The only place to stay in Luang Prabang!!

This is an incredible place to stay. We loved every minute of our river view balcony, especially having breakfast there. The staff are amazingly friendly and attentive and couldn't be more welcoming. A beautiful gem that we genuinely didn't want to leave. Thank you Thongbay Guesthouse

Peaceful, green and friendly

Our stay couldn't have been better. The team at Thongbay are so friendly and helpful, breakfast was lovely, the shuttle and other services run very smoothly. The cabin is peaceful with great aircon and facilities. We loved it!

The accommodations are simple native style cottages, but they were clean and comfortable. The staff and the management were extremely helpful and accommodating. The manager, T, was wonderful, always providing helpful suggestions and helping to arrange transportation to local venues. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would love to go back.

The staff were very hospitable and helpful especially Kai and her son DoDo. The manager, Thy, was well organized and informative. Although the location is excellent, it is not in the city proper.

10/10 Exceptional

This property is made up of detached wooden bungalows with Verandahs. The staff are excellent and breakfast is served on your own verandah each morning. They have bicycles and motorcycles for hire if you want to explore the local area or you can relax by the pool. The staff could not do enough for you and I would highly recommend Thongbay to anyone visiting Luang Prabang. 10 out of 10!

Amazing place

Thongbay is a very beautiful and cosy place in Luang Prabang. We enjoyed everything about it; the view from our terrasse, the garden, getting breakfast served on your own balcony and most of all the smiling service from everybody at the guest house. Please notice, that Thongbay is outside Luang Prabang city center. They do have shuttle service and it's easy to go back and forth, but if you prefer the convenience of staying in the center of town, You have to choose otherwise. Only one little downside; the beds were too hard for our taste. We didn't sleep that well.
Very early morning view from our terrasse.

We really liked our stay at Thongbay Guesthouse which offers great value for money. The bungalows are nicely arranged in a beautiful, lush tropical garden and have everything you need. Breakfast is served on your own private balcony and guests can also have dinner, which is very decent. The staff and management are impeccably nice and helpful with every question their guest might have. The only downturn we experienced was the temple festival and a wedding nearby with extremely loud music / prayers / Chorals and or karaoke. That has cost us 2 nights of proper rest. Make sure to bring earplugs! Anyway: we fully recommend the place !

10/10 Exceptional

The service there was more than amazing, everyone was nice and they did everything to please us! Plus they provide free shuttle to go center town, the breakfast is great and generous, the decorations were beautiful, the pool was very clean and large enough to swim. I strongly recommand this hotel! Only downside: pillows were a little firm to my taste.

Endroit exceptionnel

Magnifique guesthouse où tout est pensé pour que votre séjour soit le plus agréable possible. Les bungalows se trouvent dans un cadre enchanteur au milieu d’un jardin entretenu avec soin. Le personnel est très prévenant et toujours là pour vous rendre service (navette gratuite pour vous conduire en centre ville ou à l’aéroport, lessive incluse, serviettes si vous allez vous baigner à la cascade Kuang si etc). Je ne peux que recommander cette adresse et si je dois retourner à Luang Prabang je n’irai pas voir ailleurs.
Fabrice, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for 5 nights in a riverside bungalow which was peaceful and relaxing. It was slightly away from the noise of town but easily within walking distance. We also cycled on free bikes and there is a shuttle bus in and out of town. The owner and staff were excellent and friendly and helped us organise trips andd transfers. Breakfast was great and we had a lovely stay, thank you

Oase in Luang Prabang

Absolute Oase, wunderschöner Garten, toller Bungalow, sehr freundlich, prima Frühstück- wird serviert, schöner Pool Beste Unterkunft unserer Reise. Zwar etwas außerhalb, gibt aber einen Shuttle, auch Fahrräder und zum laufen geht es auch.

10/10 Exceptional

This guesthouse shines on service. Airport transfer and pickup were a breeze. They take the time to nicely greet you and check you in, giving you all the details. Daily shuttle in and out of main area of town is great. The pool was well kept and quiet (though, like so many in south east Asia, very cold). We had a river view bungalow. It was mostly clean, as much so as wooden rooms like these with gaps in the wall can be. But they provide mosquito nets. No TV. Breakfast is good and plenty with various options. If you want a break, feel free to use their kitchen (cashew chicken gets two thumbs up and yellow curry was good too). It is fresh and on probably better for the price than anything you will get a food stall in town for same cost. Dinner for three was about $12 USD. They do not advertise it, but they were glad to use their daily shuttle to drop us at our next guesthouse in Luang Prabang. I found I had forgotten my Nalgene water bottle in the mini fridge and called them to ask about it, and they brought it on the shuttle so I could pick it up that evening when they dropped hotel guests in the city. That was HIGHLY appreciated. They provide one bottle of drinking water per guest, and have a drinking water refill station. The beds were ok - not great but not the worst in SEA. We had a triple room, a king bed and two singles. The singles were incredibly soft to the point it felt like you might roll off and the king was a bit too hard. Goldilocks again :) Thanks Thonbay!
