Villa Maydou Boutique Hotel

Such a lovely hidden gem of a hotel. So quiet but right in the midst of everything. The staff are awesome. Breakfast is varied, plentiful and free. |The pool is lovely to get into after being out walking on a hot day. The rooms are spacious and serviced every day with fresh towels and water. It’s nice some days to just sit on the verandah and enjoy the peace and quiet. |Villa Maydou has a lovely ambience about it and I’ll miss it as much as Luang Prabang itself.

Just before the Old Bridge, set back from the road, next to a temple, this is the kind of accommodation I couldn't wish for better. Villa Maydou is exactly my taste!The hotel's individual buildings are loosely spread across the site, some of which have been carefully restored and are listed as historical monuments. I love the teak floors in the upper rooms.The hotel lives from its historic charm, the caring staff and Laotian vibe. The open breakfast pavilion (don't touch the Fishtail Palm!) offers a great, also regional variety of options. The pool is a nice place to relax after your excursions and the cosy bar next to it invites you to forget the time with a G&T.  Guests can use free rental bikes to reach everything in the old town.

Great heritage hotel with lovely staff, especially Boun Sou in the restaurant at breakfast time. The rooms are awesome with everything you could possibly want or need. The verandahs are lovely to sit on and the pool great to swim in. Quiet location, however walkable to everywhere.

We had such a great stay in Villa Maydou, located 15-20mins away from the center. The room was beautiful, quiet and spatious. They provide free filtered water.

Villa Maydou is a lovely hotel in traditional buildings amongst greenery a little off the main roads. The rooms and common spaces are well decorated. The staff is welcoming and friendly.

Beautiful resort with a very friendly staff. Its a very calm little oasis in the sometimes busy streets of Luang Prabang. We will stay there again.

This was my third stay at Villa Maydou. The comfort is unmatched – the rooms are clean and decorated in a minimalist Indochine style that's both classic and serene. It's a perfect marriage of modern comfort and Laotian tradition.||The real star of the show, however, is the property itself. The beautifully preserved houses, with the main house being a UNESCO heritage building, are a testament to Luang Prabang's rich history. Lush gardens surround the entire property, and the quaint pathways connecting the buildings and the entrance create a charming village-like atmosphere. It truly feels like you're stepping back in time and experiencing the essence of Luang Prabang, all while indulging in modern luxuries.

The hotel is based in an attractive array of traditional buildings with stepping stones through the gardens to each one. In our bathroom there was a swarm of flying insects which was unpleasant but we dealt with them without too much bother (sorry vegans but they had to go). The bathroom has a shower attachment and curtain over the bath, the toilet room didn't have a washbasin which seems a little. As for the TV I wasn't aware that you could buy one that small, there wasn't any English language stations and most of them looked as if it was snowing. In fairness it wasn't an inconvenience for us as we didn't come to watch television. Our room had Aircon and ceiling fans which was most welcome. The hotel appears to be on the flight path of the local airport but they have hardly any flights so it wasn't problematic. The pool is quite small with green tiles which nicely complements the surroundings, it's large enough to cool off in which is the main thing, it's the same depth of 1.6 meters over the whole length. Near the pool are sunloungers with parasols, three tables and chairs with chess sets, conveniently towels are available by the bar, also you can borrow bicycles which is a nice idea.
