Discovering Laos
Tour operator
👍👍 As a budget traveler I came here recommended by another budget traveler.
The owner is kind and explains the trekking quite well, as we wanted to get as much informed as we could be in our first time at the jungle.
Now to the action. A tuk-tuk picked us up and dropped us in the starting point ~30mi...

Forest Retreat Laos

👍👍 I did the 3 day trekking (2 days walking, 1 kayaking) in the dry season (February) and I couldn't be happier. This trek will take you through different sceneries like tree forests, riverbanks, jungle, bamboo forests... You'll visit several villages and stay overnight in one of them getting to know t...

The Hiker Travel Agency Laos

😐 Took a 2-day homestay trekking tour.
The guide was awesome. His english was very good. He always tried to make the tour as enjoyable as possible for us.
I enjoyed the homestay as well.
The problem was that, despide the itinerary document saying we would be visiting several villages on the way, we d...

Joy Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 This is my favorite cafe in Luang Namtha. They sell coffee, drinks, and breads. The cafe is spacious, cozy and clean. The staff are friendly and welcome us. You can enjoy good quality bread and coffee at a reasonable price. It is easy to find this cafe as it is adjacent to the main road. Lovely...

BV guesthouse
Hotel
😠 The WORST place we stayed at in Laos. We are still so shocked about our stay and can’t understand how this place has such good reviews. First other guests had invited ladies to the place who were screaming as if their life depended on it for ages in the middle of the night, guy at reception didn’t d...

Lai's Place
Laotian restaurant
👍 Was happy to eat here 3 times during our stay. Here's our thoughts; eggs and baguettes were pretty good no complaints. Yogurt and fruit is nice. Khao Soy was quite greasy, wouldn't recommend it. Banana pancake is nice (just avoid the chocolate sauce, ants were everywhere). Fried noodles were fine bu...

Phou Iu III Bungalows
Hotel
👍👍 Really nice sized room with comfortable bed and pillows! Great location just a couple of minutes from the busy main road but the place is away from the hustle and bustle. Our outdoor seating area looked out into the gardens which had banana and papaya trees growing, was lovely to sit out as the sun...

Pou Villa Resort ພູວີລ່າ ຣີສອດ
Hotel
👍 Nice clean rooms
Good beds.
Friendly and reasonable speaking English
Breakfast ok.
Because of having no restaurant, a shuttlecar can bring you for free to and from the city center.
Point to improve: chairs on most balconies are rotten. Renew them.

Zuela
Guest house
👍👍 I love this place.
I don’t normally care what others say, but I want to address some of the other less positive reviews here:
1. Luang Namtha has just come out of 36 months of NO tourism - many guest homes, including this one, had NO business and were closed. Staff had to go back to their village...

Luang Namtha Museum
Museum
👍 Pretty small, just one room (albeit pretty large) gives a bit of the history of the area and a bit of information of some of the ethnic groups that live in Luang Namtha. When we arrived a lady came up to us and asked "museum?" When we said yes she unlocked the door and turned on the lights for us, w...

Chomdoy Bungalows, Restaurant & Tour
Restaurant
😠 No WiFi. Failed to give me a room key. Promised breakfast, but it never game. Walked into a filthy, nasty kitchen to find in the refrigerator rotten veggies. Went to the store and made my own breakfast and cleaned their kitchen. Owner attempted to charge me 5x the asking price for a beer. Only thing...
