Don Som Riverside Guesthouse has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Don Som. The accommodation offers room service, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests.

At the hostel all rooms include bed linen and towels.

If you are searching for a lonely place on an Island, this is the right one. The bungalows are in good condition and the bed is comfy. You will have a fen in the room (no AC). The owners are very friendly and the food is very good. Try the Lao Breakfast 03: The fried morning glory with sticky rice was one of the best I ever had. I really highly recommend to stay here if you don't want to go the touristy places like Don Det.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location on the sunset side of the island. Lots of hammocks and chairs for watching the sunset. Great food. Also within easy walking distance of bars and other restaurants. Owners very nice. Bicycle rental available as well as bus tickets. Rooms were clean and comfortable with x 2 fans and mosquito net though we didn’t need it. Windows able to be opened to let breeze through

    The bed was confortable, and once the mosquito net tucled around it and the fan on, I felt good and safe for the night. I also liked that the 7ppl dorm was actually 2 rooms : 1 or 5 ans 1 of 2, in which I was.

    You get what you pay for. It’s cheap so you can’t expect a lot. The rooms were relatively ok for the price but a fan room was just too hot for us. It’s also quite far from the pier .. at least a 45 minute walk however the positive side to that is you’re right next to the opposite island.
