Phongnha Rice Field Homestay is your home away from home The family which runs this place is is such an amazing host. Very kind and helpful Amazing place to stay if you are looking for a quiet place with beautiful landscape and paddy fields The rooms are very clean and comfortable and well maintained. Delicious breakfast We also had dinner with the family who cooked the local meal for us Hang managed the whole thing so well and went out of her way to make us feel comfortable during our stay and speaks very good English We loved our stay here and will surely plan to go again Highly recommend this Homestay

It was truly one of the top stays we've had on our whole Vietnam trip, 100% recommend! The room was really clean and spacious, as was the bathroom. You can eat traditional vietnamese dinner with the family for a really fair price (don't remember the exact price though), and rent a motorbike for 150k for 2 days. If you want to do laundry you can, there's small shop in front that the family runs where you can get snacks if you want. All at an affordable price :) Location was superb, they have a portch right next to the rice fields where you can enjoy a beer in the evening! The surrounding area we discovered by scooter which we enjoyed a lot. Transfer from the train station was good, you can take the bus for 80k from Dong Hoi to Phong Nha or you can take a taxi directly from Dong Hoi for 500k. The family is incredibly nice and welcoming, they have a daughter who speaks great English so communication is not a problem at all. We enjoyed our time there a lot, so I really can not recommend this place enough! Thanks again :)

The homestay was lovely and clean, the rooms were so spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Views were amazing, and the family who run it were incredibly sweet. The owners made us delicious noodles for breakfast, and came to pick us up from our drop off location at 5am. They also arranged our onward travel, and did some laundry for us in less than 24hrs. We only had a quick stop here so we didn’t get to see as much as we wanted to, but if you wanted to see the caves you can book a tour through the homestay. There’s a coffee shop and small shop on site, and you can rent a motorbike for 150k a day. Overall a lovely stay with lovely people!

If you aren’t comfortable driving a motorbike/scooter it might not be the best for you as it is out of Phong Nha center and you do need a bike to get back (no pavement on main road to walk there). Also just a small thing which is to be expected, but a cockerel will wake you up early in the morning😂 all part of the experience!

Great place to stay! The family is wonderful and the views from the home stay are great. The rooms were big and clean.

Everything. Amazing hosts, who are extremely helpful and friendly. Room was clean, nestled along the rice fields, the location is great for people who enjoys a quiet setting. Love the home-cooked meals too. Thank you for taking care of me so well :)

Great staff very very helpful help this book everything we needed picked us up from the bus station to their home. Had a wonderful food and we're very helpful with everything amazing amazing experience completely recommend booking this homestay if you are coming to this area.

We loved everything about this homestay. The location is beautiful, the room is in great condition and the family are so lovely. They cooked us some wonderful meals and also arranged motorbikes for us. It was the highlight of our trip and a chance to see real rural Vietnam 😊

Amazingly friendly owner. Good food and real value for money

Very nice people and English speaking daughter. They were keen to make us happy and kept bringing us food. Also organized a kettle and taxis for us. A lovely setting beside the ricefields and hills.

Occasional noisy visitors. It is a homestay so can't complain.

route to property was beautiful and is our Favorite. the paddy fields are worth viewing when it’s green (season dependent) . we were given a room different to what was booked and we were disappointed. upon asking multiple times, the host agreed to discount one night from our booking.

this is huge list 1) we stayed for 3 nights and we did not get what we ordered for during breakfast. I ordered for banana Nutella pan cake and all I got was pancake with bananas ( no Nutella or chocolate syrup or even honey despite confirming before ordering) I was given sugar instead. there is huge language barrier and believe me it’s difficult to put your point straight 2) we got a different room than we booked. the temporary room did not have ac or we were given comforters as it was cold in December. upon showing disappointment multiple times they agreed to waive off. but we had to have uncomfortable time for 3 hours . we got moved to the original room we booked after 8-9 hours after standard check in time 3) 2 wheeler rent which they gave was not of good quality. we were on our way back from paradise cave and the route is full of mountains with no street lights and ghats on both sides. the bikes battery suddenly turned off and in pitch dark road we had to struggle a lot . the bike started after trying for 15 min but after we reached the town it stopped permanently. the homestay owner came and picked up up. 4) overall the hosts were not bad people but they just do not know the value of customer experience that equates with the money that they are collecting for each room. 5) we had to depend on the hosts daughter to communicate anything in English which was a major pain. she is too young to deal with a customer in a matured way. 6) most of the amenities written in the hotel description are not present. no iron box, no kettle, etc. Room was very basic. with above list of cons I had, I would still say the tone of conversations between me and host were warm and they talked to me nicely throughout. it’s just that you cannot fall for it when they are so many uncomfortable things to deal with. we are tourists after all and have limited time in country. customer experience matters.

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.

Secluded location in a peaceful quiet area. Excellent if you want to be alone and experience Vietnamese culture. Everything you need is provided. Host family is very accommodating. Food is excellent. Views are breathtaking.

family is very kind, please is quite cute and has a nice ambience

The family here at Phong Nha Rice Field Homestay couldn’t do more the assist us with anything we needed. They genuinely care that their guests have a positive experience. And the view is amazing. It’s a great breathe of fresh air if you’re grinding through the tourist trail.

The host family made this stay truly special. The setting is also beautiful and it's a better option than staying in the main area of town (the town isn't as pretty).

Zero complaints :)
