Marisa W TripAdvisor review

The Sofitel Luang Prabang is an amazing hotel with personalized service made possible by having only 25 rooms. The staff at breakfast remembers you and your preferences and elevates the experience at every turn. The front desk doubles as the concierge and they are always at your service. Yai was impeccable. She always explained things clearly and helped us make decisions about what to do through the hotel (Kuang Si Waterfalls) and what to do on our own (Pak Si Cave). We also had an amazing Lao couples massage and the pool is wonderful for lounging or swimming laps. One note depending on what you’re looking for: the hotel has a lot of families, the kids were generally loud and often taking up a lot of space at the pool. The one downside of the hotel: while Yai was amazing, a colleague of hers at the front desk was less contentious. Whereas Yai laid out our options, confirmed the cost, and had us sign for our selection, we had a different experience with her colleague: we asked about going to the alms giving in the morning, mainly to ask exactly where to go and when — we were well accustomed to walking downtown from the hotel which is an easy walk and preferable to being driven. This colleague however assumed we would go with the hotel and told us to be ready at 5:15 AM. The hotel has a shuttle that goes downtown so we thought we’d be going with any other guests who opted in. When we got there in the morning, however, it was just us in the car — even though it turned out that at least two other groups from the hotel had gone. We were also surprised by the setup, where the sister hotel downtown had nice stools for us with plenty of sticky rice for the monks, water to pour on the bushes and an offering to place on the buddha at the temple afterward. We had received no context on what the activity would entail — including the cost of $30 per person (USD), which was not made known to us until we received our final bill at checkout. I think this was an honest oversight so I didn’t make a big deal of it, but it was quite frustrating. I will say that this same colleague allowed us a 4:30 PM checkout because our departing train wasn’t until 6 PM and that is both very uncommon and very much appreciated. All in all an amazing experience I would recommend. Too bad that we had this surprise fee without any context or sign off ahead of time.

Dear Marisa, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your stay at Sofitel Luang Prabang. We are truly delighted to read that you enjoyed the personalized service made possible by our intimate size, as well as the breakfast experience, pool, spa, and your Lao couples massage. Your kind words about Yai are especially appreciated — she is indeed a valued member of our team, and we will be sure to recognize her for her impeccable service and clear, caring guidance during your stay. At the same time, please allow us to sincerely apologize for the frustration you experienced regarding the alms giving arrangement. You are absolutely right to expect clear explanations, advance confirmation, and transparent communication of costs before participating in any activity. While we appreciate your understanding that this was not intentional, your feedback highlights an important gap in our service delivery, and we take it very seriously. We are already reinforcing our internal procedures to ensure that all guests receive full context, options, and cost confirmation — with explicit sign-off — prior to any arrangements being made. We are, however, pleased that the late check-out could be extended to support your travel plans, and we’re glad this provided some added comfort on your departure day. Thank you once again for recommending our hotel despite this shortcoming. Your comments help us improve, and we sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even more seamless and exceptional experience. Warm regards, Aitthiphol Kamolsatian (Max) Cluster Front Office Manager Sofitel Luang Prabang
