    A lovely stay in Mali House

    In the heart of the morning market (but no issues with noise tho!), the location was perfect to wander around Luang Prabang. The rooms were beautiful and clean, the balcony was cute and the beds were so comfortable: we slept like babies! Andy, the host, was very accommodating and super friendly. They also sell coffee and delicious fresh juices in front of the house!

    Just the doggy across the way. She'd had pups and barked her disapproval at people walking by. Being a light sleeper, it did make me grumpy!

    Beautiful villa right alongside morning Market & short walk to the river and main part of town. Host's Andy & Venus were lovely. One can sit in their cafe and watch the busy morning market. Great coffee too!

    We really can’t complain as the value for money was exceptional. In order to have privacy in the room, wooden shutters must be closed, and this will block out all natural light, but it’s cozy and dark for sleeping, and when you don’t need total privacy, the large windows and glass door are lovely and let in the sun.

    Cute and comfortable with a great location and a very helpful host. Andy made sure we knew the tastiest places to eat, the banks with the best exchange rates, and the excursions most worth our time. He helped us arrange a motorbike with helmets, facilitated our laundry getting cleaned, and even gave us a loan when we ran out of kip. Nowhere have we received better insider advice than from Mail House.

    Good position in central Luang Prabang, with the many facilities close at hand. It was clean and comfortable

    Be prepared for an early start at the good market gets going, but to enjoy the full Luang Prabang experience you need to rise early to reap the rewards

    Great location, an intimate family run guest house. It was situated in the heart of the food market/street and the garden was an excellent coffee shop/juice bar. Very helpful with arranging visits to key locations

    This is not a criticism of Andy or the property but due to the location (which is made very clear when booking) we had a smell of smoke early in the morning from the market.

    Andy went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay - he arranged trips for us and transport to the train station. Lovely room, really comfy bed and hot shower. Location was right in the centre making everything easily accessible.

    The doors slamming woke me up every time, had to use earplugs when sleeping. Too much water from the shower ran in front of the toilet. Due to the warm weather it dries up quickly though.

    Nice small room in quiet old town area with Morning Market and Night Market within walking distance. Very friendly host who was there to help with anything needed.

    The room was small but that's the trade off for the amazing location.

    The location was perfect. The river was at the end of the street, you're in the heart of the morning market and the night market was a few blocks away.

    Neighbouring property has a really annoying small yappy dog that is put outside very early in the morning and barks persistently. This is obviously not the fault of Mali House.

    Great location. Lovely room. Comfortable bed. Lots of power sockets. Amazing rain shower. Tasteful decor. Ambient lighting. Balcony. Very clean. Super helpful host. Fabulous coffee.

    The morning market starts setting up before 5am so it can be noisy but we are early birds and enjoyed getting up to see alms giving which was at the end of the road.

    The property was super centrally located! Right in the heart of the morning market.

    The bed was a bit hard, but that seems to be a common trend in South East Asia.

    The property was super close to the night markets and many different restaurants around. Andy, the host was very helpful, he gave us suggestions for places to eat, and things to do which was extremely helpful. The room was also very clean and wifi was really good.
