Hillside - Nature Lifestyle Lodge

Breakfast was delicious, good portion, with some variety. Tried two different ones classic international and a "rice soup", yummy! The staff was super helpful, place doesnt house too many people so small staff but they were great, very accommodating, especially since there were only a few of us at the lodge at that time.

I really enjoyed our stay. The lodge is a bit out of town so going to and from places was always a calculation. They had a van that went into town twice a day, but if not during those times then you'd have to sort it out yourself which can add up. But that is sorta on us for choosing a place removed from the city, which ended up being the thing we enjoyed the most and part of its charm.

Hillside is one of my favorite places to stay while in Luang Prabang. I enjoy the pool, sauna and the relaxing atmosphere. They make really good food at the restaurant!! Everyone working there is always helpful.

the meals were excellent. The pool lovely. I had a steam bath sauna which was also great. So quiet and peaceful there.

I liked everything.

We stayed here for 4 nights to mainly relax having already stayed in Luang Prabang itself. It is a superb hotel. Very relaxed and yet efficient, friendly staff, delicious food including many vegetarian and vegan options. We enjoyed walking to the two local villages which are untouched by tourism and also the nature park and read books around the lovely swimming pool the rest of the time.

Location - pool. Quiet and in the middle of nowhere Very good service

Everything was great

Excellent base outside of Luang Prabang for hikes, visiting the Nahm Dong Park (great for families with kids for short hikes, swimming in the waterfalls, and other activities), and just hanging out at the nice pool, going for a herbal steam bath, playing petanque, ... Highly recommended for a Luang Prabang getaway while still being close to the city.

The setting was stunning, in the hills as the name suggests. Within walking distance to villages, trails and a nature park. The host and staff were wonderful, really helpful. A lovely friendly warm ambience has been created by Holger, the owner, which made our stay feel very homely. I loved looking out from the restaurant balcony onto a palm fringed garden and a hilly backdrop.

I loved my stay here. I highly recommend it and will def come backThe location is paradise, 360 degress nature and only 30 mins away from town. The pool area itself deserves 10 points, i never expected a steam bath in SE asia, it was perfect.The staff has been great, always ready to help and have a little chat.Breakfast and food options were plenty, fresh and delicious.Room was simple but great comfort which i only used to sleep as there plenty of chilling and social areas around the property. Never needed the airconditioning, and the room was quiet except one day i had VERY noisy neighbours which is not the lodge fault.

I gave 10 points, so i will be picky, the matress was a bit soft for my taste.Honestly i cant think of anything i didnt like.

Very nice place, very nice host Holger : ). He really makes you feel welcome and provides exhaustive and very exact information about the place and surroundings. It was cold, but the AC was really working as a heater (unlike at many other places in Luang Prabang), so thank you Holger for this ).

The staff seem to exist independently of the guests. They just get on with their lives, mostly eating or simply idling, and one feels like an unwelcome intruder - no-one is interested in you, no-one smiles at you, they just sit in your way without paying any attention and eat or browse in their phones. Very strange feeling for an hotel. If it were a homestay, maybe, but this is not advertised as one

The food and views were excellent. The staff was extremely helpful in sharing information on the National Park and various activities we could do during our stay. There are games and books to borrow in the main house. We loved the "serve yourself" water bottles and tea. It is an excellent place to go and be as active as you wish or as calm as you need. There are no shops or restaurants, so it is what you make of it.

The beds were very, very hard, so be prepared for that. We were pretty sore after two nights. Also, I am an animal lover, and while the animals at the property seem well cared for, I noticed the sweet ponies were left on their own a lot and were wanting attention. One of the two dogs has a sore leg that nobody was addressing. I hope it is soon cared for.

Holger and Mr Kahn prove that staying in Laos doesn't have to mean compromises. Everything works (or, if it doesn't, it gets fixed). Really good food. We stayed just three nights, and all of us wished it could have been longer.

Lovely place, beautifull surroundings, tasty food, friendly crew.

Loud children playing was bit less since we came for the rest.. but thats not something hillside can do something about... was impossible to relax by the pool due that

The beautiful environment , lovely staff and comfortable beds.

Nice hotel in the nature. Cool swimming pool. Close to the park.

Very nice lodge - a bit away from the hassle of the town. Great swimming pool, super breakfast, lunch and dinner. Transport is available twice a day to the town and back - recommend booking it as the road is quite bumpy towards the end. Nice nature park nearby - with waterfalls and nice hiking trails.

Be aware that you are going to the jungle - if you don’t like spiders the viewpoint might not be your thing

Great location for a few days relaxing out of the town. Views of the mountains. Great food (note there is nowhere else nearby). Walks from there to the park (approx 1km) and longer treks to the forest. Cooking course at park is highly recommended. I recommend the hotel viewpoint walk, note it is steep so wear good footwear and deet. Hotel Staff were helpful and happy.

Note this is not adult only.

Comfortable room, great food, great position to explore local national park and good hiking

Absolutely amazing! Peaceful, relaxing, beautiful nature, friendly staff. Good hikes and very very good food. They but a lot of love into the facilities and the food!

The stay were to short

A little paradise on the mountains just outside of Luang Prabang. Perfect for a rest after travelling for a few months. We enjoyed the swimming pool, gardens, comfortable accommodation and the food was excellent. Thank you :-)

A coffee refill at breakfast would have made it perfect.

A place in paradise. The food was excellent, atmosphere amazing due to the nature and the silent location. Host a as very nice and the rooms were clean and incredibly comfy.
