Saylom Guest House
Location, location, location
What we say: 
Greeting visitors at the top of the concrete steps from the boat landing, Saylom is an all-around top choice thanks to its convenient location through to its helpful staff. Bungalow floor plans are more spacious than most and the attached bathrooms are modern and clean with tiled floors, Western toilets and cool showers. Small balconies manage to fit plastic chairs plus the essential hammock. This is an easy choice for weary travellers uninterested in venturing out along the dusty streets, and even if you looked at every spot in town you couldn't do any better. A great open-air restaurant with cushion seating and some of the best food in town is the icing on the cake. French is also spoken here.

Perfect spot by the river!
Saylom guesthouse has the perfect location by the river. The bungalow was spacious with a big bathroom and we only had to pay 25000 kip for the night. The balcony on the bungalow had a hammock (something I would say is a must in this picturesque place). The owner was very friendly and helpful. Because of the closeness to the river it got quite noisy in the morning when all the locals were taking out their boats. But if that´s the price you have to pay for this great location it is well worth it!

good
spacious, clean room. sitting toilet. friendly staff. no fan, but i don't think many other places had a fan either. i was lazy and didn't look anywhere else, but i know other people who went looking elsewhere, and for the same price, didn't find anywhere much better.

Well worth it
Paid 30,000 kip for a bungalow for two. Clean, comfortable, convenient. Mr Saylom speaks English and French and is a very friendly and helpful character. Concrete, tiled floors and a good mosquito net; shower a bit weak but when I mentioned it, he immediately turned off the water in one of the empty bungalows (not sure how this would work in high season). Highlight of the place has to be Meyong, who keeps Saylom rat-free and, if you're really lucky, likes to sleep on your belly when you're in your hammock. Best kitty in all of Laos!
