Amazing family. Very friendly. Great home made food.

If you want to enjoy any kind of night life, something in / closer to Phong Nha would probably suit you better - we, however, had no such expectations and appreciated the calm nature of this location. (And Phong Nha is reachable on scooter in about five minutes, so no big deal.)

The hosting family were very welcoming and helpful, from ordering a taxi for us from the airport, cooking us late-ish dinner the evening we arrived (which involved delicious tofu with tomato sauce which made my husband, avid tofu-hater, admit it can taste good), pleasant breakfast, renting us scooters as well as recommending places to see around. The homestay is located in a small village, so there are other buildings nearby, but the "backyard" part offers lovely view of surrounding rice fields, you can sit in a nice gazebo there (where they'll even serve you dinner, if you choose so), and you can enjoy the calm nature vibes... If you dislike frog and cicada sounds though, you might be disappointed, as there's plenty of both in the fields. :-) The acommodation and the location gave us much more authentic vibes than many of Phong Nha acommodation options which seemed rather "touristy" - we loved that it was truly a homestay (as we saw some acommodations during our Vietnam trip calling themselves homestay but being a basically a normal hotel-style airbnb) and it added to our Vietnam experience significantly. We 100% recommend. :-)

Nothing really

Peaceful environment. Kind and accommodating hosts. Most adult staff don’t speak English, but if you can use translation app communication is smooth and professional (Daughter speaks good English). If in doubt where to have lunch must try the roasted chicken they serve. Scooters available on site. They also help arrange tours (even ones which don’t exist on pamphlets). They even extended our stay by few hours for very economical price.

Amazing homestay with a lovely family which look after you on your stay. They helped to organise pick up and drop off. Breakfast was also really good and the views out the back are incredible.

Thank you for all. All was perfect. The kindness of the host, spending time with all the family, and share rare moments in the middle of Rice fields were incredible! The food was so delicious and you can rent a scooter to travel by your own. I really recommand.

Alles was prima!

This homestay has a beautiful location among the rice fields, just a few km from the Phong Nha national park. You can enjoy the peace and quiet here and with a scooter that you can rent from the owner you can quickly reach the village of Phong Nha where there is plenty to do. The family is very helpful and hospitable and you can communicate well with the daughter who speaks good English. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the delicious food (breakfast and dinner were delicious!) and the option to rent a scooter and drive around so you can experience the real life of Vietnam. There are also bicycles for rent and tours and taxis can be arranged. You can enter the national park with a guide. You can book various tours to caves (world famous) and you can do a jungle trek. In short, a great homestay with a very sweet, hospitable family, large clean rooms with a wonderful bed and plenty to do in the area.

Nothing. We were happy with everything.

First and foremost was the lovely family. They were so kind and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The views from our room were incredible. Our room was clean and spacious. We loved the little town and the trip to Paradise Cave and Phong Nha Cave - booked through the Homestay was really worth doing. We absolutely recommend Phong Nha Rice Fields Homestay .

The description said it had a pool. There was no pool.

Staff was very hospitable. We arrived early and they got us right in, and made us lunch. They took us into town after making bus arrangements for us to Hue. Food was very good, rooms very comfortable

The family are amazing. The Mum is a fantastic cook and the baby is so cute. They are all so welcoming and are great people. The room and the place itself is also brilliant with a beautiful view out on to the green rice fields. Fantastic stay- one of the best I’ve had.

The water faucet in the sink in the bathroom didn't work, which was a little annoying. Other than that, nothing

Stunning views, super comfortable bed and a lovely family dinner. We booked our bus to Hoi An via them and they brought us to the busstation the next morning, even bringing us some banh mi for breakfast :)

The property was fantastic with great views of the rice fields in the backyard. We had a comfortable stay, and the family made us feel like part of their family. The host asked to cook dinner for us and join their family for dinner. You’ll have to pay a little extra for dinner, but it was nice having authentic Vietnamese food. Although there’s a bit of language barrier, the hosts use google translate to communicate and could get by. Overall, we had a great time, and enjoyed the stay with other travelers too.

You would need transport if you wanted to eat out.

Beautiful rural location within an easy cycle ride of the village. The family were willing to share their home and meals with us and were very hospitable. They were happy to organise any tours and taxis and nothing was too much trouble.

There would appear to be no restaurants within walking distance, so you'll need to rent a motorbike to eat lunch or generally get around

This lovely family truly adopted us and made sure we had a great time. They were happy to help us organise tours and rent motorbikes. They made a delicious dinner for us every night (at only 100,000 dong each). The room itself was very large with great luxury with a comfy bed and plenty of hot water in the shower.

I was on a 5 day solo motorcycle tour around the central highlands. Phong Nha and the Rice Field Homestay were the highlights of the trip, stunning scenery, location and friendliness of the owners. I had dinner with them the food was fabulous.

We liked everything about it!

The location of the homestay is incredible - situated in the midst of greenery with a view of expansive rice fields. The room is clean, and the beds are comfortable. We slept very well and looked forward to the fantastic view every morning.

This is my favorite place I stayed in Vietnam. The homestay is in a beautiful, peaceful location, a 5 minute motorbike or 10 minute bike ride from Phong Nha town. The family who runs the homestay are the kindest, loveliest people. I feel like I have a family in Vietnam. I had a wonderful time just hanging out with them. They will also help you organize any trekking or cave tours. They also cooked some of the best food I have had in Vietnam. This is also a great way to do sustainable and ethical travel. Your money goes directly to supporting a local family rather than to a hotel or hostel company. Definitely stay here!

We had a great time here. The hosts are very kind and helpful and prepared awesome food for us. The place is really clean and comfortable. With a nice view over rice fields and mountains. There is also a big garden and a terrace. We could rent motorbikes and the hosts booked bus tickets for us and gave us a ride to the station.

Quiet location with an amazing view

Family were amazing. Parents took us by scooter to our bus stop at the end. We had a amazing dinner (best so far 10 days into vietnam) with them and felt very looked after. It is a true experience of staying with a vietnamese family in the country.

hospitality, they helped organise my transport and made delicious home cooked meals

We loved this homestay! It's about a 10 minute bike or scooter ride from the main part of town (not really walking distance unless you are very motivated) situated in a little neighborhood amongst rice fields. There's plenty of outdoor common areas where you can watch the local farmers work the fields which we found fascinating and made us appreciate the work the goes into the food we take for granted. The room was great, clean, and the bed was soft and comfortable. The homestay is run by local family whose teenage daughter speaks perfect English. Breakfast was great and we still are craving the pancakes with honey! Bikes and scooters are rentable, be sure to check your brakes etc before setting out on your adventure. Our highest recommendation! This type of place is a model for how tourism can be sustainable and mutually benefit locals living the the area as well as visitors.
