This was our first stop on this return visit to Laos and we were tired from the usual frenzied activity prior to departing on holidays. We couldn't have picked a better place to sit back and allow normal life stress to slip away. We stayed the first night in the shared eco house (we booked last min and that was... More

Dear Guests, Thank you very much for staying at Kingfisher Ecolodge and for this nice review. Of course I cannot but agree with you that the comfort bungalows can give a much better experience while staying at our lodge. They were designed for that while the eco rooms were built later on to meet the request of people having a... More

I spent two nights in one of the eco-houses, with two rooms per building and shared bath. The setting itself is beautiful and tranquil, and it was fun to see the elephants grazing in the meadow beyond the lodge. The views from the shared houses are somewhat obscured by random vegetation and the grounds are weeding and poorly kept relative... More

I would like, as usual, to thank the guest for the review. I'm sorry to hear that your experience at our lodge has been spolied by bad behaviour of other guests, unfortunately we cannot monitor what's happening in each room therefore everything is left to the level of respect between each other and we can't do much more. I completely... More

Just came back from an holiday trip to Laos and Kingfisher Echolodge has been a wonderful two days experience. The lodge is very charming, immersed into nature, peacefull and away from touristic circuits. Don't miss one day elephant trip in the jungle! It is great, the boy who guide is smart and shows a lot of curiousities about plants and... More

Provides a different perspective on Laos as its away from the tourist trails on the Mekong.was initially skeptical of the location, but if you want a glimpse into the rural heart of Laos, KF Lodge is a good place. The activities are all run by residents living in the nearby villages, and most of your money goes to them, the... More

This is a truly lovely spot. It has a real rustic charm to it. Due to our late booking we had one night in the comfy bungalows and one night in the eco room (eco for economic). The comfy bungalows are well worth the extra money. You wake and with a little luck you will see the village elephants eating... More

If tranquillity, excellent food, wonderful scenery, friendly atmosphere and low impact on the environment are important to you then Kingfisher Lodge has it all. Kingfisher Lodge pays careful consideration to the environment without compromising on comfort. Staff are employed from the local community and a contribution of your accommodation fee goes to the local community including Khiet Ngong School which... More

Stayed there with my wife for 4 days and we just didnt want to leave. In the middle of nowhere with the elephants trompetting during the night. Romantic, adventurous, quiet, good food, and good hiking in the jungle. If you are around, you must stop by. More

We had a lovely Bungalow with a nice view of grazing elephants. Although the elephant training is a bit pricy (but it mainly benefits the villagers), we really enjoyed it an highly recommend it. The Italian manager ensures that excellent Italian food is served. More

“We stayed two nights with the couples we were travelling with. Everything about the lodge was great. Massimo and his staff could not be faulted. The accommodation was lovely, and food excellent. They organised an afternoon elephant ride for us which was great, as was a stroll through the local village. We would highly recommend the lodge as a place... More

Happened upon this place and stayed in one of the bungalows. The staff were not really the best encountered in Laos, but they were friendly and helpful. If you like the thought of sitting in a hammock in an eco/enviro friendly place as elephants go by then this is for you. The food was also good considering how far from... More
