The staff made us hearty breakfast boxes for our early morning departure, plus free transfers were included from and to the pier to catch our slow boat.

They picked me up at the boat and transported me to an oasis. This place was a great way to relax after my 6 hour boat ride to get there. The people that worked there were friendly and the view from my patio was amazing. I loved watching the sun set over the river. I only wish I could have had more time to enjoy this place before starting my second day journey to Luang Prabang. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Leif 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Caution…. The hotel did a bait and switch on me. What you see in the photos on Travelocity isn’t necessarily what you will receive. I booked and paid for a balcony suite. Instead, I was given a ground floor room. “Sorry, it’s already full.” Instead of taking any sort of responsibility, they blamed everyone but themselves. They even had the audacity to say that I was the first booking they ever had off of Travelocity. I would use caution before booking with them. ##### Leif ### 8/10 Good #### Matthieu 5 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Arrivés en bateau depuis le Mékong pour entrer au Laos, nous avons profité de cet hébergement au calme, avec une vue magnifique face à un sanctuaire d'éléphant ! Nous avons eu la surprise d'être surclassé pour avoir une chambre en hauteur avec Balcon pour admirer le couché de soleil. ##### Matthieu Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 29 Dec 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beim Frühstück fehlten nur Schinken und Käse, alles andere war perfekt!

Gleich nach der Ankunft mit dem Slow Boat am Pier wartet schon der hoteleigene Transfer. Dieser ist kostenlos und muss nicht extra vorbestellt werden. Dann gibts einen Welcome Drink beim Einchecken und für Gäste mit Exclusive Rooms einen erneuten kurzen Transfer zum "oberen" Haus, das im Prinzip eigentlich ein separates zweites Hotel mit eigenem Restaurant ist. Die Aussicht ist grandios, genauso wie das sehr feine Abendessen. ##### Markus Stocker Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brigitte 2 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hôtel avec très belle vue sur le Mékong.

Préférez les chambres à l’étage. Manager français sympa et serviable. Restauration menu unique correct. Un peu éloigné du centre mais tant mieux. Service de navettes. ##### Hubert Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AG, Lisboa 8 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything, except breakfast that was average and bellow what to expect ##### AG Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M C 29 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### You must stay more than one night. Trip highlight. An absolute marvelous hotel overlooking the Mekong. If you're travelling down by boat either way make the effort to stay 2 nights and not rush off on the next morning boat. Be awakened by elephants trumpeting on the banks opposite. The rooms are plush and spacious the staff are exceptional,big thanks to Fon. Great management team. And Wendy Leggat who runs the elephant sanctuary is a gem. To visit the elephants is a must. Great pool. Very nice restaurant with a fine set menu plus breakfast is great. Highly recommended we didn't want to leave. Many thanks. ##### M C Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### James 28 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A great stop over on the Mekong. We stayed at the Sanctuary as we had stayed in the sister hotel in Luang Prabang and loved it. We found this one not to be as polished but still an enjoyable stay. Pakbeng is a 'stop-over' place as the boat cruise along the Mekong stops here meaning there was very little around in the local vicinity meaning we didn't leave the complex. We were upgraded to a 'deluxe' room but felt it lacked that prestige feel e.g. bed wasn't as comfortable as we've had previously and only 1 pillow. The staff were very attentive, including the manager who welcomed us personally. The food was delicious and we enjoyed a bottle of red wine in the room as well as with dinner as it was so good. The view is exquisite along the Mekong and we even saw elephants bathing in the water on the opposite bank at 7am as we left. Amazing. The hotel has it's own private pier to the river so our cruise picked us up there which was a real perk. The team helped us with our bags to the river making the whole process very easy. We requested a breakfast box as we were leaving so early and were spoilt! We had an omelette each, crepes, toast with butter/jam and fresh fruit. Excellent. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Olivier 30 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hôtel qui mérite le séjour Séjour d’une nuit en route sur le Mékong, hôtel qui donne envie d’y retourner pour un séjour plus long. Avoir la chance de voir les éléphants sur l’autre rive au petit déjeuner ##### Olivier Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### DAVID, UK 6 Aug 2019 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Read the reviews elsewhere before booking Seriously I don't understand how people give this place 10/10 the best thing about the place was the view. The room was ok. The water to the room was intermittent. Twice I was in the shower covered in suds and the water stopped. On mentioning this to staff they seemed surprised although looking at other reviews this has been an issue for 4 years. The menu was limited with only one vegetarian option. The beer was 3 times more expensive than elsewhere. The elephants across the river were about 1 km away. Don't believe the pictures. This place is expensive compared to elsewhere and I certainly wouldn't stay here again. Oh and the WiFi was terrible. ##### DAVID Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Christophe 28 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Incroyable cette vue sur le Mékong Hôtel assez incroyable au milieu de nulle part Impressionnant ##### Christophe Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [La Rosa Waves Beach - Couple & Families Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-La-Rosa-Waves-Beach-Aqua-Park.h34989949.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTELAIR Istanbul Airport AIRSIDE](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-YOTELAIR-Istanbul-Airport-Airside.h38543599.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vauban](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxembourg-City-Hotels-Hotel-Vauban.h3498176.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLIDAYS IN MOROCCO.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agadir-Hotels-Holidays-IN-Morocco.h19500869.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Taunton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taunton-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d5708--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Senza The Inn Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Hotels-Senza-The-Inn-Resort-Spa.h15503075.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Velas Los Cabos - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Grand-Velas-Los-Cabos-All-Inclusive.h15407425.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nereides](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alonissos-Hotels-Hotel-Nereides.h2805538.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Paris Val D’Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Moxy-Paris-Val-DEurope.h83018458.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Luton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luton-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d2151-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lodges Greater Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greater-Manchester-Lodges.d180010-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [B&B Brean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brean-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6353450-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Larnaca (LCA) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lca/bfs/larnaca-to-belfast) > > [Flights from Mexico City (MEX) to Tulum (TUY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mex/tuy/mexico-city-to-tulum) > > [Flights from Tremblay-en-France (CDG) to Bang Phli (BKK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cdg/bkk/paris-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Sommacampagna (VRN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/vrn/glasgow-to-verona) ### Cars > [Car hire in Torre del Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Torre-Del-Mar.d602053.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Palmer Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palmer.d6360471.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Black Forest Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Black-Forest.d6034799.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit George](https://www.expedia.co.uk/George.dx1377) > > [Visit Can Picafort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Can-Picafort.dx6035246) ---
