    • Stayed 1 night

    Gaps in the walls and flooring so expect bugs, there were ants in the bathroom. Mosquito net had some holes in it.

    Great location, only a few minutes walk from the ferry port and close to main restaurants/bars. Bungalow was peaceful and quiet, and fan worked well with mosquito net available. Bikes available to hire for 25k kip.

    Basic room with mosquito net, the shower sprayed everywhere a bit and there were a few ants. However, the location was perfect right near the pier and easy accessible to walk around either side of the island as well as near lots of shops and restaurants. I loved the balcony with the hammock and spent many relaxing hours on here as it was so peaceful! I definitely recommend this lovely place!

    The place has a really good location it's only a 3 minute walk from the pier that you arrive to, and there are plenty of restaurants only a short walk away. The air con in the room works very well, and there's also a fan. The staff running the property are very nice and can help with sorting any onwards, travel, or renting bicycles.

    We stayed in a bungalow which had a lot of gaps in walls which let in bugs, however we did have a mosquito net which was good. Also had a problem with the water going off one day which was quickly resolved.

    Stayed at this property for 3 nights while in Don Det. This accommodation is in the perfect location, only a few minutes walk from where you get off the boat and is close to loads of restaurants. We rented a bike from the guesthouse for 30,000 kip for the full day and went to neighbouring islands. Staff were really helpful.

    There are some constructions happening right next door which doesn’t make it the calmest place to stay.

    Location right next to the pier, hot water in the shower, desk in the rooms and outdoor seating on the balcony.

    Facilities are very old. There were holes in the wall. I slept with ants in my bed. Mattress very old, not clean and not comfortable. Mosquitos net have holes also. I dont recommand to book the bungalows

    Very close to the pierr. You can rent a bicycle and give your laundry. There is a nice restaurant which I like to eat everyday in front of the guesthouse.

    I was there 4 nights and my room wasn’t cleaned in this time which would have been nice. But honestly I have very little bad things to say, it was lovely

    Felt super luxurious as a backpacker to have my own bungalow with a huge bed and a balcony with a hammock. The location is amazing, just a few minutes walk from the ferry. You can hire bikes here to cycle around the island. Super laid back and lovely.

    Sometimes the water pressure in the bathroom was really low which made it difficult to shower but I think this is common in the area, there were also some gaps around windows/doors which let mosquitos in but nothing too bad!

    Really good location, air con was super efficient & staff were lovely. Great value for money, we ended up extending as we loved don det so much!

    Located on the sunrise side of the island. Very close to the pier, restaurants and bars. Large, clean room with comfortable bed and good pillows. A/C worked great which was definitely needed in the heat. Bicycle rental available.

    The bedsheets had some stains. The bungalows are quite old so don't expect too much luxury

    There was a mosquito net. The hammock in front of your room at the platform is nice!

    Didn't notice anything bad, perhaps the money exchange rate was not that ideal, we couldn't get cambodian riels there.

    Room was very tidy, facilities like hot water and air-con worked well. Location was really nice, not far from the pier and the hotel offered bicycle rental. Don Det has really nice countryside for retreat.

    Lots of bugs, a few big spiders tried to share a night in the room with us and there were constant streams of ants (to be expected, but that didn’t make losing half a pack of Oreos any easier😪)

    It was in great location, about a 3 minute walk from the ferry drop off point (great after a long period traveling). The staff were very friendly and helpful with booking things such as travel and bicycles. The bed was very comfy, the ac was great and so was the shower!

    No free water fill up. Had a mouse at night but I think it was attracted in by the smell of some bread we had bought.

    Had a pleasant enough stay :) The bed was comfortable and the fan worked, although there was no AC. Stayed for two nights. Did the laundry and that seemed to have been done well.

    We did have mice on our roof who stole our soap overnight, as there are openings on the roofs in the bungalows! Other than that very pleasant stay!

    Beds were super comfy and great for a few nights if you are staying on Don Det!
