Ban Dondet, 4,000 thousand Islands, 01000 Don Det, Laos – Excellent location – show map

“The rooms were spacious, clean and so comfortable. There was air con and a fan. They supplied us with a big bottle of water and new toilet paper every day. I would highly recommend staying here!”

“The guesthouse is located in quiet strip of island yet minutes from cosy places to eat and lounge and small markets. I especially liked that the bathroom is large enough that in spite of not having shower curtain,the entire bathroom doesn’t get wet after showering. Also liked that there was a proper bathroom door instead of the louvered doors. Room got cleaned daily, linens and towels changed. Early risers can appreciate the sunrise off to the side. All rooms face the river, the 2 nd floor has better view of river. We got water kettle when asked. Rooms have small fridge. ”

“It was well situated so that we were close to restaurants and the pier. The rooms are large and clean. The owner is very nice and helped us whenever we had a question. This is a very solid choice for a guesthouse.”

“Great size room. Separate terrace owner looking the Mekong. Excellent location just on the edge of the bars and restaurants. The room has air con and fans so up to you which you prefer.”

“Really lovely guest house, just over the road from the river. We had a first floor room which had a spacious balcony with a great view of the river. The room is large and bright with a fridge and bottled water free each day. We were able to check in as soon as we arrived at 11.30am. It is more expensive then other properties in the area but it is a better quality room, not just a wooden room. It is well worth the extra few dollars.”

Upon arrival a small introduction into the activities on the island would have been great.

“Nice room with a good view”

We were there at the end of October which is just before the season starts so the restaurant area was closed which was a shame as the terrace area looked like a nice place to sit. On a couple of mornings the staff were loudly cleaning before 7am. I admire their dedication but it can be a little disturbing.

No breakfast served (although I was aware of this at the time of booking). Rarely anyone at the front desk, despite the guesthouse being virtually full - this didn't inconvenience us, but it seemed a little odd.
Clean room. Excellent mosquito net. Beautiful view from balcony of upstairs rooms.

“Convenient location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights

The guest before me seems to have smoked a lot in the room (despite the no smoking sign) and so the room smelled of cigarettes which ruined my first impressions. I told Baba and he was apologetic and helpful by bringing in fans to air the room and offering room freshener. It is a shame that this was not done prior to my arrival. The mosquito net which had been wrapped up had bugs in it when I first opened it. However, it was cleaned as soon as I requested it.
The location is great for the restaurants, tours and boats. It is particularly good for a solo traveller. There is a tour company next door who I joined for kayaking. This was very handy. Baba is very helpful and the place is kept clean in general. When comparing to other accommodation on Don Det, this does seem to be one of the better ones.

The location just in front of the Mékong with great view on the river and on a "magical" tree. Close to all commodities. Large room and bathroom and lovely terrace. Great welcome of the owner Basile.
