Family hotels and homes 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!

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 :)

A wonderful relaxing quiet stay in this beautiful room with balcony & hammock on the rivers edge and glorious sunset views. A very welcoming and relaxed family run guesthouse and restaurant, food so fresh and delicious! Recommend a slow walk around Don Det taking in the river scenes/locals at work and coffee stops and definitely hiring a bike (available at guesthouse)to explore the neighbouring islands and the waterfalls. Highly recommend this accommodation.

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!

Great view of the river. Especially at sunset in the restaurant with super tasty food. With bike rental and help with booking transportation. One of our top stays during our Southeast Asia trip.

The hamacks and the view of the river and the peacefulness, plus bed was comfortable

The location was great and perfect for a romantic escape. The host was wonderful, always helpful and ready to assist us with anything. The hotel restaurant was also good, with excellent options.
