Stayed AGAIN at Maylyn's in Jan2013 and found the place very peaceful and relaxing. The cabins are cosy and a bit basic but I wasnt looking for a super luxury place to stay either. All linen and towels are clean, bathroom w shower works fine, bed was big and came with a mosquito net.At the terrace there were a table... More

We came to Maylyn GH after we heard it's an amazing place and we totally agree! The place is quiet, peaceful and relaxing! It's across the river (next to big bridge for the cars) and away from the noisy nightlife, for people who seek quietness. Still it takes only 10 min walk to the city (across the small bamboo bridge).... More

Stayed here for two nights in a double room with ensuite. The room was lovely and clean. Bed was a little hard but fine. The ensuite is grand except for the shower which had both a low volume of water and low pressure. Towels are provided. Lockers are not. The room was not cleaned during our stay. The restaurant is...

We had read about Maylyn on Wikitravel and decided it was something we'd try for a few days. We ended up staying 10 nights! The owners were friendly and helpful, and the kitchen served great tasting meals with a smile. My favourite time was early morning coffee in front of my bungalow, listening to the sounds of the country come... More

What an amazing place. We can't say enough good things about it. Beautiful butterfly filled gardens, flowers everywhere and green, green, green! It's really a little piece of paradise and one of the best memories of our lao tour. There is plenty to do on this side of the bridge and you never have to see an "In the Tubing"... More

Delightful idyllic backwater offering grateful reprieve from the sore sighted developments of the town centre. Whilst capitalist greed and the non stop production line of spotty gap year students has ripped the soul out of this cultural crossroads, the other side of Vang Vieng may prove a heavenly blessing to travelers more in touch with nature and traditional surroundings of...

It was perfect! My girlfriend and I stayed voor 3 nights but we regret that we didn't stayed longer. It's unbelievable 'chil', far away from al the partying at the other side of the river. Far away means: 10 minutes walk, so you can have a party in town and after sleep quiet. Don' t forget to rent a motorcycle... More

Joe is such a character and really made my stay! Love the Irish:) We had interesting conversations, he has a great knowledge of the area and is just generally a... More

I've stayed here a few times and it never fails to impress. Bungalows are set around an attractive garden that blends in with the stunning surrounding scenery. The owner, Joe, works hard to make sure that every stay is a pleasant one, invites conversation, and gives the place a communal feel. Very reasonable prices make this place an excellent deal.
