Phou Iu Guesthouse
Very clean rooms, quiet bungalows
What we say: 
While the exterior of Phou Iu is nothing special, inside, the rooms are pleasant and very clean. They are fan-cooled, and the bathroom has a hot shower and western toilet. Across the street they also have a large plot of land with newly-built rattan bungalows. They too are spotless and have a fan and bathroom with western toilet and hot shower. They have small balconies, but as they are on ground level, the only view they have is the sweet garden and other bungalows. Massage and sauna is on offer on site.

Only worth it if you get a discount
We stayed in Phou Iu 2 bungalows after the original price of 80,000 kip dropped straight down to 50 as soon as we started to walk away.  The fan double had a western toilet and decent hot water shower. The rooms themselves were simple and clean, the verandah space was a bonus and the style of rattan cottage was a nice change from more conventional guesthouses.  The price we paid was a fair one and I wouldn't say it was worth the 80 thousand originally quoted. The rooms are set around a large lawn and only a couple of others were occupied so there wasn't really much of an atmosphere. The plus is it's away from the main road.  Many of the cheaper options were pretty grotty looking so I would definitely suggest trying to get a good deal here.Â

Bungalows lovely but food awful and bad atmoshere
We stayed in Phou Iu 2 in low season and although the bungalows were huge and clean with really comfortable beds, the whole place had a rather depressing atmosphere. Staff were not really interested and the food was terrible with not even basic ingredients. This may be different when the place is busy but there is no excuse for not having chilli's or sticky rice in Laos!

Good choice
We didn't see the GH mentioned above, but we stayed the Phou Iu 2 bungalows. Very quiet, spasious, ans a good bathroom. The staff is not very inviting but correct. 25$ for a superb bungalow.

OKish but overpriced
We stayed here (chalet - Phouiu 2) for 3 nights and were charged 200,000 kip per night which seemed very pricey. Yes the room was clean and pleasant as were the surroundings, by day. However, there were few guests when we stayed and we didn't like the dark, deserted feel of the place at night.

Very nice set of bungalows
We stayed at the linked Phou Iu 2 bungalows. It is a very nice and lovely made set of bungalows 200 meters from Phou Iu 1. The bungalows have attached bathroom with hot shower. There is a herbal sauna and massage. The price was 80.000 Kip, a little bit pricy, but a good option in Muang Sing.
