We really liked our stay at Thongbay Guesthouse which offers great value for money. The bungalows are nicely arranged in a beautiful, lush tropical garden and have everything you need. Breakfast is served on your own private balcony and guests can also have dinner, which is very decent. The staff and management are impeccably nice and helpful with every question their guest might have. The only downturn we experienced was the temple festival and a wedding nearby with extremely loud music / prayers / Chorals and or karaoke. That has cost us 2 nights of proper rest. Make sure to bring earplugs! Anyway: we fully recommend the place !

Thongbay is a very beautiful and cosy place in Luang Prabang. We enjoyed everything about it; the view from our terrasse, the garden, getting breakfast served on your own balcony and most of all the smiling service from everybody at the guest house. Please notice, that Thongbay is outside Luang Prabang city center. They do have shuttle service and it's easy to go back and forth, but if you prefer the convenience of staying in the center of town, You have to choose otherwise. Only one little downside; the beds were too hard for our taste. We didn't sleep that well.

Beautiful wood cabins on the river. Excellent service. Delicious food. Free shuttle to town. An oasis only minutes from town.

Beautiful room by the river Stunning food was so good better than restaurants Beautiful and helpful people Wonderful gardens and pool Terrific breakfast Excellent transport to town Bed was too hard tho

Great guesthouse by the river. Professional and helpful staff!

This property is made up of detached wooden bungalows with Verandahs. The staff are excellent and breakfast is served on your own verandah each morning. They have bicycles and motorcycles for hire if you want to explore the local area or you can relax by the pool. The staff could not do enough for you and I would highly recommend Thongbay to anyone visiting Luang Prabang. 10 out of 10!

Gloriously verdant. An oasis of nature with views across the river. The individual 'bubgalows' are well sized, with a verandah. A hearty and generous breakfast arrived to my table, at the appointed hour. This is a place for a writer on a mission. Perfectly appointed to stay focussed. There is a large pool too. And really convenient transportation regularly throughout the day to reach 'town' in 7 or 8 minutes.

This trip was very interesting and unique.Especially, the accommodation was a very special experience that I had never experienced before.The taste of the food was special, such as bringing a meal in the morning and mixing it with the sound of nature.It was so nice to be quiet. Since there are many forests and trees, it seems not a good experience for uninvited fist-sized cockroaches to sleep together in bed.

So friendly and welcoming. A really enjoyable stay.

The manager Mr. Thy and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. He booked an all day tour for us that I recommend. The free shuttle to town was convenient. He helped us to buy train tickets to Vang Vieng. You have a choice for daily breakfast that was very nice. The night we arrived they had a Christmas party with free food and drinks for guests. Only downside to stay was water for the shower and was not very hot.

From the time I checked in everything was exceptional, the facility is beautiful so clean, walkable ti the tourist attraction, the breakfast was so delicious and the staff are very kind

The staff were very hospitable and helpful especially Kai and her son DoDo. The manager, Thy, was well organized and informative. Although the location is excellent, it is not in the city proper.

Thongbay Guesthouse was a last minute choice, but it was an excellent one. Clean, comfortable, great view and breakfast and beautiful garden surroundings. Air conditioning & Wi-Fi strong. Quite a walk into town but the walk was good for us. Thongbay has scheduled shuttles into town and pickup times. Check with Mr. Thy and his stuff, and he will help and explain all you need to know about Luang Prabang. Very gracious and helpful. Nothing like breakfast on the balcony!

We loved the breakfast and the gardens. The family are very friendly and helpful. Would love to stay here again.

The bungalows are set in beautiful gardens with amazing views over the river. It is a little out of town but the hotel offers a free shuttle bus. Getting your breakfast delivered to your balcony every morning was a special touch. Loved this hotel, would stay again.

The sweetest staff ever. Great location, superb setting, very good breakfast, comfortable beds. Can only recommend :)

As you entered the beautiful garden, you are immediately taken into a very peaceful atmosphere. The warm welcome was a very good sign of the quality of the service we received during our entire stay. Our unit was very spacious, quiet and comfortable. Great breakfast was served on the balcony of our unit every morning. The food in the restaurant was also excellent. Very easy to walk from the Guesthouse to the old historic center of Luang Prabang (although transport service was always available by the hotel) to better understand why this city is considered a Unesco heritage city.

Friendly staff, nice facilities, great breakfast. This place has everything you need.

Very special place in a natural environment, good service and excellent foodA navette to bring us into city market and easy pick us backVery good place in general

Stunning small resort on the riverfront. Great staff who are able to organise tours etc for you. A little way out from tge busy town centre, but there is frequent free transfers to the main street. Delicious breakfast served on your balcony. Highly recommend this resort.

Fabulous place to stay. Lovely, spacious wooden bungalows set in a beautiful garden with views of the Nam Khan River. Some bungalows have river views, but there’s a sheltered sitting area for other guests to enjoy the view. Breakfast was amazing and served to you on the bungalow verandah. The guesthouse is about 20-30 mins walk from the old city, but the guesthouse runs a free shuttle there and back several times a day. Staff welcoming, helpful and friendly. Great pool. We’ve had a three-week trip travelling in Laos and Northern Thailand and this is easily the best place we’ve stayed. Very reasonably priced too. Just perfect.

Beautiful grounds, helpful staff, lovely to have breakfast delivered to room each morning.

The property was beautiful and the staff was always charming. We hated to leave.

We loved this place. So beautiful! Delicious breakfast delivered to your bungalow

This was one of the best hotel experience in Laos :-) We Can differently recommend the guesthouse to others :-) thank you for a great stay! P.s the breakfast and the view was amazing ;-)

Amazing

The location of the guest house is slightly outside the main town. They have shuttle service in the morning and later in the day which we made use of.Didn't really like the garden view rooms. The floor boards had huge holes allowing mosquito and insects to come in and the fixtures and overall decor were also far from the price we paid. There was also no noise insulation. There is a tiny mirror in the bathroom which my husband and I couldn't both see our faces depending on the location of the mirror. I asked the staff if they had bigger mirrors in any other room and the guy flat out lied to me and said no. Apart from that the staff was really good. Especially the women at the desk. She helped us with restaurant reservations and was always there to help with a smile.We upgraded to the river view room which was great. I highly recommend paying extra and going for his room type. The floors didn't have holes, the fixtures were better and there was a slightly bigger mirror and the overall vibe was better. The breakfast was fantastic.Suggest they add a few more options for shuttle in the afternoon and install full length mirror.

Fabulous! This is a family owned place with great service, friendly and helpful staff, a great ambiance, and a superb breakfast. They have free bikes, and a shuttle into town (which would be a 20 minute walk). It is in a quiet neighborhood, so gelato for sleeping. The bungalows are in a wonderful garden. We upgraded to a river view, but I’m sure the garden view rooms are also great. Each has a balcony/porch. Breakfast is delivered to the balcony or to a terrace overlooking the river, at a time you specify. They have put in a new pool across the street - it looks pristine (but we didn’t have time to go in it). This place is great!

Amazing stay; staff greeted us with welcome drinks and brownies on arrival. The room was beautiful, as were the gardens. Lots of different areas to sit and enjoy a meal. The breakfast platter was a feast! And the free shuttle into town meant that the location was not an issue. Also, we didn’t have a chance to enjoy the pool but it looked like a lovely place for a swim.

This hotel is simply superb. The accommodation is lovely and spotlessly clean. Gardens, grounds, swimming pool kept immaculate. The service is second to none, staff are so helpful and anticipate your every need. Little extras like breakfast in room, free airport transfer, taxi service to and from town really make a difference. They arrange massage and tours too at competitive prices. We ate at the hotel a couple of times, the food was excellent and very cheap. It is by far the best value hotel we have ever stayed in and we travel a lot. Overall excellent.
