If you are like me, someone who isn't a party person and is hesitant about whether this 'party hostel' is suitable for you, please read on. I checked in on New Year's Eve, and while all the younger guests were partying outside with loud music, I was able to enjoy the dorm by myself, and it was relatively quiet (my dorm was the closest to the pool). The music stopped before midnight, and I was able to sleep well for the three nights I stayed there. The front desk staff was great and helpful. I forgot to return the key at check-out, but they allowed me to return the key to the Vientiane branch and refunded the deposit.

    The hostel owner lady was kind and helped a lot with the concierge. You can do scooter rental and many tours booking through her. It was the same and cheaper price than other rental shops but you can just leave your passport at the reception. So it's much safer. The breakfast was nice and the mountain view was amazing!.

    The best hostel in Vang Vieng . Good hot shower. Clean, nice and safe room with electric lock access, locker and safety box. The bed with white blankets, sheets, and pillows is very clean and comfortable. Free alcohol every evening, very social. But after 11pm it's quite quiet. easily got a lot of useful information through the front desk. will definitely come back
