BAD EXPERIENCE”
DUE TO MY FLIGHT DELAY FROM BANGKOK I LANDED IN HO CHI MINH AROUND 11PM AND THAN I CALL TO SAMPHAM HOMESTAY BUT NO BODY PICK UP THE PHONE SO I HIRED A TAXI AND REACHED THAT PLACE. I WAS RECEIVED BY AN OLD MAN AND WHO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. HE CALLED TO SOMEONE ELSE AND IN THE SYMBOLIC LANGAUGE SAID THAT HE DON'T HAVE ROOM SO HE TOOK ME TO THE 3RD FLOOR AND SHOW ME A BED IN THE DORMITORY. THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLES SLEEPING AND I DON'T HAD ANY OPTION OTHER THAN TO SLEEP AS COULD NOT GO OUT COS THIS PLACE IS IN THE RESISENTIAL AREA AND THE CITY CENTER TOO FAR. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP I PACK UP MY GOODS AND THAN LEFT THE HOSTEL WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING AS THE SAME OLD MAN WAS THERE WHEN I WAS LEAVING. ITS A TOTALLY CHEATING TO ME SO I STRONGLY PROTEST. PLS U CAN CONTACT ME AT ANYTIME IN BANGKOK UPTO 8TH EVENING IN MY MOBILE NUMBER 66973347300 FOR ANY FURTHER INQUIRY IF YOU CONSIDER TO HAVE IF ANY. THANKING YOU PRAMOD K ARYAL

Best homestay we've had!!”
We've never done a review for anywhere before but for Sam's we really feel people should know how lovely his place is. It's a quiet homestay about a 20 minute ride from the city or a couple of buses which is super easy to do and more of an experience. We didn't come to Vietnam to stay in the middle of Ho Chi Minh where it's a little too crazy and truly not much of a cultural experience so Sam's was the perfect place and super chilled. The rooms are all bedrooms in his home and much cleaner and more specious then any hostel you'll stay in, especially for the price you pay, and with good warm showers. His whole family are honestly the nicest people and if you treat them with kindness you won't be let down on your experience here. His mum and wife make the best food, we even got to make our own rice paper rolls (spring rolls). The house is usually quiet throughout the day and you can rent a bike and head out around this time or relax. The local shops and street food are much cheaper than in the city and there's very few tourists around this area so we were given the opportunity to improve on our Vietnamese! We bought a bike off Sam and he offers to fix any faults you may notice at his local mechanic before you head off on your journey and he really wants to help in any kind of way like with directions, touristic places or just any info. Another great thing is that Sam teaches english to the local kids so between 5-7ish they'll be around the house and sitting down with them to speak a bit of english or read a book is a cool experience :) We couldn't thank Sam enough because it's good to have someone to trust especially when you're travelling so we 100% recommend anyone to stay here because we'll definitely be back next time we're down south!!

Best place in Saigon”
I have been staying Ho Chi Minh for 4 months before I found Sampham. Super nice host. Excellent airconditioning and facilities. Chilled vibe. Happy people. Cool kids who learn english here. Best place I have stayed in Vietnam. I will miss Sam and Sampham homestay. I made a great friend.

Great place to enjoy real homestay style”
We were planning to stay only 2 nites & we love the place so much, we end up to stay @ SamPham Home for 7 nites. Although I'm considered as a westerners from the US but I do have few year experiences in Vietnam & do know how to drive a scooter. Sam is the man in the place that willing to assist us along with his parent to take care the whole Homestay. The place it's still relatively new & sure needs few more improvement & feedbacks from customers. To stay here at the SamPham Homestay, one needs to have a mindset of the main purpose to stay in the home of a local family is to learn, to understand, & to experience the true lifestyle of a unique Vietnamese family. In addition, one needs not to expect a service of an 3 + stars hotel but a Bed & Breakfast, family style. I would highly recommend this this SamPham Homestay if one wanted to have a unique experience that rarely available around the world. I can made this statement based on my 20+ years of international travel experiences from far North as Norway, Finland to far South as Australia, New Zealand....

Clean big room, great staff, loved it...!!!”
My best stay in Vietnam...for the price, this is a bargain....the room was very big, and had everything needed....a big fridge with freezer, fan, aircon, big comfortable sofa, tables, a lot of storageplace for clothes and whatever you need to store, room was clean, same with toilet, and really secure. The staff are great, and the first day I stayed there, I get invited down for dinner with the staff. When I say my plane leave 21.35 I didnt have to pay anything extra for very late checkout. Everyone outside when I was walking to some shops are superfriendly, and I didnt meet one person that didnt smile and say hello. It is in District 2, quiet place, away from the hustle, but close enough to the action if you want a night out. This is probably my 10th stay in Vietnam, and this was my absolute favorite place yet....and for the price, I can not see ANY comparison!! I cant find any negatives actually. If you want a cheap place with fully equipped, big clean room, quiet and great staff, this is the place to go....!!!! Thanks to everyone there for a great stay.

Good to rest & enjoy local life; not central”
Our stay at Sapham Homestay was excellent, even though we expected to be in the city centre: This is not the case, as District 2 is a 25-minute (two) bus drive (11.000D) away from the city (until 7PM they leave in Saigon), or a 200.000D taxi ride. Yet, the local life is very nice, we got invited multiple times by locals to have drinks, and the food closeby is excellent. You will enjoy this place if you're looking for rest from the busy centre, but still want access to it. Sam provided to be a very nice & helpful host, as he showed us around parts of the city, and made sure we were comfortable in his place. His mother is an excellent cook and a splendid person as well!

Exceptional”
I stayed 3 nights in dorm of Sam home stay, room is standard, veey simple bed, bathroom, but most important for me was family atmosphere, which you miss during 6 month traveling. Mom is just amazing, always smiling and so warm. Sam is interesting person with big knowledge of hcmc, always give good advice. Also you can participate in English class for kids, which was new experience for me. Homestay located bit far from district 1, but it will take 15-20 min to reach there by bike.

Getting contentment to the mind”
It's all about your personal attitude. Find something to complain about,... you will succeed along with your miserable times in Vietnam . On the other hand, seek & you will find pleasures at this home-stay area of the true Vietnamese simple life after your bustling activities just a few kilometers away in the center of the Saigon City in District 1 such as Bui Vien, Nguyen Hue streets.

Unique experiences”
I'm an seasoned international traveler and have enjoyed plenty of different cultures / environment. The Sam homestead is unique in a sense that his home is a real typical Vietnamese home in a real homey neighborhood. You may walk to the very small neighborhood market to have very expensive real Vietnamese foods. On the other hand, just a short distance away and with in 15 minutes on a 110cc engine scooter, you are in for a real busy upscale & low-scale areas in District 1 through the Saigon Tunnel. So come and experience the uniqueness of Sam's home-stay.

Such a friendly host. ”
Sam and his family were so hospitable and friendly. He hosted us to a real local Vietnamese experience in his home. For giving a few hours of our time teaching local children Sam gave us a free stay, free meal, sorted our SIM cards out, offered his bike to use and showed us local sights, restaurants. A real humble and friendly guy.

Exploring a joy each day”
Just take a slow stroll along the neighborhood streets & into the real local Vietnamese village style market & you will find a few uniqueness this home-stay area has to offer. I do enjoy the major contrast between District 1 & this rural, under developed area ~as of Jul 2017.

Acceptable & can be better...”
When you come to stay at this place you need to have a mind set that it's not a hotel & it has its own personalities of Sam & his family. Its location will be a stand out feature for those looking for quiet & away from the hustling of the city center. There is some improvement can make this place a little better in the area of cleanliness.

Came, stayed & experienced the uniqueness”
Oh yea....the only way to know the real things is to personally experienced it yourself. Just come & stay & discover the uniqueness of the area along with the home itself. This is absolutely neither a hotel nor a true hostel but a real Vietnamese suburban home.
