“Amazing”
Was not expecting much but this is one of the best hostels I stayed in! We had an amazing view of the Mekong river, so clean and lovely white sheets and a powerful & warm shower! Would definitely recommend staying here!

“Good place for overnight stay”
Staff were very accommodating, cool quiet dorm with big beds, not too full. The view of sunrise over the river in the morning is beautiful!

We originally booked into a mixed dorm with bunk beds but was pleased to know we were given a bedroom with six mattresses on the floor which was pretty comfy. The bathroom was clean and the location was good only having a 10 minute walk back to the port. Tuktuk does pick you up from the pier when you arrive free of charge.

“Super nice !”
Cute little place near the city center (5 minutes walk). The room was big and we were only 3 so everyone had enough space. Amazing view from the room and the balcony, the bathroom was small but efficient. The hostel provides free shuttles from and to the slow boat pier, and you can also pre-order breakfast and takeaway. The bed was comfy, I had a really good night there. Would definitely go back again !

It's a rather confusing setup with multiple places sharing a common area. But this common area is a great place to hang out and enjoy a view on the Mekong. It's a little bit outside the city but you get picked up at the pier. It was also possible to pay on USD if you run out of kip

“Cheap”
Newly built hostel attached to nearby Mekong guesthouse under one owner. Spectacular view over the Mekong river. Nice bunk beds. Free shuttle service for both ways to the slowboat pier (but it's common practice of all the hostels in Pakbeng).

The 8 person dorm was clean and the bed was comfortable, also there where two bathrooms which was more than enough for one night. (in our case 9 persons because there was an additional bed) Pick up at the slow boat pier was a bit confusing, because there where three different house names at the same place and from the same family, just different names. But this was clarified very fast. Payment was later at the hostel, also we where choosing lunch for the boat and breakfast in the morning, which was very good. There was also a transfer back to the boat in the morning but we where walking. As sooner you are at the pier the better seats you will get because there are no seat numbers at the next day and another boat.

This is a very good place to stay when arriving by slowboat. I met a ton of other travellers that were also on the boat and that I ended up going to Luang Prabang with. The beds were comfy and there's a nice riverside terrace with great views. It's good to know that Mekong Backpacker Villa and this is basically the same, just two different rooms but it's run by the same people and the terrace is shared.

“Good hostel for 1 night stay whilst waiting for long boat.”
Ideal for over night stay whilst waiting for second day of the slow boat. Food was really nice too.

It was a bigger dorm than I had booked and the place was very unorganised

They pick you up as you arrive with the boat and take you to the building for free, same service to go back to the boat the morning after. Breakfast included (but I didn’t have so I don’t know what it was about). The location has a great view on the Mekong
