My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in Jan., 2013. The setting is wonderful. The rooms are very basic but clean. My primary complaint was the staff who spoke virtually only Lao and was more interested in watching TV in a back room or dozing at the desk than in staffing a hotel. Breakfast was included and was good.... More

This bungalow hotel has a spectacular location. A river runs next to it, waterfalls nearby, sometimes more water, sometimes less, they can regulate it. You may swim or bathe there, or just walk along the water. It's a pleasure watching the elephants, you may ride on them if you like. The rooms are nice, but should be renovated now and... More

I stayed in Room #11 for 1 night in November 2012, and 1 night was enough for me. It was hot, and there was no AC and 1 ceiling fan. Very dim lighting - bring a flashlight. In the bathroom, the teeny hot water heater in the shower didn't produce much hot water, and the when I reached for the... More

The location is beautiful (set on Tad Lo Waterfall). And, the elephants are amazing – we stood and stared at them for hours! Unfortunately, that’s where the magic ends… The bungalows are extremely humid, wet and filled with mosquitos. There were literally at least fifty huge mosquitos in our bungalow when we arrived. I requested a mosquito net to sleep... More

I agree with the two previous rewievers. The location is magnificent (picture tip: go to the restaurant terrace around 8am - they take the three resident elephants to bathe in the river). It is a place which is best in the rain season. The staff are local Lao Theung who care only about tv. However they are slightly better when... More

This was my second favourite hotel in southern Laos. The bungalow room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the view was amazing. An awesome place for a hotel. Lots of local kids come for a swim in the river in the afternoon, when they leave the 3 elephants go down for a swim. We were very excited by all of... More

As previous reviews have stated the location of Tad Lo Lodge is unbeatable being close to the waterfall and surrounded by lush green forest and well kept gardens. The rooms were clean and very comfortable with a great shower and balcony on which to sit and enjoy a drink at sundown. However, the staff were dreadful as was the cleanliness... More

While driving the Boloven Plateau you don't have a lot of options to stop at for the night. Tim's offers basic rooms with a bed, mosquito net and a fan. The bathroom is shared, decently clean with hot water. Tim is a friendly host and his staff was helpful. The food was good, especially the sticky rice dessert. The price... More
