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.

Colonial house, beautiful tropical garden, large swimming pool and sunrise from you balcony at the water. Mr Phet was service minded and speaks good English

Location is a stunner. Right on the river, perfect for a relaxing time on Don Kong/Det. Staff were very lovely and have bicycles to rent for cheap which is the perfect way to get around. It was crazy hot when we stayed and the fan didn’t quite cut the mustard, can’t blame them for that though. I would say the bathrooms are basic and can get a little dirty after a few days. This is absolutely passable for the price you pay however!

One of the best accommodations we had in South East Asia. Beautiful sunset view and quiet area. Don Khone is a quiet and relaxed paradise and this guesthouse was really good. Clean and comfy. The family that owns the place is really gentle and kind, always smiling and ready to give you information. Recommended !!

Great quiet place, friedly owner, directly at the Mekong, special experience at the untouristic island.

The room was spacious, with a mosquito net, private bathroom and amazing view on the Mekong and sunsets that you could enjoy from your patio chairs or you hammock - just make sure you have some protection against mosquitoes around sunset. Restaurant was nice too!

We loved our stay in one of the floating bungalows. A lot of space, amazing view of the river, comfortable bed and a good shower. The staff was very nice and helpful and made sure we had everything we wanted.
