The Tadlo Lodge

Excellent! - 9th January, 2008
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.

Great service from the owner! - 24th December, 2009
We stayed in a double room (now $44!). The rooms are fan-cooled, which is fine considering that the mist from the waterfall keeps everything cool. In comparison to other options in the area, this is by far the cleanest place you will find! The restaurant is practically right on top of the base of the falls as a bonus (and you can watch the mahouts walk the elephants home through the river at dinner). Make sure you go for an elephant ride - the mahout is amazing! It's a nice change to see a mahout that has a good relationship with his elephant after seeing so many mahouts prodding their elephants along with things that look like fire pokers. He was so nice to his elephant and to us. He even let me drive his elephant, without me even asking :) The owner is great - he asked two of his employees to give us a ride back to the bus stop on their motorcycles when we couldn't get a tuktuk (and wouldn't take money for it) and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay.

Peaceful, clean, good food - 6th January, 2007
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.
