"The hotel here is nice. The area is bad, but that is to be expected when traveling to a rural area. Upon arriving you’ll immediately be pressured into buying a tour. The price I was offered was $100 for two people. The tour was from 8-4. They do bring you to all the sites which for us was good. We had an uncomfortable experience on the second day of our tour (which was booked through the hotel) it was only supposed to be $80 for a half day where they then take us to the airport, but instead at the end he charged us $95 in the local currency. Overall I would recommend the hotel, but no need to book a tour with them."

"Clean and comfortable hotel with beautiful views. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was good, although the service was a bit slow. I visited in July, so I didn’t get to use the fireplace, but it looks like it would make the hotel extra cozy during the winter. Overall, I had a pleasant stay."

"I came to Phonsavan to see the Plain of Jars but the other highlight turned out to be staying two nights at the Pukyo B&B with David. I had had some dialogue with David via email about availability as the various booking sites weren't clear on the situation and David suggested that while he was fully booked for the nights I wanted he could offer a room next door (owned by his wife and aunt). When I arrived it turned out he had had a cancellation so I got offered a room in the main house instead. As I had hired a van and driver to bring me from Luang Prabang and take me back there I had transport to get around the Plain of Jars but David took me out to find an excellent dinner on both nights. It's unlikely that I would have found either place on my own even if I was staying in the centre of town. The B&B itself is fairly basic but comfortable. David said he was considering adding airconditioning if it continues to get hotter in Phonsavan but it seemed fine at night. I was exhausted both by the trip there and a day touring the plains so after dinner I pretty much collapsed anyway."

"The hotel was a bit far from the center but the air conditioning and heat was perfect!"

"Hotel in its original state, very old equipment, breakfast either soup or eggs, and they don't understand English, but the bedding was good. Be careful, to get to the Valley of Jars you have to be brave for 300 km, 10 hours of bumpy road, and the word is not strong enough. But beautiful to see, complete immersion"
