golden hotel dondet

“A nice stay on the riverfront but don’t expect 5 star in Don Det.”

The hotel sat near restaurants, tour booking offices, and was an easy walk from the boat pier. It was on the river, so you could enjoy the sunset and have breakfast each day. The pool was refreshing after a long morning out. Breakfast was reasonable. The staff made us extra pancakes because they had noisy guests the night before and seemed to be trying to make it up to us. Only one staff member spoke English, but they were helpful. We were given fresh towels and water each day. We can’t expect 5‑star service on an island in Laos, so we were comfortable for our stay. The shower head didn’t work properly and the toilet ran out of water in the cistern every morning. The rooms needed a good scrub and a bit of paint to refresh them. One night we wanted to watch TV but it didn’t work, and the staff who came to look at it said it was broken. We had coffee and cups in the room but no kettle, which was odd.

After the room change, we paid more for a bungalow, which was very pleasant. Breakfast was good. When we arrived in the reserved room, it was grimy, the sheets were dirty and there were plenty of lizard droppings on the floor. I asked for clean sheets. The staff shook them with reluctance. We wanted to cancel but it was impossible, so we had to pay for the next tier to get something clean.

“Good place to stay”

The staff are friendly and the swimming pool is very good. Cleanliness needs more effort; for example, the beelines have a lot of dust and the rooms also need a clean to remove dust.

“Séjour don det”

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location was excellent. The pool was great and the sunsets were beautiful. Breakfast was good. The coffee in the room was unusable.

The pool, the view, the location, the bed, and the vegetation were all great, but insects swarmed inside the room, mold covered the walls, the AC blew too hard, the curtains didn’t block anything, breakfast was awful, the staff spoke no English at all in a 4‑star hotel and behaved unprofessionally, the coffee shop existed but had no menu items available, and they were rude and unhelpful.
