Reviewed By helenasK7735EN

The resort is located in a beautiful garden at the coffee plantation. The room was perfect cozy, decorated Lao style and facing a water (small lovely pond and a brook) . Staff were caring and attentive. Great food that comes at a very good price and many choices. The hotel offers very good promotion/deals- excellent value for money. A great place to relax and rest.

Xuanmai Garden Resort

Fantastic Host

Reviewed By Mark0545

This is a lovely boutique hotel set in a beautiful garden with a great eating/common area overlooking the garden. It almost felt like you were eating in a tree house. The rooms were lovely and clean. The hostess Ngoc was so incredibly warm and welcoming. Cooking classes are also available here. I would definitely recommend this place.

Tadlo Lodge

cabin in the woods

Reviewed By Dino W

As the sun went down we had to look for a hotel. The Tadlo Lodge looked nice from the street so we went there. Unfortunately the good impression soon faded away: Besides the manager nobody of the staff speaks any English. After a long wait the manager confirmed that they had vacancies (although from the approx. 10 cabins, only 3 were occupied) and one of the mopish employees showed us the cabin which stands in a small forest. The dinner in the hotel's restaurant was okay. On the next day we spotted two very sad-looking elephants chained to trees in the hotel's park. If we knew that they promote elephant riding we would have avoided this place.

Athena Hotel

A comfortable base to enjoy Pakse

Reviewed By Stephen98C

I love the wooden structure. And particularly the dark wood floor. Very elegant, smooth and warm. Spotless. The rooms are spacious and clean. I had a room at the rear, overlooking the pool and very quiet. I imagine those facing the road may be noisy. The staff are very courteous and keep the place very clean. Many little local restaurants nearby. Good for exploration. Easy to run back to the hotel, take a break and then venture out again.

RiverGarden Bungalows

Just AWFUL!

Reviewed By AnthonyNov1992

I am not usually one to complain too much but I really dont know where to begin with this one! To give a little background, I have been travelling through Asia for the past 4 months and not once have I left a place early, until I came here. The bungalow we stayed in was an absolute disgrace. The 'curtains' were nothing more than sheets with huge gaps and holes in them (see pictures) so they may as well not have been there. The front door didn't close at all which at night made me feel uncomfortable to say the least. The bathroom was INFESTED with ants and I am not even exaggerating (again see pictures). The shower had no hot water and leaked. The bed was ok but the mosquito net had holes in in so really what was the point? The owner was never there so in the end gave up trying to complain and left a day early. And finally if you are dropped off by the boat at the Don Det harbour then it's a 5km walk with baggage. Take my advice, spend a little more and I can guarantee you will enjoy Don Det a lot more than I did!

Khao Paeng Guesthouse

Not very clean but a relaxing place to stay

Reviewed By RowenaWilliams1

We weren't too impressed with our stay here. It was very easy to find and the island itself was relaxing but our room desperately needed a clean - the bathroom plug hole was clogged with hair. It was nice to get free water each day but a little maintenance would be good. Staff were not interested in us really which was ok as we didn't really need anything but a shame that they weren't a little more friendly.
