The rest of the staff was lovely as well and made me feel right at home. I helped them with digital marketing and ideas to attract more guests. Luang Prabang is a wonderful city and… read more

Daniel is a very nice person, flexible, reliable and easy going. He helped me in my general works, we build a mini gate for our restaurant, besides that, he is going to help me to draw/design my house.

It was my pleasure to host him again. I would recommend him.

An incredible experience, Anousith was very hospitable and let's you experience the Lao lifestyle. We built a sliding gate in the first week and in the second I helped with setting up a hostelworld profile and started to design Anousith's future house.
The guesthouse has a very relaxing feel to it, and Anousith let's you explore Luang Prabang and… read more
