    The hostel owner lady was kind and helped a lot with the concierge. You can do scooter rental and many tours booking through her. It was the same and cheaper price than other rental shops but you can just leave your passport at the reception. So it's much safer. The breakfast was nice and the mountain view was amazing!.

    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
