Luang Prabang Oudomlith Villa & Travel Reviews

I booked a hotel for two days separately. I was given this room on the first day. I didn’t like it very much. The first room on the first floor was very noisy. No matter how much we discussed, we were not given the room for the second day. As a result, we had to move twice in two days. The hygiene was not good.

The staff at the store were friendly.

The little brother at the front desk is really good at English and patient. Everything else is good, in the central area of the ancient city

Hotel cancles booking 10 days before arrival because of "broken bathroom" but offers it back on the booking platform just a few hours after cancellation for for the double price. First tried to make us cancle the room but finally cancles it himself and reoffers it. So you never know if you will get the room or if he cancles to sell for a higher price. Never again

It‘s the best! The Hotel is very Central and the Rooms are nice & clean. Breakfast (we had Banana pancakes) are Yummy. Price is very reasonable. The Host speaks perfectly English and is very helpful. We enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend it.

We stayed there for 1 night in a family suite with balcony room on the second floor. The room was large but the air conditioner was too small and old, we needed to turn on the fan through the night to keep the room ventilated. The toilet was spacious but too dimmed. There was no water heater and the ventilator is broken. TV was lack of signal and there was no remote control. Receptionist was disappointed, as we checked in we had already asked for a van to the airport and booked it in advance for 200k Loas Kip for a ride the next day. On the next day, the van arrived 35 minutes late (seemed like there’s no advanced reservation). We needed to ask for the van multiple times, fortunately we didn’t miss the flight.

Villa Oudomlith (8) have stayed here for 4 days. Centrally located hotel; small hotel, with different types of rooms. Different types of rooms. Smooth check-in, some staff speak English, are helpful.Spacious room with balcony. Several restaurants and shops/grocery shops within walking distance. Many temples nearby, and this is a good location to experience the morning alm.

Check In Date : 26th August 2022. Check Out Date : 28th August 2022. Room : 07. Location : The villa is located right in the heart of the historic old town Luang Prabang. It is basically located at the very centre of LP peninsula. It is not facing the main road (which is good) but it is located just 45 secs walk from the main road. Just next to the villa, there is a very simple and compact grocery store. within 5 mins, there are cafes, souvenir shops, pharmacy and also very near to the 2 rivers that made up the LP peninsula. Going down the hill, there is the mighty river Mekong, which is very beautiful during sunset. Going uphill which is not steep, there is Nam Khan River. Within 10-15 mins walks, I can reach the Royal Palace, Phousi Hill, Night Market and the morning market. The location is SUPER PERFECT. Reception and Service : We arrived at the city around 9.20am. 26th August 2022 which is a blessing. We didnt know that there is Boat Racing Festival, the city is basically dead congested. The tuktuk driver dopped us at Dara Market and we had to walk all the way to the hotel (3km) with 7kg rucksack on our back. We reached the hotel around 10am. To our surprise, we were told that our room is ready and voila, the reception guy let us go in the room 4 hours early with ZERO charge. The recep made a lot of suggestion and had plenty of topics to talk to us. He suggested us to visit the Boat Racing Festival because it is the last day. So we followed his advice and we got to celebrate it like a local. The festival itself is amazing. The recep always helpful to us and always smile. We feel really welcome. We always get a massive greet whenever we come back to the villa. Room : I remember specifically that I book a deluxe room but we got a triple room. That free upgrade came with ZERO costs to our wallet. The room is spacious. The AC is cold. The fridge is working well. The bathroom is massive, and hot water working perfectly. The mattress is soft and despite the wooden exterior, I felt quiet whenever we enter the room. However, there is no elevator provided. Disable people might have to contact the villa if you want to book so you can request for lower room specifically. And since LP is such a charming little town, most of the hotels in the city are also 2 stories with no elevator for sure. I love the room and the cleanliness. Facility : As per said, there are no elevator and the upper room isnt accessible to people with disability. There is a small front yard where tourists can park motorcycle. Breakfast : People choose breakfast from the menu provided. We only get to try the breakfast once because the second day, we went to Tad Sae around 7am. The noodle soup is delicious and we love the fruit plate. The eating area is small, good for chatting with other travelers. But it is simply kept clean at all time. Sleep Quality : 9.9/10. We had a good first day walking around town, immersing with the locals at the Boat Racing Festivals. We slept like a

Location 10/10 Room size 10/10 View 5/10 Amenities 9/10 Breakfast 8/10 Ideal place for the price, owner is friendly, accommodating helped us with bikes Hot water was available round the clock, close to Sakkaline street where the major action happens, walkable distance to river, close to good restaurants and tourist attractions.

New ownership means poor management and unhelpful staff. Amazing location, decent room for price, v average breakfast. We were looking forward to the friendly helpful chap mentioned in other reviews but he has gone!

When I booked I expected breakfast to be included it was part of the deal - but it was not provided. I rely on wifi - it was supposed to be part of the deal - there was no wifi. Free water was provided on day 1 but never replenished as promised. So I ended up paying for breakfasts, paying for water and foregoing wifi.

The host was exceptionally dishonest - we have not had a similar situation in any country in Asia where we have been. After arriving at the hotel, it turned out that there were no rooms for us that we had booked several months earlier. He suggested one night in another place and then "maybe we'll find something". Very aggressive - either you pay for the entire stay (4 nights) and take advantage of the 1-night offer, or you look for accommodation yourself and pay the cancellation fee. He does not accept that it was he himself who did not keep the terms of the contract. The host in the second hotel explained to us that prices had increased since the day of reservation, so it was better for the host to rent the room to another person for a higher price than to worry about confirmed reservations. I don't know what the conditions are like in the hotel and the room because we weren't allowed in, but you certainly won't be sure that you'll be able to stay in the hotel after booking. I warn you against making a reservation.

Reservation made for 4 nights in January 2023. On arrival, reservation not found, we are offered another establishment (probably belonging to the same owner) the room offered is full of mosquitoes but it is 6 p.m. and we are helpless so we accept unwillingly. Finally the receptionist came back after half an hour saying that he had found our reservation and that he had a room for us for... 3 nights. Too tired to argue again we follow him. Our reservation was for a superior double room. We find ourselves in a triple room cluttered with beds, whose window overlooks the noisy corridor of the hotel with a wall as a horizon, we have to turn on the electric light constantly to see clearly. The walls let in the slightest snoring from the neighbors and, icing on the cake, the shower is non-existent. The water is barely lukewarm and the trickle that flows from the old apple only allows you to wet one hand after the other, impossible to wash. We therefore looked for another establishment and we announced to our landlord that we would leave after 2 nights. And there, he demands payment for 4 nights! Even though he could only provide us with 3. We had to fight for hours to only pay half the price of an extra night. We could have called the police but I wanted to leave and finally wash up. I made this reservation via Agoda to whom I submitted my problem. The customer service was outraged and assured me they would contact the hotel but I no longer have any news from them either... I haven't lost hope yet but I doubt I will see my money again one day. day.
