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.

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.

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”

- • 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.

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.

For the price, it would have been nice if breakfast was included. The WiFi wasn’t great
Baba guesthouse was a lovely place to stay in Don Det. It was super clean and in a great location. It was more pricey than other places to stay but was worth it. The balcony looking out onto the river was a lovely bonus!

Doors didn’t fit the door frames totally meaning some insects got inside however it would be impossible not to incur some insects while on the island. This didn’t affect our stay
Balcony in the room was lovely gave a great view for sunrise. Big room, bathroom and came with a mosquito net which is a bonus.
