Un de nos hôtels préférés au Laos !

L'arrivée extraordinaire à l'hôtel par bateau sur le Mekong (moment magique !). La vue depuis les chambres. Le personnel aux petits soins. Les activités proposées : le prêt de vélos pour aller visiter l'île, ou la super journée aux Bolavens avec une chauffeuse au top ! Un très bon point de chute pour visiter la région (une des parties du Laos qu'on a préféré ! Plus calme, plus authentique, moins touristique que le Nord.).

Attention par contre, plus de bateau pour rejoindre l'hôtel après le coucher du soleil. On dîne forcément sur l'île. Vu le prix de l'excursion aux Bolavens (25 à 50% plus cher que si vous la réservez à «l'office de tourisme» de l'autre côté du Mekong), les tickets d'entrée aux cascades visitées pourraient être inclus. On a quand même adoré cette sortie :)

Très bel établissement avec un personnel aimable et dans un lieu unique et reposant.

L'emplacement sur l'île, magnifique avec le village à côté. Le calme, personnel très agréable, serviable, discret et souriant. Toujours à disposition pour renseigner, aider. Le maître d'hôtel, loatien mais parlant très bien français était quelqu'un de sociable et bienveillant, il nous en a appris un peu plus sur la région et le Laos en général; des échanges très intéressants. La vue sur la plage depuis notre bungalow était très beau, de même le coucher du soleil avec les montagnes environnantes du Champassak. La piscine, les massages... Un havre de paix dont on se souviendra!

Juste quelques suggestions d'amélioration : La nourriture était bonne, mais pourrait être amélioré avec plus de subtilité dans la cuisine des ingrédients et saveurs locales. Les plats manquaient en effet un peu de goûts. Les traversées en bateau sont un peu lentes (bateau pas très rapide) et nous avons pas mal attendus malgré nos échanges par whatsapp pour annoncer notre arrivée à l'avance. Nos excursions à Wat Phu et Bolaven était très sympa, mais notre chauffeur - très gentille - aurait pu avoir du répondant et surtout nous donner plus d'informations, nous expliquer les choses : nous pensions par exemple que la visite de la plantation de café serait accompagné d'une visite instructive, mais il n'en était rien, nous avons, certes bu un très bon café, mais avons visité les jardins par nous-mêmes (et il y avait plein d'autres choses très intéressantes comme la culture du poivre). Et même les tenanciers du lieu ne répondaient pas à nos questions. Nous sommes donc repartis sans en apprendre plus... c'est dommage.

Stay at a eco-luxury hotel with the best views of the Mekong River in Laos

The property is located in the Don Daeng island and the hotel picked us up by boat in Champasak in front of the island. We absolutely loved the rides on that small boat across the Mekong River and the views from the hotel. The swimming pool is beautiful and we were very happy to support a hotel with such sustainability and community support standards.

We loved everything but a small suggestion would be to have some faucet outside each room or at the swimming pool for customers to clean their feet when it’s raining. We happened to visit the hotel during the rainy season and walked in the island wearing flip flops but couldn’t find a place to clean up before entering to the room. It would also be nice to provide room slippers

We had a great time, highly recommend!

Beautiful, peaceful location on the Mekong River. Lovely pool, delicious food, and bikes/ river transportation included in the price!

bikes could use a little maintenance, test the brakes before heading out

Peaceful and relaxing weekend

The staff was so helpful, the rooms were just lovely, the view was spectacular. We were so relaxed the whole weekend. The beach hot pot was a sensational experience. Learning about how La Folie has helped the islands residents and developed the infrastructure and contributed to economic empowerment and education was fantastic.

The bike ride around Don Daeng was fantastic, but the last part has very bad tracks that made cycling difficult.

Loved our stay at La Folie and would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit this area

Breakfast was very nice and generous options. Dinner was very nice too especially the bbq which we had in our own private space. Staff we exceptional and very friendly and kind. Manager was an absolute delight and went over and above to make sure we had the best time.

Aum’s special hospitality and a fabulous location

The Location of La Folie Lodge is breathtaking! The Mekong view, the sunsets, the gardens magical. However, equally wonderful was the fabulous Aum, who greeted us and helped organise our activities in Champasak. Her English was fabulous and she was so proactive, smart and hospitable! She gave us a bicycle torch in the evening, organised our bicycles on the boat to cycle to Wat Phu for the most perfect day of our holiday. If you are planing a Champasak vacation, Aum at La Folie is the lady to make holiday dreams come true!

With Aum on hand, anything which we requested, extra blankets, extra water was quickly sorted and therefore there was nothing to dislike.

Best place in Laos

Great quality of food. Great surrondings with a very nice beach and view of the mekong river. A lot of activities can be organized throught the lodge (bycicle, wat phu temple, cooking classes, etc.)

All was very good! Just some minor things: - Some services (e.g. the massages are a bit overpriced). - Fruitshakes/drinks could be improved.

dissappointed

The weather and the beautiful views of the river and mountains

It was a poor hotel accommodation. We expected better service and richer breakfasts. Located on island with long logistics to cross the river, we expected more options in the hotel for fruits and snacks during the day. Information was difficult to obtain, and was often inaccurate. I wouldn't recommend.

Lovely property but extremely over priced

Gorgeous hotel with enormous rooms, well furnished and exceptionally clean. Fantastic views and friendly staff. Extremely well kept property.

Beds were hard, a mattress topper would have done wonders. However, other beds in Laos were hard and uncomfortable so perhaps this is all that is available. Property was very overpriced, not so much for the rooms but food, drinks and airport transfers were 2 of 3 times more than they should be. When we checked out staff were insistent that we hadn't paid the full amount due, this turned out to be a dinner taken by another couple staying at the same time, they insisted my husband pay for this dinner as well, obviously he refused. English is limited, which is to be expected, but it does make paying the bill and organising transport very difficult. Our airport transfer driver turned up at the airport without our name on a board so we had no idea who he was. It's the little things that sometimes make the difference between good and excellent.

Exceptional

A five star experience from beginning to end, a very special place. Somehow, visiting during rainy season, we were their only guests - and we had the most exceptional experience. The island is beautiful, and the hotel has been set up a bit like a social enterprise to encourage investment in the local people. They grow all lots of their own vegetables, including their own rice in their beautiful on site rice paddy! Staff couldn't be more helpful. Highlights were a sunset river trip on the Mekong complete with snacks and wine, swimming in the pool with beautiful views, breakfast on our terrace, and a bike ride around the traffic free island. They also arranged all of our transfers including a trip to Wat Phou on our way down from Pakse - do not miss it! Thanks again to the lovely team, what a special start to our honeymoon!

I couldn't fault it.

Wonderful hotel on peaceful island with amazing staff.

On a peaceful island with boat service directly to it, this is a wonderful hotel to spend a few days. The rooms are lovely and most look out onto the Mekong. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. The restaurant serves lovely food at all times with a nice selection of wine. The pool is warm and relaxing. Bikes are free and we highly recommend cycling around the island. The hotel will also organise trips to the temple and also down to four thousand islands. Recommend highly.
