    I love the quiet setting and air around the guesthouse as its away from the central street. Staff is polite and helpful and the free pickup was godsend because of the long journey from Luang Prabang, I arrived at 6+pm and raining.

    Offer of a free pick up from the airport/bus station was very much appreciated and one of the biggest selling points for this place. Good location, unfortunately the bus station is no longer right next door but it is still a handy location 5...

    Good value for money, the hosts were helpful at booking tours with guides or if you wanted to rent a motorbike and go your own way. Close enough to the restaurant options in town.
