    Can’t think of anything to better it.

    Breakfast was very good and the location is safe, and not far from the centre. Our hosts were very welcoming, friendly and supportive. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and very roomy and relaxed.

    A haven away from the busy-ness!

    I don't know what it is about Vietnam, but the beds do not have thick mattresses, so although we slept ok, it was a bit hard! The balcony was handy for a quick look at what was going on, but not big enough to sit on which was a shame.

    We arrived at Hillside quite early due to our train time and Lisa and Yong were happy for us to check into our room which made such a difference. The room was lovely and although the location is a little tricky to find, it is really a haven within the area and a lovely place to relax. The garden was a lovely spot to sit (though beware mozzies in the evening) and we were made to feel very welcome in their home. Bikes were available to use (though we didn't in the end due to the weather), but that was handy to know. Not really a touristy area, but a good location to be a bit away from things and not too far from the station. Lisa also organised a great value taxi for our drive to the airport - thanks so much :)

    Location away from centre of Hue, living on a hillside among the locals. Lisa and her husband are so friendly welcoming and helpful. They organised a fantastic tour to DMZ and Vinh Loc Tunnels, definitely well worth doing. Lisa's husband (sorry forget his name) cooked tasty breakfast every morning. Everything was just so good.

    Everything was great.

    A lovely, spacious room with a comfortable bed. We had a tasty home-made breakfast each morning. Our hosts Lisa and her husband were outstanding. Lisa was so helpful in organising a driver and guide for our visit to the Vinh Moc tunnels- and even after we left Hillside she texted to see how we enjoyed it. We really appreciated the personal touch and genuine interest shown by this lovely couple. Highly recommended!

    An absolutely amazing room on the top floor with the use of the kitchen, seating area and terrace. A real shame that we only stayed 1 night. Our hosts Lisa and Yong were wonderful and I will definitely stay there again when I'm next in Hue.

    I was not a big fan of the bed as it was a bit too short for me and also a bit too hard.

    The host was amazing and even though I was only able to spend a night I had great conversations with her and she took care of my early breakfast and booked me an early trip to the airport for a good price. The house feels very spacious and homely. It was nice sitting on the balkony in the evening. Its not in walking distance to the center but it is easy to get around by grab.

    Not much really.. location is a bit outside the center but easy to get there by foot or motorbike.

    The family room was big and very nice. Kids got a mattress on the floor, and we got a king-size comfortable bed. Nice balcony and very comfortable areas. Lisa and her husband are super friendly and make you feel welcome. Their home is beautiful, and you feel safe, welcomed, and comfortable in a good place.

    The house is far from the city center (if your idea is to walk there), but with Grab or motorbike it's less than 10 minutes, not a big problem.

    The owners are very close and friendly. We had a problem with the bed the first night and they fixed it in no time. The room is large, beautiful and has a lot of natural light during the day. The breakfast is delicious and so is the organic papaya! The terrace at the entrance is ideal for ending a day of sightseeing. We would love to come back!

    Charming Homestay with Warm Hospitality, Delicious Breakfast.

    I have zero complaints.

    My stay at The Hillside Homestay Hue was a wonderful experience. Lisa and her family were welcoming and accommodating, allowing me to check in early after a long journey on a sleeper train. Lisa's warm hospitality made me feel at home right away. The homemade breakfast she prepared every morning was delicious, and the fresh fruit provided was a refreshing touch. The room at The Hillside Homestay was spacious and comfortable, with a balcony that offered stunning views of the surrounding area. It was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the homestay. The attention to detail in the room was evident, and I felt comfortable with the thoughtful amenities provided. The location of The Hillside Homestay was also ideal, situated on a hillside away from the city's hustle and bustle, yet still within easy reach of Hue's attractions. It provided a serene environment for a tranquil retreat. I highly recommend The Hillside Homestay Hue for its warm hospitality, delicious breakfast, and peaceful location. Thank you, Lisa, for making my stay memorable!

    It‘s a little far from downtown, but since Grab is really cheap and traffic manageable with your own motorbike, we really enjoyed staying in a more quiet area of Hue.

    lovely hosts - Lisa and John really made every effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible. we got a lot of good advice from them for sightseeing, meditation at a nearby temple, and veggie restaurants, they organized a scooter rental, home made Vietnamese breakfast every day (even to ho when we had to leave early for a tour) and a free upgrade as the other room was vacant. Their puppy is super cute! We had a wonderful time here.

    One window in our room had no curtains so the room can get bright in the morning. Also the rooster could sleep a little longer ;)

    We loved our stay here! Finally a really comfortable bed, free water refill, hot shower with high water pressure, AC and the nicest hosts ever. Breakfast was homemade, traditional vietnamese and tasty! They have a cute dog and two cats. I am allergic to cats but had no problems at all because the whole house was very clean. Also, you have to do the vegan cooking class and meditation with Lisa and Yong (one of our favorite memories), available on air bnb.

    Spacious rooms, very clean and the best hosts we could have imagined! Many sights were in walking distance so the location was perfect for us. The breakfast was delicious and they had a puppy which was very cute and playful. We had no issues finding restaurants close by. The environment was very calm and we could sleep so well there, very welcoming if you have been to noisy and crowded places before 😄 We would love to come back! Nicole and Tom

    The only thing I’d say is it would be great if the Rooster would sleep a little longer!!!

    Less than 2 km from the centre of town a family home where you very quickly feel like friends not guests!

    There are some slight disadvantages you may need to consider. - It locates in the outskirt area of Hue, taking about 10 mins to commute to the center by car or bike. - Few shops and restaurants/food places around Yet, it’s close to some major attractions that can save you some time to travel. The best is that you can have a quiet and peaceful staying here without being distracted at night due to karaoke or street noise.

    I had a great weekend staying at this homestay. Plenty of positive points can be listed are: - Supper friendly and supportive hosts - Well-equipped, clean and comfy room - Motorbike renting service is available with fair price - No curfew, you can come back any time you want

    Nothing at all

    We took the bus from Phu Bai airport and they drop us just around 400m away from the homestay. The owner helps us book the taxi on our way back with cheaper price than normal taxi and grab. They value your private and willing to help all the time. The home is surprisingly quiet and they have cats :D (big bonus) We have trouble hiring motorbike (it's National holiday) and they are so thoughtful to keep 1 for us before hand. Definitely stay here next time in Hue.
