    No fridge in the room. The bathroom could have done with more of a clean.

    Room was big and spacious. Staff really friendly & very helpful. Felt very homely. Food & drink available. Scooters & bikes available for rent. I would stay again

    What a great stay we had at Hugo’s Homestay! Hugo and his family were so helpful and kind. The room was spacious and clean. Hugo helped us plan our trip whilst we were there and was very kind in picking us up and dropping us to our bus stop with our luggage. Overall, a great stay and would highly recommend!

    As it’s a homestay, the family and kids are there too so it’s not always peaceful (-;

    We could not get any hot water for the shower. It could have been user error. Also, we would have loved to have a tea kettle in the room.

    The family was so friendly. We enjoyed chatting with the children The room was large and clean. The pool was amazing to come back to each day.

    The staff here - especially Hugo and his wife go above and beyond! The nicest nicest people honestly just made my stay here brilliant! I did the tour through the hostel (dark cave) and it was fantastic! Very spacious and clean room with relaxed chilled vibes within the hostel! Highly recommend!

    My stay at Hugo Homestay in Vietnam was outstanding. The family dinner offered a genuine taste of local cuisine and hospitality, making me feel right at home. The rooms were comfortable and nicely maintained, ensuring a restful sleep.What truly set this place apart was the well-kept pool and common area, providing a perfect blend of relaxation and beauty. Hugo Homestay exemplifies great hospitality with its cozy environment and friendly atmosphere.Highly recommend for an authentic and memorable Vietnamese experience!

    Hugo’s is a bit out of the centre of town.

    A lovely, large, light and airy room with balcony looking south over the pool. Hugo has a mixture of dorm and private rooms - all spotlessly clean. A simple breakfast was included; we had the optional home cooked dinner which was delicious, enormous and very good value. Free pick up was a bonus too.

    I have to notice some things I would like to have. 1) Bed curtains. It's nice to have them to change clothes for example especially when there are men in the room and the only bath is occupied. Also when you sleep and someone uses torch into your eyes, you're waken up (and new people checked in at 4am will do that for sure even if they are quiet). I would like to have this level of privacy. They offer you to use your blanket. 2) The area is not in the city centre so it's 20 mins to walk to restaurant with locals prices. For me it's totally fine to be honest but I have to mention. Anyway you can take their bicycle for 2 hours. 3) It's a bit too humid inside. 4) Upd: I think they don't change beddings always after visitors cause the only pink bedsheet welcomed several guests. 5) Upd: The commercial attitude. When my another stay was cancelled suddenly they have me a choice to pay 70% more during Tet or not to get any breakfast. It could be fine but when I tried to come after Tet, trying to be nice and not booking place for 95 so to help them to save up commission fee, they asked me to pay 100 (their neighbors with the same price 95 get after paying commission 75 only). Yes, your place is nice but if you want better price, set it in booking, but don't treat me like that. It ruins impression. I'm sorry to edit my ref and changing rate. 6) Scooters aren't in good condition and they cost 150vnd per day but in the city you can find 100vnd a bit better quality even (the owner tried to convince me it's not possible but I had 3 great riding days from rental shop).

    I spend there 1 week. This is a small property with 3 private rooms and 1 dormitory. You can see how hard they work... for relatively small money! Even there are some points they need to improve it's 10 from 10! Would love to come back... 1) They clean everyday, but change beddings only if you ask them. 2) Breakfast is very nice: eggs and pancakes both are so tasty (I can't say same about coffee but it's not very important). 3) They complimented guests with bananas some days. Also they always give you a huge termoflask with hot water to let you to make tea and coffee for yourself, it's super hospitable... just my heart got melted when I found it refilled waiting for me on the garden table (after the whole day ride is so precious)! They also don't mind if you use their fridge to put something. 4) There is a swimming pool and it's perfectly clean (everyday they care about it), although I never used it, I don't like to swim. For me it was great to have swings and rocking chair and hammock! They invited me to come and use it when I moved to another hostel... amazing! 5) They provide 2 hours of bicycle usage, enough to go out for a lunch and groceries. When there were very few guests, they let me to take it for 4 hours. 6) Children are very friendly and cute, it's nice to see them playing and treat each other with love, they also help their parents... all the family always give you a sincere smile and getting facing with you. 7) Beds are very comfy. The whole place helps you to rest your soul.

    The owners have made what could have been a disastrous trip for us much better (we had a small accident), and we are so grateful for all their help. The room is clean and spacious with a comfy bed and a very hot shower.we had two bed side tables with lamps which is not that common here and makes the stay so much nicer. We borrowed bicycles to go around phong nha which was super handy. They also booked a kayaking tour for us and that was the best day we had in Vietnam so far. Incredible place.

    There is nothing more you could expect from a Homestay. We can really recommend it.

    Great Homestay in Phong Nha in the middle of beautiful nature, still not far from the central street with supermarkets and restaurants. Hugo and his lovely family made as feel welcome and helped us with everything we needed at any time. They offer a small breakfast, family dinners, rent scooters and even help you with booking a bus cheaper than you can find it on any app. Was a very pleasant stay.
