Vang Vieng Hostels

I randomly booked this place online, and the price was an absolute steal. I got a bed in a 35-person female dorm, including breakfast. Honestly, the breakfast alone was worth 20; it was delicious, even the plain eggs were made so well, plus there was fruit and coffee. The dog was super cute too. I was a bit worried because I read online that the front desk only spoke English, and I thought I might have trouble communicating, but there was a handsome guy at the front desk who spoke excellent English. You take off your shoes when you enter, and almost everyone there was foreign – I was the only Chinese person. They also have a pool table, a bar with free drinks at night, and a pool. The atmosphere was great, and it felt very safe.

The hotel view is truly beautiful, the mountains are superb! However, when I arrived, they tried to put me in the wrong room twice, not the one I had booked. After a long discussion, I finally got the correct room. Inside the room, there were many mosquitoes, gnats, and ants.
