“Unbelievably kind team and stunning spot.”
Stunning location with a gorgeous pool and balconies overlooking the river and the hills. This was a hidden gem but only 5 mins from the centre of town. The staff couldn't have been more helpful - even looking after my luggage for 3 days when I went trekking, although they were officially closed for the season during that time. A wonderful time had and the team made it even more special, only wish I could have stayed longer.

“Relaxing calm retreat.”
Location is lovely- overlooking the river, close to town but not too close. Beautiful calm location. The dinner menu is great and the food is really good. Sebastian the owner is a wonderful host - welcoming and helpful.

“Delightful and comfortable guest house with excellent hospitality”
Sebastian and Kenny were excellent hosts, and the overall ambience with garden setting was lovely. We enjoyed our balcony, a bit set back but still with a nice view of the river and featured a relaxing chair. We appreciated the use of bikes to get into town although it was also an easy walk. The restaurant for breakfast and dinner was a beautiful spot. The infinity pool with umbrellas was a real bonus.

We recently stayed at Mandala Ou and were thoroughly impressed with the hospitality and the unique location, providing a comfortable space to relax and unwind. One of the standout features of this property is the breathtaking view of the limestone hill and the Ou River right in front. It's a sight that makes the stay truly memorable and unique. The tranquility of the location, being towards the end of the touristy strip of restaurants and travel agents, was a welcome change from the bustling town center. It offered a peaceful retreat while still being close enough to enjoy the local amenities. The onsite restaurant offers a good selection of local and western cuisine at reasonable price. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring our stay was comfortable and hassle-free. We would highly recommend Mandala to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with stunning views. Thank you Sebastian, Kenny and the team for a wonderful experience!

“Very pleasant. Looked after well”
Staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Good location. Food was very good. It was cold in the mornings and evenings so they supplied us with blankets while we were eating and gave us a heater for our room.
