The room is screened but still, lots and lots of insects, mostly the small flittering kind, made it into my room during the evening despite doors, windows etc being closed. I guess it's hard to avoid but it was kinda surprising.

Very nice place, great scenic location conveniently located near the main port, delicious food.

There are some gaps in the doors so a lot of mosquitos/ geckos got into our room, it would have been great if we had a mosquito net. The guesthouse is right on the pier like I mentioned which sometimes makes it quite noisy.

We had a lovely stay at the Souksan sunset guesthouse. We had a great view facing the sunset and it was so unbelievably beautiful. The room had great air conditioning which was so important as Don Det is so hot. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. The guesthouse is literally at the pier so we didn’t have to walk far from the boat. You can rent bikes to cycle for a very cheap price from the guesthouse.

There were large gaps around the doors, this meant the AC wasn’t that effective and some mosquitoes came in

Beautiful location, with balcony overlooking the Mekong for sunset

Nothing

We loved staying at Sunset Guesthouse for our time on Don Det. It provided a fantastic place to relax and explore the surrounding islands. The room had a fantastic balcony that allowed us to take in the sunset each night. The bed was large and comfortable. We also loved being able to rent bikes and bike all around Don Det and Don Khon. The location is super convenient, right next to the port - which made arriving and departing super easy. There are also plenty of delicious restaurants nearby.

AC full whack doesn’t get very cold, shower pressure wasn’t great.

Location, close to port. Bikes available, helpful owners.

Very nice place with good beds, AC and a shower that does it's job. Location is perfect in my opinion. Views are amazing. Also hosts were so nice and helped with everything from money exchange to booking trips, laundry and bike service. Only minus was the loud boats waking you up in the morning if you sleep for too long.

There was no place in the room for hanging clothes. There are some ant trails outside the room and many of the ants enter the room and bathroom, but luckily most of them leave when they don't find anything to eat.

The room we booked was exactly as pictured and it was clean. Fresh towels and bathroom amenities were provided when needed. There was a hammock in front of our room, which was nice. In the dining area we could get fresh and hot water for drinking and making coffee and tea. The location was great for us, as we could always see the river and it was close to everything on the island. The staff were always very friendly and helpful.

No Place to put your stuff. No shelf, nothing to hang your belongings.

Location is amazing.

The hotel is at a great location on Don Det perfect to explore both ends of the island. The ferry from mainland drops you right outside the hotel which is very convenient! The balcony views and vibes are to die for, definitely the highlight. The owner is friendly and very helpful, he booked us transports at better prices than we saw online/on the street and rented us good bikes that we used to explore the island. The room facilities are basic but do the trick!

The doors dragged on the floor making them hard to open and yet there were still gaps that let ants in. The bathroom whilst functional could use some upkeep given the room cost.

The room was spacious and comfortable with excellent air conditioning. The balcony view was gorgeous and shielded from the sun until the early afternoon.

Perfect place to stay on Don Det for sunset. Loved the chill hammock vibes and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We would stay here again

Only the fact that we have to leave! We'll be back!

I think I found Paradise. This is the most beautiful place ever! Kim and her brother run this gorgeous place, with gardens ful of tropical butterflies, the best sunset views, a decent restaurant with great views, and clean, comfortable rooms, good WiFi.There is a range of options. Ours had air-con, private bathroom, and a hammock on our terrace outside to just laze around in and watch the sunset. Bicycles are for rent. They helped us organise a couple of independent tours we wanted to make, a sunset longtailed boat trip and a trip to the big waterfalls. But most touching of all, it was my birthday during our stay, and when I came back from the sunset trip, Kim was waiting for me with a cake with candles. I nearly cried. It is so touching to meet people that are such warm beautiful human beings. The rooms are super reasonably priced, Don Det and the surrounds are unspoilt and gorgeous, and I can not recommend this place highly enough. The whole island has a laid-back traveller feel. I hope they can maintain this fabulous vibe. Thank you! With LOVE ❤️

Great location right by the ferry terminal with the most amazing sunset views over the river. Very friendly and helpful owners who speak good English. Everything within walking distance.

Nothing! I loved it all and turned my 2 day stay into a week, and I may go back!!

The location couldn't be beat: Right on the very tip of the island with beautiful sunset views, a cooling breeze, and lovely hammocks right outside the rooms and under a big tree for during the day when it was hot. Also has nice gardens, and it's private, and quiet. Xai is delightful as are all the staff. A special note: They provide cold water in a dispenser in the restaurant. It is much appreciated that I did not have to use the plastic bottles provided!!! Thanks Xai and y our family for caring about the environment.!

The shower wasn’t very good. Completely not the fault of the property, but on Friday night there was a really loud party on an island to the north that went on till 6am, so bring earplugs.

The balcony with river view was absolutely beautiful, and we loved sitting out and watching the most amazing sunsets each evening. Staff were very nice and helpful, and the place is right next to the pier so access is easy. Really enjoyed our stay here!

Stayed in January 2025

It was a little noisy because it’s near where all the boats pass by. I think next time I’ll stay somewhere a little further down the island where is is more quite.

Comfortable, beautiful sunset view. The hammocks were perfect. Easy to rent bikes, etc.

A very comfortable room in a beautiful location. The owners are extremely helpful and the view from our balcony was stunning. The on site bike rental is a must plus they offer many more options for day/boat trips etc. this was my second visit to Souksan and third trip to Don Det.

The room and the bathroom are quite small. Lack of shelves and hangers to put clothes

Modest but well maintained and clean guesthouse. Some rooms have hammocks in front and the location has a pretty view. AC works well. The staff speaks English and they're very helpful, the have bicycles for rent and can help booking activities and transport. They also have a restaurant.
