Otherside Guesthouse

A great escape

What we say:

Otherside Guesthouse is, of course, on the other side of the river from the main part of town. Basic bamboo bungalows share bathroom facilities while new additions have en-suite bathrooms with hot water showers. Inside all bungalows are the same with a fan and one big bed. Otherside's bungalows aren't as clean as the competition next door, but they do get bonus points for the hammock strung between the wooden beams on each bungalow's porch. The on-site restaurant provides a soundtrack of Jack Johnson and other mellow tunes, and is the perfect spot for whiling away a lazy day. Noise levels from the restaurant and nearby bars can be high at night, but otherwise it's a peaceful spot.

Alright

Staying here in a bungalow with private ensuite right on the riverbank. It's not the cleanest place in the world and there are a alot of ants. Really nice with the fan and the hammock on the verandah is nice. It's still quite noisy from party island and the owners aren't the friendliest people in the world. Not too far away from the main town. But all in all, ok.

Very nice

60,000 Kip for a bungalow with ensuite bathroom. Generally clean and nice. Good area for eating and relaxing by the river. Avoid the bungalows nearest to the the reception/restaurant area, as they may be noisy at night. Laundry was a bit patchy.
