We stayed for five days at Don Nangloy and had an incredible time. If you are looking for an authentic Lao experience, this is the place. We were one of the first tourists at the island and got insights into the life of the 300 families that live at Don Nangloy. The bungalows are newly built - simple but comfortable. Moreover, they are right next to the Mekong. Experiencing the amazing sunsets at this place while swimming in the Mekong was an incredible experience.We were really happy to get to know Phonephet, the owner of this place. His English is pretty good, so he was able to tell us about the traditions of Lao culture. He was also a monk for 8 years and can give insights into Buddhism and meditation. His wife can cook for you three times a day. The food is tasty and you can always get more so you won’t feel hungry. Phonephet also started a volunteer project at Don Nangloy. Foreign volunteers can come and help teaching the local children English, in order to give them better perspectives in life. For more information you can research about the „Don Khamao Project“ where you will also find contact information of Phonephet in case you have any questions. Introducing these children to the English language and playing games with them was a meaningful experience for us, from which we learned a lot.

Bed are confortable, room big , location okay

Beautiful location by the river with hammocks to lie in, walking distance to the town on Don Khone

We absolutely loved staying at the Don Som Riverside Guesthouse, best place to stay and eat in the 4000 islands. Our little bungalow was super confortable and the shared bathroom was spacious and always clean. We had the view on the Mekong and we spend a crazy amount of time in the hammocks in front of the bungalow. It's a bit further from the rest of the 4000 islands but definitely worth it, the owners are adorable and will do anything to help you and make your stay an awesome experience. Also the island itself is very pretty and only locals live there so if you looking to get away from touristic places, this is your spot! The food is delicious there, breakfast, mango shake and my favorite: their pad thai. Water is free and they have plenty of activities. We went fishing in the Mekong and rented their scooter to visit the different islands. We would have stayed at least a week there if we could. Highly recommend!!

The location was great and perfect for a romantic escape. The host was wonderful, always helpful and ready to assist us with anything. The hotel restaurant was also good, with excellent options.

My visit to the Don Det Hotel was exceptional, offering a level of welcome and care that is truly rare. While the location offers the relaxed island vibe one expects from Laos, it is the people running this establishment who truly make it a wonderful experience. The defining feature of this hotel is undoubtedly the presence of Andy. From the moment I arrived, his **warmth and approachability** made me feel less like a customer and more like a welcomed guest. Andy possesses a rare ability to connect with travelers, offering genuine conversation and invaluable local advice that significantly enhanced my trip. He is constantly present and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the stay runs smoothly. His dedication creates an atmosphere that is both professional and incredibly personal, making it hard to leave when the trip comes to an end. Complementing Andy’s leadership is a staff team. The service here is marked by a level of attentiveness and care that stands out on the island. * Genuine Kindness: Every interaction is met with a smile, and the staff handles requests with efficiency and grace. * Seamless Operations: Whether ordering food or arranging transport, the staff executes their duties flawlessly, allowing guests to fully relax. A Comfortable Island Retreat Beyond the service, the hotel itself offers a clean and comfortable sanctuary. The combination of the stunning river views makes it the ideal base for exploring Don Det. It is rare to find such a well-run establishment. I cannot recommend the Don Det Hotel highly enough. If you are looking for a place where you will be treated with genuine care and outstanding service, look no further than Andy and his wonderful team.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with very good English. Arranged the transport from the hotel to Don Det for free. The room was on the ground floor and A/C worked very well.

A wonderful relaxing quiet stay in this beautiful room with balcony & hammock on the rivers edge and glorious sunset views. A very welcoming and relaxed family run guesthouse and restaurant, food so fresh and delicious! Recommend a slow walk around Don Det taking in the river scenes/locals at work and coffee stops and definitely hiring a bike (available at guesthouse)to explore the neighbouring islands and the waterfalls. Highly recommend this accommodation.
