This experience was wonderful! Phonphet, his family, and the locals are amazing. Very welcoming and friendly. Working hours are exactly how it's described. Three meals a day were nice and they are very accommodating to dietary restrictions. If you are looking to be a part of local Laos living this is for you. There is a lot of down time so bring a book and things to do. Do note to bring enough kip for the entire stay. There are no atms on or near the island.

Had an absolutely wonderful time at the guest house. The family were incredibly friendly & communal dinners were a lovely experience. Their two daughters the guest house & Ema are very playful & a joy to look after. I learnt how to make bricks for a new house they were in the process of making. We were given a papaya salad cooking class and I taught english lessons daily. If it wasn't for my visa expiring I would've extended my stay for at least another week. Would 100% recommend.

My volunteering in the guest house was really nice ! I met a lot of friendly people, foreigners and locals. The host and his family were really cute and gave me a warm welcome. I recommend this peaceful place for people who love nature and calm. 🍃

I had a phenomenal time with Phonephet and the experience I had at his home. I spent 2 weeks there living with the family and volunteers and it was all I could have asked for. It was beyond relaxed, engaging, insightful, and fun. As promoted, there is really only a couple to a few hours of work each day. And the rest of the time is spent relaxing, disconnecting, enjoying unbelievable sunrises and sunsets along the Mekong (some of the best iv ever seen). Being able to spend quality time with a local family living as much of Lao people do was a dream. Sa Sa Kou, and thankyou! I'll be back!

The volunteering was a great experience. Phonphet and his family are very welcoming and the girls are adorable. We where around 6 volunteers and worked for only a few hours a day. In the rest of the you can relax or play with the kids from the village. I had great fun!

This volunteering is perfect for people who want to meet lots of people. The work is easy, if you like raising children, there are also other tasks around the house. The host family is friendly. The lunches are delicious.

Don Nangloy is a beautiful & welcoming island. The locals are extremly friendly and the island has a lot to explore. We got the chance to swim with the kids in the Mekong and immerse English in the afternoon. The daily tasks are easy like watering plants or helping to take care of the kids from Phonephet. In our 7 days stay we were around 11 volunteers and depend on the days 2 to 14 guests. Sometimes it was quite crowded and not so much space for everyone. Also some volunteers had to change several times there sleeping place. The food was delicious and very sufficient.

It was a nice experience. In the morning I picked peanuts with some local people and in the afternoon I played with the children if they were there. The host did not participate with us in these activities. The food was ok but few options and no possibility to choose. I always felt welcomed by everyone. It is a nice way to live, especially if there are other volunteers on the same wavelength as you. The bathrooms are humble and the shower practically non-existent. There are some small shops on the island that sell drinks, packaged snacks. I recommend you bring toilet paper

We spent some wonderful days on the island of Don Nangloy. The place is very beautiful and relaxing, the facilities are very simple but welcoming. In the morning we went to a field to collect peanuts while in the afternoon we played with the children of the island, taught English or any other help was needed. The only flaw concerns the food, not very varied and not in Laotian style.

We had such a lovely week here. We felt truly welcomed into Phonephet's family for the week. The room was cosy, the food was great, and the guest house view every evening was incredible. The work itself was enriching. It was a challenge learning how to take care of Petunia the buffalo but it was such an exciting and unique experience. The local children are all so much fun to spend time with while helping them practise their English. the guest house and Emma especially have a very special place in my heart, it was so sad to say goodbye to them at the end of the week. I really recommend coming here!
