The Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge Reviews

The Santuary was a lovely hotel in Pak Beng, the perfect place to stay after the long boat journey from Luang Prabang. We wished we could stay longer to enjoy the facilities and view of the river

Good location with a extraordinary view on the Mekong

An amazing destination and great facilities. I completely recommend it to anyone who wants a great destination at the end of an adventurous journey.

Perfect experience in this hotel. We saw elephant took a shower in the river. The room was big. The bed was very comfortable.

it's a bit expensive for me, but the service and the view from the hotel was amazing. The reswaurant was really great.

This is my first time to give a bad review to a hotel, I don’t want to give it even one star! Checking in with more than a dozen white people, I was the only Chinese person. The **** receptionist introduced each white person to me with a smile on his face for a long time, and completely ignored me who hadn't checked in yet. When he finally checked me in, his face looked like I owed him money. Whenever I asked him anything, he always seemed to be indifferent. The same thing happened at breakfast the next day. When he saw a white man, he greeted me warmly and introduced the breakfast. When he saw me, his face looked like he was turning the page in a book. He told me to sit down and left with the tone of ordering a servant. Because I have a lot of luggage and there is no elevator in the hotel, I asked him if he could ask the hotel staff to help me carry my luggage downstairs. He immediately pretended not to understand and even used Lao with the female staff next to him. They laughed at me, and in the end I carried the luggage downstairs by myself... I swear that I never behaved impolitely when communicating with them. If it weren't for the fact that it was too late to arrive at Beibin, the location was too remote, and it was raining heavily at the same time. , it is not convenient to change hotels, otherwise I would definitely change hotels immediately. In short, they are simply discriminating against Chinese people. Chinese people should be careful when entering this hotel! ! ! ! !

Great place, extremely relaxing in this month of April. Being outside the tourist season and in an extremely hot period we were able to take advantage of the swimming pool, great on the banks of the Mekong. It's actually not very far from the main street of Pakbeng. We were even able to see the elephants bathing opposite. If you stay long enough, go and spend some time at Mekong Elephant Park, it's a magnificent project.

good，很好的酒店

For the price we paid I think it was very good. A few minor issues that the owners might take on… Breakfast was very disappointing. I can see in the town there was a bakery and would have preferred to have gone there. Dinner was fine, but rushed and looks as if the staff were going through the motion… bedroom was good, shower room not so good. However the views were stunning and we overall enjoyed the experience….

Amazing place to stay. One of the greatest views, with a bonus having the elephant park on the other side to see them go into the water. Great rooms as well. The manager and staff have been incredibly supportive in making some personal wishes happen, I can never thank them enough for that. Highly recommend to stay more then one night (which most people coming with the slow boats do).

Our stay at the Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, GM Benoit was amazing to work with—so responsive and dedicated to making sure everything about our stay was just right. His attention to detail really made all the difference. The food was outstanding, especially the set menu, which gave us a great taste of the local cuisine. After a long, hot day with the elephants, the pool was exactly what we needed to cool off and relax. The rooms were fantastic—spacious, beautifully detailed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. But the best part of the entire stay had to be the view. It was breathtaking and made every moment feel extra special. We truly loved every minute of our time at the Sanctuary Pakbeng Lodge, and we can’t recommend it enough!

Stayed at this hotel one night on our way down the river. It’s a lovely hotel with very nice rooms and good air conditioning. The upstairs dining room is absolutely gorgeous and the food was wonderful as was the staff that served us. The highlight was in the morning when we were having our coffee before we left, we watched elephants come down to the river to drink.

What an absolutely surprising and beautiful hotel. Fabulous service picking us up from the premium boat. Gorgeous sunset views. Stunning room. Delicious dinner. Super friendly staff (thank you Pria). We would absolutely stay again and for longer

We stopped overnight here on a 2-day Mekong cruise. The food was OK, though not special, and the room was a good size and well-equipped. Aside a short water outage (probably not unusual given the location) the overall stay was very good and it is worth staying here simply for the view - particularly the sunset.
