• When in Vang Vieng then stay here!

  This was our second stay here, and it felt like 'back @ home again'. The rambling gardens are stunning, and we even saw two kingfisher birds at the creek. Maylyn Guesthouse is only 5 minutes away from town, which allows for perfect quiet nights (hard to be found in Vang Vieng town!).

• watch out for rain

  the garden is beautiful with butterflies, puppies, and chickens. some other noisier creatures camp out as well, and some other smaller creatures make their way into the huts, but that's too be expected. the distance from town is welcomed. however, its close proximity to the nam song proved problematic when on our second night it rained heavily and the river flooded the garden, leaving us the next morning heading to the villa nam song for higher and dryer accommodation. had it not been for the rain, we would have gladly stayed.

• Garden looked nice

  A bit remote. Not sure if would want to walk there at night by myself (15 minutes to town).

• Such a contrast to town

  Have to agree with everything cathrionas said (and we copped the rooster too). Certainly no Ritz but a glimpse of an earlier Vang Vieng.

• Miss it lots. Recommended

  May Lyn guest house is at most a 10 minute walk from town across rickety but safe, wooden bridges and its well worth it. The owner, Jo Foley has a big heart and when he is in the restaurant you know about it – he built these wooden bungalows on stilts himself with his experience as a carpenter in London. There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere here because of the ways the hut-bungalows are set out in the garden, the cosiness of the restaurant area and because the place is away from the town where most of the bars are set up for backpackers to watch back to back episode of various telly series. We had everything within a stones throw except internet but that is no big shame as its readily available in the town. The only down side (if you can call it that) is the rooster that made his call every hour or so right outside my hut. It is worth knowing 2 things before you get there: The first time you get there, you will be likely to cross a bridge for which you will have to pay a small one off fee for maintenance, and the huts have cold water showers attached but there are hot water showers onsite but you need to ask about them
