Dokchampa Guesthouse
Guest house
👍 Decent clean room with AC, fan, mosquito net and WiFi for 100000Kip in low season. Bed was very comfortable. Main path out front gets messy when it rains bit that's not the fault of the guesthouse. Only downside is there's lots of kids playing around making a lot of noise, so bring earplugs for n...

One More Bar
Bar
👍👍 Lovely bar on the sunset side of the island, therefor fantastic sunset views.
What sets aside this bar are the multiple homemade drinks (whiskey-ginger ale, baileys, gingerbeer etc), as well as the homemade poutine, but mostly the kind and warm, welcoming owner Ken.
In the bar there are also multipl...

Old French Port
Historical place
😐 Nice destination as you are looping around the island. View is expansive and the kids are cute using the old loading ramp as a slide. The placards detailing the French efforts of navigating the Mekong are very interesting; glad we don't have to take trains anymore to visit. Note that the stairs on t...

Sengthavan 2 Guesthouse
Guest house
👍👍 We ate here numerous times during our stay on Don Det. Great food and decently priced. The views of the sunset were incredible. They have bungolows overlooking the river for 50kkip per night complete with 2 hammocks. However, we couldn't get one because they were always full.

Crazy Mama Piang

Didn’t stay at the bungalows but went to Mama Piang everyday for lunch and or dinner!! Feels like family and we’ll definitely be back o...

Adams Bar and Restaurant
Bar
🫤 I went two days in a row to this place.
The first day I loved it: we met the owner (Adam) who is a super friendly guy!
The food is great! As well the drinks.
The place is beautiful, relaxed and chill. You can spent hours here !!
However the next day I came back and the staff was not very friendly...

The Garden Riverside restaurant
Restaurant
👍👍 This lovely, open restaurant is right by the old bridge on the river. Delicious Lao food: papaya salad, grilled fish, house made sausage and curry with cold Beer Lao!

The Garden Restaurant
Restaurant
👍👍 A great place to have dinner if you want to splurge a little (the dishes are pricier than most other places on the island). The food is really tasty, and the massaman curry in particular is out of the world. There is a nice atmosphere, and the service is very friendly!

Kea's Backpackers Paradise Restaurant & Bar
Restaurant
👍👍 Great family owned bar and restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and perfect location right on the river. They also have bungalows for rent and I stayed here two nights. Kea and his wife are so warm and welcoming and you immediately feel part of the family. Food is also top notch!

Baba Guesthouse
Hotel
😠 Considering other hotels, quality, this guesthouse too much over priced. Very hard to find reception. Wasted much time to find owner with heavy bags when checking in. Not so kind.

Reggae Bar
Bar
👍 An island reggae bar at it's best, but sadly quiet due to CV19 isolation. The music was great ( of course!), barman very welcoming, the Beerlao cold and the food tasty. We enjoyed a lunch and dinner with several Beerlao each time.

Sunset bungalows
Lodging
👍👍 We spent an evening here, enjoying the sunset and some delicious food!
The sunset was stunning, the sitting area is very comfortable and the music they played was not too loud and enjoyable!
Definitely a great spot for the sunset!

Phao Riverview Bungalows
Hotel
👍👍 Mr Phao is probably the best place I have been in Laos yet. Situated approximately 1.5 km from the "city centre" of Don Det, the place is very quiet. For 85 000 kips you get a bungalow with private bathroom. The food is really good - try the potatoes curry ! In addition, you feel at home immediately...

Easy Go Backpackers
Guest house
👍👍 I spent two nights there. The room is quiet cheap, only cost 20k per night. The food is really good, omelette with bacon sandwich and noodle soup are highly recommended.
While the location is quiet off from the pier, about 1.8 km, you can rent a bike from the first restaurant you see when you get o...

Street View Cafe Bar
Bar
😐 After seeing good reviews we were kind of expecting a bit more... The service was unfriendly, the guy we assumed was owner (Australian dude) was pretty grouchy and uncommunicative the day we went even though he was serving. Maybe he was just having a bad day.
The food was fine, quite tasty - we had...

Khon tai Beach
Public beach
👍👍 Honestly, I don't even want to share this place as it is so peaceful and uncorrupted by tourism. Aside from some buffaloes taking a dip, there was no one there. Absolitely stunning view, clear refreshing water, little friendly fish and soft white sand. Great for skinny dipping. ☺️
