The view of the river life from your floating room porch every morning and also at sunset is worth the stay. The room is comfortable, beddings and the bed work well for 2-3 in the room. Location is central near the port dock for the ferry bus.

As it is in Lao, some things at the hotel or in the room just don’t work perfectly as they should, but they were addressed and fixed quickly. Staff are great to deal with though and want their customers to go home happy.

Beds were comfortable and a nice toilet and shower. We had free bikes for three days and they were essential for getting around both islands Friendly staff It was advertised as 2* and it was but wasn’t cheap

Breakfast was basic and uninspiring. On the basis of what we saw at breakfast we didn’t eat there in the evening. The pools were not somewhere we would chose to relax. Suggest you head to a ‘beach’. If you are below 30 I suggest you stay on Don Det which is far livelier

Don Khone is the place to be, if you're trying to decide. we almost stayed in Don Det, and I am so glad I spent a bit extra and came here. The village is lovely, the whole island is really nice to bike around, and Sala Done Khone is lovely. The AC works very well, the floating studios are lovely, and the breakfast is great and large. The other meals are also good at the restaurant, or there are plenty of options close by. They provide everything you need and the beds are super comfy! Thanks very much for a lovely stay. We didn't want to leave.

IF the power goes out (thunderstorm or something), don't panic-- it comes back on within an hour or so. It's not unique to here. This has happened once here and a few times elsewhere in Laos for us. I panicked the first night. LOL. It's fine.

We loved the location and the chilled athmosphere. Staff helped us arranging airport transfer and sunset cruise. Food is tasty. We were provided with a spacious and very quiet room.

Facilities weren't too clean, e.g. the pool, the restaurant's toilet. Staff cleaned our room every day but didn't change the towels (we stayed 5 nights). Breakfast was fine, but exactly the same selection for 5 mornings and no soup available.

Good location. We had a studio by the water, the place was clean and spacious. Breakfast was good. The swimming pool was nice too, despite having a greenish color which makes it look "natural"; I guess we aren't used to not having the smell of chlorine in a swimming pool

Expensive for what it is (50usd the night), with an overrated exchange rate if you pay in kip (all hostels do this though...). The tickets to get back to the mainland are also sold 20% more expensive than what was proposed down the road, beware of this.

These islands are paradise and the Sala Done Khone Hotel is the perfect place to stay. Beautiful, very intimate and beautiful pools. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The rooms have some flaws such as the wooden floor raised in some corners or the door that opens by itself if you don't have the latch on, but nothing remarkable that doesn't allow you to fully enjoy this fantastic place :)

Floating studio iron Mekong was lovely with balcony on the water! Great views for sunrise and sunset. Large shower room with good water pressure. Lovely clean swimming pool and gardens. Good varied breakfast. Rented bikes to explore islands. Owner helpful if needed to book trips etc.

Dinner menu at restaurant not very adventurous so ate elsewhere. Tiny inadequate packets of shower gel and shampoo not good.

We stayed in one of the floating studios. It’s on the water with amazing sunsets and moonlight views reflecting off the water. Views r to die for in the deck and from the bed! Everything is clean and the bed is lux. It’s so worth it watching the boats go by while swing on the deck or lying in bed.

Nothing

Fab place to stay.. Good restaurant, helpful staff, nice pool. Good location closer to boat pier and 5-10 minutes walk from bridge. Bikes available to hire. Great base for exploring the islands and waterfalls.

Really lovely, quiet hotel, overlooking the river. The staff were exceptionally lovely - Mr Katai and his wife, and Mr Kai couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful. The heritage room was really nice, if a little dark. The food was fabulous and sitting overlooking the river was wonderful.

Some of the chairs in the restaurant were not very comfortable. The pool was not that great and looked like it needed a clean.
