Pros:

The location is excellent for walking from boat only a 5-10 minute walk depending on how quickly you can walk up hill.
Hotel is very quaint in look and feel only downside is a lack of a/c but location to river and plenty of fans in room keep the air circulating.
The room and bathroom were spottlessly clean the staff were gracious and helpful.
The lovely view from the balcony.
Great breakfast in the morning.

Cons:

There wasn't anything.

Beautiful view in the early morning.
Pros:

It's probably the most beautiful view early mornings.
Very convenient for the slow boat.

Cons:

I booked in advance, those who just turned up paid a lot less than I did - this has happened a lot in low season in other hotels too. If it's low season don't book in advance

Pros:

Die Unterkunft liegt direkt oberhalb des Peers und daher sehr zentral. Unser Zimmer hatte einen tollen Blick auf den Fluß und war für die eine Nacht als Zwischenstopp gut ausgestattet.

Cons:

Dadurch das es eine Holzhütte ist, kommen kleine Insekten leichter rein, es gibt aber ein Insektenschutz über dem Bett. Es waren aber nicht viele Insekt da, wir hatten in geschlossenen Hotelzimmern schon mehr Insekten als hier.

A perfect pakbeng stop off!! 🐘
Pros:

A perfect stay here with views of elephants, ideal location for the slow boat, including a delicious welcome drink and breakfast!! Also the bag pick up from the slow boat was amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful and even searched high and low for a ring I lost at the property. Thank you!

Short walk to Boats
Pros:

I loved the traditional timber and rattan building perched on the Mekong riverbank.
Genuine friendly welcome from staff, and very good breakfast meal and service.
My large double room was very clean, with good linen on the comfortable bed, a desk and luggage storage space, and spotless ensuite.
Best of all is the deck, with chairs and table and amazing river and rainforest views.

Pros:

Perfect place to stay after a long day on the slow boat. Great location, they picked up our luggage when we arrived and it's just a 5 minutes walk in the morning back to the boat. Room was super clean, AC was great and the balcony overlooking the Mekong is the absolute highlight.

Pros:

The room and bathroom were spacious, having the balcony and chairs that overlooked the river to unwind was great, and there was a restaurant right next door with another great view! Upon arrival they created you with a nice cold towel and tea which was very welcoming after a full day on the Mekong River.

Très bien! Ideal après la journee slow boat!
Pros:

Personnel accueillant, serviable. Les bungalows sont super bien situés et surtout très charmant! Prenez une chambre avec terrasse, au lever du soleil, pour boire un café c’est incroyable de se réveiller avec le Mékong qui prend vie.
Lit/douche/clim tout est nickel!

Cons:

Pas grand chose…

Perfekt beliggenhet!
Pros:

Perfekt beliggenhet, utmerket pris! Akkurat det vi ønsket oss!

Cons:

Noen mygg og kakerlakker kom inn under nattens regnskyll under dørkarmen, men dette er å forvente når man sover på et overnattingssted i jungelen.

I’d rather have a good hostel dorm than this…
Pros:

It’s really pretty and it’s super close to the pier where the slowboat gets off.

Cons:

There was a cockroach that walked on my bet just before I went to sleep which made me jump up from my sleep whenever the mosquito net would touch my leg. Later I found a worm and a dead spider in the room. The room is not properly closed off so every little bug can come inside… the bed was also quite hard and the mosquito net had wholes in it so I still got stung.

Pros:

Just above the boat pier. The room is amazing. Air conditioned. Toiletries provided. The balcony overlooks the river. Walking distance from lots of food options and convenience stores. Excellent green surroundings. So peaceful. Simple but nice breakfast. Wish I stayed longer.

Cons:

You have to climb up a hill to get there so do some cardio before coming.
