Pros:

La propriétaire est absolument adorable, très souriante, et vous arrange toutes les excursions, taxi ou tuk-tuk dont vous avez besoin. Elle parle bien l'anglais et un peu le français.
Nous étions seuls dans l'hôtel mais elle nous a quand même cuisiner les repas. Heureusement, car il n'y a rien aux alentours !

Cons:

L'éloignement par rapport au centre de Paksé, mais nous le savions lorsque nous avons réservé !
Chambre et salle d'eau un peu vieillottes.
La mare au milieu du jardin où l'eau croupit pourrait être améliorée ...

Pros:

Rustig resort met kamers die uitkijken op een aangename groene tuin. Zeer goede omkadering door de gastvrouw: Ngoc stond me tijdens mijn verblijf bij met tips en advies om mijn bezoek aan de omgeving van Pakse vlot te laten verlopen. Het eten is er voortreffelijk en laat je kennismaken met de lokale specialiteiten. Het resort ligt buiten het centrum van Pakse (vervoer er naartoe is handig).

Cons:

Niets.

Pros:

La patronne est super serviable et gentille, le jardin est magnifique.

Cons:

La propreté dans l a chambre et les équipements sont juste pour décorer et très vieillot Cet hébergement ne vaut pas le prix annoncé, au Cambodge vous aurez un standing très supérieur à ce prix là.

Immer wieder gerne, sehr empfehlenswert!
Pros:

Eine sehr nette Inhaberin, mit gutem Englisch. Gutes Frühstück nach Karte. Es wird auch Abendessen angeboten, mit sehr guter Qualität und sehr schmackhaft. Man hat sich willkommen gefühlt. Schöner Garten!!

Cons:

Es gibt nichts zu meckern, alles war super, nur die Lage ist etwas außerhalb, sodass man einen Tuk-Tuk immer braucht. Dafür aber ruhig.

Incredible stay
Pros:

If I could give a score of 20 I would. I turned up feeling a bit down on my luck, lingering food poisoning and disillusioned with my trip, but the warm, welcoming attitude and genuine generosity of spirit of the owner and her family turned things around for me. The garden is such a welcome green space in a dusty city and it so cosy and adorable at night-time. The food the restaurant serves is delicious and fresh, it helped me regain my trust in eating again! The included breakfast options are extensive with various drink choices. Hot shower. My room even had a fridge. The bike rental company is on the pricey side but for the convenience of delivery and collection it felt worth it to me.

It was such a pleasant place to be that it really felt hard to leave.

Cons:

The beds are on the firm side but this is pretty normal for south east asia in general so not really the properties issue:)

Belle rencontre
Pros:

Petit hôtel sans prétention installé dans un beau jardin. Chambre et salle d’eau spacieuses et propre. Le vrai plus venant de la gérante qui parle anglais et un peu français et qui rayonne du matin au soir. Toujours disponible pour ses clients elle apporte un confort à votre séjour. N’hésitez pas à manger au restaurant de l’hôtel elle est en plus très bonne cuisinière.

Cons:

Wifi faible
