Good points about the Sengkeo Guesthouse
The Sengkeo Guesthouse is one of the cheapest places to stay in Vang Vieng which now has more mid range and expensive accommodation than it does budget accommodation suitable for people on longer trips around Asia looking to make their money stretch further. Booked online its cost $11 to $12 USD a night for a private double room with en-suite bathroom, which is slightly less than you would pay for a bed in a dormitory nearer the centre of town. If are looking an affordable option in Vang Vieng and staying in dormitories isn’t your thing, then the Sengkeo Guesthouse is good choice.
