Description
This recently opened nature retreat has a two-storey main lodge with a restaurant on the top floor, and a very accommodating, English-speaking staff. The Eco rooms are made of wood and thatch -- they have dormered windows, high ceilings, and porches overlooking the wetlands -- bathrooms are shared. The comfort bungalows are really quite good -- great porches with excellent hammocks, glass front walls giving on to views of the marsh, and the rooms are arranged in an open plan with the beds at the centre, and a toilet and shower to each side. The restaurant serves Lao food and pasta in the 15,000 kip to 35,000 kip range, and offers French and Lao wines from 80,000 kip to 200,000 kip. It fills up frequently with tour groups, so advance reservations are highly recommended, especially if you aren't keen on the fall-back options available in the village.

Wonderful experience -

Beautiful lodge on the edge of the wetlands. Stayed here for 2 nights in a eco room. Actually the rooms are half a bungalow with ample, clean shared showers and bathrooms. So it's not really worth taking the much more expensive single bungalows. Great restaurant!
The only drawback to this place is the unpaved road leading to it, about 8 km and very dangerous. We almost had a bad accident, Beware of the huge trucks barreling along the middle of this road- if they don't mow you down, (we were on a motorcycle) they will bathe you in a impenetrable cloud of dust.......

We came on a motorbike from champasak to Ban Khiet Ngong, the last 7 ? kilometer is very difficult and scary road ! We had a small accident there, and our rented bike needed some repair afterwards.We stayed at kingfisher ecolodge in the Dbl fan share b'room for 13US with nice hot european showers and great view from veranda overlooking the wetlands. Restaurant is really good, guys working there supersweet. The next day they brougt us back together with broken motorbike to the main road close to Champasak for free !!! Paul and Jeroen, Amsterdam

A very nice eco-logde.
The (expensive) bungalows are spotless, even so the cheaper rooms with shared clean bathroom. Food is very good and normal priced. There is no other restaurant in the village. The manager is a very kind Italian, married with a charming Lao-wife.
In october, lots of rain, and rain and rain.
