Vang Vieng Sabai Sabai Hostel

The bathroom was kept clean and well maintained. The breakfast was also fine and was probably one of the better aspects of the stay. The bed was comfortable, which was also a plus. Honestly, I don't understand how this hostel has such a high overall rating. After reading the most recent reviews, I noticed that many of them are actually quite negative, and unfortunately, my experience was similar. The room had an unpleasant musty smell and the air inside was not very pleasant. I also noticed what looked like some mould near the bottom of the walls, so I was glad that I slept on the upper bunk. I also found small red stains on the bed sheets that looked like blood or possibly bed bug marks. Fortunately, I personally did not have any problems with bed bugs. Another important point is that the hostel looks considerably better in the photos than it does in reality. The photos give a much nicer impression of the place than what I experienced. The staff were also not particularly friendly. I had the feeling that once I mentioned that I wasn't planning to book any tours through the hostel, their attitude towards me became rather neutral. This is something I've noticed with some hostels in Southeast Asia: they offer relatively cheap accommodation to attract customers and then make additional money from tours and other activities. I also used the laundry service, but unfortunately, my clothes were not ready at the promised time. When I finally received them the next day, they were still very damp, so I had to ask them to dry them again. I understand that the high humidity may have contributed to this, but in the end I still had to finish drying the clothes myself in the room. Overall, I was quite disappointed when I arrived. I regretted not choosing one of the other, much better options in a similar price range and not checking the most recent reviews instead of relying mainly on the overall rating. Personally, I would not stay here again. I believe there are much better options available.

Ich habe dort 3 Nächte gebucht gehabt. Allerdings schon direkt am Anfang Flecken (wie Filzstiftflecken, was auf Bettwanzen hindeutet) auf der Matratze entdeckt. Als ich Nachts im Bett gechillt habe, sind ungelogen in 15 min bestimmt 3 Bettwanzen über die Matratze gelaufen, alle in verschiedenen Entwicklungsstadien, manche kleiner manche größer, mich hat es überall gejuckt aber ich dachte, komm die Nacht ziehst du durch, was schon dämlich war. Am nächsten Morgen bin ich direkt zur Rezeption, hab erklärt was ist, dass ich früher auschecken will und mein Geld zurück möchte. Er hat garnicht weiter nachgefragt (anscheinend schon bekannt dass sie Bettwanzen haben) und mir aber nur eine Nacht erstattet statt drei. Ich sagte dann, dass ich es nicht fair finde und normalerweise ich das ganze Geld zurückbekomme sollte. Er war sehr unfreundlich, meinte dass er das doch nicht machen kann und dass ich froh sein kann, dass ich jetzt dann zwei Nächte erstattet bekomme. Unglaublich!! Er hätte mir definitiv alles erstatten müssen und mir noch Geld geben sollen für meine ganze Wäsche, die ich bei 60 grad waschen lassen muss, damit ich die Bettwanzen nicht mitschleppe…

Very average property. It’s fine but that’s as far as I’d go Not at all clean, bed bug infestation and stains on sheets. Staff were also very unhelpful

Bed bug infestation. Would avoid based on poor cleanliness. Other than that very average place with unhelpful front desk staff

BED BUGS!!!!!! SO dirty. Staff didn’t care that there were bed bugs in the room. Booked to stay for 4 nights, ended up leaving after 1 night. Disgusting.

BED-BUGS BED-BUGS BED-BUGS !!!!! The staff knew there where bedbugs Ind one of the beds an stil put us in the same dorm as the bedbugs and wouldn’t give us a refund Stay away at all cost.

Établissement bien situé et le petit déjeuner inclus est top. La piscine est vraiment bien quand il fait chaud. La porte du dortoir ne fermait pas correctement et la propreté de la salle de bain n’était pas top. Le lavabo de la salle de bain fuyait. Je me suis aussi fait piquer sur tout le corps pendant la nuit sûrement par des punaises de lit…et quand je l’ai signalé on m’a dit de chercher moi-même un lit de libre dans les autres dortoirs. Je ne recommande pas forcément cet établissement.

Le personnel très sympa qui m'a même accompagné pour m'acheter un nouveau téléphone suite à un problème d'eau. Petits déjeuners avec choix. Distributeur d'eau, billards, piscine. Lockers petits uniquement pour les objets précieux. Tout s'est bien passé sauf la dernière nuit où un groupe a fait du bruit jusqu'à 3 h du matin en sachant que notre chambre est celle donnant sur les communs. Eau très chaude le soir avant d'autres personnes se sont plaints qu'ils n'avaient pas d'eau chaude. Je recommande quand même car pour avoir fait le tour des auberges et la peur de punaises de lit à Vang Vieng, nous n'avons rien eu. Très chiant les objets qui tombent en bas si vous êtes sur lits superposés, mais bon c'est partout pareil ?

Swimming pool was nice Bedbugs!!!!!! I found bedbugs in my bed at night, awful experience. I told the staff and they brushed it off. They weren’t helpful about the situation at all. In general the staff weren’t friendly and seemed annoyed most of the time. Also not a social hostel.

Rien Vérifier bien la literie avant de vous y installer car il y a des punaises de lit dans cet établissement !!

The staff were really helpful and friendly. The room however was unacceptable. The toilet was leaking, obvious signs that the leak had tried to be sealed, however it needs to be fixed properly. The plughole was blocked and the shower didn’t drain and as a result, the bathroom smelt terrible. To top it off, my boyfriend woke up with bites on his leg. On further inspection, it was clear that the bed had bed bugs. We are hoping that none made it in to our bags for onward travel! Would not recommend or return to Sabai Sabai.

Présence de punaise de lit dans le lit.

Excellente localisation, bon petit déjeuner, la piscine et la laundry sont un plus. Équipement OK, sanitaires propres. Les chambres mériteraient d’être nettoyées plus régulièrement. Ambiance assez calme pour une ville comme Vang Vieng, backpackers respectueux. Seul inconvénient ; nous étions deux et avons tous deux eu des punaises de lit dans nos lits individuels. Bien inspecter le lit avant de vous y installer et inspectez vos affaires en partant pour ne pas les embarquer avec vous ! Cela peut malheureusement arriver dans les hostels avec du passage.

Staff was nice, equipment good as well, but I have to leave a bad review, because the place is infested with bed bugs, really hope my belongings are not infested now... Infested with bed bugs

commen area, guy at the reception was very nice we had bedbugs in one bed and the whole thing was semi clean, i had to move out after a day
