Aurora Backpackers Hostel

It is a value for money. You cannot expect everything at that price but all essentials was there. The difference comes with whom u are sharing the room. I spent 3 days, the first 2 days i had roommates that was disciplined and well organised but the last day it become messy because of 2 new roommates. But i cannot complain coz it was a 4 beds shared room. Also it is a very good place to meet other solo travelers and make new friends.

May be the ac could be made switched on for longer. It was on only from 8pm to 8am

The hostel staff were super helpful and accommodating! Helped me in ways that went beyond their responsibilities. Thank you! Great location along the river in Luang Prabang. Great water dispenser!

This is probably a strong positive for some people, but just so you are aware, in my opinion, it has a bit of a party vibe to the hostel. It wasn't crazy loud but just lots of people with their shirts off in an environment conducive to heavy socializing (this is probably good for a hostel overall. I just want people to understand this).

The staff was amazing and the hostel was very clean.

Nothing bad to say.

A great hostel with all the facilities you could need. Comfortable beds, curtains, bed lights and power plugs with every bed. It was very clean and in a great location! The social area was great, also very chill so no loud music keeping you up. Wifi worked well and breakfast was good.

The rude staff ruined it for us. South African man working there was very arrogant and condescending. Be careful with the payment and be prepared to pay more than the price you booked. They have their booking.com set to USD but require you to pay at the property. Once there they use a VERY bad exchange rate to change it to LAK. We paid an extra almost half of the price we booked because of this and they would not budge or be reasoned with. They claimed this was the case everywhere in Laos but this is the only place we have come across this scam. There is also only ONE unisex shower at the property. So unless you book a room with a shower in it be prepared to line up, although I never had to. There is a toilet in each room.
