Hoalu Ecolodge Homestay

I really like the homey feel in the lodge. And it was very clean. And they upgraded me to a 3-bed shared room for the same price I paid for a bed in a 12-bed shared room.

Probably just the coffee. Their coffee was not strong enough for me.

Loved the pool with the amazing mountains surrounding (although could be cooler) Also loved the location in among the mountains down a dirt road.

Unfortunately the bungalow is not the same as the pictures and I was quite disappointed when I arrived. In my opinion a bungalow is your own little hut style accommodation, and not a room attached to other rooms. Unfortunately when I was there there were no other travellers so there wasn’t a lot of vibe, but the night I left there were loads of backpackers and the whole feeling of the place completely changed!

Nice scene, everything was good. Staff was very friendly.

Only things is aircond not cold n bathroom.

Location. Pristine cleanliness. Mural in bedroom. Best bed on our trip. Beautiful helpful kind staff.

Nothing. I wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Location

The property is nothing like in the pictures and doesn’t offer the facilities they indicated to have. The bedsheets were dirty, the air con only half worked, the pool was very dirty and the bathroom is the worst I’ve ever seen (no clean towels and toiletpaper, the shower didn’t fit). We ended up booking a different hotel and didn’t stay longer than an hour. Still had to pay 850k VND

The staff are great.Friendly. Always ready to help. The pool is a wonderful way to end the day before or after dinner. The breakfast is great and the dinner options good and reasonably priced. There’s always a good variety of drinks in the coolers and the dogs are nice. Air conditioning worked well when needed and there’s fans. The homestay does laundry, will arrange travel, scooters and bicycles available on property.

The rooms have no real windows. We had a big room, a big door with a small patio so not a problem. The rooms are bamboo so you’ll hear what’s going on around you but it’s quite after 10pm

- Great facilities - Owners/Staff always willing to help and chat - Location is close to everything if you take a scooter or bicycle - Close to several other homestays - Family dinner every night encourages people to meet

- Noise is an issue for the private rooms -- Walls block zero sound -- built in groups of two so you will hear everything your neighbour does -- located beside the entrance driveway so anyone coming in at all hours off buses etc... you will hear -- located 10m from the restaurant where people can kareoken until 1030ish. The noise normally wouldn't have bothered us however we were sick for two days so hoped to get rest early.. Unfortunately this was not the case as groups of very young backpackers partied into the night 2 of the 4 nights. Just luck of the draw and Unfortunate placement of the private rooms. If you like want to be social this is a great place.
