Muang Khong hotels & places to stay

Had a great time at Little Eden. It is perfectly located if you are staying in Don Det as it is by the jetty, yet it is a little aside from the main street, making it very private. It was so pleasant to have breakfast over the Mekong, watching the boats going with their everyday life. The breakfast was buffet style and the best I had during my travel in Laos and Cambodia. The pool is very large and perfect to relax after exploring the island. There was always a great atmosphere. The room was simple but just was I needed and the idea is to spend as much time as possible outside! It even had 2 windows over the Mekong, what a treat at this price!

Don Khon is a laid back island where we extended our stay to while away even more nights. We moved to this hotel because it had air conditioning and good wifi (for Laos). While significantly more expensive than our previous accomodation the free breakfast and feeling of security offset the difference considerably. The owner and team here are friendly and helpful. The management team are effective, attentive and efficient especially by Laos standards. We didn't feel the need to complain, but was disappointed that the two times we got our laundary back it was damp and therefore we needed to hang out to dry on our veranda. Only a small thing and not a reflection on the rest of the service. Efficient and polite housekeepers clean and restock your room daily with water and towels (if you need them). We would highly recommend this hotel if you have the budget, it is an excellent option for whiling away lazy days in relative comfort.

We stayed four nights at the Pan's Bungalow and had a really pleasant stay. Our bungalow was clean, well-furnished and air-conditioning was working perfectly. Mosquitoes net was impeccable and bed very comfortable. The strong point of this place was the balcony/terrace where we chilled in our hammock and long-chairs overlooking the Mekong river. It is a really a peaceful and quiet place. WiFi signal very strong and reliable (the best we had in one month in Laos). Breakfast was included and pretty delicious with a choice among four set menus. Juice was fresh, coffee was good and the baguette was excellent. They even accepted to offer us a glass of milk when I was not able to drink any tea or coffee. Staff was nice but we didn't really interact with any members, except upon check-in. Location is perfect, on Don Khon Island, very close to many restaurants. We definitely recommend this lovely place.

We stayed for two nights in this lovely hotel. The owner has very good english and is very happy to help. It was great value for money and the pool was an added bonus. This is a very quiet and peaceful island which suited us but if you are looking for any hustle and bustle or bars etc then it isn't the island for you. Also if you are getting the bus from Pakse then I would recommend specifying that you are staying in Muang Khong. We didn't make this clear enough and ended up being taken to the ferry port for Don Dhet and Don Khone, we then had to pay $15 extra for the minibus to take us back up to where we needed to be. I would recommend taking the boat tour round the 4000 islands which is organised by the hotel. It was a lovely journey and you get to spend time on Don Khone where you can hire bikes and explore the island. including the waterfall which is spectacular. Would definitely like to go back to Don Khong and spend longer there next time.

We count ourselves lucky to have chosen this hotel on Don Khong. Our bus ticket from Pakse included a boat across to the island and it was a very easy walk to this hotel. Mr. Phet meet us warmly and gave a cool drink as we signed in before showing us our room which was very comfortable. He also showed us how to find the swimming pool which is at the neighboring hotel. Breakfast was delicious and served in front of the hotel which was delightful. Mr. Phet is a thoughtful and generous person. He demonstrated this when surprised me with a gift of Dok Champa, Laos’ national flower, in a basket for my room as I had admired them the previous day. The only thing to let me down was the air conditioning unit which was so noisy I had to sleep with ear-plugs, perhaps it is time for them to be upgraded.

This place isn't bad at all. It was clean and did it's job. What I disliked: My biggest problem was the wifi for the 3 days I was there it was almost nonexistent. I had to leave my room to get it to work, and I complained they said they knew and had put in a call to fix it. However after my complaint it was working perfectly and if they knew the wifi was down they should have said something. I would've preferred one of the beachside bungalows for the same price that isn't listed on any booking websites. Pro: Great restaurant and tour office next door!

We stayed here for four nights, and could easily have stayed longer. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, with great river views from the verandah. The food was fantastic. Authentic Laos food. The best we had on our trip, with great flavours. Not made bland to suit 'Western' tastes. The steamed fish in banana leaves is to die for. The service is professional and friendly, and they can help with onward travel. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

One of the best accommodation on the island based on us having explored the entire island on bicycle. Very spacious and clean room fully equipped with working air con and shower facilities. Excellent view of the Mekong river and a good spot to watch sunset. The down stairs Pan's resturant serves good food and they also have one of the better condition island on the island. good location with plenty of F&B outlets surrounding.

I have been traveling around Asia for business and pleasure for just over 40 years. One of the places I always wanted to see was the 4000 Islands region of Laos, just north of the border with Cambodia. For one reason or another I never got around to it until a few days ago., when I left Siem Reap, Cambodia on a new adventure to Dom Det, Laos. Arriving here yesterday, I had as usual reserved a room for myself with Agoda and the deal that made the most sense to me was MrTho's Bungalo with a room with a View of the Mekong (I am a photographer by profession, so the view is necessary). Unfortunately I was given a room without a view across the road (there is a slight view from the balcony, and the room is much more modern then the riverside rooms), but the service from the staff is really excellent, the included breakfast is also quite adequate. Most of all the it is the management and staff that make me feel really comfortable and valued as a client.

We arrived at the guesthouse before 12:00 pm and got our three rooms right away. All rooms had A/C, one no TV. The rooms were spacious enough, the bathrooms clean, hot shower working. Good value for the price in that location, just 100 meters from where you arrive by boat from the left bank of the Mekong River. Included breakfast was quite good with several choices and as much coffee as you like. The young manager running this guesthouse is very helpful and can organize any trip and transfer, charging a reasonable fee. He gave good suggestions what to do/see on the island of Don Khong, and we bought an all-day tour by boat from him, taking us to Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands), the cataracts, and back to the guesthouse at the price of per person, which was good value for the money, even though it did not include the admission fees to both of the cataracts (and per person respectively). He also sold us a ride on the public bus to Pakse from right outside the guesthouse at per person. Locals paid less, but that's the way it is in Laos, nothing to get upset about. The bus ride was definitely a very special experience. Should we visit Don Khong again, we will certainly stay at Pon's River Guesthouse again, even though the rooms could do with a little renovation.

The owner, Pon, was very nice and helpful. Also the staff. The restaurant was also on the Mekong so our view for breakfast and sunset drinks were breathtaking. The hotel even has a small pool with the view of the Mekong. We were able to order special Lao dishes that was on the menu ahead of time and the food was delicious. The only thing we didn't like was the coffee. They do need to serve better coffee for breakfast. Fortunately, we brought our own instant which the staff provided us with pots of hot water.

We had a fantastic time at his great place with first class host Oliva. Everything exceeded our expectations: food, hospitality and location. Pomelo Guesthouse is in a quite village on the far end of the island, litterally at the southes landmark of Laos. For those wo enjoy a relaxed time in a quiet, natural environment this is the place on Don Khon. You're off any parties with plenty of tours in the surronding, inlcuding several waterfalls or dolphin tours (we saw many!). Plenty of things to do or if you just want to chill and enjoy your time - this is the place to be. The bungalow was was clean, surprisingly big with a spatious terrace, offering a stunning view over the Mekong Delta. Food in the restaurant was amongst the best we've had in Laos, feat. a finely selcted menu of freshly cooked dishes. Breakfast includedtraditional Swiss bread and home-made jam - yummy! Oliva was a sensational host, helpful and welcoming which made us feel at home right away.

We really enjoyed our stay at Paradise. The bungalow was spacious and comfortable. The free breakfast was amazing! Big portion of pad Thai and free bread, bowl of fruit and juice - was a great way to start the day! Don’t have many comments in terms of improvement other than our drain clogged a bit and we only had cold water in the room. They have a few dogs there which are lovely however one of them chose to stay outside our room on the balcony (very sweet) except would get into barking fits with the other dogs during the night and woke us up a few times during our stay. Not a big deal, but just letting people know it could happen.

Great place with just two basic rooms in a bungalow directly at the Mekong. There are hammocks and matresses in the garden to relax and enjoy the view. The boat trip with Mike was fantastic! He shows you the real 4000 islands and has much knowledge about the region to share with you. We can also recommend the food in the restaurant which is cooked by his wife Tip, who is also very caring and helpful. Thanks for 3 unforgettable days!

We had an excellent stay at this guesthouse, it has a lovely veranda at the back with tables and chairs which over looks the Mekong, the room was spotless. The staff are very helpful, the lady who runs the guest house even gave us a lift when we had a mis-understanding about the meeting place for a boat trip. There is a lady who I think is the mother of the owner who loves it when you say Samidee (hello) and gives you one of the loveliest smiles ever.

Overall a good place to stay on Don Khon. Very spacious bungalow that had two beds and even a dressing table. Definitely more luxurious than your basic super cheap bungalows. Only major downside is that it's not on the river and doesn't have hammocks. But then it'd be far more expensive. Overall Don Khone is pricier than Don Det and I feel like the southern part of Don Det has better value for money and loys of river view accom. Having said that, I've since stayed in far worse bungalows, so I'd still recommend this. :)

I spent three nights at this guesthouse. There are cobwebs in the corners of the room, the bed sheet is too small for the bed and the housekeeping did a poor job. My trash was never taken out of the room during my stay. I had to complain to get the free water that comes with the room. The location is away from any town and the bike I rented had no working brakes. The room was quiet, had good internet, not hot shower and provided laundry at 10M Kip for one kilo. They have a restaurant long the river across from the hotel. If housekeeping were improved I might recommend it.

This hotel clains to have a restaurant and although there is a dining room laid out with table and chairs with a placard above the door reading 'restaurant' we were told that there was no restaurant/food. This meant that two young women had to walk down a dirt road in the pitch black as there were no street lights to get food in the evening. Not safe at all. Our television was broken and even though we reported it nobody bothered to come and fix it. During our time there we did not see a single other guest however were put in a room with a view of a building site and were woken up at 7am by construction works. We decided to leave a night early as the walk for dinner was just to dangerous and not what we had agreed to pay for however the staff who spoke zero English (which is fine) refused to let us leave early and instead, put us on the phone with someone who very rudely told us we could not leave early. Whilst packing out belongings we were interrupted 3 times by the receptionist handing us a phone with another irrate man shouting at us that we couldn't leave. After all of this, the hotel had the audacity to charge both nights to our card. Do not stay here, there are nicer hotels on the river for half the price, friendlier staff (we booked our coach with them) and actually have a restaurant. Bundavong hotel has absolutely no reason for anyone to stay there.

Easy to find-a straight 2min walk down from the boat drop off. Staff limited understanding re pre booking. English isn't great and Didnt approach us when we arrived. Just left us standing until we approached her. Room was fine although the windows leaked down through the floor tiles during a monsoon as my friends bag was wet the next morning. Geckos in the room Didnt bother us however we had to put repellant on before bed as Mozilla appeared for nowhere! Some of the rooms have mosquito nets so. I wouldn't stay here more than a couple of nights, it's a good place to stay if you like western toilets and private bathrooms!
