everything is perfect, ideal venue for journey in Phong Nha + warmly room, nice places with rice field and mountain, great swimming pool + staff awesome and always helpful

lovely location with views over river fields towards mountains. great pool.

nothing

Our host was very helpful throughout our stay, she helped in planning activities as well as transportation to get around Phong Nha. Breakfast alongside the view in the morning was also great. Amazing hospitality.

Peaceful location, just a quick bike ride into town. Staff were extremely attentive and kind. Loved the relaxing music played while laying by the pool…overall a great stay and would highly recommend!

Friendly

perfect location over looking the rice paddy fields, quite spot as off the main roads. room was nice and clean and big. they arranged for us to hire motorbikes for a couple of days.

This was a gorgeous getaway location that also featured as a tour operator central, so ideal for those seeking advice/a tour. The room was very authentic and full of character and breakfast was delicious.

Nothing really.

Very comfortable bed, nice rooms and very helpful host

This homestay is a great option when staying in Phong Nha. The staff are friendly and went out of their way with advice on what to do.

nothing it was great

Location a little out of town but close enough to explore and within beautiful serene rice paddies. Staff were great and very helpful and the free bicycles were great. Sadly food was very average compared to what we have experienced so far, however would recommend phong nha family restaurant for food which is literally at the end of the road.

Accommodation seemed more focussed as a tour operator meaning alot of non guests/guides hanging around pool area, being less appealing and relaxing.

Sy was really helpful in advance of our stay, offering recommendations for tours and arranging a pick up from Dong Hoi train station for an extra fee. Him and his wife were very friendly.

We were staying at Sy’s for a day before doing the two day Hang En Cave trek so we were hoping for somewhere we could relax and enjoy the pool. However, there was quite loud building works taking place all day next to and around the pool area, so we ended up spending the day in our room for somewhere quiet to be. Not really what we had hoped for from our stay and it would have been nice to know in advance. The room was nice and the beds comfy so I think we were just unlucky. The breakfast was good, but I’d suggest eating out in the evening. We had to leave half an hour before breakfast started on our last day to get to Dong Hoi train station and Sy’s wife very kindly offered to provide us fruit and water for breakfast to take with us but unfortunately it wasn’t ready when we left so we didn’t have any breakfast before our 9 hour train journey. Not really a problem but unfortunate.

The beautiful setting, the outdoor space for sitting. Enough space to store your things comfortably. Free bikes. Children running around playing and laughing.

Terrible food. No furniture to sit outside on your own porch. Small, thin towels. Concrete floors. Bikes were a little wobbly and uncared for.

Amazing place to stay, the host Sy was lovely and ever so helpful. She organised our bikes and motorbikes for us and picked us up from the station and dropped us to the bus station. The breakfast had a good selection and was made to a high quality. The room itself was AMAZING, had everything you could need and was very spacious. We found the location to be perfect and had a wonderful time.

There are lots of mosquitos being in a rice field but not anything bug spray can’t fix and the beds had mosquito nets around them, so not much of a problem when sleeping.

The property is located in a beautiful quite area surrounded by rice fields with the Phon Nha - Ke Bang mountains on the horizon. The property is nice, clean, with big rooms and a spacious common patio where to enjoy meals and the view. The owner, Sy, and his wife are wonderful. They helped me to choose and book a tour in Phang Nha - Ke Bang national park. They came to pick me up at the bust station at my arrival and help me to book a taxi to the airport when I left.

We really enjoyed our stay in their homestay. Sy's family is super friendly and helpful with anything you need. The breakfast is super tasty, try the omelette and the pancakes. And the food for lunch or dinner is also very good. It has a nice swimming pool and patio area. The room was very confortable and clean. It is 15 mins walking from the city, in a more calm area surrounded by rice fields, great place to relax. We really recommend this homestay to everyone and we would definitely come back!

Everything was great!

Super nice family hosting us and the room was great. The homestay had a beautiful view of the rice fields and mountains.

Great location with view on the rice fields and mountains! Very helpful and friendly staff, and very clean room. Sy even picked us up at 4am and his wife helped us organise a trip! Overall a great homestay! Would definitely recommend and hopefully return one day!

The place was like a heaven on earth. Away from the crowd and 360 view of rice fields! What else we did on a trip to stay. The staff was very polite and friendly. They have arrange early morning pickup for us at 4am.

Sy and his family are super nice and show great hospitality. They even took us along to a wedding celebaration in the neighborhood, which was an unique experience for us. The room was nice and cozy, definitely a good catch for the price. Make sure you stay long enough. There's a lot to discover in the area (and don't hesitate to ask Sy for recommondations and help).

The room had everything I needed. It looked worth more than the given price. The family that runs this homestay is super nice and helpful. I would gladly stay at this place for another week or two as it was beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, and convenient.

The location was perfect, 5 minute cycle into the town if wanted but benefits from a peaceful location overlooking the rice fields. Sy and his family could not have been more attentive and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The home cooked food is also excellent.

Nothing at all

Mr. Sy is such an amazing host! Super taking care of his guests. We are a family with a 3 yr old and we had troubles with our night bus and he really went out of his way to make sure we get to our bus, for that we are super thankful and we're very much sure if it was a different host, they wouldn't be doing the same. Can't express how much we appreciate you. Rooms were very big, clean and comfortable. It could be chilly in the night but there's an aircondition which we believe that it could also heat. Bathrooms are so huge and there's a nice hot water. Location is just perfect, not too much in the center but enough by bike or even by walk. The bicycles were available to use and they even have a baby sit which was even great. Absolutely a lovely stay and they have a wonderful view of the mountains and a swimming pool. It's perfect for families.

Great location within the rice paddy fields, and an easy bike ride into the town on the free bikes. Quiet and restful with great view of the hills. Excellent service from the husband and wife team (Sy and Huyen). They organise car pickup from Dong Hoi airport even when the plane was 4hrs late. They gave great advice about tours and cave trips and booked them for us. They even organised mopeds for hire with only an hours notice. The food was very good and excellent value. Our family room was huge with large firm but comfortable beds. I would definitely recommend Sky’s home stay as the perfect place to recover from the noise and traffic of the cities.

The hot water was extremely hot but only lasted a few minutes.

Absolutely loved this stay Sy was the best host we have ever had. Very welcoming and helped us with all our needs definitely recommend staying here.
