+ It was in a good location, clean and comfy and the staff were absolutely amazing. They were all so welcoming and sat us down straight away with a map of the best places to see/eat in Luang Prabang. They were brilliant with helping us book a tour and were so kind to us

- Nothing, was brill!

+ J'ai beaucoup apprécié mon séjour dans cet établissement qui est exceptionnel. Il est bien situé, à 400 m du centre. A distance de marche on trouve tout ce qu'il faut, restaurants, salons de massage, petits magasins. Il est agréable de visiter la ville à pied et de se promener le long du Mékong. Les gérants de l'hôtel sont très accueillants, ils organisent les activités, peuvent changer les devises étrangères. Le petit déjeuner est inclus ce qui est un plus. Ma chambre était spacieuse et bien équipée.

Staff were helpful with motorbike rental and laundry. The beds were okay but the room was too hot. Photos of the pool are a bit misleading too as it is basically a big bath of water.

I recently stayed at Vongprachan Backpackers Hostel, located in Luang Prabang. Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay with friendly (english speaking) staff, and a good location. The hostel has a cool rooftop with a lot of potential, but the cleanliness was questionable and the pool didn’t seem very well maintained. (Only wifi in reception)

It’s a pretty decent hostel for the price, I wouldn’t stay longer than one night. The staff are very nice and it is clean. However, the pool isn’t actually a pool- it only goes up to your knees. Not very social. Not the worst, but not the best..

Staying here was like staying in a detention center, with a pool. There was 1/5 functional toilets on our floor. The rest were clogged with shit. May I add that the one functional toilet had no toilet seat. We didn’t get a sheet for the bed. I slept in a ball. But maybe that’s okay because the aircon is so bad. Additionally, I slept next to an open window and was awoken by a cockerel. Needless to say, I left after 1 night.

It was an okay experience. The facilities itself were quite old as well as the rooms. The pool was across the street and only one sunbed. I wouldnt recommend it there. There were no vibe at all there

Ostello molto sporco ! Camere, bagni e aree comuni sempre in condizioni pietose , sul “rooftop” la mattina si é costretti a fare colazione su tavoli che non vengono puliti da giorni e per non parlare dell’atteggiamento dello staff, state alla larga ! Allo stesso prezzo potete trovare molto di meglio .

J’ai vécu une expérience extrêmement traumatisante dans cet hostel. Un homme m’a touchée dans mon sommeil lors de ma première nuit. Lorsque j’ai signalé l’agression à la réception, le staff n’a montré aucune empathie et n’a absolument pas pris la situation au sérieux. On m’a renvoyée deux fois dans des dortoirs mixtes alors que je demandais clairement un dortoir féminin. Je ne me suis jamais sentie en sécurité. De plus, des hommes de +60 ans circulaient en sous-vêt...

Buena localización y limpieza. Hay baño en cada habitación y también baños compartidos fuera de la habitación es un acierto. Personal muy amable. Desayuno incluido aunque un poco escaso.
