The staff did everything possible to make our stay a good one. We had to check our bags in at 5am, no problem. After seeing the Monks almsgiving procession as the receptionist had wisely recommended, we had a good walk about and then we were free to use the pool and sit around until our room was ready later. Lovely pool to use and lie around.It looks and is a hidden oasis.Room was a good size. Nice facilities and the whole hotel was constantly being cleaned and recleaned and thus cleanliness was always assured. A good selection of breakfast choices from the buffet. Beers and soft drinks available to buy from the fridge at reception.Good advice provided and tours booked and well organised for you if you want (cheaper than other hotels as we found from some fellow tour takers).A great hotel at a great price

good okay you make this too complicated do you want a review my time is money

We had a nice stay with Villa Mahasok, though not perfect. Pros: nice breakfast (delicious pancakes, noodle soup, eggs, toast). Friendly staff (the young man serving breakfast was particularly kind). Clean lobby. Not too far from downtown (about a 10-15 minute walk). Large beds. Mosquito nets. Allowed us to have late check-out to shower after a morning tour. Cons: Ants in the bathroom, towels a bit yellowed, air conditioner was not the most effective (and extremely noisy). Staff's English ability can be a bit spotty. The other strange thing was that on check-out, the hotel did not have a record of our payment (we had pre-booked and paid in full via Orbitz) and they wanted us to pay again. It took a couple phone calls/waiting to get it sorted. I would think that a hotel would keep better track of who had paid and who hadn't. I would recommend Villa Mahasok for a low-budget homestay type hotel, nothing too fancy but comfortable enough.

Good price.

In general we did really enjoyed our stay, staff is super helpful and location is good. The beds are comfortable and the breakfast area is really pleasant. We were not very lucky with our room, which was a bit loud at night sometimes but we got the impression that it was probably the only one with this problem ( and was the only one available so we didn't complain) and it was not too bothering

Staff all very friendly! Wifi was not that great. Breakfast was good and location was good trot walking to Main Street market.

We spent 6 nights in this lovely ,very reasonable, guest house in a not so touristry part of town. In a short 10-15 minute walk you can access the main attractions and lots of places to eat. The breakfast is excellent and slowly we are getting used to the Lao coffee but you can find a delicious coffee downtown at Indigo. Breakfast is served by the tranquil lotus pond which also has comfy sunbeds for relaxing. The staff are friendly and helpful for bookings and any info you need. Laundry can be done here very quickly and reasonably. A rooster will wake you up every morning and continue through most of the day. There is often a great deal of noise at night due to a loud Karokee Bar across the pond but it was New Years so that could be the reason. There is an 11:30 curfew so noise eventually stops. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it. We had a room on the second floor in the second building overlooking the pond and these were the best rooms.

most hotel staffs are good and friendly. we requesred that being prepared for early breakfast the last night we leave. they said yes but next day in the morning one of the hotel staffs insult us. we couldn't understood lao. but we can feel it's a kind of curse . we were unpleasant because of staff's attitude. 남자 스탭이 외국인들이 라오어 못알아듣는다고 외국인들에게 '개'라는 말을 계속 쓰면서 웃으면서 욕해요. 라오어를 아는 사람으로선 굉장히 불쾌했습니다.

Good sized bed, very comfy the wifi was great the room was slightly on the small side. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful

Nice and comfy, room was on the small side. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly made our stay even more enjoyable

Very friendly staff, lovely breakfast, beautiful terrace for breakfast

Short stay here. The room was very nice and cosy, very clean. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was cooked to order with a wide selection. Hotel in walking distance to the main busy areas, but set far enough apart as to be very comfy and quiet.
