The room was clean and comfy and you had plenty of room. Good bathroom and shower. Wifi didn't work much in the room but there were chairs just outside where it worked fine. Free tea and coffee available anytime. If you like it white, grab a mini carton of milk from the shop across the road and keep it in... More

What a beautiful guesthouse in a beautiful place in the world. This family owned place was amazing. The service was fantastic, the rooms wonderful, the location excellent and the price was incredible.$50 per night US inc breakfast in Feb 2012. I just cannot speak highly enough of this hotel which is in the Main Street next to the night markets... More

This is one of those rare times where the actual product is nicer than the pictures! My entire stay all the staff were extremely friendly and willing to help. When they first walked me up to my room, I immediately noticed the nice patio area just off the room, and was very impressed by how spotless the room was ...this... More

We had a choice of a $40/night room on the bottom floor but chose the $25/night room without the fridge and tv on the second floor and were very happy - room number 2. (there was a fridge in the hallway that we used and that worked for us) Despite being right on the busy street of restaurants and tour... More

The place is ok, but why would you pay double the amount you can pay elsewhere?. I stayed there one night, I moved out the next morning because in the building next to the guesthouse there were people talking loud all night until 4 AM. The first place I found (Lao Lu Guesthouse) was much nicer than Phounsab and the... More

Moved to Phounsab after one disappointed night at another guest house around the corner (Phousy Guest House - see separate review). Had room 107 for $40 per night and stayed for six nights. Big room, efficient air conditioning, comfortable queen size bed, and a large and very clean bathroom (after one month in southeast Asia, the bed and bathroom were... More

We stayed 4 nights at this guesthouse, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. You nearly miss it on the main street but then walk into a lovely courtyard. We stayed in a back upstairs room which was quite large, very very clean, a good sized bathroom with a great shower and good AC and fly wire screens which meant we could... More

Brilliant location, very central. Night markets basically at the door and close to the Mekong and Nam Khan. However, the wifi didn't work, there was no fridge, free internet or cable tv in our room (as stated on the brochure). Our room wasn't cleaned for 2 days. Once as housekeeping was off sick and the second time because we hadn't... More
