De' Sahom sits on expansive grounds with dual pools, a river, multiple bedrooms, and full kitchen gear. Groups consistently praise the cleanliness, peace, and owner's warmth; families return for the space to play, BBQ, and swim. A few guests note the river's current needs caution and wish for AC in common areas.

Guests consistently return for the calm riverside setting, clean grounds, and family focus; the pool and river draw children reliably. Rooms are basic but tidy, with a well-equipped shared kitchen guests praise. Owner Lan and staff respond promptly to requests. Some maintenance gaps persist: toilet locks fail intermittently, the pool cable was disconnected on at least one visit, and room amenities vary (some lack hangers or in-room fridges). Nearby shops are a 7-8km drive, so bringing food is wise. Fishing, tubing, and nature walks are popular. Groups of 19 have stayed comfortably. Reviewers note the riverside is especially calm on weekdays; the current can be strong during other conditions. This is a back-to-basics retreat, not a resort: expect no TV or AC in rooms, but a dependable communal space and honest, attentive management.
