver and tour guide) with whom I spent two days is devoted to his community and country, and is a font of knowledge when it comes to Laos history, and is fun to be with. I have to admit a bias…I have travelled within Asia quite a few times, but my primary goal this time was to fill in gaps of my local knowledge, and to reach and experience the Plain of Jars. The staff at the guesthouse all go out of their way to assist and answer any question you may have.

Very lovely guest house with incredible hosts! The aura is very ‘home like’ and comfortable. The amenities were very clean & bed was comfy. The family made the check in & out process very easy. Souk picked us up from the bus depot and was generously hospitable the whole time - along with the rest of the family. Great fresh breakfast, easy to get around & walking distance to food/markets. They also did all of our washing in a day (and there was 5 of us doing washing)!! Bonus, when u wake up, u have an amazing view of the sunrise + mountains. Cannot recommend enough & will be coming back :)

We enjoyed two nights in this guest house which is the perfect location to visit the three main sites of the Plain of Jars. It is also walking distance to the town should you wish to explore, need an ATM or try some of the local restaurants. The owner, Abay, is extremely helpful and is very good at responding to messages, giving advice and generally making sure his guests get the best out of their stay. They offer a free pick up service for those who require it. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable with AC if you need it. The breakfast provided is excellent. The reception area has tea and coffee facilities and you can also but cold drinks and we enjoyed an evening in this area playing cards and talking with other travellers. There is a wide selection of tours that are offered by the guest house and we were so glad to have had Abay with us as his local knowledge and information gave us a real insight and a deeper understanding of this area. WE had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend this guest house for a short or long stay.

The owner and stuff of the Sipanya Guest house were very kind and welcoming. Saying honestly the attitude to guests was the best of our three months traveling expirience. Thank you for transfer from and to bus station. The room was clean, hot water ran well. The location is also very attractive, and funny geckos all around. We loved them very much. We also kindly recomend to book tours from the guesthouse. Our guide Mr. Souk showed us everything, even more what was not in the tour programm. He has very good English, so ask for him if you stay in Sipanya guest house.

Very clean hotel with nice view from upstairs room and balcony across the town and to the distance. Pickup waiting at bus terminal after a long and quite difficult journey was wonderful.Tea and coffee and water are always available in reception which is run by extremely friendly, helpful, and caring staff with good English. Close walk to main Street with tourist sights and restaurants. During my stay the weather became really cold with a freezing wind but I was offered a blanket and given a heater. The biggest asset for my stay was the guide attached to the hotel Mr Souk who is a knowledgeable lifetime local of generations, and has exceptional English. We took a tour of the Plain of Jars and Old Capital and his guiding and ability to pass on so much information and experiences of his family really completed our stay. He was patient, and adapted to our interests and because the weather was so cold and I had bought nothing warm to Laos he even went to his house and loaned me his spare puffer jacket letting me keep it for the remainder of my stay. Thank you so much Souk!

The hot water was cool but the water heater is individual so perhaps not the case for other rooms. No refrigerator if that's an issue but it wasn't for me.

A comfortable and clean guesthouse. Was met when I arrived at the minibus station by Mr Souk who works for the guesthouse. Had an excellent day's tour with Mr Souk. We visited Jar Sites 1, 2 and 3 each of which were very different and atmospheric. Also learnt a lot about Laos history and the amount of UXO remaining in Laos from the second indochina war. Mr Souk was very informative and interesting. His English is excellent and he drove the comfortable minivan very carefully and safely. I'd very much recommend doing a tour with him. I wish I had longer to stay at this guesthouse and do a longer 2 day trek with Mr Souk to visit a Hmong village and other Jar Sites. Sadly I needed to travel on but hope to come back one day.

We loved our stay at this guesthouse! The family that run it are really nice and were so helpful. The free pick up from the bus station was much appreciated after a very long journey from Luang Prabang and they kept the restaurant open to cook dinner for us too. The room is big and comfortable, as well as clean. The bed is big and comfortable, with soft pillows. We highly recommend staying here, it is excellent value for money and a lovely place to stay to explore this area of Laos!

The shower ran a little cold at times but this is common in Laos so shouldn't put you off staying in this guesthouse.
