Champalao The Villa

The accomodation has a very relaxing atmosphere and offers plenty of space to chill in the courtyard garden in various hammocks or on couches. The breakfast consists of huge portions including a big fruit salad and laotian as well as western egg-based dishes. There is a free tea and coffee bar in the common area. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are well furnished and very nice.

Hôtel très bien situé pour faire des activités à Vang Vieng, proche du centre, mais calme. On a bien dormi et on n’a n’a pas souffert des chiens qui aboient (comme indiqué dans d’autres reviews). La famille qui tient l’hôtel est très gentille. Le mari a un tuk-tuk et peut vous emmener en ballade. Petit déjeuner basique mais copieux.

Chambres tres basiques, mais l’essentiel y est et tout fonctionne.

I had a great 3 nights here. Quiet atmosphere, near many restaurants, cafè and motorbike rent shops. Good breakfast included and coffee facilities. Recommended

A charming traditional style house with rooms opening onto a peaceful gardens. A very short walk from the hub of Vang Vieng e.g 10 min to the night market, but far enough to be quiet. A very good breakfast (choice of Asian or Western) with a large plate of fruit. Staff were friendly, despite language challenges. Ample shops and booths nearby for booking tours, onward tickets, adventure sports, laundry etc.

The facilities were a little basic for the price. The shower was cold throughout my stay despite the heater being on. The staff didn’t speak any English and I don’t speak Lao, so I couldn’t explain the problem and given the heat, it wasn’t a disaster. The wifi was very glitchy and there were no tea/coffee facilities. There are a fair few cats and dogs on site which, while very cute, don’t look healthy so it’s a little sad. As seems to be the norm, the room will only be cleaned during your stay if requested, including emptying the bathroom bin.
