Baba Guesthouse

Pleasant balcony overlooking the river. Basic and comfortable room with good air conditioning, brand new mosquito net and small refrigerator. No TV but large windows with spectacular view (second floor). There's an impressive old tree just in front, so we had such a good time just reading outside and watching the scenery. The heater in the bathroom could be better (cold water in December) but all the devices work. Water and toilet paper delivered each morning in front of the door. Don Det is very quiet in the evening, so we slept very well

One of our favourite places. Nice clean and large room, quiet and helpful staff. We liked the location (not far from the dock) and the breakfast terrace with the hammock and sofas. we'd stay in this place, again

With it's location close to the drop-off from the boat it's very convenient. You pay a little bit more but that's als what you get in return. With the fan, airco and clean private bathroom it's perfect. No musquitos in your room because of the airco is a must in this area so i recommend this one

We really enjoyed our stay! Our room was very clean and had a nice view. The best was comfy with a mosquito net. The host was very helpful and friendly. Nice Garden. A good starting point for exploring the islands

We had a first floor room which was soacous, clean, with good shower and balcony which overlooked the Mekong. Sitting watching life on the river was very relaxing and the best view we’ve had. We were able to continue benefitting from the view over breakfast in the clean and fresh seating area next to the river. Before arriving on Don Det people had advised us to have a bungalow. We have had some negative experiences with this type of accommodation and so opted for the guesthouse and so pleased we did particularly when we heard people complaining about water issues, dirty bedding and large spiders in their bungalows. It was well worth spending a little extra for BaBa. Only negative is the bed is very hard like many SEA beds

We stayed here for six nights in May and were very glad we did. There are a handful of rooms in a big solid building overlooking the river, just at the edge of town. It’s a great location - 5 minute walk to anywhere you want to eat or drink, but far enough away that you don’t hear any noise. We met lots of people looking for accomodation with aircon and a roof that doesn’t leak - unlike most of the little bungalows on the island Baba’s ticks both boxes. This is especially important at this time of year where temperatures are at their highest and downpours are common. The room was fantastic with a great shower, heaps of space, big bed and private balcony. The wifi worked well and we didn’t have any problems. Our only suggestion would be to provide filtered water instead of single use plastic drink bottles. We 100% recommend staying at Baba’s

Being a budget backpacking couple we haven’t stayed in many accommodations that aren’t hostels and so decided to treat ourselves to the slightly more expensive Baba guesthouse. We found that the room was very clean with a mosquito net, had a fantastic river view and balcony, and was close enough to all of the bars, restauraunts and tour companies on Don Det for a convenient base. The owner was helpful and attentive, although perhaps could provide more services for the amount charged (e.g. tour bookings or breakfast). Would recommend for couples looking to have a few days to themselves

We loved the private balcony and the river view from the room. The room was clean and comfortable.  Easy walk to/from the boat dock and restaurants. Don Det itself did not wow us but this was our little oasis

Perfect location, really close to everything. Only had breakfast here on our last day (not included in room price) and it was the best breakfast we had on Don Det.

Pros: - very well maintained, super clean - perfect location: walking distance from boats and ‘centre’ of Don Det but very quiet and peaceful - 1st floor rooms offer fabulous Mekong views - good airco and fan - many people write about the hard beds. True, but I slept like an angel - breakfast places just next door - excellent website with great information

Very good and nice guesthouse just outside the crowded center of Don Det. Spacious and clean rooms with nice furniture, great bathroom en kingsize beds, although a bit hard - fot those who love it. Otherwise you simply mention it and staff will try to solve your problem. The riverview, of course, is outstanding
