    The best hostel in Vang Vieng . Good hot shower. Clean, nice and safe room with electric lock access, locker and safety box. The bed with white blankets, sheets, and pillows is very clean and comfortable. Free alcohol every evening, very social. But after 11pm it's quite quiet. easily got a lot of useful information through the front desk. will definitely come back

    Moved from another hostel in town which was quiet empty and not very social. Definitely one of the best hostels I've been in 4 months backpacking SEA. The owners are ex backpackers with lots of tips for Laos and also other countries. Easy to book transport. Good value food at the restaurant and bar has happy hour every day with free drinks. Swimming pool with all day sun. Very social atmosphere at night, music stops around 23pm
