The manager was very accommodating and friendly, he couldn’t have done more for us & the staff were very helpful! Although a little out of town the free shuttle bus was very prompt & we used it a lot. Beautiful natural surroundings and river-view as well as great breakfasts served to our rooms. The bread and Laos coffee was superb!

A very beautiful courtyard by the Nam Khan River. I live in an independent and unique small house. It is very quiet at night. Waking up to the sound of insects and birds and having breakfast in the pavilion by the river is what we expect from a life of lying down. The service is great, and there is a free shuttle bus to and from the city. Recommended to friends who want to experience the local life in Laos. There are many trees, flowers and plants in the courtyard, so it is inevitable that there will be insects. Friends who mind should choose carefully.

Thongbay was amazing! Staff were wonderfully attentive and I felt like a very valued guest. Rooms were simply furnished but everything you needed was there from mosquito nets to fridge. I loved the view, and the breakfast, served on my balcony, was delicious. The shower was powerful, the pool divine and the gardens simply beautiful. I had been a little worried about the location as it’s outside the town but need not have been - there’s a free mini van each way multiple times a day but I did walk once and it only took 20 minutes. Plus I was grateful to be outside the noisy town. If you’re not a fan of nature this might not be the place for you, but I felt it was exactly what I needed - falling asleep to the sound of frogs and cicada, and waking to birdsong. My only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer!

My stay was fantastic. The hotel is located a little bit outside of Luang Prabang, quiet, but there are several shuttles in the evening to reach the night market. The bungalow is very comfortable and the staff is lovely and attentive. They helped us with our excursions and to get our train tickets. One of the best stays we have had in Asia for a long time. To recommend without hesitation.

Friends, it's very good! I plan to take my parents abroad to relax during the National Day holiday. After careful selection, I chose Thongbay. Because the company did not inform me of the holiday information in time, I used two apps to book hotels, both of which were Thongbay. The experience can only be said to be very good! When we left the hotel, the two elderly people also expressed high praise and strong reluctance, which made me very relieved. Our English is not very good, and we are more worried about communication difficulties when we arrive, so I sent an email to the hotel in advance, explaining my itinerary and that I used two apps to book the hotel. The hotel quickly replied to me and said that they understood our itinerary. When we arrived on the same day, we provided our passports, and the boss quickly got our itinerary and booking status. After a series of thoughtful instructions (including how to order breakfast for the next day, when the hotel can pick us up in the city for free, etc.), the boss took us into our room, which is very local and very clean. In the room, the boss also told us very considerately and in detail how to use the shower, how to use the air conditioner, how to use the fan, and that we must close the doors and windows from 6:00-7:00pm, because the flower-legged mosquitoes are very dense during this period. During the explanation, as long as there is something that I don’t understand, the boss will patiently explain it again. On the morning of the second day of check-in, we went to the waterfall. The driver we found came to pick us up in advance and told the boss about our trip to the waterfall. So when we were leaving, the boss stopped us and gave us a backpack, saying that there were towels and other supplies in it. If we finished swimming in the waterfall, we could use the towels inside. Really super considerate! The most amazing thing is that on the third day of our stay, we went to the charity site and couldn't find the way back to the hotel. We finally followed the map and walked to the vicinity of the hotel. We met the hotel's puppy. The puppy must have gone out to play. When passing by us, it suddenly turned around and walked forward to lead the way. If we walked slowly, it would stop and wait for us. It took us to the door of the hotel. After the hotel owner said morning to us at the door, the puppy wagged its tail and turned around and walked away. Long live the puppy!

This place far exceeded my expectations. The grounds are lovely, you walk through a garden to get to the bungalows on the river. The service is impeccable, down to the little details but also with a warmth that feels like a family welcoming you as new friends vibe rather than servants sucking up to you. Just ridiculously nice and helpful people. Informative check in. There's a pool with sun chairs if you get tired of chilling on the balcony. Food is fantastic, from breakfast delivered to your door to dinner (try the lemon coconut chicken, you'll thank me later). Rooms are in good condition with ac and fan. Wifi everywhere. The only reason this might not be for everyone is it isn't downtown -- but that's also a plus for the peace and quiet and there are free shuttles there and back six times a day (and it's super cheap and quick if the times don't work for you). An absolute steal at this price and if you think it's not a good place to stay there's something seriously wrong with you.

We had a really wonderful stay at Thongbay Guesthouse. Our hosts could not have been more helpful - straight away they offered us an upgrade to a ‘river view’ bungalow as they thought the others might be too busy for us with other families staying. They also made sure we had everything we needed with regards to transport into town and use of swimming pool. Although the guesthouse was a little far from town, they provided free transport in the day and evening which was amazing. It was also possible to walk to town if you really wanted! We thoroughly enjoyed the food served in the restaurant, which we thought was reasonably priced. The bungalows themselves are well cared for and rustic - fantastic value for money. Would recommend staying here for a trip to Luang Prabang.
