"Pros: This homestay was in a quiet, peaceful location on Cat Ba (you take a ferry or speedboat from Got Pier to Cai Vieng Pier then taxi to Tran Chau). It was a short taxi to wherever you needed to go! We had a 'Bungalow with Garden View' for us and our 2 teens - our room was a great size with 2 king beds. The room and bathroom were clean and a great size! Breakfast choice was v simple, but all you need! Great smoothies and juices! The pool is quite small, but great to cool off in if needed. We loved our stay here and Tuyen was amazing at organising everything for us in his cool, calm manner! Nothing is a stress or problem. We changed our minds a bit on things last minute and he sorted it with no worries or problems! We booked a Bioluminescence Plankton boat tour with him and multiple taxis - just be prepared to wait a bit for them or book them ahead of when you need to go! We also decided to book a 'private boat' to cruise Lan Ha & Ha Long Bay ourselves - we didn't want to be on a cruise or tour with other people as we wanted flexibility - we literally spent 4 hours on a v small traditional Vietnamese fishing boat with a fabulous 'Captain' who spoke no English....it was one of the highlights of our trip!!! My son and I hiked Ngu Lam which was amazing - v v hot, but amazing! We loved the foot spa in the evening at Tran Chau too - than you for an incredible 3 days, we loved it!!! Cons: Nothing!" ~Kim

"Cons: Room could have had a little bit more lighting, let the sunlight in a little more. lockers were slightly difficult to access." ~Arora
