Barn Laos Hostel

This hostel is incredibly new and clean and I had a surprising amount of space staying in here. The staff were friendly, the services provided were plentiful and the complimentary self-served breakfast is a nice touch. Highly recommended!

The staff were really friendly and the beds were clean and spacious.

The staff was friendly and attentive. When I accidentally dropped my water bottle, causing a loud noise, they immediately checked to ensure everything was okay and no one was hurt, which was very thoughtful. The hostel provides free breakfast, including toast, eggs, and cucumber. The Wi-Fi was fast, and the location is convenient—within walking distance of the city center, with plenty of supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The photos of the hostel create a completely misleading impression. They depict a modern and spacious property, but in reality, it is an old building. The female dorm lacked sufficient space to accommodate regular-sized suitcases for all guests and there were no hooks or racks to hang my towel. Additionally, the female dorm door had no lock, allowing anyone to enter, which made me feel unsafe. The windows were wooden shutters instead of glass, offering no soundproofing. Noise from people on the terrace, footsteps in the hallway, and traffic outside could be heard clearly. Furthermore, I am accustomed to female dorms having their own bathroom, but that was not the case here. The communal bathroom, shared by all rooms, was always extremely wet and inconveniently located on the other side of the building. Having to walk such a distance at night to use the toilet disrupted my sleep. Another issue was the requirement to leave shoes near the reception before entering the hostel. While I understand this might be a cultural custom, I felt uncomfortable leaving my shoes unattended overnight. Overall, my experience was disappointing. The hostel did not meet my expectations or fulfill my needs, and I regret booking it.
