Noupit Guest House
Don Dhet
Noupit has very solid and secure wooden bungalows, all with shared facilities on a rather pretty stretch of the river. Very popular and understandably so, the restaurant here -- Happy Island -- is a cut above the rest even though it is not on the river. They also have internet and overseas phone... more
Mr Tho's
Don Dhet
Set at the junction of the paths across and around Don Dhet. Mr Tho's has eight bamboo bungalows set right on the water's edge with mid-sized verandas and hammocks. But the book swap here is Mr Tho's biggest asset -- easily the best one in Southern Laos (not that that is saying much). Unfortunately... more
Billees
Don Dhet
Nextdoor to Noupit, Billee's has four thatch bungalows with shared facilities hidden away behind Noupit. Clean and quiet, the bungalows have great river position and are a good choice.... more
Mr Boun Hom
Don Dhet
Mr Boun Hom has half a dozen huts -- some with private bathroom, others with shared facilities -- spread across a fairly large slice of riverfront land. The restaurant is comfortable. Be sure to check out the massive snakeskin on the wall -- they caught it in... more
Mama Thanon (Cafe Laos)
Don Dhet
The talented Mama runs this great little hideaway (previously known as Rasta Cafe) and although the huts are pretty basic thatch affairs, Mama really works her territory -- hectoring passing farangs with calls of, Hey you! BeerLao? snaring more customers than you'd expect -- perhaps something to do... more
Lamphone
Don Dhet
This very popular guesthouse sits amongst stands of bamboo and attracts a good mix of people. A very friendly and relaxed place. Lamphone has free-standing thatch bungalows set on a scenic part of the... more
Mr. Sisavath Restaurant and Guesthouse
By the boat landing, Don Dhet
Not to be confused with the other Mr. Sisavath over on the sunset side, this place only has two rooms to rent, but the restaurant offers internet, and, as the sign says, a Diving board for the brave, Happy meals for the rest. The owner, Mr Vath, does happy boat trips, happy food, runs a happy... more
Vixay
Don Dhet
Just to the south of the main boat landing, Vixay has a mix of bamboo and wooden huts, most of which are, unfortunately tin-roofed. This, combined with the largely shadeless grounds. can create a real wake-and-bake environment. Vixay runs into Khamphong just to the south and there is little to... more
Khamphong Guesthouse
Don Dhet
Khamphong has basic thatch huts which, like Vixay just to the north, have little in the way of shade. Some of their bungalows are the two-in one variety, though they do also have free-standing huts. Not all the huts had hammocks when we... more
Oudomsouk
Don Dhet
This is another basic bamboo spot with a good sized restaurant -- the bungalows here are of the two in one variety, and the family who run it seemed to be... more
King Kong's
Don Dhet
One of the oldest spots on the island, Kong's has two huts -- one standalone, the other a two-in-one job. Well away from the more crowded part of the island, this isn't a bad spot to pick if all you plan on doing is laying in your hammock watching the river slide by. The rooms are particularly... more
Sidae Bungalows
Don Dhet
Another popular but basic option, Sidae doesn't have much shade, but in its favour, has ample hammock space. The 'duplex' bungalow arrangement infringes a bit on privacy, but then, Don Dhet is a friendly kinda... more
Song Chau's
Don Dhet
This handful of bamboo huts are all free-standing affairs, but as with most in the area, essentially no frills. Ample shade helps mitigate the searing, morning... more
Mama Mon and Papa Guesthouse
Don Dhet
Another one of the very basic offerings on the sunrise side. Particularly basic, threadbare offerings squeezed onto a bit of land between the pathway and the river -- it doesn't look overly... more
Phonepasak
Don Dhet
Phonepasak has a handful of very basic two-in-one thatch huts and a couple that are free-standing. Very rickety: there are other better (and more solid options) in the area. There's a restaurant here which sits beside a great old shade... more
