The accommodations are simple native style cottages, but they were clean and comfortable. The staff and the management were extremely helpful and accommodating. The manager, T, was wonderful, always providing helpful suggestions and helping to arrange transportation to local venues. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would love to go back.

We loved our stay at Thongbay. Mr. T & all the staff always provided excellent service & were very helpful. Meals are delivered to your bungalow (or elsewhere if you choose) & the food is delicious. The breakfast was great. The shuttle to & from downtown is very convenient & runs on schedule. The grounds are lovely. The bungalows are spacious. The floorboards do creak some but that didn’t affect our enjoyment.

This property is made up of detached wooden bungalows with Verandahs. The staff are excellent and breakfast is served on your own verandah each morning. They have bicycles and motorcycles for hire if you want to explore the local area or you can relax by the pool. The staff could not do enough for you and I would highly recommend Thongbay to anyone visiting Luang Prabang. 10 out of 10!

Glorious tropical garden residences
Gloriously verdant. An oasis of nature with views across the river. The individual 'bubgalows' are well sized, with a verandah. A hearty and generous breakfast arrived to my table, at the appointed hour. This is a place for a writer on a mission. Perfectly appointed to stay focussed. There is a large pool too. And really convenient transportation regularly throughout the day to reach 'town' in 7 or 8 minutes.

Friendly helpful staff
The manager Mr. Thy and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. He booked an all day tour for us that I recommend. The free shuttle to town was convenient. He helped us to buy train tickets to Vang Vieng. You have a choice for daily breakfast that was very nice. The night we arrived they had a Christmas party with free food and drinks for guests. Only downside to stay was water for the shower and was not very hot.

Thongbay Guesthouse was a last minute choice, but it was an excellent one. Clean, comfortable, great view and breakfast and beautiful garden surroundings. Air conditioning & Wi-Fi strong. Quite a walk into town but the walk was good for us. Thongbay has scheduled shuttles into town and pickup times. Check with Mr. Thy and his stuff, and he will help and explain all you need to know about Luang Prabang. Very gracious and helpful. Nothing like breakfast on the balcony!

The bungalows are set in beautiful gardens with amazing views over the river. It is a little out of town but the hotel offers a free shuttle bus. Getting your breakfast delivered to your balcony every morning was a special touch. Loved this hotel, would stay again.
