Tavendang Guesthouse

WiFi worked Near the nice river/beach Nice restaurant just over the bridge that’s cheap

Tried to scam us with the price of the accommodation Offered us a free lift back to the port and then tried to charge us before we got on - made us walk 30 mins in the heat with our bags Room is incredibly hot and humid - fly net is broken and dirty Cold shower Bugs everywhere Staff wake up around 6 and are sure to let you know about it - very loud and can hear them shouting and cleaning (very disturbing sounds when they wash themselves) Power sockets barely worked had to move around constantly Staff were very rude and mostly concerned about money Food in cafe wasn’t very good value for money

The family is lovely. They are all very welcoming and polite. Their children are really cute.

We loved that the bungalows were at the less busy end of Don Det near the old French bridge. It’s a 2 minute walk to the bridge where you can see epic sunrises and sunsets! You can also access Don Khon very easily from the bridge. Bungalows are very simple but have everything you need for a stay on Don Det. They are very good value and mama has everything you need on offer - bicycle hire, laundry, tuk tuk and restaurant for a convenient breakfast.

There was a small mixup between our laundry and someone else’s so recommend checking your items when you receive them back.

We loved staying in this simple bungalow on the quiet side of Don Det. We rented bikes every day from the owner for 20,000 kip. Laundry is cheap and fast. We thought we would struggle with just a fan but this wasn’t the case at all, especially since it gets quite cool at night.

Nothing

Nobody speaks English, but when it's about money, they will always find a way to let you pay for their expensive and bad food. If you are looking for a place where relax, it's NOT HERE. The family lives close to the bungalow, so this means you will always be woken up by them and their babies screaming and yelling most of the time. At 5am, they are awake starting to do their business, then you have to be awake too. There are no chances to sleep longer. The conditions of the accommodation are poor, and they have never been clean properly for ages. For the toilet, well, be ready to share it with rats. The black things in the pictures are their poop both in bathroom and bedroom floors. Even trying to talk with them about this was useless, or they don't understand or they just pretend not to. See pictures and just give your money to nicer people and better guesthouse.

Mama is wonderful! She is really careful and accommodating. I will miss her! The guesthouse is near the bridge going to Don Khone so you can explore both islands with the bikes you can rent for really cheap in Tavendang. The food they offer is amazing!!! Try the pizza! The family is so sweet and the hammock so nice to lie in. I would definitely recommend. Nice view also! I will come back :)

The room was clean and nice. The bed was comfortable with a mosquito net. The location was good, close to the bridge. The staff was very nice, and they were offering cheap bicycle.

A lot of ants in the bathroom.
