Enjoyed my stay and the hostel staff were 100% helpful in making sure all guests are taken care of. Would also provide helpful recommendation on things to do while you are in town. Do note that you will need to bring your own lock if you wish to use the locker or it would be chargeable. A cheaper laundry service can be found in the alley on the right when you exit from the hostel.

Loved VVBH! Great price for a well-kept hostel, good breakfast, and social atmosphere. It may be difficult for some to sleep because there's usually lots of socializing/partying going on downstairs, but it didn't bother me. I'd stay here again. (:

Located on the main street and easy to find. Good WiFi speed and lounge for the backpackers. The reception was attentive and ready to help 24-hours. Definitely good value for money and recommend this to others.

All in all great hostel

I had a really good time here! It was great hostel, very clean, comfortable and safe. I met many awesome travellers there, it was good place to socialize. Free whiskey everyday from 7-7.30pm! Downstairs thereā€™s a small locker for your valuables, at room there is no locker. Only downside in my visit was this tubing tour that I booked from the lobby because I was told that I would be joining this other group (who had done some ziplining before) and that was why I booked it because there were two of my friends. But that wasnā€™t the case and I didnā€™t see them until back at the hostel at night and Iā€™m pretty sure the guy at the lobby knew that but he told me differently.

Bra hostell for en billig penge

Her fĆ„r man et relativt bra hostell for en billig penge, og frokost er inkludert. Servicen var god og de var hjelpsomme i resepsjonen. Standarden var grei, men rommene ganske trange. Alt i alt et fint sted Ć„ bo hvis man vil mĆøte backpackere og bo sentralt i Vang Vieng.

Auberge de fĆŖtards

Pour les voyageurs qui cherchent un peu de calme, ce n'est vraiment pas un bon choix. L'auberge est plus destinĆ©e Ć  ceux qui veulent faire la fĆŖte et rencontrer d'autres backpackers voulant profiter de la vie nocturne de Vang Vieng. La literie est plutĆ“t confortable et les douches/toilettes sont assez propres. Un petit dĆ©jeuner est proposĆ©, mĆŖme s'il n'est pas franchement extraordinaire.

Til de drukglade

Hvis man har planer om bare at tage ud og drikke og sove hele dagen vƦk, sƄ er det det optimale sted at sove. Da vi kom kl. 11 om morgenen op pƄ vores 14-mands vƦrelse, lƄ stort set alle stadig og sov, der lugtede dƄrligt og der var brƦk pƄ toiletterne.
