“Difficult location to get to and not good value for money.”
The terrace overlooking the river outside the room is nice. They didn't have any beer in the guesthouse but they did go and buy one for me for a hefty price. I don't have anything else positive to say. It is difficult to get to and the view is lovely everywhere on the island so choose somewhere closer to the village in a more convenient location close to restaurants. Free transport to/from the ferry would make a huge difference.

“Friendly, lovely place to stay in the quieter southern side of Don Det island”
Friendly, clean, good value for money and nice rooms right on the river with hammocks to relax in. The owner was great in arranging trips and onward travel and was really helpful.

“Nice and comfortable”
The room was great - big and comfortable and private bathroom. Nicer veranda to sit and watch the sunrise over the river. Can swim in the river there too. Just a short cycle into Don Det centre and Don Khone

“Perfect!!”
When we arrived at the boathouse, we where welcomed with a big smile. This already felt so good! The bungalow (one of the only two bungalows) is located at the river, so you can lay in your hammock and watch the Mekong. The bungalow is simply furnished but the beds where good and they had a fan. Don’t expect the Hilton when you pay only 10 dollar. ;) Mike and Tip are incredible nice and warm people and we wished we could stay longer. I also would recommend the massage you can get there. The girl who does that is amazing! We really enjoyed our stay and where sad we had to leave!

“Exceptional value”
Beautiful location with a lovely view from the terrace. We could walk into the centre of Don Det or over the bridge to Don Khone. Comfortable beds, clean room. Easy check in and check out, carried out capably by the owners' young daughters. Cold shower only, but wasn't an issue in the hot weather. Western toilet with a bucket flush, again not a problem for us as it was very clean.
