Pros:

Gateway를 나가서 오른쪽 내리막길로 쭉 내려가면 혼자서도 Don마을로 트래킹 할수 있다.
Staff들은 친절했고 계속 청소를 했으나 리셉션의 젊은 여자는 도미토리를 예약한 내가 더 비싼 방에 머물기를 바랬고 규정이라며 새벽버스를 타고 온 나를 1시반까지 체크인을 안 해줬고 내가 27US dollars의 반나절 트래킹을 취소하자 불쾌해하며 환불해주려 하지 않았다
.view는 산 뷰이고 논뷰가 아니다.

Cons:

샤워기 머리가 분리되어 샤워하는데 많이 불편했고 도미토리 아래가 부엌인데 스태프들의 크게 대화해서 일찍 잠이 깼다.

Great location to explore valley on foot
Pros:

Good location for exploring the valley on foot.
The room we initially booked was no longer available, but we received a free upgrade to a larger one. The bed was comfortable and the pillows too. Bottles of water were provided daily. One towel for each person and some toiletries.

There was a mosquito net as well as air conditioning with a heating option in the room, which was nice when the nights got cold.

The view from the dining room is fantastic.
The food in the restaurant was delicious, though on the pricier side.

The staff speaks English well and is helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The room was spacious but could be improved by adding more storage. There was only one small table and two chairs, and nothing in the bathroom, so it can feel cramped quickly.

The rooms are built of wood, so when it rained the room became quite humid. There were also many woodworms making loud noises throughout the night.

Breakfast was only available for a short time, from 7–9 a.m., which made it difficult to sleep in if you want to fully rest and enjoy this beautiful location.

Pros:

Personal freundlich, bemüht jedoch deutlich überfordert

Cons:

Schrecklich Erfahrung, sehr hellhörige sehr einfache überteuerte Zimmer. An geruhsamen Schlaf kommt man hier nicht. Man hört das Schnarchen und Pupsen des Nachbarn, als läge er direkt neben einen.
Mittags kommen zwei große Touristen Busse und kübeln hier massig Leute zum Essen aus. Dann wird das komplette Hotel kopiert und man kann nur flüchten.
Ich kann nur jeden Abend beraten hier zu wohnen! laut, mieses Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Esperienza positiva
Pros:

Personale gentile e disponibile. La terrazza del ristorante ha una vista mozzafiato. Ristorante buono, colazione buona.
Pu Luong è bellissima da visitare, oltre alle risaie la cosa più incredibile è la kho moung cave.

Cons:

La terrazza family con balcone con vista in realtà aveva diversi alberi che coprivano il vero panorama 😊😅 la stanza era comunque carina e spaziosa peccato per i tarli che ci hanno svegliato all’alba dal rumore che facevano.

Pros:

The staff here were amazing and went above and beyond for me, even kindly putting on a cooking class. The view over the rice paddies was stunning and it was a really peaceful and easy to access good walks from.
My room was really lovely too with an amazing view and balcony. They provided extra blankets when it was cold.

Cons:

I really loved the property, the only thing is the private rooms whilst all separate, there is a small area near the ceiling were the partition finishes and so is open. It’s very high up so your neighbours couldn’t see in, but it meant the noise between rooms travelled/ I could hear my neighbours talking quite clearly…. This didn’t bother me as all the neighbours were very quiet and respectful, but it did make things feel a little less private
