Easily the best run guesthouse I have stayed in. The beds and facilities are great, as is the breakfast. The best part of the place though, are Lin and the rest of the staff who gave me a detailed overview of the region and mapped me out a beautiful three day loop for me to do. The bike was in great condition as well.

Loved this place! Perfect for sorting out your exploration from Cao Bang - tours, scooter rental, information, super friendly staff - the private room is very comfortable and they provide everything you could need - laundry service, great breakfast - would recommend to all!

I’ve spent more than 3 years living and travelling in Vietnam and this is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. Lin, her husband and their staff are very accomodating and knowledgeable about the region and will go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as it can be. There is an area at the front of the hostel where you can hang out and meet other travellers (there’s also beer). They also rent out good quality motorbikes and do tours if you want to do the Cao Bang loop or just explore the area. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay and wish I had more time to stay there longer!

Nothing! Do not hesitate!

Lin, the host, above all! Her English is perfect, so easy to communicate with. She took so much time to help every guest to organise their itinerary and was full of tips. Dinner was delicious! A lot of vegetarian options too. The dorm was spacious and clean and the beds were warm and comfy. Curtains for privacy. The bathroom was also clean with a good hot shower. I rented a bike for 7 days to go from Cao Bang to Ha Giang and it was such good quality. Didn't have a single problem with it, and she was available all along via WhatsApp with tips on route choices, homestays along the way, activity recommendations and of course always checking in I was ok. This was my best experience hands down in all my 45 days in Vietnam.

Lin was such an incredible and kind host! We arrived much earlier than expected off a sleeper bus at 4am and she still woke up and showed us to our beds. We also rented bikes and did the loop up to the waterfall and she was so great and helpful on recommending a route and place to stay along the way. Love this place and such a great team running it! Thank you guys!

We stayed in both the private room and the dorm at Green Riders House, and had a fantastic time during our stay in both! The private room was large and comfortable, with a shared bathroom right outside the door. The dorm was also large with curtains and lights in each bunk, as well as lockable cabinets in the room. We had breakfast at the homestay in the mornings which was delicious. The highlight of this homestay are the hosts - they were so welcoming and helpful. Lin helped us organize our day tour to Ban Gioc waterfalls with all of the other stops along the way, gave us food recommendations, and helped us organize our buses to Ha Giang when we left Cao Bang. It was a great stay for the price, and I would definitely recommend staying here!

Spacious and comfortable room. Very well though with a lot of small touches that really makes a difference. Lin, the owner, is very kind and helpful. We rented a scooter with her and she provided us with a lot of useful advices, rainproof suits and scooter and helmets were in a very good condition.

Stayed here for a total of 3 nights. Owner is really helpful in organising (scooter) trips. Quality of the scooters are really good. Also as a homestay, decent place to spend the night.

Linh and Mike are very friendly and knowledgeable and help make my trip to Cao Bằng fun. They let me test drive different bikes so I could pick my favourite, then helped plan my motorcycle route and book a homestay along the route. The beds are super comfortable too!

Green riders is the perfect base to explore the Cao Bang region. The hospitality and service that Lin and her husband Mike deliver is some of the best you will come across in SE Asia. With great knowledge of the local area you will be well equipped to explore the less trodden area of Cao Bằng. The dorm is spacious, comfortable and fairly priced.

The best thing about Green Riders in the amazing host Lin! She speaks perfect English and is super friendly and interesting to talk with. We rented bikes from her that she made sure we are comfortable driving before leaving. She basically taught me how to drive a scooter! We also got great recommendations for driving the Cao Bang loop and for nearby restaurants. The room was spacious and comfortable and the shared bathroom was clean. One of the best places we stayed in Vietnam!

Lin I love you. Thank you for everything. I stayed just one night, but rented a motorbike for 10 days to explore 3 northern provinces: Cao Bang, Ha Giang and Bac Can. All went very well. Lin was in touch through my whole trip.

Stayed in November 2023

Spotless rooms with all the amenities we needed, flawless motorbike rentals where safety is the number one priority, detailed explanations of the motorbike routes including some hidden gems we otherwise would never have found... I could go on and on, but all of the above things are made possible by Lin and her husband, who are the best hosts we had in Southeast Asia!

Nice and comfortable dorm. Superfriendly and helpful host! Your place to go, when you are with the motorbike in this region.

Nothing. Great value, great service.

Green Riders is the place to go to get a great motorbike and excellent travel information for a ride in the Cao Bang area. Lin and her husband provide all the basic essentials of a guest house. Rooms, dorms, breakfast, dinners and information that will get you to and from Cao Bang. On top of that they can outfit you for whatever motorbike journey you wish to undertake. Incredibly helpful hosts.

This is probably the best place you want to go to if you want to explore the Cao Bang province. The host, Linh, is a caring person; she takes time for you, explains everything you might wanna know, shows you possible routes etc. You can have a motorbike as well. They are all in good shape. The price is fair to explore the whole province. The house itself is very clean. The dorm smells good and the beds are comfortable.

Amazing owner! As soon as I arrived she greeted me with a beer and sat with me. She is awesome and so helpful! Additionally, the rooms and bathrooms are super fresh and clean. Such an amazing place, highly recommended to anyone visiting Cao Bang!

Seriously, nothing

We absolutely LOVED the owners of this place. So much so that we actually took a picture with them before we left and I added it to my Vietnam YouTube video. The wife/owner of the place sat down and talked to us for 2+ hours when we showed up, and it was such amazing conversation. She told us all about her and her husbands (who was also amazing but spoke little English) struggle to start a hostel in their city. She spoke almost better English than me and I'm American born and raised. Me and my buddy sincerely and thoroughly loved the stay and talking with her and would love to visit again. The husband also changed my front brake pads on my xr150 which was a pain in the a$$ to find, so it was amazing. Please please support these amazing people, I truly hope you do.

We had a great time and I would even say the best time since we arrived in Vietnam. Lin speaks perfect English and helped us organize our motorbike's trip around Cao Bang. She gave us very useful tips about where to drive and where to sleep. The motorbike was in great condition and she was available at all time for any question. Once our trip finished we slept in the private room. It was big, and very confortable. They took care of the decoration which give a great vibe to the bedroom. We took the dinner at night and it was so yummy. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it to anybody. Thank you to both of you!!
