Categories

Cleanliness
8.4
Multiple reviews praise clean, well-maintained floating rooms and gardens ("bien entretenue", "sauber"). A few mentions of insects/aging materials suggest minor maintenance issues but overall cleanliness is good.
Service
8.6
Service is frequently highlighted as friendly and helpful; staff/owner arranged buses, boat transfers and were described as "sympathique" and "impeccable". Strong service perception across reviews.
Location
8.8
Location on the Mekong with river views, terraces and easy cycling access is repeatedly praised (sunsets, tranquillity, riverfront position). This is a key strength mentioned in many reviews.
Room Quality
7.8
Floating studios/rooms are described as basic but comfortable and unique ("floating room", terrace with hammock). Some guests noted hard beds, simple rooms and aging equipment, so room quality is good but not luxurious.
Amenities
7.4
Amenities include pools (several mentions), bike rental and on-site restaurant. Pools are small and lack shade for some guests; two small pools and limited shade lowered this score slightly.
Value for Money
8.2
Standard quality for this hotel tier
Food and Beverage
8.4
Breakfast is repeatedly described as very good and the restaurant receives positive mentions (recommendations for dishes). A minority comment said breakfast could be better, but overall F&B is a positive point.
Overall Experience
8
Many guests describe an unforgettable, relaxing stay (linger along the river, great terraces) though a few strong negatives (one review saying essentially 'everything' was bad, and a warning about booking a boat tour) slightly temper the overall score.

This is pure Bonlinger. You come to linger, dwell, and let time stretch out along the river.
Pros:

This is not luxury — and that’s exactly the point.

Staying in a floating studio on the Mekong, sitting on your deck with your feet in the water and a cold Beerlao in hand, is one of those rare travel experiences you don’t forget. The rooms are basic but comfortable, with good air conditioning and everything you need.

The island itself is flat and perfect for cycling — we hired bikes and spent hours just exploring at our own pace.

Cons:

It was great for our purpose and met our expectations. We didn't use the pools - two small pools were available - it was too hot - temperatures around 40 °C+ the three days we were there.

El Mekong y sus cataratas
Pros:

Habitación casa/flotante sobre el Mekong, Terraza con hamacas sobre el agua ara relajarte viendo pasar las barcas atardeciendo.
Lugar tranquilo para descansar del ajetreo de un viaje por Asia. El personal del hotel facilita el traslado en barca para llegar y salir y las excursiones a los puntos de interés. Se puede ir en bicicleta a casi todos los sitios.
Tiene varias piscinas y el desayuno es bueno al lado del rio.

Cons:

Las piscinas están con pocas sombras

Ruhiger Platz zum Entspannen
Pros:

Ruhig gelegen, ideal zum Entspannen.Das Hotel hat floating bungalows, ein Bungalow mit kleiner Terrasse auf einem Floß im Mekong. Es ist wunderschön, im Liegestuhl auf der Terrasse zu sitzen und den Sonnenuntergang über dem Mekong zu genießen. Das Zimmer ist geräumig und sauber, das Bett ist gut. Das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit. Es gibt Fahrräder zu mieten. Es gibt Bustickets zu kaufen, incl. Boottransfer nach Nakasang, Abholung vom Hotel..
