Homestays in Muang Không

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.

Huge room with large balcony overhanging the Mekong River. Lovely helpful lady manager.

This was the best stay I’ve had while traveling down through Laos from Luang Prabang. Totally recommend it to everyone! Alex and Leymon are super friendly. they even helped arrange a ride to Don Det and were quick to reply to messages before I arrived. Especially, Leymon’s Asian food was amazing, honestly as good as what I’ve had in the actual countries. Can’t wait to try it again! Between meals we played cards, chatted, and hung out with their dogs and cats—such a chill vibe. The room was clean and comfy, with a soft bed, towels, and shampoo. The shower has an open ceiling, so you might notice it when it rains, but it didn’t bother me at all. Loved the whole experience!

Amazing stayed! The accommodation location is in sunset side, not far from the pier 5 minutes walk the guest house is far from the motor bike road too so it's more quiet for us, don't looking for luxury we highly recommend

Brand new place with a perfect view, red sunsets over Mekong. Very clean and comfortable room. Restaurants serving good food nearby. Walking distanse to the port. The owner was very sweet and helpful. I missed a small refrigerator (minibar) for drinks and more hooks for hanging clothes. The don't accept cards, cash only! There is no ATM at Don Det.

Great relaxing spot on the water. Accidentally only booked one night - wish I’d booked a second!!!

Great location right on the river. The owner is super nice and helpful.

Location is great, very close to the port and restaurant/ bar area. Comfortable clean room with a mosquito net for the bed. Staff were lovely! Would stay here again. You can book all tours and transfers close by.
