I would come back again and again, I don’t know what another people think about this hotel but for me is perfect and the staff here are very kind and helpful, relaxing by the river and you can jump in the river. Would recommend 100%

This is the best homestay i’ve been! Beautiful location, food is amazing. You can order whatever you want all day long until 10pm. Staff helps you with booking a taxi or tuktuk to the city center. You can walk there as well, it’s around 30mins. I’ve met some amazing people there. Swimming in the river was also very nice

A very cool hostel! I loved the hammocks right next to the river, all in all it was very chill! the beds were nice, the blankets were lovely. The food was also good! Everything is made out of wood, i liked the vibe! It‘s no party hostel - it has a chill social vibe which was amazing. The rooster was very loud in the morning and location is a bit from the center, but there is a free boat shuttle!!:)

Sehr schönes Hostel. Der offene Stil ist zwar schön aber dadurch hört man halt alles und ohne Türen fühlt man sich jetzt auch nicht super sicher. Trotzdem war die Atmosphäre echt super

I enjoyed my stay here, the accommodation itself and the restaurant and social area were good. The dorms were open with no key/card but it felt very safe, just make sure to bring a lot of mosquito repellant as they're really bad at night.

Auberge idyllique au bord de la rivière. On y dort et mange très bien ! Un peu excentré de la ville mais le bateau navette est très pratique. Le personnel est très sympathique et parle très bien anglais

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here! The bed was comfy, the dorm space was quite clean, and the staff were very kind. I wish instead of mosquito nets, they’d provide curtains for more privacy, but I súper easily rented a scooter with them, and really enjoyed the complimentary sunset cruise they organize.

An amazing stay at Sa Sa Lao!! Such a warm welcome from the team and we stayed in one of their beautiful riverside private rooms with a balcony where we could watch the sunset. There’s a free boat ride into the town on across the day which we enjoyed and you can lounge by the river on multiple seating areas if you like as well! Our highlight was the discovery menu tasting courses which was delicious, thank you Sa Sa Lao!

It's a very chill place over all but there are some things to improve on. There are no individual lights or power outlets for the beds in the dorm. So it's very annoying to do stuff when other people are sleeping. Also no curtains for the beds. Also over the 3 nights I stayed here every morning it was pretty loud early in the morning. So not for people that like to sleep long.

It's a lovely location on the river and nice dorm designs with the mosquito nets and comfy beds. It's a 20-30 min walk to the centre depending on where you're going. Or a free boat shuttle which is fun. Floor seemed constantly sandy. Staff pleasant but not the most welcoming or involving. The dorms are quite loud with external noise too, e.g. nearby karaoke, which kind of took away from the point of booking a place like this!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Sa sa lao et je recommanderais cette auberge avec grand plaisir ! Tout était disponible sur place, il y a un super restaurant où tout est préparé devant nous, une croisière sur le Mékong offerte par le logement (qui était merveilleuse à faire) et également une navette bateau gratuite qui nous dépose et nous récupère au centre de la ville. L’ambiance de cette auberge donnait envie d’y rester un long moment ! Profitez bien de votre séjo...

tolle Lage (auch wenn etwas abseits vom Zentrum) direkt am Fluss mit Möglichkeit ein kostenloses Wassertaxi zu nutzen und zu baden. man fühlt sich wie im Dschungel. Leider sind die Bungalows nicht sehr sauber und auf dem Dach waren offenbar Ratten, die Nachts aktiv waren und das ein oder andere Insekt im Bad, da die Hütten nach oben offen sind. Insgesamt eine tolle, urige Unterkunft. Wenn man sich dessen bewusst ist, kann man eine gute Zeit haben.

little corner of paradise in the jungle, just a bit outside the city center, which is ideal for me but maybe not for you, just keep it in mind before you book. bonus tip be sure to have mosquito repellent with you. ✌️

Hostal muy acogedor, todo hecho de bambú, las camas son muy cómodas y los baños en los dormitorios compartidos están limpios siempre. Precioso chillout junto al río. Ofrecen servicio de barca al centro gratuito. Personal muy amable y atento. Muy buen sitio para desconectar y relajarse (lo único malo, el karaoke de los vecinos)
