Harika manzaralar
Pros:

Sabah gün doğumu ile birlikte balon manzaralarını seyredebilmek harikaydı . Balonlar olmasa da tek başına karşı taraftaki dağ manzarasıda harikaydı .

Cons:

Aslında fiyatına göre beğenilmeyecek bir şey yok ama kahvaltı seçenekleri ve kahvaltının kendisini pek iyi değildi. Kahvaltı biraz daha güzel olsaydı iyi bir notu hakederdi.

入住体验感极差，再也不想去这家酒店了！太差太差了！
Pros:

没有任何满意的地方，极差的酒店！再也不想去，完全浪费钱！

Cons:

酒店位置不准确，导航不准！房间超级小，只有一个风扇和床，根本放不下行李箱，厕所是在房间外的共用厕所。房间完全不隔音的，隔壁说话听的一清二楚，房间一股老房子味道不通风的。工作人员也乱带房间，入住体验感极差，再也不想去这家酒店了！太差太差了！

Pros:

Le lit a peut près correct et la vue

Cons:

Chambre Sale avec des murs en bois , qui laisse passer la lumière et où on entend littéralement nos voisins . Obligé de poser nos affaires par terre car même pas un porte manteau. Aucun équipement , Salle de bain sale jamais nettoyé en 3 jours . Aucun équipement adapté pour une sale de bain . pas de porte manteau. Petit déjeuné insignifiant, si vous voulez un jus de fruits, il faudra vous le payer . Personnels gentils mais aucun effort sur l'anglais parlé anglais . Nous devions avoir vu sur le jardin, nous nous sommes retrouvés avec vu sur des toits en taule et une enseigne lumineuse Ça vaut la moitié du prix que nous avons payé. Bref passez votre chemin

Exceeded my expectations
Pros:

Very good experience, I got to Vang Vieng quite late and was in need of a good room. The person who engaged with me was extremely helpful and patient, and allowed me to go through all of the rooms and switch rooms, even after I moved in. The place is also a restaurant, so expect a lot of visitors during the day. Needless to say, the views are amazing. As a plus, the scooter I got from the owner was the best I've had in Asia so far. Good food, if you ask for a great room, you'll get it (assuming they are free). Some of the rooms have amazing views :-)

P.S. I took these pictures from my room (although, the first one via drone, slightly to the EAST).

Cons:

Bungalows are unavailable, it would be a good idea to remove that offer from the booking servcies.

Mooie lokatie maar let op dat je de kamer krijgt die je boekt
Pros:

Mooie lokatie, goede mountainbike te huren, redelijk ontbijt.

Cons:

Moesten echt moeite doen om onze kamer van 25m2 te krijgen. We kregen eerst 2 veel mindere kamer en na lang praten kregen we de juiste. op de bustickets probeerden ze ook een extra toeslag te krijgen.

Nie wieder! Sehr enttäuschend
Pros:

Man hat einen sehr schönen Sonnenuntergang vom Cafe aus. Gerade zum Sonnenuntergang sind viele Heißluftballons in der Luft.
Das Bett war bequem. Abholung von der Zugstation über WhatsApp für 100.000 kip leicht buchbar.

Cons:

Das Hotel war anscheinend überbucht, daher wurde uns ein Zimmerupdate nach 1 Nacht angeboten. Was aber nicht statt fand. Wir waren echt enttäuscht über unser kleines, dunkles Zimmer. Die Räume sind mit Holzbretter abgetrennt. Man hört jeden Schritt oder jedes noch so kleine Geräusch durch die Zimmer. Mir schien sogar nachts durch die Holzritzen Licht ins Gesicht. Die 2 Gemeinschaftsbadezimmer waren ekelhaft. Beim zähneputzen läuft alles aus dem Abfluss vor deine Füße runter. Der Abfluss war sogar am 1 Tag verstopft und beim duschen stand man knöcheltief im Dreckwasser. Das kann man ruhig öfter mal säubern! Ab morgens wir das Cafe von Chinesischen Touristenwellen überflutet. Das ist ein Gewusel und eine Lautstärke am Morgen. Unglaublich. Zum Frühstück kann man wählen zwischen toast mit Marmelade, spiegelei oder Omelett, was sehr lieblos gemacht wird. Obwohl es ein Cafe ist, bekommt man nur Kaffee als Fertigpäkchen. Die Bilder, Hotelbeschreibung und Preisleistung passen absolut nicht überein! Die Bungalows in den Bildern sind komplett verfallen! Nicht nutzbar, denoch werden sie angeboten.

A fuir, chambre minuscule, arnaqué sur le prix
Pros:

Rien à part l'emplacement

Cons:

On nous a arnaqué sur le prix (change bath en lak) pour un placard minuscule au double du prix annoncé par booking. A fuir

Très décevant
Pros:

L'emplacement.

Cons:

Les salles de bain et les toilettes ne sont pas nettoyées. C'est sale, ça pue.
Il n'y a pas de boissons comprises dans le petit déjeuner qui d'ailleurs n'est vraiment pas très varié. Vaut mieux aller manger ailleurs.
Tu paies plus cher en passant directement par eux que par Booking..
