Hell.. 3 nights booked, I left after 2 hours.

I had 3 nights booked here and didn't end up staying any of them, I'd rather of lost the money than slept here.. that should tell you how bad it is.. Looks nothing like the pictures, whilst it is a nice location, and the falls are beautiful.. the few hours I was there it was overrun with screaming local children.. the least peaceful place I've ever been. The "hotel" is impossible to find, down some dirt track.. surrounded by locals shacks.. The room is basically a wooden shed, there is absolutely no shops around the area at all.. of you don't have a scooter, don't even consider this place.. not that you should anyway..

Det var lite mat å få på hotellet, og området rundt stengte tidlig. Fikk frokost på hotellet. Di hadde veldig dårlig språk kunnskap. Men nydelig plass å såve rett med fossen.

Don’t get your hopes up

Doesn’t look much like it does in the photos. Don’t know where they got the figure of 15 pools from! I counted two and neither had beds next to them as it shows in the photos. Be aware if you stay here the local area is completely shut down by 7pm, so it’s hard to get food as the hotel stops serving by then as well. Most staff are children between the ages of 4 and 7 and that includes those who clean the rooms, which probably explains the dirt on the sheets. Kids are everywhere and extremely loud, so if you’re expecting a nice lie in, forget it! Basically the one good things are the fact that it’s in a waterfall, close to the main waterfall, and the shower has hot water. Vastly over priced.

This is the only hotel by the falls . Location is amazing, right by the river and small falls . It’s basic accommodation but it’s cheap and you are staying in the jungle , if you love nature you will love it . I bit chilly at night so go prepared

สถานที่ตั้งดีมาก สวยงามใกล้น้ำตกและวิวบริเวณทานอาหารดีเยี่ยม ห้องพักที่จัดไว้ให้กว้างมาก แต่ชักโครกเสีย ทางพนักงานจึงแก้ไขด้วยการเปลี่ยนห้องให้ใหม่ ผู้พักนอนแล้วรู้สึกคัน จึงได้ลองตรวจสอบดู พบว่ายังมีฝุ่น,เศษข้าวและอาหารตกอยู่บนที่นอน แจ้งให้พนักงานเข้ามาดู เปลี่ยนผ้าให้ใหม่ ได้ทำการสอบถามพนักงานเรื่องอาหาร ของร้านอาหารในที่พัก พนักงานบอกว่าแม่ครัวไม่อยู่ แต่สักครู่มีผู้เข้าพักห้องอื่นนั่งทานอาหารจากที่ครัวทำออกมาได้ วันต่อมามื้อเช้า ก็ทำอาหารให้แตกต่างจากห้องพักอื่น โดยเราได้ถามเรื่องอาหารเช้าว่าเป็น ABF ห้องพักอื่นจัดเป็น ABF แต่ของเราทำข้าวต้มให้ เราจึงไปสอบถาม พนักงานบอกว่าไม่มีขนมปังแล้ว ทำให้ไม่ได้

Hotel très dépaysant, personnel qui a très difficile à communiquer. Pas facile d avoir des infos. Le responsable était génial mais ct le seul pour nous comprendre. Pas de wi-fi et pas d eau chaude. Très chouette pour avoir un aperçu de la vue là-bas. Endroit exceptionnel pour se balader au fil des cascades. En pleine nature, quoi de mieux.

Simple, quiet accommodations at the falls

Great location at the base of the falls in the local’s area away from all the tour buses. Beautiful views and great proximity to explore the main falls before and after the crowds from town. Very simple accommodations- more like camping, but they did have a western style toilet. No heat or AC but we came in December when the weather was a little cooler and didn’t have a problem. Be sure to bring bug spray, though. There’s a nice restaurant next door called carpe diem that’s great for lunch but only open at that time when it’s busiest with other tourists. At night, there’s really not much else to do, so expect a very quiet, relaxed evening. We ordered the fried rice and fried pork ribs from the hotel for dinner. Both tasted good, but my husband got sick from the ribs. I’d be careful what you order since it’s more remote, if your stomach isn’t used to that kind of food. Most of the staff speak limited English, but it was fine. I would try to arrange transportation in advance if you can or take a taxi from Luang Prabang instead of the airport. We took a taxi from the airport directly and paid about 3.5x the typical rate. Overall, a nice stay, a very local experience, but if I had it to do over, I might prefer to stay in town and take a half day trip out to the falls to maximize my time since we only had a couple of days total in Luang Prabang

Great night stay!

Amazing location - natural pools right outside your doorstep and walking distance to the entrance to Kuang Si Falls. The big balcony is great for relaxing on and the bathroom decor is lovely (feels like you’re outside). Other reviews said the room was dated/not clean but we didn’t find this to be the case at all. Food, however, was not amazing.

I was disappointed due to the conditions of the room. This should not be considered a “hotel” this is like a campground with the outhouse inside the facility. The ppl there are especially wonderful and very friendly except they barely speak English . The owner( I assumed) was really nice and he speak a little bit of English. This place is about a 5 mins walk to Kuang Si Waterfalls . It is beautiful here but come and enjoy the waterfalls and the surrounding but I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Tiki lover's paradise

Eat your heart out, Martin Denny! Spending a night at Vanvisa was one of the highlights of our trip. Definitely worth splurging to get the extra-deluxe room with a terrace overlooking turquoise pools from the small waterfalls on the property. Very clean, nice big comfy bed, and the terrace is a great place to chill. It looks onto a popular swimming hole for local kids, and even though I'm totally not a kid person, it was charming to watch them splash around in the afternoon. At night, we went for a stroll in the village, and that was also a highlight--just exchanging simple greetings with the people who live there and enjoying a few hours in a world not built for tourists. An earlier TA reviewer whines that this is "basically just a village," which I find frankly infuriating. I felt lucky to get this small glimpse into rural Lao life. It's authentic, and authenticity is hard to come by these days. The homestay also faces a working monastery, and we awoke slowly to the sounds of drumming and chanting and the smell of incense. Yes, there were insects around (duh, it's a waterfall in the jungle), but none got into our room and it wasn't an issue. Getting up early to watch the sleepy bears at the sanctuary wake up--and to enjoy the magnificent falls and swimming holes before the tour buses made it out from LP--was the icing on the cake.
