Let's start with the positives: the room was clean and tidy, but also completely overpriced. We had booked 3 nights through Trip.com and were told we'd have to switch rooms after two nights because they were fully booked. We were also told we could cancel the last night if we didn't want to stay. We wanted to check out the hotel first and said we'd get back to them. The odd thing was, we were the only guests. We ended up checking out a night early. We were told to cancel via Trip.com, and of course, a cancellation for the last night was not accepted. We also got the feeling they were glad to see us go. The supposed restaurant wasn't even open, so you have to go into the village. Incidentally, another reviewer was also fed the same story about the supposedly fully booked hotel. The breakfast was sufficient and the service was friendly.FromUS$86

The hotel was very clean and the owners are very nice. For example, I had mistakenly left some belongings on a bus the previous day and wasn't able to speak very good Lao to explain at the bus station. After I messaged one of the owners of the hotel on WhatsApp, he went out of his way to drive me to the bus station the next morning, explain my situation to them, and help me successfully get my belongings back. Both owners were extremely kind and hospitable, and I would highly recommend this hotel.FromUS$21

I can’t say that it was the best hotel we had ever stayed at but we certainly had a nice stay at the Tulip hotel. At first sight it felt a little be out of place with the play park for the children , the restaurant and bar and the huge house. But then it all works well.
The staff is absolutely fantastic and went out of their way to make our stay as easy and pleasant as they could. Nothing was too much or too complicated.
Loved the lunch /dinner menu in the restaurant, food is local and fresh. Prices are very reasonable.
Free bicycles and scooters are available for rent at 8usd for 1/2 day. So quite good value.
The rooms are very spacious and beds comfortable. TV had Netflix and YouTube if you want to watch TV. Beautiful large windows with an amazing view over the fields and mountains (1st floor).
The bathroom could however have been a little cleaner as there was rust and chipping tiles. The shower get was empty and wasn’t replenished and also the towels have definitely seen better days.
Other than that, it was a brilliant stay, we definitely recommend if you’re planning to visit luang Namtha.0 Reviews
