Residence Bassac — Restaurant in Champasak Province

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Résidence Bassac in Champasak and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations.

The location of the residence is simply stunning. Nestled amidst the tranquil surroundings of Champasak, it offers breathtaking views of the Bassac River and the surrounding lush greenery. The peaceful and serene atmosphere immediately made me feel at ease and helped me disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The staff at Résidence Bassac are incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. From the moment I arrived, they went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always ready to assist me with any inquiries or requests, and their genuine hospitality made me feel like a valued guest.

The rooms at Résidence Bassac are tastefully decorated and offer a perfect blend of modern convenience and traditional charm. I was impressed with the cleanliness and attention to detail. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of exploring the surrounding attractions.

One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional dining experience at the on-site restaurant. The menu offered a wonderful selection of both local and international cuisines, prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients. I particularly enjoyed trying the traditional Lao dishes, which were bursting with authentic flavors. The restaurant's cozy ambiance and attentive service further enhanced my dining experience.

The location of Résidence Bassac is ideal for exploring the wonders of Champasak. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Wat Phou is just a short drive away, and the hotel offers convenient arrangements for tours and excursions to nearby attractions. Whether it was exploring the ancient ruins, taking a boat ride along the Bassac River, or simply soaking in the beauty of the surrounding nature, every moment was unforgettable.

Overall, my experience at Résidence Bassac was truly remarkable. From the picturesque location to the impeccable service, it is a true gem in Champasak. I highly recommend this residence to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat, impeccable hospitality, and an authentic...

We went here for lunch. I have had much better lunches in Laos for less than half of the prices here. We ordered beef tenderloin medium rare with glazed vegetables and a choice of fries as our side, which is stated to be included at the top of the page with the meat and fish . And yes, we were served medium rare steak but it was COLD! The fries were piping hot and we got no vegetables. When we asked for the vegetables they said it was swapped for fries???? So after some back and for the we got our veggies after the rest of the meal was finished already.

Also they charge 3% credit card fee on top of already high prices which other luxury accommodations and restaurants in Laos do not charge.

Overal very disappointing. Will not go again nor do I recommend this place for food.

UPDATE: I find it very strange to say in the response that is your restaurant is not your hotel. It is in the same establishment, same personal, same owner. In all my life I never had such a strange reaction! But hey, if you also want a one star review per your request on your restaurant separately I am more than happy to do so!

UPDATE 2: the full reply of the owner has been changed below since their first response. I also posted the review on their restaurant as per their request.

Our frustration was not beyond the meal we had UNTIL the respond here on google when you said that it is not your hotel but your restaurant. I was more than happy to leave it at one review. You should take responsibility for its faults since it is the same establishment and the same people work there. And yes, I sincerely hope you learn from your mistakes.

Update 3: after I updated the review the owner removed their...
