Vang Vieng Eco Lodge

The location is wonderful if you want to have a relaxing vacation away from the dust of the city. It is rather far, and tuktuk drivers are trying to charge ridiculous rates (150,000 kip for the 7 km trip!). Make sure you call ahead and arrange pick-up to avoid difficulties when you arrive. The proprietor was very kind and accommodating. The facilities were very clean and pleasant, but they could stand just a bit of attention to maintenance in the rooms (eg. our door wouldn't lock properly, the screens were torn, the towel racks in the bathroom had come down, etc.). Nothing major, just little details. The highlights of the place were the beautiful river view (and swimming!) and the excellent food in the restaurant. We had a lovely visit, and I would strongly recommend this hotel for a quiet get-away.

Lovely setting next to the Nam Song river. Wonderful views of the mountains, paddy fields. Soothing sounds of the river, birds and insects. Ideal place to relax and reflect. Very helpful and friendly staff. The host Mr Praphan very hospitable and knowledgeable. The Thai food is excellent. A great place for a holiday.

Very reasonably priced hotel with nice rooms and also tent accomodation . It is a wee way from town but the owner is a REALLY fabulous and helpful guy.

The location, the welcome, the room, the breakfast were all excellent. However Eco Lodge is too far from the town. It is only accessible by tuck tuck at 80000/100000kips a go. Also, when I went down to dinner at 7.30p.m, the restaurant was closed. WiFi is temperamental.

Spectacular setting approx 8km outside town set right on the river. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hospitable staff with good shuttle service (30 kip) into town.
