"Pros: Such a lovely time with Rene and Ngan. The TLC taken to ensure their guests have the most relaxing and enjoyable time did not go unnoticed. I love that this is a family run business who respects their newly acquired operations and what it could bring future visitors to the region.
The location of the ecolodge is definitely further outside of the "city center" but after wandering in the city one night looking for some energy (note - there was hardly any!), we were so happy to return back to iced cold beers and a tranquil surrounding. Though the ride to/fro the ecolodge (they were able to assist in arranging a driver so we could imbibe) was a bit steep, it didn't break the bank and we love safety! During the day, we rented scooters from Rene which was super convenient despite the scooters being a bit on the older side of things.
Surprisingly we were not eaten alive by mosquitos or bugs so whatever natural remedies they have in place, keep it up! The pool was a welcome delight after a long day of trekking and riding (be sure to rinse off before you get in for others sake). Wifi was solid for backing up photos and even video calls.
Daily breakfast made to order fueled us plenty for a full action packed days. Aircon and fan in the room fully functional for those summer nights.
I think the most memorable part of our stay was the dinner Ngan and her team made the night we checked in. it was a FEAST so if you're debating on eating dinner at the stay or not, do yourself a favor and plan it for at least one of your nights.
Fantastic stay and would certainly recommend and return.
Cons: I wish they could have taken credit card payments but understand that bed & breakfasts operate with small margins so fees aren't great for a small business." ~Paul
"Pros: The host was great, probably one of the nicest people we’ve encountered in our trip in Vietnam. She cooked for us and helped us book any taxis or tours.
The location is an 8 minute drive to the village but it’s worth to see a different side of Phong-Nha. Bikes are available for free and motorbike for a small fee.
Cons: Nothiiing, we loved it!!! because it is in the middle of countryside be prepared to find bugs and other cute animals (frogs and weird insects)." ~Calm
