    Shame they don’t offer free drinking water refills like many places. Not much nearby in terms of eating options.

    Helpful staff (though not all good with English) - let me use their phone to call our next hotel. Room was comfortable and clean, albeit with no window.

    Staff didn't speak much english, but did their best to fulfill our requests.

    The room was pretty big, which was a nice plus. Very clean and comfortable. Location was also good, walking distance from the main street.

    Would be nice to have a fridge in the private rooms but seeing as there’s no outside food or drinks allowed it makes sense. We just like cold water

    Beds were comfortable and staff was nice. Bathroom was quite big compared to other accommodations in SEA.

    Tiny thing was that room smelled a little of bug spray-but we had no bugs and good ventilation, so an acceptable compromise!

    Excellent value for money. We stayed in the double room with private bathroom and the room was very comfortable and clean-the bed was comfy, the room had good aircon and the the bathroom was well laid out (so that the shower didn't soak everything!) with a hot shower with good pressure. Towels were fluffy and good quality. Brekafast was basic as a vegan option (bread and jam) , but for $1 there were a few options so represented great value!!! Really recommend for a few nights in Pakse-well located and excellent quality to price ratio!!

    shower pressure is not the best, and the water is not always hot. Staff is super nice, but still struggle a bit with English, so sometimes the conversation we’re really long and hard. Entirely worth it though

    Super comfortable, great location, and very quiet

    Really confortable beds, the sheets are Nice and clean, and you have privacy with the curtains. There are a lot of shower and toilet, ruining hot water. It's really close to everything.

    The stairs. No shower gel or shampoo in any of the 4 showers on my floor. I asked at reception and when I can back later there were bars of soap but no shampoo. I don't think bars of soap are very hygienic in communal showers and don't understand why no liquid soap or shampoo when there are dispensers mounted on walls. I get it's a cheap hostel but don't say you provide of you don't.

    Good value for money as I was only overnighting. Right opposite Pakse hotel roftop bar which has good food and amazing views.

    There could be more than one washbasin on the floor, in the mornings there are many people wanting to use it.

    Everything was fine, the owners were helpful, the room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was enough space for our backpacks.

    The double room we had booked was big, but did not have any window or natural light coming in. For one night this was okay, but it wasn't clear from the description.

    The location is excellent - very close to the bus station and several great restaurants. The Hostel is super clean, all staff are very friendly and helpful. Staff arranged our ticket onward for a better price than the hotel around the corner. We can recommend it, but wouldn't want to stay in the room we had.

    The staff is super kind and friendly. The rooms and the beds are spacious and clean, such as the showers. The hostel is well located too. The common area is a little café which is nice. You can refill water freely. And the curtains of the beds are efficients which means that you can have some intimacy.
