By far the most popular backpacker choice in town, Sabaidy 2 has clean and comfortable rooms with shared facilities or with private, hot-water bathroom. The rooms are smallish, but in a nod to taste have walls draped with traditional textiles from the region, and for the money represent excellent value. The five-bed dorm room has the cheapest price in town for solo travellers. Owner Mr Vong speaks fluent French, English, Polish and Lao, and is happy to share his deep knowledge of the area with travellers. Avoid room 3, which is noisy in the early morning. Sabaidy 1 was Mr Vong's first operation outside town, and he moved here when the lease ran out. Recommended.

A Great Choice - 11th March, 2006
This place has some very nice and clean rooms. Try to get one upstairs if possible. The food is very good and their services are extensive. The staff can be a bit stand-offish and seem to be addicted to the television but don't let that stop you. This is an excellent choice for a couple days.

All about atmosphere - 16th February, 2009
The rooms are nothing to shout about, but they're squeaky clean. I liked it for the atmosphere -- the staff is engaging, the lush garden (with hammocks and tables) inviting, and there is a nice vibe with travellers trading information and stories in the common areas at all hours. Unless you're a heavy sleeper, you'll want to avoid Room 13 next to the row of common bathrooms as the staff wake up at 5 am to bustle around. Speaking of the bathrooms, they're pristine at all times, which was very welcome and quite impressive given the usage traffic.

Friendly, good tour-guides.... - 28th December, 2008
I had a Dbl fan private b`room, but expensive. The breakfast was overpriced. Most guests come here to get good tour advices.

Go there for the tours - 17th November, 2007
If you go there, do it not for the rooms, but for the nice terrace, and especially for the well organisated tours to the Bolaven plateau

A little disappointing - 4th August, 2007
After the big rave from Lonely Planet I expected something better. Overpriced considering the cheaper rooms in other places that come with hot water and windows. Avoid Room 3 - no window, in need of a good paint and a decent lightbulb.

Poor Customer Service - 17th April, 2007
Disappointed with the poor customer service. After taking the overnight bus from Vientiane I decided to take a tuk tuk to the guesthouse to reserve a Single Room for the following day as I was heading to Champasak. The following day I returned to Sabaidy 2 Guesthouse only to find out that the Single Room I had reserved were all taken.

Friendly owner and good tours - 6th March, 2007
The rooms themselves are not too great with a bucket-washed toilet but overall atmosphere is really good - lots of info available, good tours to Bolaven Plateau with possibility to stay overnight ore more at Tad Lo and be picked up with one of the next tours. Mr Vong is very friendly and the garden upfront is nice. Good place to meet fellow travellers.

Really friendly - 19th February, 2007
I shouldn't say that the rooms are the greatest, but the whole feeling of the place is so nice and friendly so that definitely makes up for it. They also have a really good tour to the Bolaven plateau and Tad Lo and if you like to stay in Tad Lo for a night or two they pick you up on another tour.

Good value, good tours - 23rd November, 2006
I stayed for 2 nights in Room 2. private bathroom with fan for 55000. Good value. I can recommend their 1 day tour to the Boloven plateau. If you want to spend the night in Tad Lo, they will collect you the following day with the next tour. I did it, and it was well organized. Really nice people there, especially Larn!
