Whenever I visit Boten, this is my go-to place. The rooms are clean and spacious. As a foreigner who doesn't speak Chinese, I communicated with them using Messenger for translation, and they were very responsive and friendly.
The rooms were good for the price, the only thing that angered me was that I told the service girl twice in the morning in Chinese ” no cleaning, very good”.
She replied ” thanks, no cleaning ” in Chinese.
When I returned in the evening, I found all my personal belongings were moved for cleaning.
I do not like people touching my personal belongings after they have handled garbage and cleaned the toilet.
I was so grateful that the owner picked me up and dropped me off, and it was safe.
The elevator was also convenient, and the view from the room was great. There's a fruit shop and restaurant just a three-minute walk away, and a convenience store within a five-minute walk. I couldn't have a drink alone, but it's a great place to have a drink with friends or colleagues. Chinese, Chinese currency, and WeChat are all accepted. Also, places run by Chinese people are more reliable and cheaper. If I ever go to Laos by land again, I'll definitely stay here. The building is old, but the facilities are fine. The water runs well.
