What we say:

In a pretty two-storey house with a swirling staircase, Dokkoun has a handful of simple rooms that get above-average scores for cleanliness and comfort. Rooms are big enough to contain up to three beds plus room for your backpack, and all have attached bathrooms with hot water. Fan-cooled rooms have a few pieces of basic furnishings, while air-con rooms also have a TV and selection of English channels courtesy of a satellite dish. The family that runs Dokkoun are good hosts and offer coffee or tea each morning and travel services ranging from motorbike rentals to visas for neighbouring countries.

Good enough for the location

This guesthouse has a great location in the middle of everything, which isn't saying alot because Vang Vieng is small. You can get everywhere on foot. If you're here to party and hit the river this is a great option for a small group or couple. If you are with a family group or want something more romanic, this is not the place for you. Paid 40000 kip for a room, slightly under 5 bucks for a fan room with hot shower and double bed. The beds were not all that comfortable or clean, but you get what you pay for.
