Mekong Riverside Lodge - Pakbeng

Fine sunsets viewed from the balcony with elephants.

The staff were extremely hospitable and pleasant in case of questions. There was free Wi-Fi in public areas and the service in general was incredible!

fine, fine, fine

I was blown away by the amazing view from my room overlooking the Mekong River. Waking up to see elephants on the opposite shore was a amazing experience I won't forget. The spacious, clean room with a lovely rustic feel and the comfortable balcony allowed me to fully enjoy the majestic surroundings!

would recommend 😊❤️

I would recomand to stay here. Helpful staff, absolutely breathtaking views on sunrise and sunset, everything is perfect. The rooms are comfy and also brand-new. The hotel has a reasonably priced restaurant with AMAZING meals.

beautiful balcony, fine river view, spacious room

Needs better bathroom cleaning standards!!! The lack of AC made for an uncomfortable night. Dim lighting in the rooms could really use an upgrade!!! More varied options for takeaway sandwiches would be appreciated!!!

I struggled with the lack of AC, made the room uncomfortably warm, especially at night. The bathroom cleanliness was below expectations, with tiles that felt gritty and unpolished. The breakfast options were far too limited with only basic items offered, which left me wanting more variety to kickstart my day.

Mekong Riverside Lodge is a amazing stopover for travelers arriving via the slow boat. The proximity to the pier ensures minimal walking, and the comfortable wooden rooms provide a relaxing atmosphere with fine river views. The sunset from the balcony was particularly amazing. Breakfast options include tasty eggs and fresh fruits, while the restaurant across the street offers excellent dinner choices. The overall ambiance exudes tranquility, perfect for a restful night before continuing the journey.

Shower water pressure was low.

The view from my room was amazing, especially overlooking the Mekong River. Watching elephants wandering by in the early morning added a special touch. The wooden room felt cozy, fitting well with the serene atmosphere. The bathroom could use a thorough cleaning, the tiles were not as fresh as I'd hoped. The staff greeted me with a refreshing drink, a nice gesture after a long journey. Breakfast options were minimal but tasted good, enough to get my day started. A noisy neighbor at night did disrupt my sleep somewhat. Great location next to the slow boat drop-off made it easy to access.

Cold showers due to a broken boiler. Enjoyed the friendly staff and refreshing towels.

Nice Views and Cozy Atmosphere

The lovely wooden atmosphere added to the charm, though a better bathroom cleaning would enhance the stay. Don't miss the delicious eggs and fruits at breakfast. It was a perfect start to my day!

Honestly, I had a really nice stay here! The view from my room window overlooking the river was breathtaking, especially watching elephants down by the water in the morning. The mosquito net was a lifesaver because there were a lot of bugs around. On the downside, the bathroom tiles could use a deeper clean, but overall, I would gladly stay here again!

Mekong Riverside Lodge offered fine river views from our room, and waking up to see elephants on the opposite shore was lovely. The spacious wooden room added a cozy rustic charm, and the private bathroom had a hot shower that was much appreciated after a long day. Plus, it was conveniently located just a five-minute walk from the pier.

We would recommend it. Stayed for 1 night in this perfect place, thoroughly enjoyed that.- Extremely hospitable and attentive staff, provided useful info.- There was a great selection of fine meals.- The hotel's location was incredible, short walk to surrounding mountains, attractions, and all the other bars and restaurants in Pakbeng.

The rooms were nicely arranged with a great view of the river, including mosquito nets, a ceiling fan, and a super comfy bed.

Had a very nice stay for an extra night to visit the elephant sanctuary. The room was a nice size and well-equipped, with views of the Mekong from the balcony.- The location was incredibly convenient, just a short distance from everywhere we wanted to go.
