Hillside - Nature Lifestyle Lodge

Greeted by a very hospitable, friendly and caring team! Breath taking view of the mountains, delicious food! This lodge is really a must for nature lovers. About 15-20mins walk to Nam Dong Park. Please do read up more about the lodge before booking! I had a wonderful experience here!

We loved our stay here. One sentence to summarize this place: you are exposed to nature with comfort! Thanks Alune for your hospitality.

Beautiful eco-lodge up in the mountains. Perfect for a few days rest away from the city or to get over jet lag, but also possible to hike in the mountains. The owner was an excellent host, helpful and a font of knowledge on Laos. The menu is local and includes vegan options. The swimming pool and wider area is stunning all day. Anyone visiting Luang Prabang for the first time should spend a night or two here, as well as a night in the old town centre.

該小屋確實是一個理想的度假住宿選擇，它巧妙地融入了周圍的美麗自然景觀之中，讓人彷彿置身於一幅動人的畫卷。在這裏，你可以感受到一種遠離城市喧囂的寧靜與安詳，彷彿整個世界都慢了下來。 小屋的設計充滿了自然與和諧的理念，無論是室內還是室外，都能讓你與大自然親密接觸。清晨，你可以在鳥鳴聲中醒來，推開窗户，迎接第一縷陽光和清新的空氣；午後，在自然山林中做個馬薩基，放鬆身體；傍晚，你可以坐在露台上，欣賞落日餘暉，聆聽山間微風的呢喃；深夜，抬頭仰望星空，感受宇宙的浪漫。 在這裏，時間彷彿變得柔軟而緩慢，你可以放下所有的煩惱和壓力，全身心地投入到這種自然、鬆弛的生活方式中。無論是漫步在山間小道，還是靜靜地坐在花園裡品茶讀書，都能讓你感受到一種前所未有的輕鬆和愉悦。若在夏日也可在無邊泳池中與烈日共處。 另有好客的店主和友好服務態度的工作人員。在這裏不得不提的就是這裏的餐食非常好吃，且性價比超高！ 總之，山坡-自然生活方式小屋不僅僅是一個住宿的地方，更是一種生活態度的體現。它讓你在享受自然美景的同時，也能找到內心的平靜和滿足。

Loved: The food and views were excellent. The staff was extremely helpful in sharing information on the National Park and various activities we could do during our stay. There are games and books to borrow in the main house. We loved the "serve yourself" water bottles and tea. It is an excellent place to go and be as active as you wish or as calm as you need. There are no shops or restaurants, so it is what you make of it. Didn't love: The beds were very, very hard, so be prepared for that. We were pretty sore after two nights. Also, I am an animal lover, and while the animals at the property seem well cared for, I noticed the sweet ponies were left on their own a lot and were wanting attention. One of the two dogs has a sore leg that nobody seemed to be addressing. I hope it is soon cared for.

We enjoyed a wonderful 5-night retreat here during the Chinese New Year holiday as a family of three. The nature and sustainability concept is done really well here. Our boy loved the freedom of being able to roam around the property and interact with all the nature, staff, and other guests. I don't think I saw him wearing shoes during our entire stay here. The staff were extremely friendly and responsive. The food was well done and inexpensive. I took advantage of one of their pre-planned hiking routes for the day and had a great time doing so. The staff were also really great in helping us book day trips to local attractions, and we took advantage of the shuttle bus service into town on a couple of occasions. The bungalow we had was clean and comfortable enough with plenty of space. I found the beds to be a little too firm but that was just me. The Hillside Lodge is very open about what it is, and what it offers, but it is very important that you don't go into a stay with this place blind. The property is located a drive away from Luang Prabang proper and although there is a very good shuttle bus service, the timings of the service mean that you won't be able to rely on it for an evening in Luang Prabang and it will be extremely difficult to find a taxi service to take you back at night time. We understood this and were happy to spend our evening at the lodge where we enjoyed a BBQ and a sit around the fire pit one evening and a chance to relax with books and board games. We also relied on Hillside for breakfast and evening meals. Again this worked very well for us and after a busy day exploring the local area we were happy to relax in the evening. On our last night in Luang Prabang, we did move into a hotel located centrally in town, this was just so we could have one later evening in the town enjoying the night marketing and evening meal there, and was no reflection on Hillside and what it has to offer. Overall we really enjoyed the place and part of that enjoyment came from being a bit tucked out of the way for a few days away from the hustle and bustle.
