“One of our best hotel in Laos.”

The location, the design both in the rooms and the lobby/restaurant.

“Idyllic location with super friendly team.”

Lovely peaceful location. No cars! We had Mai Sak “lodge” which was wonderfully spacious and peaceful. Two terraces to sit and relax at lodge. Restaurant food and staff were all superb. Very helpful reception staff, helped to ensure smooth departure and bookings for visit to Wat Phu Champasak and Friday market. Both best done as early as you can manage!

Lovely find! Very unique and very enjoyable! Excellent value for money. Spa was reasonable and good. Great pool and wonderful Mekong River outlook! Loved there were NO mosquitoes! Special mention to Sam for all his help.

“Quirky but not for us”

The setting of the hotel was beautiful and the rooms were clean and beds comfy.

Wonderful location & great staff

“No better place to stay than La Folie Lodge”

This was our third stay at la Folie Lodge over the last 10 years. I think management would be hard pushed to find more enthusiastic guests. It is a wonderful place and, located on an island in the Mekong, is quite literally out of this world. The entire experience is simply superlative. The rooms are lovely, the vista from the balcony over the river to the sacred mountain of Vat Phu inspiring, the pool immaculate, the restaurant excellent and Mr Alom's staff charmingly attentive. Special thanks must go out to his second in command, the genial Mr Sam from Pondicherry who raised our enjoyment of this visit to even greater heights. His apparent ability to be everywhere simultaneously when you needed him coupled with his friendly, courteous and discreet assistance transformed our days. Thank you Mr Sam!

“just great”

all/ the location is exceptional / the restaurant/ pool area is super cozy / bungalovs comfortable and private - great place

“Brilliant location in southern Laos.”

Brilliant location. Wonderful staff. Efficient across every aspect of the organisation. Nice rooms. Ecologically aware and supportive of local schools.

Stunningly beautiful location. Loved our bungalow. Food was great too!

Magnificent location by the river, complete tranquility, authentic interior and exterior design, tasteful decorations, attentive staff... My only regret is that I didn't book more days to stay.

“It is such a lovely hotel we will definitely return .”

What a fabulous hotel; this is a real gem! The hotel is set in a beautiful location on the banks of the Mekong. The hotel is very well maintained and the staff are extremely helpful and pleasant. Sam the manager was delightful and helped us with transfers etc. we used the bicycles to explore the island and the nearby town of Champasak on the mainland. Where we found two lovely cafes. The food in the hotel was excellent and there was plenty of choice. There was a nice but basic little restaurant on the island called Mr Mees where we ate a couple of times. We will definitely return when we visit southern Laos again. Sadly no fridge in the room; this would have been a nice addition. We enjoyed the pool area very much but our only gripe was the yoga teacher seemed to conduct her calls on loud speaker in this area which was distinctly irritating for the guests. It would have been nice if she could have considered others!

“A very nice and pleasant experience!”

Location ! The place is so peaceful and quiet! The staff is very friendly and professional . The manager Mr. Sam is very nice and very professional! You can rely on him to organize things.
