I was only here for 1 night so cant comment properly but it seemed a nice clean hostel and my private room was spacious apart from not having any toilet paper in it. Staff were really friendly and helpful with booking my onward travel

pretty rough hostel, toilets were always disgusting, water didnt work at all for one night we were here, not much of an atmosphere but it is low season so not much to complain about there. would not stay here again. also be careful when checking in, they try to charge you full price for the room after you have already paid a portion of it through hostelworld, i was only able to pay the lesser amount as I refused profusely. staff were otherwise friendly enough.

Stayed here for one night prior to starting the Pakse (Bolaven) Loop. Hostel was pretty empty and super quiet and clean, pool table is in nowhere near the condition it’s pictured but still fun to play in the evening as there isn’t much out in Pakse. Bathrooms were really decently sized and hot water was available. The only thing is the walls are paper thin and sound really travels were woken up by a couples late night and early morning activities but other than that stay was pleasant.

We were really looking forward to go to this hostel. We booked a double bed with ensuite. Unfortunately when we arrived after quite a long walk from the town center, the staff told us there were no ensuite with double bed room and the toilet were at the first floor. Not convenient really and hard to compromise. The staff told us that it is not the first time this issue happened.

Overall it wasn’t an awful stay for a stopover in Pakse, however not sure why the reviews are as high as they are!! The hostel doesn’t look anything like the photos and was actually very dirty. Beds aren’t allocated so at a first come first serve choice, however the beds we chose looked like they had been slept in and not changed! The room also smelt really bad like egg. Lockers under the beds were very small so couldn’t fit in all our stuff. Location close to everything. Staff were fr...

I had a great stay. In particular I met a great lady called Daa. She was incredibly and made my trip to Pakse one of the best times of my life.

Nice quiet hostel in a good location. I didn't actually see a bar though, but I could have just missed it. The owner was super friendly

The pictures make the property look a lot nicer than it actually is. Clearly it’s been quite a few years since those pictures were taken. This was an okay place to stay, but truly nothing special. The social area was pretty dead and way too hot to be comfortable in anyway. The rooms are decent but beware if you’re on a top bunk you’ll feel little to no benefits from the air conditioning

Good hostel but not as social as it’s made out to be, was very quiet when I stayed there with half empty dorm and not many people to be seen downstairs. Very helpful staff when booking onward travel

The beds were good but the cleanliness was very weak. The staff and I had a lot of missunderstandings.There is a lot of potential in this place, maybe in some time it will be better.
