The guesthouse offers cooking classes where you can learn to prepare delicious Lao food. The highlight was visiting the local market and getting hands-on experience in the kitchen. It was a culinary adventure that left me craving more!

Limited English-speaking staff.

Mind-blowing communication from Sander, endless helpful information about Laos, amazing cooking class with Nangnoi, facilities, location.

Title: A Relaxing Paradise

Who needs other dining options or chicken when you have this remarkable guesthouse? So glad I only had their delicious food to choose from!

don som riverside guesthouse in don som exceeded our expectations in every way. the owner made our stay special by showing us the best sunset spot and taking us fishing on the mekong. the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was peaceful and authentic. highly recommend!

bikes not available at the guesthouse

The owners were super helpful and friendly. The guesthouse is clean and basic, but has a nice view from the hammock. The island is quiet with hardly any tourists, allowing for a peaceful and relaxing stay. You can also organize tours and cooking classes at the guesthouse, and the food is delicious with affordable prices.

Felt very welcome, nothing to complain about.

Chilling in a hammock, beer in hand, Mekong view, and locals fishing - pure bliss! The cooking class was a cultural feast, and the boat trip added a touch of adventure. Oh, and fishing trips and bike rentals were a bonus!

I just loved everything, so no complaints here!

Our stay at Don Som Riverside Guesthouse was exceptional. The remote location added to the charm, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle. The facilities, though basic, were comfortable and clean. The food served was delicious, prepared by the talented chef. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to swim in the Mekong River. Tanoi and Sander, the owners, were welcoming and provided helpful information about the local area and activities. We highly recommend this hidden gem for a true Laos experience. I would highly recommend this hotel for a unique and immersive stay.
