Lakangthong 2 Freindly House

Resort

Friendly Hostel? That must be a joke, we tried to check in today while we had a booking that said specifically (bed for 2 guests) they had 1 entire week to let us know that the bed is just for 1 person and they didn't have the double, but of course they didn't let us know anything, so time to check-in and the guy that works at the desk started to be really unpolite, saying that we wanted to fool him, that he knows people like us etc. He started to scream blaming us for something we didn't do, cause the booking was perfectly clear and gave us right. In the end we decided to leave the hostel and find something else and definitely better in price, hope this review can be helpful for all those who want to book in this structure. Just don't do it. They have no idea on how to treat customers at all, Luang Prabang is a beautiful city… do not ruin your experience at this place booking with them.

Made a reservation for 2. When we showed up they asked for more money for 2 people. I told them that the booking made online clearly says 2 adults and the total price is given for 2 people. I showed them my confirmation and even pointed it out to them on their own computer! Luckily we were able to cancel our reservation online at no cost. We did not stay here.

Beds are clean, breakfast was good. Management, specially reception (who apparently runs the place) was ironically not friendly at all. I was planning to stay two nights so assumed I could leave my towel on my bed (and I used my own cause the reception guy said they are out of fresh ones) and it be fine. When I came back it wasn’t there (cleaning staff took it away assuming everybody left the room when clearly my backpack was addressing something entirely different) and I spoke to the same person and he got angry and said I can’t take care of everything and raised his voice on me and when I invited him to calm down, he said I don’t have time to talk I am watching TV. I tried talking to him resolve the situation but he got angry again so I decided to put an end to the story and left. If you can’t manage everything why bother managing at all. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. There way better places in Luang Prabang with the same price or cheaper and better management.

Here are bed bugs. Do not book! The owners know it and they don't care. We had to pay the complete stay there are bed bugs. Do not book. They know and don't care. We didn't even got a refund!

Best value! The rooms are cheap ($15 for a double) but very clean, with good internet and TV (some English premium chanels like HBO), and breakfast included (coffee is terrible but the food is fresh and tasty). About 10 minutes on foot from the night market.

The place is very well located, has a very good breakfast and with lots of variety. The room that we took was a double with air conditioning, private bathroom, refrigerator and television. Everything looked very good however my partner woke up with some bites strangers in the skin, and by reviewing we find a "Bed bug" between the pillow, we immediately changed the room and apologized; this new room to review it cautiously to see if there was anything suspicious and we decided to stay only because we had already paid and ask for the return was a long process and it was rather late to find another place. Other guys who had stayed in a shared room I went through the same thing but with them if they did not know much of anything.

Not staying here, is infested with bed Bugs, stayed three nights and the bed bugs I punched it and left the two arms bitten and full of bites. After I knew that the bite does not appear immediately but several days after, so not reacted in time, and allowed for three nights I itch. On the second night we found a bug in the bed and claim we were changed of room, we accept this because we did not know the severity of the pickets. The owners know of this problem and still have not eradicated, they don't care to ruin the vacation of its guests, because these bites are so annoying that really ruined the stay. There are thousands of hostels clean in Luang Prabang to choose from.

Nice hostel, quiet, clean and friendly staff. Good breakfast included.

Can't imagine a better place to stay in Luang Prabang for the price. Location is not too far but not too close to town. Free breakfast is great and delicious. The banana pancakes are mm'mm good. Room is very comfortable showers are hot. My only issue was that the refrigerator doesn't work without the key. So it is rather useless when you are gone all day. I removed the key and left it in the room so the fridge would keep my beer and food cold. I got yelled at by the manager. Other than that, I really liked this guesthouse. There is a cheap laundry service just down the street too.

Clean room.
It's a nice home.
Excellent breakfast included in the price of the room.
