With superb views of the mighty Mekong and 2 decks to enjoy them from, we were reluctant to leave our room. The bed & pillows were super comfy, making for a very good night's sleep. 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. I could've easily stayed another couple of nights to fully immerse myself in the Mekong experience. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay 5 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful one night here.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Markus Stocker 4 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Eine Insel der Ruhe Dieses Hotel ist wirklich toll. 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 #### Martin 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Hotel with stunning view Very nice Hotel with stunning view- very good restaurant and excellent breakfast.

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.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wendy et Benoit (manager) et personnel très accueillants.
