Description
The reception area for the Tad Lo Lodge is located about a kilometre from town along the road to Tad Suong -- signs clearly mark the way. But the lodges themselves are actually on the other side of the river, and unless you plan to gambol across the rocky falls or their rickety bamboo bridge, you have to get to them by the bridge downstream and walk back up -- a two kilometre trip just to get to your room! They offer atmospheric rooms with thatch walls in spacious wooden lodges. The price reflects the location, right along the water, rather than the quality of rooms. Light sleepers may be kept awake by the falls.

Stayed three nights in recently completed, clean bungalow with great views of waterfall. Upstream village worth walking to. Sound of waterfall is louder at night as more water is released for power generation.
Peaceful, clean, good food - No rating given

After 2 weeks in the heat of the south, it was lovely to get up onto the Bolaven and stop at Tad Lo Resort. We stayed a couple of nights, right on the falls. As described, it was a good walk from room to restaurant / reception, but the food was fantastic. Room was clean & comfortable, and you didn't notice the noise of the falls after the first hour or so. Only small gripe - the staff here were the most intrusive of our 4 weeks in Laos. Not a big problem, just occasionally slightly annoying. However, this place is still well worth a couple of days.
