Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just minding it's own ancient business

Jan 2020 • Friends

I really liked this little Stupa which is just sitting calmly in the middle of a city roundabout minding its own ancient and secret, sacred business. You will come across it as you do the Vientiane City rounds. It's down to it's old red brick carcass and is fetchingly festooned with self sown plants and weeds. It's very sweet and is probably my favourite Vientiane monument in it's own unassuming way.

This is not going to occupy much time. It is an old stupa in the middle of a road intersection, with only eateries around. However, I would recommend making a detour to take in this site. It is beautiful and has a long history to it.

Beautiful stupa

Mar 2024 • Solo

Thw stupa is at middle of busy road. Kinda surprise that they could conserve this sacred monument. As I studied Sanskrit, Buddhism culture is very interesting. I hope they will keep this stupa for long time. It is acutally beautiful monument, which people may pass by.

Nice piece of history

Nov 2022 • Solo

Nice little piece of history in the capital city of Laos. Be mindful of the traffic. There are a few park benches by the monument where you can enjoy an icecream etc.

Stumbled across history

Feb 2020 • Solo

I literally stumbled across this, was in a bit of a daze, hungry and not really sure what I was after other than knowing I wanted to get out of my hotel. The history of this area is emphasised by this Stupa. A great introduction for me for what this town has to offer

The Black Stupa

Nov 2019 • Couples

This Stupa it has to be said has seen better days. It is overgrown with vegetation and the stonework needs restoration.

The Black Stupa clearly is suffering from a lack of funding.

Nice place quiet and lively

Nov 2019

Very abandon but nice place to stay for a couple of minutes, Stupa is nothing special but that is exactly why its different and a spiritual place to be.

Standalone monument

Nov 2019 • Solo

Just a standalone structure with some eateries nearby and chairs to sit. Nothing much about this place by itself. Short walk from here to Talad Sao. Good to visit only if you happen to be nearby

Overgrown .

Nov 2019 • Solo

The opening statement says it all. So very unkempt! The weeds and grasses are distroying the structure.
