I chose this guesthouse for the convenience of location and the overall good reviews. In fact, the guest house is one of the closest to the pier, and this is a very good advantage if you have to carry your luggage to the top. The room I stayed had decent size and was clean, and so as the bathroom. However, instead of hot water I had slightly warm water; because the weather was cold, this made a difference (I would rather shower in warmer water). More importantly, after checking around in the village I'd realized the cost charged of this guesthouse was way above the standard in Laos, specially because it did not even include breakfast. While the stay was comfortable, I would not stay here on a return trip and would find a more affordable place with breakfast included.
