Probably the best shop in town: practical & no fuss. I rented a semi automatic here for 3 days as recommended by Yves which worked well and was easy to drive. You pay at the end so you can stay flexible on the length of your rental as he keeps the passport which was in good hands here luckily. After doing both loops, I can recommend the automatic in Pakse and semi automatic in Thakhek as the roads have more potholes, gravel/ slippery surface and curves there. The automatic is bigger and more comfortable to sit on, better for the feet + has a phone holder (so useful when driving alone!) but the semi automatic would probably be better for the shitty roads and is lighter & less bumpy as it has bigger wheels and better suspension, ultimately it depends what you prioritise, both do the job. Usually you need to take care of flat tires and small fixes yourself, bigger issues you can call them. Nothing happened with me luckily as the bike was in great condition. Things to improve would be the breefing at 6pm which was helpful but hard to understand as it's next to a loud busy road, maybe move it inside? Phone holders on all bikes would also be amazing as I had to stop a lot to find the entrances to guesthouses etc. Thanks for everything!

It was great driving around on the motorbike and to feel the freedom of moving around on your 'own' vehicle. Motorbike in very good condition, information given without bullshit (Miss Noy and Mister Yves both give honest information and if something is nice they will tell you, and if something is not nice they will also tell you). They also sell tickets and I got one there to Don Som (4000 Islands) and they gave good information also about that. The Bolaven Loop was great and very interesting!!!!

It was honestly the best service-related experience we had during our trip through Laos. They gave us incredibly detailed and useful information about Pakse, the Pakse Loop (so detailed that the only downside was not having enough time to explore everything!) and also the Champasak Loop — which is really underrated. If you're reading this in February and thinking about going, do it. Driving through the green rice fields is beautiful, and don’t miss the small motorbike ferry ride to the other side. All the information they gave us was accurate and up to date. We truly felt that they cared about our experience and safety in the region, not just about renting us a motorbike. The motorbike itself was in great condition, and we were also very happy with the laundry service. When we returned the bike, we booked a minivan to Nakasang plus the ferry to Don Det through them, and everything went smoothly. The ticket covered the whole trip to the island (unlike some other travelers we met who had to buy an extra ferry ticket). Prices were comparable to other companies, and considering the level of service, absolutely worth it. We would definitely use their service again when back in Pakse. Greetings from Slovenia 🙂

Would rate 6/5 If possible. Best Service and a very low price (maybe lowest in Pakse). There is a Briefing everyday at 6 PM for the Bolaven loop, which is extremely helpfull. We die the big loop and after we went to the 4.000 Islands with the bikes. Theres no agreed rent lenght beforehand. That makes it more spontanious. We took the bikes for 5 days and went for 13 days with no Problems. Half of our accomondations where recomandations of Miss Noy and Yves. They where Always in Point. After that, Yves booked the Bus to Ubon, Thailand for us, with Hotel shuttle in Pakse. It worked Like a charm and was cheaper thank online. He also remvered us to fill in the e-arrival card.

Brilliant service with great information the night before - all renters assemble at 1800 and the whole intro takes about an hour, time very well spent with a bit of Belgian humour thrown in (who knew Belgians had a sense of humour!). The map of the trip is excellent too, invaluable once you're on the road. We had a minor brake issue while travelling and the response from Yves and Miss Nuy was exemplary - quick and efficient, problem solved and paid for in about 15 mins., costs refunded on our return. Their laundry service is great too. All in all, a really good experience, go for it! A few notes about the actual loop We spent 3 nights on the road, 2 in Tad Lo at Bolaven Garden - great place, loved the two evenings there, chatting over excellent food with other guests and the owner. We also stayed at Shared Happy Farm, great too, such an enthusiastic owner, grows nearly all the food you will consume right there on the farm. As it is at 1100m, you will need warm clothes - dropped to about 5C the night we were there. Don't skip the extra loop - it's quiet and very hilly in parts, loved it. And after doing it, pay Bolaven Paradise a visit, delicious food and a very interesting German owner.

We had a nice experience with this rental. Got a good bike, a good long talk with a paper map of the loop with some tips where to go, what to do and what to see as well. Owner knows what he’s doing and he does a great job considering the amount of people that come to him everyday. Thank you 👏
