Find hotels near Xuan Dam Village in Cat Ba Island, Vietnam

This place was exactly what we were looking for when going to cat ba. An authentic experience on a homestay that was away from town and relaxing. The location is right next to the woodstock beach house where you can go to socialize with other backpackers, smoke up and party. Many people from there came to cat ba beach house to eat because the food was so cheap and delicious. The host was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. We rented scooters from woodstock and drove around the island seeing some amazing views. The beach here is very soft sand but you cant really swim off it because its very rocky. My only complaint is the showers, they were more like outdoor showers and so had some mold and no hot water. Other than that i would highly reccomend this place for the hippy vibe of the area.

Eco-Lodge Hotel is located at a extremely remote village in Cat Ba Island, which takes 30 minutes by vehicle to get there from Cat Ba Town. However, it will be a special experiences than staying in Town Hotels as Eco Lodge has no direct neighborhood, it is quiet and the view are OK, staffs are friendly too. There are several things need to be considered carefully before choosing Eco Lodge Hotel: 1. Remote Location: At night it is dark and basically there is nothing but fields, it is quite dangerous if you go out. 2. Wrong information from their website First there is no Cooking Class actually, and if you walk from the Gate of Xuan Dam Village, it takes a 40 minutes walk instead of 5 minutes 3. Schedule of Shuttle bus is 9:30am departure from hotel to town, 4:30pm from town to hotel (their website is wrong). Other than that you have to pay 10 USD if you need their services. Schedule of Shuttle bus revive other problem, of course you can pay for taxi (which will be expensive) or rent motorbikes and go back to hotel yourself, but you dont do so, you have to go back to hotel at 4:30pm which will be a boring long night. 4. Food If you have to go back to hotel at 4:30pm, which mean hotel restaurant will be your only dinner option. However the food are relatively expensive and below standard, it will not be a pleasure experiences in their restaurant.
