Popular View ticked all the boxes for our stay in Vang Veing – cheap, well located (easy to get into town and the tubing but not massively loud) and really good air-conditioning. It is also owned by a local Laotian – so it was great to support a locally-run business.

If you're looking for a cheap place to stay on VV, this place does the job. The first two days, the rooms were clean, but the third night was full of flies for some reason. All the tourist hotspots are within walking distance which is ideal. Staff are helpful and friendly.

We stayed here for 4 nights, which was probably enough. Great: the location - if you get a room at the back of the guesthouse, they have big windows with a balcony and chairs looking out over the river and to the mountains, absolutely spectacular. Good: the bed - comfortable king size bed, the room was designed quite nicely with... More

Since this place was about the same price as several others we checked out, I would stay elsewhere next time. Unless you have a room with a river view (more expensive), the other rooms are just like any other and the owners don't know anything about customer service. They aren't outright rude, but just not friendly or welcoming at all.... More

This is an average place to stay but a solidly good average! The main selling point are the incredible views across the river towards the cliffs - simply stunning. Room was basic, and in need of redecorating and generally maintenance felt like it had slipped. Location is very good, close to everything and because the island bars are now closed... More

Good place near town centre with excellent view of the river and mountains. However, the staff do not smile and not friendly. Unlike previous guest houses we had stayed, the owner insisted we pay upfront before even we get into the room as if we are going to run away without paying. You will find him sitting around the counter... More

The pictures online do not really show what this place is like. It's a hole in the wall, at best. I was shocked and disgusted...but apparently most of the "guesthouses" in Vang Vieng are similar. Pay more for better quality...something I will always think when it comes to Vang Vieng.

I must say I was surprised to see any excellent reviews ...maybe I got a lemon of a room, but it was filthy and disgusting. The bed was bug stained, the walls had obviously NEVER been washed. When I used the sink more water leaked out the pipes than actually went down the drain, and the shower was terrible. The... More

Just finished staying here for 5 days and did not receive one smile from the owners or their staff. The only words we had from the owner was "when you pay", which was 10 minutes after we checked in. I replied that I would need to get to ATM first. The owners are also lazy and just sit around watching... More

This place was maybe my favorite place I've stay in all of Asia. The rooms were big, the price was good, the location was in the middle of everything and the free breakfast was great. All the being said the best thing about the place is the view. Overlooking the river with the mountains in the background. Amazing way to... More
