The owner and stuff of the Sipanya Guest house were very kind and welcoming. Saying honestly the attitude to guests was the best of our three months traveling expirience. Thank you for transfer from and to bus station. The room was clean, hot water ran well. The location is also very attractive, and funny geckos all around. We loved them very much. We also kindly recomend to book tours from the guesthouse. Our guide Mr. Souk showed us everything, even more what was not in the tour programm. He has very good English, so ask for him if you stay in Sipanya guest house.

Fabulous guesthouse...owner/manager (Abbay) very good at communication (excellent English) and organised a pickup/transfer from bus station to guesthouse at no extra charge. The place is pretty near new...room was enormous, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. Easy walk to main area for restaurants/markets. Tours to Plain of Jars (and more) can be organised through guesthouse. Mr Souk is a fantastic guide...also excellent English and very knowledgeable. Tours with him can be organised through guest house (or directly: WhatsApp +8562028548454 or email: [email protected])

Nothing!

Great stay: clean rooms with beautifully high ceilings (~4m), comfy bed, view from the balcony, pretty sunsets, delicious green tea. Little bonus: we haven’t spotted a single mosquito in the area. Abay is the young owner who started the guesthouse without even having stayed at a hotel previously - and he totally nailed it. His team spoke English fluently and did everything to make us feel at home. We were picked up from the bus station for free. And rented a scooter at a good price. Everything went very smoothly, we ended up staying longer than planned. Thanks for such a pleasant stay.

The room was large, clean and had a decent shower. There was Wifi, air conditioning and a free bottle of water, plus a free pick-up from the airport. For the price of the room per night, those touches were incredible. Also offered free tea & coffee, plus have recommendations for places to eat

The hotel can’t help it but due to the location, there are some noisy neighbours partying into the night. It’s also a little tricky if you’re on your own and don’t have transportation because the roads aren’t very well-lit at night.

We loved our stay at this guesthouse! The family that run it are really nice and were so helpful. The free pick up from the bus station was much appreciated after a very long journey from Luang Prabang and they kept the restaurant open to cook dinner for us too. The room is big and comfortable, as well as clean. The bed is big and comfortable, with soft pillows. We highly recommend staying here, it is excellent value for money and a lovely place to stay to explore this area of Laos!

The shower ran a little cold at times but this is common in Laos so shouldn't put you off staying in this guesthouse.

Very spacious and clean room. Great towels. Helpful staff and free pick up from the bus station is a plus.

I didn't like the location. To get to the guesthouse you need to walk few minutes from main street but at night when it is dark it felt really shady.

Food is exeptional, the chef of restaurant jest really good. Even for generally good Asian food.. Staff is SO polite and well trained that was surprising. And super clean hotel with very fresh linen. The overall impression od the room is good - like small details: hangers, table and chair to sit on, shelf for your luggages, night cabinets, great light in the room -everybody who travels in Asia knows IT is not always happening. And very nice touch-free Pick up from the station. We were awaited even though our van was late. And! The last but not the least- English is spoken here. What a comfort . A! All are very helpful, any questions is answered.and so fast. And not only that -we need to print some papers, hotel did it for us. Hotel also Has fluent English guide, so if you need to book a trip-you cannot have better place . Best place to stay.

I really recommend the place .

Offer of a free pick up from the airport/bus station was very much appreciated and one of the biggest selling points for this place. Good location, unfortunately the bus station is no longer right next door but it is still a handy location 5 minutes walk to the main street with shops, restaurants, market, etc. The room was a good size with comfortable bed, efficient air conditioning and good level of cleanliness. The staff were helpful and the hotel offers reasonably priced tours of the local sights (plain of jars, old capital, jungle treks, etc). We did the Plain of Jars sites 1,2&3 tour which was $80 for a full-day private car trip including all entrance fees and a very tasty lunch. We were also able to book our bus to Luang Prabang here with a pick up for a reasonable price.

Our room was at the end of the building (room 209) and the WiFi didn't reach the room properly, only had a very weak signal. Had to go and sit near reception to get decent WiFi. As we had been in Laos a couple of weeks by this point, we wanted to pay in kip on arrival. We ended up having to overpay as the exchange rate was terrible ($1 = 24,000 kip) so it came to about 120,000 kip more than the official rate.

The staff here are the best part! So friendly and accommodating the whole time we were there. They even made sure we had food when we arrived after a long bus journey. We booked our tours here and had Mr Souk as our guide. He was amazing!! We did 2 days of tours with him and couldn't recommend him enough. Exploring more than just the jar sites is so worth it. We actually ended up staying 5 nights instead of only the 2 nights we initially planned!! Great sized room, really quiet and super comfy bed as well. Free water refills in reception which was great!

This is a wonderful place at which to stay. Spacious room with a great view, everything clean and provided for and really helpful staff. We were picked up at the bus station by Mr Souk (after nearly ten hours on a terrible road from Vang Vieng) , who very kindly suggested that we eat at a restaurant on the way to the guesthouse- this involved a 45 minute wait for him while we ordered and ate. The following day Mr Souk was our guide to sites 1, 2 and 3 of the Plain of Jars. In addition to sharing his considerable knowledge on the jars he also gave us an incredibly vivid and moving account of his own family’s harrowing experience of the US bombings. We were charged 100 USD for the tour (two of us) and it was worth every penny. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr Souk. Our thanks to the owner for sorting out our bus ride to Luang Prabang - another bone-shaking 10 hours. A great stay.
