We came here on a recommendation from a friend as their best stay in Vietnam. And we agree. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big noisy cities is this little slice of paradise in the country side. Even if you're not interested in the most amazing caves and natural features in the world, this is also a place... More

We stayed at Phong Nha with our two young children and had a wonderful 3 days that I think we will be talking about for years to come. This is a family run venture, headed up by Australian Ben with the help of some larrikin mates and his Vietnamese wife Bich. From the start, they couldn't have been more helpful... More

I booked a few weeks ahead of time and received lots of detailed information via e-mail (very helpful). All correspondence prior to arrival in Vietnam was wonderful. My Halong Bay trip was cancelled (due to typhoon) and therefore I inquired about coming a day early. No problem as they said they had a private room and would pick me up... More

From the second you check in, you will feel welcomed. We stayed for 3 days but I would have made it a month if I could. This experience is not like all the "other" tourist stuff you'll do. You will relax in a very laid back atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable the view from our balcony was breathtaking.... More

We (2 adults and 1 child) stayed here for 2 nights. We received a lot of information before our booking by email. We arrived by flight from hanoi to dong hoi and arranged an airport pick up. The atmosphere in the hotel is good, the food is nice and the room ( family room) was oke. The trip to the... More

I was wary of travelling solo to what felt like the middle of nowhere - being the only person to get off the train at Dong Hoi and the only guest to arrive that day! The second I arrived I was made to feel instantly welcome. I was immediately invited on one of the day tours; cycling through the national... More

I had the best time at the Farmstay. We stayed for 3 nights in April 2013. The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the place is really laid back. We really really enjoyed the tour of the National Park - and you really do get your 1,000,000VND worth! Everybody else we spoke to was also really enthusiastic about the... More

Friendly staff, good rooms, great food. It might feel a little bit like you're back home from time to time but this can be a welcome, short break from cross-culture overload. The tours & treks they organise are fantastic and managers Ben & Bich are very friendly and helpful. Just wait 'til you see the caves...........Highly recommended.

Don't go to Vietnam without visiting the Phong Nha Farm Stay. Bic and Ben have created the cultural link that Western visitors need to appreciate the real Vietnam. The Farm stay is a haven on the edge of the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park. Escape the chaos of Hanoi and Ho Chi Min City and enjoy village life and... More
