This place was perfect, nothing to dislike.

Absolutely everything. Every person working there is super kind, welcoming and helpful. I extended my stay by 2 nights in Ha Long because it was such a great deal and I had such a relaxing stay! Very clean, super comfy bed, balcony, TV with Netflix!!! One of the nicest stays for me after 1.5 months of travelling in SEA. Thank you! :)

All liked it

very hospitable. I immediately bought a tour of the bay from them and helped me find a bus to Danang. They do everything not for their own benefit, but for the comfort of the client. I am very grateful to them for their help. Comfortable beds, quiet, great shower. convenient location, near the embankment and inexpensive cafes

A little expensive for what you get, the room was very small.

Lovely clean room. Balcony was big and nice, with seating. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Pharmacy and cafés close by.

A bit away from the port, could be better if there is public transportation ,

I will recommend it to my friends if they visit Halong, one of the best hostels ever, with two bathrooms and a Balcony. also, there is a sofa in the middle, big enough for all, also the hostel offers nice food at a good price :) The staff are super helpful, with good English and they helped to book bus tickets, appreciate a lot

It appears that tourism is slowly returning since COVID, and we stayed in the middle of winter, so the whole place is very sleepy. That's exactly what we were looking for so it was great! However, if you want somewhere with more nightlife, perhaps try BBQ hostel 2 on the other side of Ha Long

Jane and her family were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. There are a lot of good food options very close by. The view from the rooftop is amazing. Only a very short walk to get a close look at the beautiful towering limestone islands. You can order breakfast on-site or head off to find your own. If you want to take a look at the extent of the development there in recent years, take a look at the timeline feature on Google Earth.

poor breakfast, the tours offered go to the right places but in a hurry and with really unpleasant staff.

the place is almost new, the room is comfortable, the staff is very kind, they have boat tours available.

The beds like many other backpackers are like sleeping on concrete my only disappointment.

The breakfast was very good for the price 35,000 dong. Two egg sandwiches & fruit.

A little away from the bay.

BBQ hostel was hotel standard. Superb quality for money. I would definitely recommend. The staff were accommodating and friendly and the breakfast was tasty. Our tour to Ha Long bay was organised brilliantly and pick up was on time. Jane was especially helpful with arranging a bus back to Hanoi. Thank you.

Nothing nothing. All was good. From entree to staff to room

Well in advance the lady as me if I could come later than the date I’ve booked. Probably because they were over booked in the room that I got. Since I’m on a tight schedule, this was the only date I could and would like to sleep at bbq hostel. Instead of cancelling. She surprised me with a VIP room which was absolutely stunning. The luxury in that room is that of a multiple star hotel what you would pay a fortune in in any other part of the world. The lady was friendly and they do laundry service . Just got a couple of bucks you get all your clothes back. Clean , dry and folded.

Nothing

Everyone is super helpful. I stayed in a private room and dormitory for 2 extra nights. I love how there is 2 private bathroom in the dormitory for 8 people you don't have to feel rushed.

Location was far away from the main area of HaLong Bay, had to get taxis into the city area.

Very clean, comfortable beds, great value for money, quiet area, helpful staff who did our laundry and booked a transfer to Hanoi for us. Felt very safe as two female travellers.

Nothing, everything was nice.

Perfect location for the Halong Bay excursion, the views near the hostel are amazing! A great museum near too. Staff very friendly and helpful, sweet and nice people that will make your stay easy giving you recommendations, plans, and helping you with whatever you need.

The restaurant/bar was not open but they would still serve an amazing breakfast.

The family that manages the hostel is so friendly and helpful. The dorm was clean and spacious and the two toilets are really convenient.

Amazing beds with a lot of privacy (in the dorm). Super friendly staff. You can get a bicycle for free to explore the city or go to the beach. Really nice area with lots of cafes around.

Lights at the corridor are run by motion sensors and they turn off VERY quickly. Can be a tad scary when the hallways become dark.

Rooms and toilets were clean. Toilet was equipped with a hair dryer, which turned out to be super handy. Room was also spacious enough for us to move about even with our luggage. Host can communicate in good English, which made our planning to Halong Bay so much more convenient and pleasant. She even recommended places to eat in the area, and lent us umbrellas when it was raining. Location wise, it is located very close to the bay! You may take a stroll along the bay in the mornings or late evenings and enjoy the scenery. Just be careful with the road crossing 😅

Nothing not to like!

An outstanding experience! An amazing value for the price. Modern building with an elevator, super clean, comfortable, quiet, perfect neighborhood for restaurants, shops, museums, and the iconic Halong Bay waterfront that goes for several miles. Run by a very responsive manager/owner that arranged a fantastic 6 hour tour of the Bay with lunch and a visit to a very impressive cave for very low price. Very helpful im booking my bus trip to Sa Pa and arranging transport to the station. I couldn't be more pleased and appreciative for all of the assistance I was given. Thank you.
