Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

DenmarkThe sheets were changed every day, but the new ones weren't clean. No private locker. The bathrooms were very small and not pristine, but wasn't a major issue.
Free breakfast, great wifi, location in the middle of downtown Vientiane, nice staff, effective aircon.

JapanThe cue ball was not in a great shape, they need a new one. Breakfast is okay, very basic. Probably not enough to fill your stomach but enough to start a day. I saw a few people trying to check in and getting told the rooms are full although they seem like they booked it online. Not sure how that happens, I felt bad for those.
Hot water in shower Close to the night market Had pool table

The hotel was overbooked so I was moved to another hotel. The good thing about that was the bathroom in the room!

GermanyThey asked us to pay more then mentioned in the booking. The Light in the bathroom didn't work properly. After we came back from dinner the Guy at the reception said he accidentally gave us the wrong key (the one from the room next door) and we should change it. We used it already and it worked - turned out that the same key workes for both doors. We only stayed one night so we just stayed anyways. But we can not recommend it.
The room was small but good. Clean, AC and hot water. Good location too

Amazing Stay at Lucky Backpacker’s – Highly Recommended! I had a fantastic experience staying at Lucky Backpacker’s in Vientiane! The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of the night market, temples, and plenty of great restaurants and cafés. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with directions, recommendations, or arranging transportation. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering great value for the price. The common area was a great place to meet other travelers and relax after a day of exploring. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, and the Wi-Fi worked well throughout the property. If you're looking for an affordable and comfortable place to stay with a warm and social atmosphere, Lucky Backpacker’s is an excellent choice. I’d definitely stay here again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

United KingdomThe place was dirty, both the room and the bathroom. The towels we were given stank of damp. On the first night, we came in from dinner and got into bed. Not only were there run off the mill stains on the bed sheets, but there was a raised white stain on the sheets. I have my suspicions it was bodily fluids. Absolutely disgusting. The staff changed the bedding (but didn't have clean pillow cases to give us) when I asked, which was good, but I can't recommend this accommodation due to the uncleanliness. You also had to pay for water refills at the hostel, which I've never had to do before. Go to any other hostel on the bay.
The staff were really friendly and the location was amazing.

New ZealandThis place needs a major deep clean! It's dirty and needs some love. The aircon and fans are noisy, struggling with the build up of grime and dust on and through them. To add our Aircon unit was dripping onto a piece of corrugate outside the window. Couldn't sleep at all. - wifi didn't work 2.5 outta 3 days -blood on duvet sheets -sink in room 90% blocked, and hair build up in shower drain -sinks in hallway leaking causing ponding water to walk by -receptionist works to a different curency than the internet. (Also had to chase up for change, two days later) ended up ripping us off about 100k/kip -tv provided with no way to turn it on -booked a room with a double bed, got a room with two singles .
Scratching for good points here,.. we left the review for a few awhile, to see how other places compare in Laos. This was the worst place over our 3mths on the road so far. Good location, near to restaurants and markets
