Overall Ratings & Reviews Sala Done Khone Hotel

Property just emerging from covid. Really not ready, as pool was a sickening green and floating room covered in layers of dirt. For the $$$ it was a poor value.

The resort and area as a whole is just coming back from Covid , and needs some attention to basic repair and maintenance. That being said a lovely local village with amazing friendly people and very chill.

Laos is a magic place and this small resort with two pools on the Mekong River is perfect for your comfortable Villa. The waterfall and zip line water park made out of the natural water spring that flows into the yielding river is a blast of a river adventure and only a short 2.5 Miles from you villa on the Mekong.

I love it here. They have two great pools, one on the river and one across the dirt street where your villa is which is smaller. Laos is as country as it gets, very inexpensive and farmland everywhere. With that said you can get anything you want from bottles of good California, French & Spanish wine to any beer, bread, the best sticky rice on the planet and anything your heart desires in this magical land. This is Laos so if you are expecting nature, a culture that is unlike anything you have experienced, natural farm food & river fish that is excellent in my opinion, however for picky people that need 5 star treatment & freak out over an ant crawling on their precious plate, there might be a problem with this type of person, hence these types of people are missing the point of why you traveled to LAOS in the first place. The Laoasian people are warm, happy, loving, and smiling all the time! The roads are dirt. The waterways are beautiful but sometimes plastic from the tourist world and first world styrofoam remind you of how this beautiful farm land of a country is forever affected by China in the North filling this planet their endless factories of plastics! Laos is the safest place you will visit in your life & this little gem of a resort is a great bang for your buck... the aesthetics, the artwork, the architecture and the overall feeling will make you feel very lazy and relaxed as you plop into the pool.

Stayed in one of the Floating Studios for four night. Right on the Mekong River connected to the bank by a short bridge. Room clean, quiet and air-conditioned with dark curtains and absolutely no bugs. Hardly felt any sways despite the passing river traffic. Breakfast sufficient with nice Laos coffee. Enjoyed sunset right from the balcony. Connecting river boat from Nakasang stops directly at the hotel pier. Staff service excellent. Booked all activities, rides and return transfer through hotel. Walkable distance to other restaurants and old railway bridge. About an hour's walk to Somphamit Falls through rice paddies and Khon Phapheng Falls passing Ban Khone Nua then by the river. Faster if going by bike. Dined in hotel restaurant only once and food is average. Swam in the river right off the hotel. Refreshing despite moderate current. Outdoor swimming pool a delightful plus.

Very nice hotel in a great spot. Quiet, comfortable, nice pool, excellent swimming pool, ok breakfast. Lovely place to get away from it all...

We were given an upgrade on arrival, to a spacious room on the other side of the road from the hotel restaurant and overlooking a small pool. We loved the room and the hotel restaurant must be about the best place on Don Khon from which to watch the sunset - which we did over cocktails (the pina colada was particularly good). Very helpful staff. My one suggestion is that breakfast could be improved.

The hotel with charm, French heritage house highly recommended. Nice ambiance to relax.

We booked two nights, the room was spacious but no frills, the outlook from the front verandah was not pleasant. The breakfast was almost uneatable. The staff were not very helpful. I think there would be better options available on either island.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the Riverside Bungalow. It was lovely to wake up in the morning with the views of the Mekong and also to watch the sunset from our balcony. We have marked the room condition down as it rained heavily one night and the roof leaked, our backpacks, bags and shoes got soaking wet. The breakfast was good, ask for eggs and they will cook you some fresh. We used the pool besides the river bungalows which was very clean. Very relaxing place to stay and a very quiet Island. Would recommend.

Amazing big room great to have a pool

On the river great view staff very friendly restaurant execellent

Les studios flottants constituent une approche très agréable pour apprécier ce lieu d’exception. L’accueil est agréable et discret ; piscine appréciée ; services proposés pour visiter les alentours ( bicyclettes, bateau etc…) done khône est plus reposante que don det

Camera ampia, letti comodi, ambiente con un certo stile, piscina, vasca con pesci, disegni indiani. Gestore gentile e che parla inglese, in Laos tutt'altro che scontato. Di negativo il fatto che il bagno non abbia una porta ma soltanto la tenda e che la luce del bagno arrivi sul letto per mancanza della tenda dove invece servirebbe. La colazione è scadente. L'isola merita, le cascate del Mekong sono bellissime, abbiamo anche visto i pochi delfini superstiti.

Das Frühstück fand ich nicht gut. Lieblos und wenig Auswahl.

Nous avons séjourné 2 nuits dans cet hôtel. A notre arrivée, l'accueil est plutôt sympathique avec le monsieur qui tienr la réception, il nous montre notre bungalow qui est spacieux et nous plaît vraiment, à première vue. Nous sommes allés à la piscine, qui etzit sale. Le soir en me couchant j'ouvre les draps et je trouve une tâche de sang en plein milieu, il est 23h donc nous avons dormi dnas un petit lit à deux car il était hors de question que je dorme dans des draps à la propreté très douteuse... Je commence à faire attention au reste, le sol n'est pas très propre non plus, les toilettes casses... Bref nous commençons à déchanter. Le lendemain matin petit déjeuner, la serveuse est très désagréable et il y a des fourmis dans mes œufs au plat... Dégueulasse. Nous signalons les draps, le monsieur nous dit que tout sera changé. Effectivement mais la chambre est faite par dessus la jambe. Je trouve tout simplement INADMISSIBLE que pour ce prix les dames du resto et des chambres soient si DÉSAGRÉABLE et que ce soit SALE. Bref ne vous faites pas avoir, ni allez pas.

Au bord du fleuve, le top

Bien placé. Personnel sympathique et pro. Terrasse breakfast sur l’eau. Quelques petites améliorations à apporter mais l’ensemble est très convenables. Très bonne table de restaurant

I stayed there for 4 nights, my room was not cleaned once, not even when I asked for it, because there were rat droppings in the room, at night I could not sleep because of the rats running over the roof The whole hotel looks old and dirty , breakfast was poor and the milk was sour, its just not worth the money. For this very high price on the islands its a shame

Leider nur 2 Nächte hier verbracht. Service mit der Zeit netter, aber immer sehr hilfsbereit. Mit Fahrrad (gemietet - benutzbar) die Insel erkundet. Pool und Restaurant danach ein Geschenk. Wir würden hier auch gern längere Zeit sein. Entspannt und bis auf den Hahn am Morgen sehr ruhig.
