Find hotels near Kong Lor Cave in Koun Kham, Laos

we stayed here for 4 nights in total and really enjoyed our stay. We had a river- front room and were amazed by the stunning view over the river and the jungel. The location is truly magical. One day we rented a rowing boat and went up the clearwater river which was like nothing we've ever seen before! Its about 3 km away from the tham kong lor cave! we also have to mention the great food and especially the breakfast which was one of the best ones we had during our travels. The resort itself is very clean and beautifully done! the staff was also incredibly helfpul. we honestly wished we could have stayed longer!

The Kong Lo View Hotel and Resort is a work-in-progress. It has been under construction for approximately 5 years, and when it is complete, it will be marvellous. It is not yet complete. Most of the rooms are still under construction. During our stay an outlet came out of the wall and a water spigot in the shower came off the wall, resulting in a jet of water spraying across the bathroom! Although the rate says that breakfast is included, the voucher was not honoured by the hotel staff. That said, the food was good, and it wasn't worth bickering over a $5 breakfast. The location is stunning, at the base of a mountain cliff, and next-door to the Kong Lor Park entrance - the caves which are a must see!

Ban Kong Lor is THE place to stay if visiting Tham Kong Lor (cave). Incredibly quiet and isolated village location. The actual village (behind the run of guesthouses on the "main" road is leafy and offers up to 20 Homestays, nearly all of which did not seem to have guests when we were there. The river behind the village is a must-walk in morning or evening. However if you prefer western comforts, then Chantha House offers fantastic big rooms and great outdoor dining area surrounded by working fields which was a big plus in the evening. Owner speaks excellent English and is very helpful and accommodating. All the staff (think part of the one family) very attentive. Beds are bit springy and bathroom was clean but little small (but only in context of all the other big features the GH offers). Breakfast served from 6.30am which allows enough time to catch the 7am local bus to Route 13/Vientiane, which will pick you up outside Chantha House- bus sleeps o/n in village (arrives 5pm).

Khounmee Guesthouse is in the middle of a small village in one of the most awesome setting in Asia. The bamboo rooms are lovely and each opens onto a view of rice and tobacco fields hemmed in by spectacular jagged limestone ranges. The rooms are cleaned every day and each as a small verandah and hammock to simply relax and be. Staff are professional and friendly and speak enough English to handle any questions. The food is good and there are other restaurants nearby. In the evening they light a fire for travellers of The Loop or trippers through the longest caves in Asia to sit and share stories. I stayed two days and came back for a week.

The food offered by their restaurant is great. There is free wifi. The rooms are old and very dated. Not exactly dirty but far from clean. No screens on the windows. Not a lot of additional things offered. We stayed there because it says it also rents boats. We wanted to rent a kayak or something. Only rental available was a motor boat group tour which was expensive. Overall, I'd stay there again but now I know to not expect very much at all.
