As of yet, there is no hotel classification system in Laos. The distinction between Hotels and Guesthouses is simply the number of rooms (16 rooms and more qualify as hotel). So it’s quite possible to find a “guesthouse” that offers a higher standard than a “hotel”.

Unlike other websites that list hotels, vientiane4fun.com is not hotel-reservation site. In our experience, however, in most cases it is anyhow cheaper to book a room directly with the hotel of your choice, contrary to what all these hotel-reservation sites try to make you believe.

Whereas Vientiane has had for quite some time a considerable number of rather cheap hotels and guesthouses, recently many new places with higher standards have opened up and this number is steadily increasing. Vientiane4fun.com updates you with all the latest additions, so make sure to regularly check these pages.
