Flexibility of staff and management and considerations; conducive to resource -conserving arrangements (e.g. allowing own clothes washing & drying); walking distance to Thai Embassy; availability of meals, telecom billing service, money change service....

“I will come back and stay again in the future if I can!”
I had booked two different rooms at this guesthouse while I was staying in Laos because it is very popular, and I didn't know it would get booked out so quickly; so I had to stay at a different hotel for 2 nights and come back to the Mabuhay later. The first room I stayed in was very spacious, clean, quiet, and peaceful. It had everything you could need, including: a comfortable king-size bed (it was very nice and big), a sofa, a small table, an ensuite bathroom where eveyrthing worked perfectly fine. No toilet paper was provided but it's okay, you can go to the Koko Mart (just further up on the left side of Rue Bourichane past the Royal Thai Embassy, and get toilet paper for 5LAK, it's fine), and a balcony. The sink was big enough to hold everything I needed, including a towel to dry yourself with. The second room I stayed in was much smaller but still more than decent for what I needed. The bed was single and the room has (because it has no window/s), but I still got a cosy sofa chair and a table with different compartments to put things in. I needed to use a shared bathroom for this room because it didn't have its own (like the first room) but it's okay, everything was still really good, clean, and the people staying there knew how to leave things as they found them. Lot of great respect for this guesthouse. <3 I liked the Filippino food that they cooked- delicious! I also made some new friends there too- such lovely, helpful people that if I am ever in Laos in the future, I would like to come back and stay again.

The owners Sarah and Neil are absolutely lovely and me feel so much at home during my stay. I will visit anytime I am in Laos just to spend time with them. The hotel has nice rooms, Air Con and all the rest. Great for the price! Also they are fantastic chefs and have a resteraunt downstairs!

“Incredibly good value for money.”
The rooms are massive. House is dated but clean. We booked last minute when the hotel prices in Vientiane spiked! Far away from the main part of town but can use Loca/InDrive to get around. Staff are super lovely.

Stayed here only for 1 day and everything was clean and Sarah is so nice. I love seeing fellow Filipinos doing good in other countries. Too bad the stay was too short
