Lock in a great price for BABA Guesthouse – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

nice view; excellent location; spacey bath, room and balcony; super-fast laundry; very clean accomodation

Bm_slash, Germany

Nice and quiet location away from the pubs and overlooked the river. The accomodation was modern and the aircon was fantastic

Rachel, Australia

Great location, nice and big rooms with balcony. Baba is very nice.

Laura, Switzerland

The location, their blog and the amazing views from the balcony.

Mad, Portugal

Stunning views of the Mekong, big rooms and large balcony to relax on, Clean, nice garden and communal deck on the river

Daniel, Australia

The room was clean and big, a/c worked perfect and the bed had mosquito net, very much needed in the island. The balcony was nice, directly heading to the street and river. The staff was very smart and they would clean the room every day. So, the room was veeery clean. It is very well located in the almost only big village in the Island, which is very convenient during wet season. Overall, it is a great option to enjoy the island confortably and it is worth spending a few mor bucks in it.

Iñigo, Spain

Easy to check in and a lovely room. The view from the decking was amazing to sit and watch the sun set.

Emma, United Kingdom

The location was convenient, an easy walk from the boat and close to shops and restaurants. Had a nice balcony overlooking the river, and enjoyed the excellent breakfasts on the deck opposite (paid extra for this). The two adjoining islands are well worth exploring with a fascinating French history, vast waterfalls, and river views galore. Really enjoyed my stay here and didn’t spend a lot of time in my room to be truthful.

Melbourne_modernist, Australia

Overall a really great place! Bed was comfortable, the room came with an AWESOME mosquito net, fan and properly working AC and the bathroom is spacious with great shower pressure. The room could be cleaned every day if you wished and we received a bottle of water and toilet paper in the morning. Staff is helpful, and the website is very resourceful regarding anything you could possibly want to know about Don Det. Great location, close to the pier and good restaurants. Finally, our balcony gave us a beautiful view of the river!

Not much, but Wifi was not working very good and there is not breakfast available during low season (though there are plenty options nearby). It is mandatory to pay in advance by card via booking.
The room was clean and big, a/c worked perfect and the bed had mosquito net, very much needed in the island. The balcony was nice, directly heading to the street and river.

A few too many bugs for my liking, but that’s probably just part and parcel for the region. Otherwise comfortable, but not outstanding.
