Pros (+) This place- the staff, the food, the ambiance, the activities- are EXCEPTIONAL. We splurged to stay here after staying at mostly hostels/hotels/home stays, but it was worth it! We slept so well- the beds are divine, the tents and sounds of the river are beautiful. The breakfast spread is so delicious!
Cons (-) Nothing. Everything is pure luxury!

Pros (+) We stayed at this retreat to celebrate a birthday and had a really enjoyable experience overall. The property is well-maintained, with a nice pool, friendly staff, and well-presented food. The team even went out of their way to make a birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday, which was a really thoughtful touch. The manager, Carl (from New Zealand), stood out. He was approachable, helpful, and gave u...

Pros (+) This small luxury hotel is incredible. Not only is the setting picturesque, but the staff are super friendly, know your name and would do anything to make your stay memorable. As it was my birthday, they went out of their way to provide me with a birthday cake and Karaoke on the Sunset cruise that we had booked, which they normally don’t do. After getting off the shuttle, we were whisked off to ou...

Pros (+) Great concept. A fantastic, secluded spot a little out of the town. The restaurant and bar were great. The rooms were ok. They seemed a little cramped together and lacked some privacy and considering the size of the plot this seemed a little odd. Our room had no where to sit outside which was a shame. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.

Pros (+) Incredible hospitality from Carl and his team of beautiful humans. The small touches went a long way, turn down service, the little gifts left each night on my bed, how they top up your water frequently at the pool. I was SOOOOOO glad I stayed out of town- Luang Prabang town is beautiful but noisy and this place was pure peace. The breakfast (unlimited a la carte) was outstanding. The coconut crep...
Cons (-) The tour prices are expensive, as was airport transfers.

Ronja, Apr 2025
Pros (+) The Namkham Hotel is a super quiet and relaxing oasis along a river with a nice view and beautifully decorated houses. It is quite big but it still seems very relaxing because there are many hidden spots like little yoga retreats and little pools, play areas for kids, a beach, fire place, gym, organic gardens etc. But everything is open and seems to flow with nature. I must say it has a spiritual ...

Maarten, Apr 2025
Pros (+) Well managed resort, where employees at the reception, pool or restaurant seem to know you by name. Not sure how they do this, because we don't carry badges or post our photo somewhere. Very spacious accommodation with view on river and romantic and comfortable sleeping in tent with airco. Cosy warm LED lighting at night. Quiet at nights with only sounds of animals and no music, bars or traffic. F...
Cons (-) As can be expected from a remote location the prices are relatively high ($65 for dinner), especially since they add additional charges for tax (10%), service(10%), credit card (3%), and an optional tip. We were invited for a happy hour with one free drink for every one ordered but noted that both drinks were charged. When we complained about this they said that the free second drink did not apply...

Pros (+) Room was great (stayed in the art deluxe) and the resort is very pretty, many things to do, really liked being able to cycle into Luang Prabang. For at restaurant was fine
Cons (-) Two things: the breakfast was really not good enough for the price. No buffet, you had to order and each time disappointing: first time I ordered a feu (traditional Lao soup), except it was not a feu: wrong noodles (vermicelli instead of the normal flat rice noodles), broth tasteless. Second time I ordered bread and croissant which was really bad- bad quality toasts and cardboard tasting croissant...
