Traveller reviews
Nicole “Very good”
31 Mar 2025
What a place to be! This couple made something great on this beautiful island! I enjoyes my three days there. Because it was very hot, I spend the days mostly with swimming and hanging around in my hammock reading pr sleeping. But you can do lots of things at the guesthouse (cookingclasses, meet new people etc) or on the island (discover by motobike, walking etc.). Very recommended to spend a few days there and just enjoying slow life!
Dániel “Beautiful sunset at a friendly family guesthouse”

Amazing location, as this is the only guesthouse on the island. You can rent a scooter and go around the island, while locals are waving at you. The hosts Tanoi and Sander are the kindest, helping our every way possible and made my stay very special and welcoming. In the evening most of the guests have dinner there, when we could chat and I’ve made some good friends. And in the morning I’ve seen one of the most beautiful sunrises from the bungalow on the river, so I can recommend staying here 100%
Richard “Highly recommended if you want to relax and enjoy somewhere beautiful while being encouraged to think about the bigger p”

Tanoi and Sander are the most exceptional hosts. Extremely helpful and thoughtful. They have created a guest house that is extremely relaxing but also thought provoking and politically and economically mindful.
Naomi “Relax on 4000 islands”
20 Feb 2025
Sander and Tanoi are lovely and super helpful. A true Laotian experience off the grid. Food is great and affordable. We wished we stayed longer. Sunrise is astonishing. Just enjoy and relax. Tip: rent a bike in don det and spend at least 3 nights there. Bring some school supplies for children if you can :)
Isobel “Amazing place to stay!”

My favourite place to stay in Laos! Beautiful surroundings, lovely accommodation, comfortable and clean. Fantastic food and conversations shared at a communal table with the best view. The owners are lovely and they are doing so much to help the local community. They are happy to help you with anything and they are great to chat with to learn more about the local life and Laos in general. I really enjoyed my time here and hope to return one day to volunteer at their community projects.

The owners are very helpful and will help you with getting to the island (ferry, etc). The shared bathroom is exceptionally clean, and there is a hot shower. My room was large, and the bed was comfortable. The people staying in the hotel usually eat together in the common area at night. This made it easy to meet people and talk to other guests. The hotel also has hammocks, books, and board games. The island the guest house it on is beautiful and the people are very kind. If you rent a scooter or bike, it is easy to get to the other islands. The food provided by the guesthouse is excellent and fairly priced. Great place to relax, meet other travelers, and enjoy the best of Southern Laos. They also provide cooking classes and fishing. The owner provides free drinking water. Bring your own reusable bottle if you can. Otherwise you can fill your plastic water bottle. I

K “Great rural stay”

If you want to get away from the tourist trail and find genuine Laos village life a few days on don som will be perfect. There are some great walks on the island, there are no roads but well marked paths. As you walk around the island buffalo and cattle will move out of your way. You can see people working in the fields and living a very simple village life. The hut was clean, spacious and the bed very comfortable. You can lie in a hammock and watch the fishermen and listen to the sounds of the river and their boats. It is not commercialised like don det and don khone. you can visit those islands for a day trip with ease. The fishing trip at sunset is highly recommended. The guesthouse has mopeds available for rent. Getting to Riverside guest house is straightforward. If you're coming from pakse, get the mini bus to drop you at ban khinak on route 13, which is a short tuktuk ride to the ferry. The ferry takes you to within a few hundred metres of Riverside guest house. Communication with the hosts is easy through messaging on WhatsApp and booking.com. They kindly organised our departure from the island. Sander, Tanoi and their staff are great hosts! You will feel more like you have been invited to their home than just staying at a guest house. They are really trying to make a difference to the local for the young people on the island, with community projects.

The place is a good value for money. It's nicely decorated and has private bungalows. The owners are friendly.
Clémence “Small Paradise on the Mekong River”
28 Nov 2024
We absolutely loved staying at the Don Som Riverside Guesthouse, best place to stay and eat in the 4000 islands. Our little bungalow was super confortable and the shared bathroom was spacious and always clean. We had the view on the Mekong and we spend a crazy amount of time in the hammocks in front of the bungalow. It's a bit further from the rest of the 4000 islands but definitely worth it, the owners are adorable and will do anything to help you and make your stay an awesome experience. Also the island itself is very pretty and only locals live there so if you looking to get away from touristic places, this is your spot! The food is delicious there, breakfast, mango shake and my favorite: their pad thai. Water is free and they have plenty of activities. We went fishing in the Mekong and rented their scooter to visit the different islands. We would have stayed at least a week there if we could. Highly recommend!!
