Accommodation in Muang Không

I give this place a 10 because I can’t give it more! I came here for a few days and I ended up staying for almost 3 weeks. This island is magic and the inhabitants are the sweetest persons I have ever met. The place is extremely quiet, right in front of the Mekong river, surrounded by stunning mountains and green peanuts fields. It’s perfect for relax and chill, especially after a few months on the road. Phonphet’s family is extremely welcoming, I have felt at home during my stay here. What I like the most is that everything is authentic and traditional. We’ve always been eating delicious, local and fresh food cooked by Puk, an amazing person and very talented chef! Their food is basically organic as almost every product comes from the island itself or the local markets. It’s a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself into the authentic Laotian culture. For over 3 weeks we have been the one and only foreigners on the island, which made our experience even more special. Every time we were walking around people were screaming at us, inviting us to their house for a snack, asking us to take a picture or simply to say hello. I’ve felt part of a family, everyone on the island has been very very nice and welcoming to me. Last but not least, Phonphet and Puk started an English project right In the backyard of the homestay. Volunteers gets free accomodation in exchange of a couple of hours of English teaching to both kids and teenagers. During my stay I had the opportunity to take part of this project and be an English teacher for the little kids; it was one of the best experience of my life, if you have the chance to stay a bit longer I would highly recommend it. Sometimes the kids are still video calling me to see how I’m doing and to convince me to go back! After all, this homestay has been one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to during my whole 4 months trip in Asia.

Colonial house, beautiful tropical garden, large swimming pool and sunrise from you balcony at the water. Mr Phet was service minded and speaks good English

Location is a stunner. Right on the river, perfect for a relaxing time on Don Kong/Det. Staff were very lovely and have bicycles to rent for cheap which is the perfect way to get around. It was crazy hot when we stayed and the fan didn’t quite cut the mustard, can’t blame them for that though. I would say the bathrooms are basic and can get a little dirty after a few days. This is absolutely passable for the price you pay however!

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

Good location at the riverside, the room is new and clean with Air conditioning, the staff is very friendly and help with everything, they organize tour to explore the island and transport.

The guesthouse is fantastic. Nice to have the rental service offered.

This was the best stay I’ve had while traveling down through Laos from Luang Prabang. Totally recommend it to everyone! Alex and Leymon are super friendly. they even helped arrange a ride to Don Det and were quick to reply to messages before I arrived. Especially, Leymon’s Asian food was amazing, honestly as good as what I’ve had in the actual countries. Can’t wait to try it again! Between meals we played cards, chatted, and hung out with their dogs and cats—such a chill vibe. The room was clean and comfy, with a soft bed, towels, and shampoo. The shower has an open ceiling, so you might notice it when it rains, but it didn’t bother me at all. Loved the whole experience!

We enjoyed our stayed here! The room with fan and private bathroom, there is no hot shower option for this price, there are some A/C room around but we have to pay 25 - 30 dollars more. So we enjoyed to stayed here.

Brand new place with a perfect view, red sunsets over Mekong. Very clean and comfortable room. Restaurants serving good food nearby. Walking distanse to the port. The owner was very sweet and helpful. I missed a small refrigerator (minibar) for drinks and more hooks for hanging clothes. The don't accept cards, cash only! There is no ATM at Don Det.
