The location of the property is just amazing. Wonderful sunset if you’re lucky enough to have good weather. So close to the boats. Noy is super attentive to make your stay comfortable. Rooms are simple but comfortable.

“A great place in Don Det”

The location is fantastic; beautiful all day but starting the day with breakfast on the terrace and finishing it at sunset is wonderful. Andy, the owner, is a great host and took really good care of us.

Location,view ,very good breakfast ,Staff

“Total relax.”

Amazing attention from the owner of hotel, very nice location, near the Mekong river, beautiful sunset, feeling that you are in paradise:)

Andy is very caring, helped us with everything. The hotel is beautiful, there is a sundeck (you can swim!), great terrace with sunset view, hammocks and chairs to chill outside and watch an amazing starry sky in the night. Breakfast is good. And you can rent a bike or tuck-tuck in the hotel

Simple but comfortable hotel with a truly exceptional host. Andy knew all his guests by name and was so helpful in booking our kayaking trip and onward bus travel. There are bikes to borrow to visit the island too. Fabulous sunset bar and great cocktails. Delicious breakfast with eggs made to order, homemade banana bread and fresh local coffee. We had a great stay.

“Nice and peaceful”

Helpful and friendly staff. Thank you Noy, Andy and team. Very good coffee and breakfast. Comfortable big rooms. Swimming in the mekong. Watch nice sunsets. Perfect!

“A perfect stay at Don Det Hotel with an unbeatable riverside location right on the Mekong”

We had a wonderful stay at Don Det Hotel and can highly recommend it. The location is absolutely perfect – right on the riverside, with its own pier, which makes it ideal for boat trips around the islands and along the Mekong. Watching sunsets directly from the riverbank is simply magical. The hotel is surrounded by a beautiful, well-kept garden and has a very calm, relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, a great start to the day. Bikes are available for rent, which is perfect for cycling around the island and exploring Don Det at your own pace. Several good restaurants, cafés, and small shops are all within easy walking distance. A very special thank you goes to Noy and Andy – the warmest and most welcoming hosts we’ve ever met. From the first moment, we felt truly at home. Their kindness, helpful tips, and genuine hospitality made our stay unforgettable. We would definitely come back and warmly recommend this place to anyone visiting the 4,000 Islands.

“Absolutely 100% would recommend”

Perfect location, very near ferry terminal, unobstructed views across the river, close to restaurants/bars and shops but not too close. Breakfast was really good, great selection. Plenty of rest areas e.g. sofas/loungers/hammocks. Great offering of tours/bicycle hire. Top of it all was the hospitality from Andy, Noy and their team. Andy gave us a very useful lowdown of the islands, available tours and arranged our onward travel.

Location, staff, comfortable,

Extremely friendly owner of the hotel, knowing all his guests by their names. The sunsets on the terrace of the hotel are unforgettable experience which we enjoyed with glass of G&T.

My visit to the Don Det Hotel was exceptional, offering a level of welcome and care that is truly rare. While the location offers the relaxed island vibe one expects from Laos, it is the people running this establishment who truly make it a wonderful experience. The defining feature of this hotel is undoubtedly the presence of Andy. From the moment I arrived, his **warmth and approachability** made me feel less like a customer and more like a welcomed guest. Andy possesses a rare ability to connect with travelers, offering genuine conversation and invaluable local advice that significantly enhanced my trip. He is constantly present and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the stay runs smoothly. His dedication creates an atmosphere that is both professional and incredibly personal, making it hard to leave when the trip comes to an end. Complementing Andy’s leadership is a staff team. The service here is marked by a level of attentiveness and care that stands out on the island. * Genuine Kindness: Every interaction is met with a smile, and the staff handles requests with efficiency and grace. * Seamless Operations: Whether ordering food or arranging transport, the staff executes their duties flawlessly, allowing guests to fully relax. A Comfortable Island Retreat Beyond the service, the hotel itself offers a clean and comfortable sanctuary. The combination of the stunning river views makes it the ideal base for exploring Don Det. It is rare to find such a well-run establishment. I cannot recommend the Don Det Hotel highly enough. If you are looking for a place where you will be treated with genuine care and outstanding service, look no further than Andy and his wonderful team.

“Nice place. Helpful but perhaps not the best value for money.”

The property is charming and the view is lovely. Andy and his wife were kind and very helpful with information about buses, transfers and a kayak trip. Their availability was appreciated, and the deluxe rooms are pleasant.

“We loved our stay. Andy and his wife were lovely, and the place was perfect for two days stay in Don”

Everything; location, facilities, and great hospitality

“Grand Hotel At One Time .. still best location for sunset”

The location for sunsets, the breakfast, room was large, clean, and very nice,, Andy the host was very helpful and available, distance from loud music from Don Det but close enough to enjoy bars and restaurants when and if you want.

“Best sunset on the island, great clean rooms, wonderfull staff.”

This hotel and the staff is wonderfull. Rooms are clean and beds sleep great. It’s the best place on the island to see the sunset. Bar opens at 4 PM, till a bit after sunset, so you can watch it while having a drink. Swiss Andy is a very nice person, he is so friendly, tells you everything about the island and knows all the guests by name. Breakfast is great they make pancakes and eggs on request. I loved this place, Don Det is a great island. The hotel is also on walking distance from the boatlanding, 2 minutes walking. You can rent bikes and they have laundry service.

“A wonderful stay on Don Det”

A wonderful hotel on Don Det! The location is perfectly peaceful right by the water, the rooms are clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and the breakfast is fresh and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for relaxation in a beautiful setting

Nice location allowing for sunset views.
