Old World Charm
What a lovely Hotel. The building is 200 years old and full of charm. The staff were excellent. Tom and his team looked after us like royalty. Having breakfast overlooking the river was wonderful. If you go to Prabang stay at this Hotel. We stayed in Room 10 which is small but lovely. It’s also nice because you don’t hear any traffic at night. Value for money.???? Spot on

Location is terrific, on the "quiet" side of the peninsula. (The Mekong side can be noisy.). One block off of Main Street. Lovely place, stayed a week in December 18. I've stayed in a half dozen different guest houses in Luang Prabang over the years, and another few hotels. I shall return to Villa Ban Lakkham if the room rates stay reasonable, which they now are.

Comfortable and authentic
We really enjoyed our stayer this hotel and the location is excellent. We had a lovely room on the first floor. It had two outside seating areas. Inside it was authentic with panelled walls and floor in tradition wood style. The bathroom wasn't sleek and modern if that's what your looking for but for us it was perfectly adequate. The staff were excellent and we will hold fond memories of our stay there.

Great place to stay in Luang Prabang
This is a great hotel in a good position. Views of the Nam River from the balcony. Only 2 mins to Main Street but far enough not to be noisy. Rooms are nice and staff were super helpful. Free push bikes a bonus.

Nothing Special
Some good restaurants nearby and upmarket shops. Hotel could be noisy from motorbikes in early morning and music from a large restaurant opposite in the evening. Needs a good refurb/maintenance. Wifi speed low (2Mbps at best, 0.2 at worst). Receptionists had no autonomy so when problems occurred they didn't try to solve them, and did only when pushed. The headman of the village and large extended family live in a large shanty next door and can be noisy.

Good value small hotel
This is a charming hotel in an old villa. Unfortunately, we did not sleep well because of a very loud air conditioner (or water pump), which seriously compromised an otherwise wonderful place.

A Place to call Home
The Villa ban Lakkham is a boutique Guest house with a charm of it's own. Over looking a river but very walk-able to all attractions in Luang Prabang. The staff could not be more helpful and proactive in suggestions and guidance for planning our day trips and even call up a tuk tuk for you so you don't have to walk out to hail one. The breakfast choices are varied and very tasty and well presented, you certainly won't be going hungry. I definitely stay again!

Great find in Luang Prabang
I had a great stay here while in Luang Prabang for a couple days. The hotel is in a great location with everything walkable in a couple minutes but not right on tourist row or another noisy street. The hotel staff were very friendly and the free breakfast in the morning was so delicious. The room was a nice size and very comfortable with a nice patio for each room. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends travelling to Luang Prabang

Nice guesthouse but a bit overpriced and noisy
This guesthouse is very attractive with beautiful wood furnishings and spacious rooms. However, the rooms face the road along the Nam Khan River and are noisy with traffic at all hours, and thin walls. We could hear a person in the adjacent room coughing. Our room had a beautiful balcony but we had to keep the shutters closed to shut out the relentless noise. Also, internet was very poor and hard to log into with different router and different code for the upstairs and downstairs, so when you tried to use your device you kept getting cut off and had to log back in. It was fairly pricy and I was expecting premium accommodations; this did not meet my expectations.

Nice hotel convenient location
This was my second trip to Luang Prabang November 20 - 25, 2015. My first experience stems back to December 2000. After 15 years LP has transformed itself into a top tourist destination for the well heeled tourist as well as for backpackers. There is now an abundance of guesthouses, and hotels in LP and I cherry picked Villa Ban Lakkham based on the favorable reviews it received. My stay, 5 nights, exceeded my expectations in almost every aspect. The hotel is well situated on the river. Quiet at night a plus, and the breakfast is excellent. My compliments to the cook! In fact, I am a big eater and the hotel when out of its way to ensure I ate well. I am very thankful for that. The hotel is also very secure and I never felt unsafe. My room was cleaned immaculately everyday with plenty of air conditioning which is important due to the heat. Reception and hotel staff very personable and treated me like family and helpful at every turn when I needed information. A plus also was the free bicycles provided to guests which was practical and came in very handy. The internet wifi in my room was shaky but strong signal near reception. This is negligible as My overall experience was most favorable and I regret not staying in LP a couple of extra days more. Next time I will, and I will book again with Villa Ban Lakkham.

Sehr gute Wahl am Ufer des Khan River
Top Lage am Zufluss des Mekong. Nur wenige Schritte zu Restaurants und Klöstern. Mit Tamarind und Bamboo Tree liegen die zwei besten Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe. Auch der erstklassige Italiener La Rose ist fussläufig erreichbar. Zur Massage ist das L‘Hibiscus um die Ecke sehr zu empfehlen. Das Frühstück im Hotel wird auf einer schmucklosen Terrasse auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite serviert. Man geht auf individuelle Wünsche ein und ist sehr bemüht. Der angebotene Shuttleservice zur Abholung vom Flughafen klappte einwandfrei. Roomservice wird nicht täglich durchgeführt. Ansonsten guter Service in einem sehr angenehm familiär geführten kleinen Hotel. Eine Empfehlung wert!

总体来说还是不错的。位置在南康河边，选择的双人豪华标间，房间确确实实小了一点，可能是装修有一点久了，浴室显得干净度没有那么高，本来想靠街可能晚上会很吵，实际上还好，不太受影响，倒是房间与房间的隔音不算太好，能听到隔壁房间的声音。 早餐是真的棒，过一条街坐在河边吃早饭，非常惬意，而且很好吃。 相对还是价格高了一点。

5連泊しました。 コテージ風の木造の建物で、バルコニーも着いており快適でした。 無料で自転車をレンタルできますが、どれもコンディションが悪く、1台は途中でパンク？空気が抜けてしまい、30分ほど自転車を引いて歩いて帰ってくる羽目になりました。 スタッフはみんなにこやかでフレンドリーです。オススメします。

立地最高！
観光で利用しました。 立地が非常に良く、周辺にはおいしいレストランやお店が揃っています。また、メインストリートのちょうど真ん中くらいで、観光地なら何処へ行くにも徒歩圏内です。自転車も無料で貸してくれます（品質にバラつき有り。私のはちょっとブレーキが甘かった・・・）。朝の托鉢見学にも便利です。ホテルから３０秒です。ナムカーン川が目の前のため、バルコニーでくつろぎならが景色を眺めることもできます。 この値段で、この立地は素晴らしすぎるのですが、難点もありました。壁が・・・薄いです。隣の部屋の方の動きが逐一わかるくらいです。 それでもメリットの方が多いホテルなので、おすすめです。
