Papaya Garden Homestay

It is always a pleasurable experience staying at this very friendly family operated homestay....this was my third time and another thoroughly delightful encounter. Beds have medium soft mattresses (5 out 10 on the hardness scale). Rooms are very clean, well equipped with private bathrooms. Perfectly located in a local, quiet neighbourhood with many good restaurants nearby (plus a Winmart) and within a nice 10-15 minutes walk to the Hoi An ancient city areas.

Clean. Quiet. VERY nice and helpful host family.

Everything was really nice. The pool looks very clean, the rooms were clean and they came in everyday to make the bed and bring new towels. They organized very cheap scooter rentals. They cooked breakfast for us every morning it was delicious (vietnamese food). We could give them our laundry for very little money. The whole family lives there and everyone is so helpful and friendly they even gifted us fresh fruit upon our departure! Would definetly recommend and visit again! Sadly I have no pictures of the room, but they were super clean, there is hot water and comfortable beds.

Over many years (and recently the last 2 years), I've stayed in several different accommodations throughout Hoi An. The Papaya Gardens Homestay is the best so far (comparatively speaking regarding the nightly tariff). It has all the charm and genuine family friendliness of a homestay as well as all the facilities of a boutique hotel. Located in Cam Chau ward, down a quiet, medium-sized alley (car accessible) and an easy chilled walk into the Old Town (via a couple of different routes), with good restaurants and a Winmart located very close by. So its location is perfect. Both of the rooms I stayed in were air-conditioned, very clean and functional, having a comfortable (medium soft) bed, refrigerator, small table & chairs, flatscreen TV, good WiFi signal, a wardrobe, a pedestal fan, and a private bathroom of a decent size. The only two small faults I can mention are that the hot water reservoir is small (so you need to take very short showers...and don't use the rainshower option) and the TV only had a few English channels (not all the Box channels were available). These faults are no inconvenience, so my 5 star rating still applies. The property boasts a lovely, clean swimming pool, an undercover eating area (where the inclusive breakfast occurs), a Cafe (next door), a reception lobby area (with seating) and a covered section at the front for motorbikes. The property is secured at night as they close and lock the gates. The building has three levels of accommodation, but only stairs to access each level. The family that hosts the homestay is truly wonderful and are a pleasure. During my stays, the lady offered me many of her garden grown fruits, a mango smoothie, a local cake, and a lovely Christmas hamper to take when I left. Overall, I had two fantastic experiences and can highly recommend this homestay for soloists, couples, and families.

It's only a small issue, but the hot water reservoir is small, so quick showers are required. A very minute issue is that the TV only has a few of the Box channels. None of these really affected my stay....I came back and stayed again and will do again in a month's time.

Hospitality from the owners.

Fantastic! My breakfast includes Vietnamese traditional food with one very fresh fruit smoothie. This is amazing!

Everything is good, especially the kind owner who provided me with so much help.

We had a lovely and memorable stay at Papaya Garden Homestay. If you stay here you are welcomed by a lovely family which makes you feel at home. The room is nice and clean, the new pool is beautiful and the breakfast is amazing with fresh fruit from the garden! The owners are very helpful and kind, we are definitely going to miss them!! ❤️

We pretty much enjoyed our stay here! Everyone was so kind and willing to help. The breakfast was very delicious and varied every day. Laundry service, bicycle and motorbike rental were available. The price was okay.

All in all it was clean, but in some corners it was quite dusty (on the bed). In the night there was a dog barking on and on- we don’t know which one, but it was hard to sleep.

Amazing property and even more lovely hosts! Had an amazing breakfast every morning and felt very welcomed in! Would definitely recommend. With in good walking distance to the Old Town and motorbikes are available to rent for a good price if you want to go further out. One of the best places we have stayed in Vietnam!

Nothing 😊

Very new and clean. The staff is friendly. My room and bed are comfortable.
