“PERFECT HIDEAWAY - CLOSE TO NATURE”

Reviewed June 2, 2013 via mobile

accessible only by boat, so imagine yourself being on a real heaven on earth where you won't be disturbed by any phonecalls or emails. The lodge is just a small bridge away from KAMU village where you would just appreciate how much nature means to you. Only the food here that we would think should be improved. Lao cuisine would...

“poor service, ridiculous activities offered by ignorant and arrogant French manager”

Reviewed May 14, 2013

went up the Mekong from Luang Prabang on the quite comfortable boat owned by Kamu lodge with a 'guide' from the lodge who could hardly talk in English together with the French manager of Kamu lodge. According to the itinerary provided by our local travel agency we should have made a stop at the Pak Ou Caves to visit the... More

“Camping in comfort”

Reviewed April 4, 2013

This was one of 2 overnight stops on our Mekong cruise from Luang Prabang to Thailand and we were very glad we included this extra stop. The 'tent' was surprisingly comfortable and spacious with a basic but perfectly adequate shower and toilet attached. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast there. It was buffet style so you could choose what you... More

“A tent near the Mekong”

Reviewed March 23, 2013

Stayed at the lodge while travelling down the Mekong. Accommodation was in tents, the tents reminded me of safari trips in Africa. The lighting was poor, but the beds were comfortable. The shower was very basic. Had 3 meals at the lodge, food was fresh, tasty and plentiful. There is really not much to do, the activities are not for... More

How to start this? A totally unexpected experience which we loved, but which you must know what you are going into. it is like going back in time about 50 years...As you will have read, the hotel has been created by training the people from the neighbouring village, and the guests are treated to the simple life, such as fishing,...

“A must try experience while traveling in Luang Prabang”

Reviewed February 28, 2013

It is really an amazing experience to have a side trip from Luang Prabang by staying at Kamu Lodge. Kamu Lodge is the right choice for nature-lovers. You will be transferred to the Kamu Lodge by long-tail boat along Mekong river which is a good experience. It takes about 3 hours. The tent is rustic but with modern comfort. Bedding... More

Beautiful scenery and wonderful staff. Was nice to get away from internet, cell phones and enjoy nature. Solar powered lights and water heater, but due to cloudy days, the water was cold.
