Hidden Gem in southern Lao!

We had the most amazing time at the Vera Sunset Homestay. Phonephet and his family are very friendly and the island is perfect for a few days off the beaten path. You can just relax in your hammock all day or explore the rural island and play football with the village kids. The food was very good and fresh. The standard of the bungalows is basic and in line with the price. Definitely one of our highlights in hole SOA and we can't wait to come again!

Authentic, traditional and unforgettable experience

We stumbled upon this place by chance, but it was one of the best things we discovered on our trip through Laos. If you are looking for ways to experience the traditional laotian lifestyle, this is your place to go. We lived in simple bungalows with basic equipment (double bed, table, coat hooks). Just by opening your door, you can look at the Mekong river and in the evening you can see the sunset. If you are up early, you can also see the sunrise on the opposite side. The kitchen with a large table for eating and doing the English classes is in a separate shelter. Also the toilet / shower are in a shared and separate shelter with just basic equipment. Beware that there is only a proper lavatory in the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay here. Phonephet speaks English pretty well and will help you as good as he can when you have any problems (you can ask for a fan or mosquito nets). There is a cute little puppy and Phonephets even cuter daughter Vera strolling around you. You can get 3 meals a day including water refill, coffee / tea and bananas for 9 USD per day. Phook will cook delicious traditional laotian dishes for you. You can take a walk around the island, swim in the Mekong or relax in the hammocks. We also met a bunch of really cool and open-minded guests and volunteers from different countries and had a lot of fun together. At around 4.30 pm some kids from the island come for English class. You can volunteer to teach them to improve their future and you get free accommodation in return, search for the Don Khamao Project. However, we went there as regular guests. Look at Jan‘s post for instructions to get to Don Nangloy, we paid 160.000 for 2 people on the local bus from Pakse to Thapho Port, the ferry cost 30.000 Kip p.P. to Don Nangloy. We had the opportunity to make papaya salad on our own and then of course eat it. Don Nangloy has some temples and small shops for a pepsi or some sweets (but no ATM!).

Le cadre sur une île loin de tout, plongé dans la vie locale une vraie immersion. Un vrai projet du propriétaire avec des volontaires qui aident les villageois Cuisine maison excellente. Très bon rapport qualité prix

Bungalow simple

9 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025

Einzigartige Lage auf einer Flussinsel. Der Vermieter, Herr Ponghpeth war super nett und hat mir viele Tips für die Umgebung und meinen weiteren Trip gegeben. Ich war nur einen Tag da, definitiv zu kurz für diese Idylle. Werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Es gibt alles, was man braucht inkl. tiefem Einblick in das Landleben und die Kultur

Alles bestens. Wer hier Luxus oder Komfort erwartet, für den ist es nichts.
