I have been to Vientienne before and it is a good place to visit. Now that I have been to Luang Prabang, I must recommend that you put it on your bucket list of places to visit. I am so glad that UNESCO put it on their list of heritage sites back i1995. We found Villa Somphong on an Internet... More

Villa Somphong is a fantastic option for an affordable guesthouse in pricey Old City of Luang Prabang. Good rooms. Location close enough to everything but not to close! The owner is wonderfully friendly and helpful (excellent travel agent also). Breakfast is very good, and served on a lovely patio across the road overlooking the Nam Khan river. And the best... More

As others have mentioned the staff is great - good source of information and willing to help with anything, whether or not it's directly related to the guesthouse. We stayed on the groundfloor for one night and the upper floor for 5 (even extended our stay by a day). I would recommend paying the extra $5 for the deluxe upper... More

Stayed here for 3 nights.... Great little hotel on the banks of the river. Breakfast is actually served outside next to the river which was great :) Staff very helpful and can book any travel/trips direct with them at competitive rates. Would stay here again.......easy to get to any central place

We had been staying at the other end of town where it was very dusty, noisy and quite a distance from centre of Luang Prabang. While out cycling one day searching for better accommodation, we found just what we were looking for at Villa Somphong. The location was perfect, nice and quiet, close to the river and an easy walk... More

Check this out: The staff was very happy we were there. We couldn't come or go without a friendly exchange. They also locked up our motorbike each night, and covered it with a tarp. Breakfast is served overlooking the river and quite tasty. Excellent location and an incredible city.

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a very pleasant stay. Our downstairs room was on the small side but I think there are bigger rooms available as well. Wifi was good in the room and there was hot water. Breakfast was decent and staff were able to prepare baskets of sticky rice to give as alms to the... More

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in Feb 2012. It's a nice quiet location with a very kind staff. The setting for breakfast was peaceful - overlooking the river and hand watered gardens. They arranged both an elephant tour and a trip to the waterfalls (a must) for us. Fair prices and good tours. We left a... More

I wasn’t sure whether to rate Villa Somphong “average” or “very good.” I decided on very good, because the hotel itself was nice, and its location is great. The reasons I also considered “average” is because we weren’t at all satisfied with the service we received from the manager; and also because we stayed at many hotels where we paid... More
