  The rooms and location are top notch.

  The host gave us misinformation about the accommodation.

  At first, I liked it. Beautiful view with a private balcony overlooking the Mekong River. That's all. And here are

  The view.

  1. It was not peaceful at all. The sound insulation was the worst. I stayed on the second floor and could hear extremely loud footsteps from the floor above. THUD, THUD, THUD. Not to mention, the guests above were inconsiderate enough to run around at midnight, 2 AM, or 4 AM; even my Sony XM5 couldn’t save me. 2. The building was damp, with mold and bagworms in several spots. 3. The balcony floor hadn’t been properly scrubbed. 4. ⁠The staff didn’t speak English. 5. ⁠The lack of communication about building maintenance (construction) was inconvenient. They should've informed the guests at least one day prior, so the guests could plan ahead.

  If you love peace and quiet and being away from the tourist hustle have a look.

  The hotel room was a good size and had two balconies to use which were a good useable size. The view was out to the mighty Mekong River, which flowed quietly past. With the mountains as a backdrop it was a pleasant view. The beds were great as were the furnishing in the room, which was more like an apartment. The kitchen was new - in fact the whole hotel looked recently built and in great shape. The wi-fi was great as were the air con units, so top marks for many things, including the bathroom as it had a full deep bath. Towels were great size and quality too. But....

  The hotel is isolated on the very outskirts of town and accessed via a mud and gravel side street lined with houses which were very run down. Walking into town was not an option as the road was rural in appearance and rundown with bad footpaths. There were no cafes or shops within walking distance that I could see, so calling a taxi using the local LOCA app was the only option. There was a well rated restaurant close by but walking there wasn't something I was keen on doing. The hotel, as mentioned, looked quite new but was lacking in those final touches to make it great. Bathroom was clean....but could have been cleaner. The sofa was old and a little grubby, the kitchen was well equiped with new appliances, but no coffee or tea or milk / juice / alcohol and just basic water bottles and no plates or cutlery. No problem if there was shop or cafe close to grab those things, but theres not. I mention the lack of shops because if the hotel set up a mini shop down in reception because it is so remote, it could ease many of these issues and would be a great help to all the guests. So take what you want before you go or be prepared to write a list and grab it all when you're out. If you are willing to forgive a few little let downs, Sokview has the potential to be a really really nice place to stay. It just needs those little extra touches and you'll see past the terrible road and the isolated location because of that view and the peace and quiet. (Sorry for not adding a picture of the access road)
