Guest Reviews
- jamie (9/5): - Very friendly staff and everything I needed for my stay..
Food was great and just a all round good vibe in general The beach opposite has plastic washed up but between a few people they're trying to keep on too of it with beach clean gathering with a bbq
- Dağhan (9/5): -
- Petra (5/5): - Das Hotel war sehr schön wenn auch manchmal etwas laut. Einige kleinere Bauarbeiten haben die Ruhe gestört. Die Hotelleitung hatte diverse Angebote gemacht um sich zu beschäftigen ( Malen, Joga oder Movies am Abend) Das hat uns sehr gefallen.Direkt am Hotel war die Bushaltestelle nach Cat Ba, dort war auch ein öffentlicher Strand der sehr sauber ist. Per Taxi 150000. Der Strand war leider eine einzige Katastrophe. Überall nur Müll. Da half auch das Angebot " trash for Beer" leider nicht. Aber auch hier hat man den durchaus guten Ansatz sehen können.
- BcJ (10/5): - Sauber. Sehr freundlich. Aktivitäten am Abend (Quiz, Filmabend). Pool super für die Kinder.
- Logan (7/5): - The property was in a great location next to the beach with great views. The staff were friendly and the accomodation was good value for money The AC seemed to work intermittently in the room and the front door didn’t seem to lock properly which was concerning when going to bed
- Célia (8/5): Relaxing days, good food, and no stress - Great atmosphere, very attentive staff, highly dinamic, with a strong vision for the business The beach could have been cleaner, but wasn t their fault, in fact they actively promote several clean up iniciatives
- Penny (8/5): Short but pleasant place - Close to sea
- Ali (10/5): Good vibes, nice people - Good vibes and nice people. Kevin was so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend to go there. The beach near to the hostel was not so clean as I was hoping.
- Bảo (8/5): - Nice place, kind people and wonderful services. Will comeback in the future^^
- Van Hoang (8/5): -
- Larry and Mel (10/5): Cat Ba Island - Delightful location outside of the noise of Cat Ba village. Clean rooms and delightful staff brought it all together. The The beach, while not the cleanest, was just across the street. Scooter rents on premise at 150k/day. Fun exploring the island and the parks. Highly recommend the Lon Ha boats. Tours can be organized onsite. Go now. Cat Ba village is changing fast with an amazing number of new, cookie cutter, units going up. The island otherwise is very relaxed.
- Anne (6/5): - The food was pretty good. It was across the street from a beach but due to weather it wasn't great for swimming The pool was unusable - I know things need maintenance and cleaning, I just think it would be nice to get a heads up when the pool was one of the main draws! There was loud music till late.
- Bethany (3/5): -
- Alison (6/5): - Comfortable, new Beach Bungalows. The breakfast was limited.
- Davide (7/5): -
- Tamara (10/5): -
- Flore (8/5): - Emplacement en face de la plage, petite piscine fraîche, chambre propre et douillette. Lessive et séchage à 50000 par kilo. Le bus 14 juste à côté ! La forte musique de l'hôtel qui réveille à 7h15 ahaha.
La nourriture de l'hôtel et alentours, très européanisée comparée aux restaurants de la ville de Cat Ba avec les spécialités de la mer.
- Michal (8/5): -
- Claudia (8/5): - Sehr freundlich und rentspannt Kaffee zum Frühstück ohne Aufpreis
- Ellen (10/5): - Tolle Lage, außerhalb und trotzdem mehrere Restaurants erreichbar zu Fuß
Bus nach cat und Fähre hält ca alle halbe Std direkt vorm hostel
Sehr nettes Personal
- Tp (7/5): -
- Kristijonas (8/5): Nice colorful hotel - Good location, beautiful hotel with summerful colors, friendly staff, it's a place where a handful of expats made it home. DJ was playing music during the day. You can rent bikes, motorbikes and excursions. Nice bungalows, comfortable beds The shower could use a curtain otherwise there is water everywhere. We rented a motorbike with no fuel and were asked to put some. Gave it back with way more than when received. Breakfast way too small and it's a shame to charge for coffee that even local staff doesn't drink but prefers to buy in the bar next door. The beach is not usable, it's full of waste. You have to go elsewhere
- Edwin (8/5): - Locatie direct aan het strand en ongedwongen sfeer
- tommaso (10/5): Peace and love - Struttura super accogliente soprattutto per i ragazzi che ci lavorano. Camere comode e pulite! Colazione abbondante e anche il ristorante è buono. Disponibili strumenti per suonare, biliardo, biliardino. Per andare in spiaggia basta attraversare la strada. Abbiamo prenotato con loro i bus per andare da Hanoi a cat ba e da cat ba a Ninja Binh, oltre che la crociera nella Baia, tutto super Tutto bene
- NEIL (10/5): - Breakfast was ok
- Florence (5/5): L'accueil était très sympathique mais manque de propreté dans les logements. - L'accueil était très chaleureux et l'emplacement du logement conforme à nos attentes. Les bungalows sont accessibles et jolis. Le linge de lit n'était pas très propre.
Les photos idylliques de la plage ne correspondaient pas du tout à la réalité. Plage à l'abandon avec des déchets jonchant le sable.

- Olga Patraj (10/5): Lovely place, super helpful staff and great atmosphere! - Staff was super helpful - every time we asked them for something the were doing everything to meet our expectations and they surely did! and The fact that breakfast was included was very convenient. The whole facility looked lovely and had basically everything that’s needed. Great atmosphere and would love to go back there one time.
- jean baptiste (9/5): - Le calme du lieu, la frequentation de se coin de l’ile
. La disponibilitee du personnel et son ecoute. Tout es mis en oeuvre pour passer un sejour agreable. Je cherche mais ne trouve pas.
- Elisa (8/5): -
- Justyna (9/5): Klimatyczne, przyjazne miejsce z super przyjaznym i pomocnym personelem. Dziękujemy :) - Fantastyczny pesonel Trochę daleko od portu i centrum
- Shirley (10/5): Perfect stopover. - Peaceful
- Iulian (9/5): -
- Gerhard (10/5): -
- Lachie (10/5): - Staff were super accomodating in the best part in the island in my opinion. Would highly reccomend to any travellers
- Stephen (10/5): Great value and lovely staff who treated us like family - The cottages are big and have a good size bathroom. The best are the staff who invited us to a NYE bbq on the beach. Sam, who checked us in was amazing and really helpful organising trips and scooters for us
- Léna (10/5): - Super cadre, bonne ambiance, personnel très sympathique ! Rien
- Anke (7/5): Besser als im Zentrum - Sehr nette Atmosphäre, großes Zimmer, sehr sauberer Pool. Pool und Sitzgelegenheiten liegen direkt an der Straße. Keine Bar am Strand, wie auf den Bildern zu sehen. Das Essen ist maximal mittelmäßig. Die Unterkunft befindet sich im Umbruch, da ein Besitzerwechsel ansteht.
- Marion (10/5): Merci pour l'accueil et des chambres plus que confort ! - La chambre et son confort et propreté + deux lits !
La gentilesse et l'accueil de l'équipe ! Très familial
Le bar et restaurant en bas convivial et familial !
Les prix très accessibles de la carte en prime. Scooter à disposition en location facilement , billard et bar :) Rien du tout
- Marion (10/5): -
- Sacha (9/5): - Relaxing /
- Rich (10/5): Great place great food value for money. Lovely family run hotel next to the beach. - This is our second, stay here in a month came back because great value for money. Lovely family run beachside hotel, very reasonable food, nice hot shower and a great view to the beach.
- Sofian (10/5): -
- Rich (9/5): Nice - Very nice great value for money Nothing
- Frederique (8/5): Jolie homstay au calme - Emplacement au calme.
Les repas variés et de bonne qualité.
Le personnel Que la plage en face de l'hôtel ne soit pas aménagée (j’entends de pouvoir y boire un verre, par exemple).
L'approximation des bus pour se rendre à Cat Ba
- Camille (10/5): - Situé juste en face d'une petite plage déserte loin mais pas trop (15min scooter) des gros resorts en travaux du centre ville. Les hotes sont super chouettes et c'est possible de manger sur place et c'est plutot bon pour le prix :)
- Markus (8/5): Cozy home away from home with lovely people and great value for money -
- Philipp (10/5): -
- Anh Thắng (10/5): -
- MarkusAuer92 (10/5): - The place was so nice! We loved everything about it.
Especially summer, our host, arranged everything for us: bus transfer, motorcycle, food and drinks at every time and we had a great time!
The camp is around 15 minutes from the city center (by scooter) and perfect for everyone who wants to enjoy Cat Ba, but would prefer to avoid the rather busy center in the south.
- Géraldine (8/5): La gentillesse des accueillants et leurs serviabilités est à noter. - Le homestay est beau. La famille est très agréable et serviable. Bonne communication et location de scooters sur place. En bord de route mais pas trop de circulation la nuit. La chambre est équipée sommairement et est assez petite. La propreté est correcte.
- Kiên (10/5): - Gần biển và thật yên tĩnh không ồn ào! Nhân viên thân thiện!
- Maayan (10/5): -
- Chiến (10/5): So good -

- Nuria (8/5): Buena experiencia - La piscina, y la playa. Está super cerca. Las habitaciones son adecuadas. Pueden llevarte y traerte en taxi al centro por un buen precio. El transporte al aeropuerto perfecto. Fueron muy amables. Recomendable alquilar motos o bicis para poder volver tranquilos al hotel.
- Đinh (10/5): - I trully have a nice trip in here. Good staff, nice breakfast
- זלקובר (8/5): - הצוות נחמד והאווירה רגועה שאין מקרר בחדר

El personal extraordinario.

Highly recommend!
- Nguyễn Nhật Hạ (10/5): -
- Jeria Marras (7/5): - Good location, close to the beach. The food it wast too good, but there is a restaurant 3 min walking with an amazing food !!
- Harrison (10/5): 11/10 property amazing staff and property! - Best property I’ve stayed in a long time, amazing location, facilities and the staff made us feel like family. Must stay if in Cat Ba!!!
- Perrine (8/5): - L'Hostel est bien. Plutôt calme malgré la proximité avec la route. La chambre est agréable avec deux grands lits et un salle de bain privative. La proximité d'un super bon restaurant est vraiment géniale. Nous pensions pouvoir profiter d'une belle plage face à l'hostel mais nous avons été complètement déçus. La plage est jonchée de détritus en tout genre. Très salé, on n'a pas osé se baigner.
- Alex (7/5): -
- Marc (10/5): - Super sympa d'être à l'écart de Cat Ba town et en même temps accessible en 10 minutes de scooter loués à l'hôtel On fait assez vite abstraction de la route qui passe devant l'hôtel, mais il faut tout de même noter ce détail
- Basile (8/5): Gut für 1-2 Nächte - Eigentlich schöne Lage direkt am Meer. Hat auch im Vergleich zu den eher seelenlosen Hotels in Cat Ba Town noch Vietnam Charm. Weit weg von der aktuellen Großbaustelle. Zimmer war sauber, Ausstattung ok. Guter und sauberer Pool. Das Essen war leider unterdurchschnittlich, gibt jedoch einige gute Optionen in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Tagsüber etwas lärmig da direkt an der Strasse. Strand leider nicht nutzbar (zu viel Müll und Wasser zu schmutzig) dafür kann aber die Unterkunft nichts. Kein wirklicher Backpacker Vibe.
- Jiyong (9/5): - 바로 앞에 해변이 있어 좋았다 시내랑 약간 거리가 있지만
오히려 조용해서 좋았다
- william (7/5): Bon séjour - Séjour en famille, la piscine est bien et l’ambiance très cool Personnel peu dynamique, manque de motivation pour l’entretien quotidien, si vous faites tomber un morceau de pain par terre, il sera toujours là le lendemain, c’est dommage.
- Oliver (10/5): The best spot in Cat Ba - Everything! Nothing.
- Rebecca Atlantysse (5/5): - Lieu vraiment bien pensé au départ, dommage manque d'implication du personnel. PAS DE CLIM DANS Les CHAMBREs !!! (Dortoirs)
Pas de lumières individuelles non plus..
Bel endroit malheureusement pas entretenu..
- Patryk (9/5): - The staff was very helpful, and the overall vibe of the place was really great. For sure you can relax here. Also, it was really nice that there was a common place for guests to rest and chill while waiting for the transport (after the checkout). There were no "don't disturb" signs. It could be useful If someone does not want its room to be entered and cleaned everyday.
- Jonas (8/5): -
- Carolin (8/5): Für 1-2 Nächte völlig entspannt - Personal war freundlich. Man konnte viele Ausflüge buchen und das Zimmer war sauber. Man konnte sich ein Motorbike mieten und war schnell überall. Der naheliegende Strand war leider sehr schmutzig und nicht zum Baden geeignet.
- Elena (8/5): -
- Emma (7/5): - Ziemlich laut am Abend. Liegt direkt na der Straße und es wurde lange Musik gespielt. Lage ist sehr abseits. Roller konnten vor Ort ausgeliehen werden (nicht die besten). Wir waren 1 Nacht da. Sehr freundliches Personal. Busse zu diversen Orten konnten an der Rezeption gebucht werden (keine Bestätigung, was mich als Planerin am Tag der Abfahrt ziemlich verunsichert hat, aber es hat alles geklappt).
- buren (10/5): Endroit tellement beau et paisible que l’on a prolongé notre séjour - Tout était parfait
- Kapoor (8/5): -
- Avior (1/5): -
- Quoc Kiet (10/5): - This homestay is truly a wonderful experience. The space is cozy, welcoming, and fully equipped with all the necessary amenities, making you feel right at home. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, and spacious, with a stunning view. This is definitely an ideal place to unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquility, surrounded by nature.
- Philippa (10/5): - The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Good place for back packers and great for climbers, could easily scooter to the two main crags and could hire scooters at woodstock :) lovely vibe at the place.
- Hugo (3/5): - Relativement propre Loin du centre ville avec aucun moyen de s'y rendre, lits très étroits et sans lumières, repas chers et pas particulièrement bons, personnel pas particulièrement sympathique, aucun rabais accepté à l'ajout de plusieurs nuits au séjour
- Bradley (9/5): A highlight of our trip - Absolutely lovely family who own Woodstock, they could not have been more kind to myself and my daughter. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to escape the construction site that is currently Cat Ba Island! Woodstock is next to a beach and very chilled. Perfect for us but still only 10 mins bus ride in to Cat Ba town I had to leave! 😩
- Ellie (10/5): Best Hostel in Cat Ba - Lovely beachfront hotel with a pool. Great food at affordable prices and an incredible team of local staff who work around the clock to ensure your looked after. Thank you Phuong, Tom and Summer!
- Nora (6/5): Okay. - Man muss sich bewusst sein, dass das beachcamp weit vom center entfernt ist. Wir habe dies so gewollt, da cat ba eine riesige Baustelle ist. Grundsätzlich keinen Besuch wert.
Essen war gut, ansonsten noch ein einziges anderes Restaurant in der Nähe.
Rollermiete vor ort möglich. Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit. Zimmer hat gerochen wie ein Aschenbecher, nach langem lüften nur noch muffig.
Eine gruppe hat bis 1 Uhr nachts Lärm gemacht, niemand hat reagiert..
Strand vor dem beachcamp voller Müll.
- ALICE (10/5): - Personnel très gentil, très à l'écoute. Restaurant sur place. Face à la mer. Tranquil. Possibilité de louer scooter sur place et arrêt de bus juste en face. Piscine propre.
Super séjour
- Emma (9/5): - Right on the beach, nice vibes
- Wes (7/5): We loved our stay at Woodstock, it was exactly what we needed after the hustle and bustle of Hanoi. It’s clear the area - The staff at Woodstock were so kind and helpful, a mixture of locals and international volunteers, they helped us navigate the local area and gave great tips and recommendations. The rooms were basic but comfortable and the location on the beach was lovely to be away from the hustle and bustle. Great chilled vibes all round. Family dinner was great and good value. Breakfast was nice, with Vietnamese and western options. We hired a scooter for a good price with no problems. Beach party with great music and fire dancing was a highlight. We had an issue with our air conditioning and a loose electrical socket at the start of our stay, but this was quickly fixed when we told staff. Although totally out of their control, we had an island wide power cut 2 out of our 4 days stay. We later found out that the locals knew it was going to happen, it was a shame we weren’t warned so we could make sure to charge devices etc. Two days without power in a room without windows was a little tricky, and perhaps they could’ve provided some lamps/torches to make things easier. We loved the relaxed vibe but sometimes found things took a little longer to get done or we struggled to find staff when needed.
- Dan (9/5): - Lovely vibes and sound staff and a cool motorcycle themed bar up the road Nothing
- Landen (10/5): Great relaxing stay outside of the main strip. Beautiful location with a 10/10 common area and excellent facilities - Place is great, food is decent, bathrooms are great, beds are very comfortable, great amenities, Bathroom could use some shelving
- Ewa (10/5): - Podobała mi się atmosfera miejsca. Taka relaksujaca. Ładnie pomalowane, czyste miejsce. Jak na swoje 3 gwiazdki naprawdę godne polecenia.
- Vincent (9/5): - Super staff, très accueillant et chambre ok.
Merci pour l'accueil La plage en face n'est propre
- Levi (10/5): -
