Kirill RaikovA New Hotel with Potential, but Service Falls Short of Five-Star Standards
Pros
The hotel is clearly new, and the room is spacious, modern, and equipped with brand-new furniture and fixtures. The bed is comfortable, the air conditioning works very well, and the plumbing is in good condition.
Breakfast is included in the room rate. The hotel appears to cater primarily to Chinese tourists, with large tour groups arriving by coach. Accordingly, breakfast is largely Chinese-style, which may not suit everyone's tastes. The breakfast area can also be quite noisy, as guests often speak loudly, sometimes seemingly trying to talk over one another. This makes breakfast less relaxing than one might expect. On the positive side, the staff are very accommodating and are happy to prepare alternatives upon request. For example, they kindly made an omelette for me, which I appreciated.
Another highlight is the rooftop bar on the seventh floor, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area.
Cons
Unfortunately, several issues detract from the overall experience.
There was no soap in the bathroom, despite shampoo and shower gel being provided in the shower. The shower drain was extremely slow, forcing me to turn off the water periodically to prevent the bathroom from flooding. In addition, an unpleasant musty smell frequently came from the bathroom.
The Wi-Fi connection was unreliable and kept disconnecting, which was frustrating.
Despite having a kettle, tea bags, and instant coffee in the room, there were no cutlery items at all, not even a teaspoon to stir the coffee. Such a small detail, yet an important one when it comes to basic room amenities.
The curtains also close automatically every time you return to the room, meaning you have to open them again manually using a button during the daytime. This is a rather odd and inconvenient feature.
Another issue is housekeeping. Daily cleaning is not provided automatically and must be requested by displaying the appropriate sign. This is an unexpected policy for a hotel claiming five-star status.
The location is another drawback. The hotel is situated away from the main part of town, where most restaurants, cafés, and other activities are concentrated. It takes approximately 15 minutes to walk to the centre, including around 200 metres along a very dusty road. This makes walking back and forth less pleasant, especially if you plan to visit the town centre several times a day.
Overall impression
The hotel has a solid foundation: it is new, spacious, and comfortable in several respects. The comfortable bed, effective air conditioning, and rooftop bar are definite advantages. However, the service and attention to detail do not match the five-star category it claims to offer.
For me, five-star hospitality means consistent, uncompromising standards. Guests should not have to ask for basic bathroom essentials, improvise when making coffee, deal with a poorly draining shower and unpleasant bathroom odours, endure an unreliable Wi-Fi connection, or explicitly request routine housekeeping. The noisy breakfast environment and the dusty road leading to the town centre also make the overall experience less comfortable.
Individually, some of these issues may seem minor, but together they reveal significant shortcomings in service, maintenance, and quality control. A five-star hotel should not require guests to make compromises on such basic aspects of their stay.
The hotel has potential, but considerable improvements are needed in day-to-day operations, housekeeping, maintenance, and attention to detail before it can truly deliver a five-star experience.

NazarethbuxThe hotel is a perfect location, very easy access to the town and also a gorgeous unobstructed view of the mountains. It pretty quiet and peaceful.
The bathroom could use a little/ maintenance tidying up to feel more clean. But other than that everything was lovely! The room was really spacious and comfortable for two of us and it was totally worth paying a bit more for the balcony with a view. We watched the sunset from there one day and could see some hot air balloons and paramotorists.
The breakfast is pretty good, quite Asian/ Chinese. They have some yogurt, fruits, baked goods and chicken sausage and bacon but most of the other food is Chinese. Good variety though! They had gluten free cereal on request but sadly it wasn’t very good.
The hotel helped us to book tours and their communication was really good. The WiFi is also great!

AdalbertThe hotel is not quite new, that is obvious. The mirror on the room was missing, broken out by force.
There is no WiFi except in the reception area. The photo of the building shows balconies at all rooms on the photo side. But my room had none.
There was no daily room service.
For the rest it was okay. Well maintained, clean, quiet inside and mountain view from the windows. Small fridge, AC, full working bathroom. (Long waiting for warm water)
The breakfast buffet was great.
The swimming pool in front of the entrance was good. The seating area around poor. I really missed a bigger and nicer area, perhaps garden like around. Especially for I had no balcony.
I would go there again for sleeping and having breakfast. But for holidays I want to have a decent place outdoors as well.

Guest UserI came to Vang Vieng with my friend to experience some outdoor activities, and this hotel was absolutely fantastic! It's super convenient for getting around, whether you're heading out early for a hot air balloon ride, rock climbing, or hiking. The hotel pool is a major highlight; after a full day of outdoor adventures, a swim here just washes all the tiredness away. In the evening, the views of the distant mountains and sunset are simply stunning. The rooms are well-equipped and perfectly maintained. One afternoon, we were caught in a sudden downpour while out and about. We contacted the hotel, and the staff were incredibly helpful, actively offering assistance. The hotel breakfast offers a wide variety of choices, ensuring we were well-fueled for exploring all the sights. The service is meticulous and warm. With such beautiful scenery and attentive service, I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Vang Vieng!

We had a wonderful stay at Tara Vang Vieng. Although we visited during the rainy season, there was some flooding around the water area, and it was not the lotus season, the staff were extremely helpful and made our stay very enjoyable.
The room was a little dark, and around lunchtime, there were quite a few outside guests coming to the restaurant, which slightly affected the peaceful atmosphere. However, overall, everything was wonderful. We especially loved the local products and the warm, friendly atmosphere.
I would definitely recommend Tara Vang Vieng to my family and friends, and I would be happy to stay here again when they visit Laos

The stay was okay, but unfortunately the staff were not very friendly and didn’t even greet guests, which made me feel unwelcome. Also, the prices for renting a scooter were almost twice as high as at other places nearby. Overall, it was fine, but I expected a warmer atmosphere and fairer prices.

Путешествиник мираWonderful hotel! Cozy, clean bungalows. We had a bungalow with a magnificent mountain view from both the bathroom and the balcony. The bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub, which we used several times and really enjoyed! The room had all the amenities and was quiet. The hotel is generally located a bit off the main road, so it's quiet on the property. The only minor issue was the limited food options at breakfast. There aren't many guests at the hotel, so it seems they only set out a small buffet and don't replenish it once the food runs out.
We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would gladly come back again.

Absolutely amazing stay - it's clear that the owners take pride in their hotel. The pool and pool area is incredibly clean. The breakfast is fantastic, fresh fruit (varied and lots of it) contained in a fridge (so fresh, cold and no bugs like a lot of other hotels). Option of cooked breakfast every morning (eggs your way). The gentleman running the hotel is so helpful, he booked several tours for us, getting us a good price and being patient when we changed our plans several times. The communal areas are incredibly clean, the staff are always working hard doing something for the hotel. The location is excellent - walkable to everything in Vang Vieng, near some nice restaurants (Green, Vela, beats and bites). Everything in the room worked perfectly. The shower had great pressure and great temperature. Bed was extremely comfortable and the TV was loaded with apps to watch TV (we used Plex as it had English language shows and films). The bathroom has soap, shampoo and fresh towels daily. The rooftop is amazing, we actually used this instead of going to rooftop bars. The hotel sells beer in the fridge at reception.
Highly highly recommend this hotel.
Genuinely we could not find any fault with this hotel at all, we over heard many guests booking to stay extra nights expressing how happy they were with the stay at the hotel and the breakfast.

XokthaveeEvery time I visit Vang Vieng, I used to stay at Winfresh Hotel, but this time I booked Sisombath Plaza Hotel because I heard their breakfast was good. The rooms and the pool were clean, and the parking lot was spacious. The breakfast was also quite good and satisfying. I think I'll be staying at this hotel whenever I come to Vang Vieng from now on. I had a great stay.
