Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Maison Dalabua provides an immersive experience with its lush, beautifully maintained gardens and serene lotus ponds, all within a short walk of the city center and the night market. The breakfast, often enjoyed by the pond, receives high praise for its fresh eggs, excellent buffet, and wonderful coffee, with some guests even purchasing the Lao coffee to take home. Rooms are spacious, and many offer terraces overlooking the pool or gardens; however, some guests have noted a musty smell in rooms near the ponds. The main restaurant offers remarkable food, a cocktail menu and impeccable service.
