Adima Guesthouse
Basic but lovely and in peaceful surroundings
What we say: 
Adima is about 7km out of town towards the Chinese border. The journey can be covered by bicycle, but in the heat of the day it feels like an interminable distance. Alternatively, you can organise a tuk tuk at Viengsay Guesthouse for 5,000 kip per person. Its isolation means that it's close to a number of small ethnic minority villages, which can be visited on day trips.
The guesthouse itself has a simple loveliness. Wooden bungalows are built in Lao style, and blend in well with the surroundings. Rooms are simple, with a bathroom with western toilet and cold shower, but staff will supply a thermos full of hot water for washing. There's no fan, but a cool breeze blows in from the countryside anyway.
Balconies have views over scrubland and rice paddies to distant mountains. Just spending some time sitting and contemplating in this peaceful environment will ensure you fall in love with the area. If you're the active type, you can walk or ride a bicycle to the Chinese border, about 3km away. You can also take a number of self-guided walks in the area, with information posted in the restaurant. The closer villages are very accustomed to visitors and are little more than an opportunity to sell handicrafts. Take water and a hat as it's easy to get a bit lost.

wonderful place
Even though Adima is a little bit far from Muang Sing town, it's worth taking the effort and go there by bike (or by tuktuk). It's a really romantic place where you can hang out and enjoy the beauty of the lao countryside. Our bungalow was quite big and clean. Bathrooms are ok, but not cleaned everyday. The staff is really nice and the restaurant is very good, compared to what we got in other places in northern Laos!

isolated spot, great view
we went here on rented motorbikes coming from luang nam tha. It's a one day motorbikeride through the luang nam tha protected area/mountains. (great waterfalls half way Luang Nam Tha and Muang Sing !) Adima is at about 8 kilometer beyond Muang Sing close to chinese border. It has clean bungalows with great balcony view over the ricefields with fireflies at night ! Family is very helpfull, food is ok,Beautifull & quit isolated location ! Paul en Jeroen, Amsterdam

FANTASTIC
Adima is fantastic, we slept in a nice room with a view on the rice fields and the surrounding mountains. The restaurant is good and you are 5 minutes from a Akha village. A lovely place!!
