Description
Le Jardin Organique Vang Vieng has enormous deluxe bungalows by the river amongst well-kept lawns and a stand of mature trees. A quiet spot, it is still convenient to the centre of town. Cool tiled adjoined bathrooms have hot showers, while beds in the room have clean white sheets. Otherwise the room is fairly bare. A wooden balcony provides space for sitting, listening and watching the river flow past. Air-con rooms and smaller bungalows are also available to the rear of the grounds. A restaurant serves wholesome food all of which is sourced at the market and not from any organic garden.

Spurge for the AC bungalow -

These units are brand new and it's like having your own house. The people who run the guesthouse are great. What everyone says is true: it's nice to be away from the madness of party-central. This area is more quiet and you can still take a walk to the parties. The restaurant was very good too.

Peaceful location, not very far from the town at all -- just a 10-minute walk or so, but well away from the drone of the 'Friends' theme-tune. We got a nice new double room bungalow for $22 a night, and it was a good room to be fair. Wooden decor, air-con, fan, nice bed and sheets and a decent view (although not riverside). All in all, a pleasant place to stay.

This is a beautiful spot, right on the river, on the edge of town. The bungalow was simple but nice, and the staff very hands-off but also friendly. It was more expensive than it says here - I think our double river-view bungalow was $12/night.
Nice spot -

Well located with good views. Bungalows have thin walls but generally a quiet spot. Room was not cleaned during our three night stay. Restaurant has great views. Food was ok.
Great spot -

Good points: Great location away from the madness of Vang Vieng central!, Nice comfy bungalow with litte veranda to sit out on and chill
Bad point: can be noisy in the morning cos the bungalows are bamboo.

Stayed 2 nights in March 2007 in a bungalow with fan and private bathroom. Lovely spot well away from the circus downtown. Cost was US$10 per night. Great spot to sit and watch the sunset over the mountains. Recommended.
Relaxing -

If you've seen any of my other commets in Laos, I'm an old person travelling with an even older person, and we loved these bungalows and would like to have stayed longer. Just a 2 minute walk to town, and the gardens are now well established.
Great place to chill out -

My wife and I stayed here and it was great. Really relaxing with fantastic views of the river and surrounding limestone mountains. The bungalows are large with a comfortable bed and hot water shower. Owners are very helpful and organised us a good tour to the local caves.
Recommended.
