Guest Reviews
- Kat (10/5): Eine Oase fü Ruhe und Naturliebhaber - Der schönste und grösste Salzwasser Pool unserer 6 wöchigen Vietnam Reise! Mit Blick in die Reisfelder 🌾 René, der belgische Besitzer und seine Vietnamesische Frau sind die absoluten Vietnam Profis! Mit einem eigenen Reisebüro sind sie die erste Anlaufstelle für jegliche Fragen zu Vietnam. Wir können die Unterkunft absolut empfehlen und der Ausgangspunkt zu den verschiedenen Höhlen ist perfekt. -
- Tim (10/5): Truly great location and hosts. HIGHLY recommended. Yes, in capitals. - Greenfield Ecostay is like a oasis within beautiful rice fields and surrounded by the mountains. Lovely food with vegetables from their own garden, and Rene and Ngân are fantastic hosts.
- Desfourneaux Pierre (10/5): - Quand on arrive on est accueilli par René et sa femme comme si on arrivait chez des amis. C'est un endroit magique. Nous étions 5 et avons pris nos repas le soir et aussi le petit déjeuner. Un vrai régal en plus d'être très bien présenté. Un étape magnifique. Sans doute une des meilleurs au Vietnam, jusque là c'est notre troisième voyage.
- anh sơn (10/5): kỳ nghỉ tuyệt vời - Greenfield Ecostay đã cho tôi và gia đình một kỳ nghỉ thật đáng nhớ! đến với GE như về với nhà mình! anh chị chủ nhà thật tuyệt vời! thật sư từ đấy lòng trân trọng cảm ơn những gì Homestay đã dành cho gia đình mình! tuyệt vời! sẽ sớm được trở lại nơi đây!!! k có điều gì

- Cheryl (10/5): - Delicious food, amazing views, lovely owners
- Delroise (10/5): - L'emplacement idéal, la gentillesse des hôtes, l'impression d'être comme à la maison et la piscine donnant sur un panorama magnifique.
- Denis (10/5): Great and quiet homestay - A amazing and quiet place!!
Everything was fantastic!
Rene is from Belgium and can speak English and German as well.
His wife cooked a snack for us and also dinner... Very delicious 🙏
The pool and the rooms were clean and comfortable
Thanks for that great stay
Looking forward to see you again ☺️
- Lucy (10/5): A true hidden gem - This is a hidden gem - a wonderful family run homestay in the middle of the stunning Vietnam countryside. The hosts and their team were amazing - from the moment we arrived we felt right at home. The warm welcome, the food, the conversations, the atmosphere, the care to make sure you’re ok and have everything you need was exceptional. If you have the chance to stay at Greenfield, don’t think twice about it, just book - you won’t regret your time spent here surrounded by beautiful nature and wonderful people.
- Thu Hằng (8/5): -
- Margaret (10/5): Great place to explore area on bikes provided - I liked the communal eating, helpful staff, great food and tranquility.
- Grégory (10/5): - Un grand bonhomme, une petite bonne femme. Deux grands cœurs, qui savent donner sans compter, chacun dans son registre. Qu’on était bien ici. On se laisse faire volontiers, on s’abandonne quelques jours, on s’en remet à leurs conseils et à leur bienveillance. Merci à tous les deux. On vous emmène dans nos souvenirs. Rien.
- Torben (10/5): -
- Hugo (10/5): Really nice place to stay - Breakfast was really good, very friendly staff, free bikes+ nice routes to cycle near, amazing pool
- Mireina (10/5): - Fijne gastheer en vrouw, maken gezellig een praatje. Tour naar de grotten ook bij hen te boeken. Goede locatie in de rijstvelden, 10 min met de auto van phong nha. De buurt kan je met de gratis fiets verkennen. Kamer was fijn, warm water. Tot nu toe beste verblijf in Vietnam. Niks gewoon boeken.
- Alexej Hlinka (10/5): -
- Bas (10/5): Amazing. - Beautiful location, relaxed atmosphere, great food and nice owners would definitely recommend to come here! Nothing
- Israel (10/5): -
- Nguyen Thi (9/5): -
- Cheryl (10/5): -
- Lois (10/5): Most beautiful setting and wonderful memories of our hosts - Best place in Vietnam. Our gracious and accommodating hosts, Rene and Ngan, went above and beyond, for example, they bought a lamp for our room so I could read at night and upgraded our room for free. Definitely the most beautiful setting of any place I've ever stayed. I could watch the buffalo, cows, and farmers in their rice paddies from the gorgeous infinity pool, surrounded by greenery and flowers, or watch the sunset from our balcony or hang out on comfortable chairs in the thatched roof pavilion. Phong Nha and this beautiful gem of a hotel is my favorite place in Vietnam; magical. The valley is surrounded by mountains - awesome photo opportunies. I loved swimming in the huge, clean, salt water pool. Flexibility with meal times was appreciated. Rene, his wife and staff made great coffee, and delicious meals, with many choices, including a special BBQ meal, and we loved hanging out with Rene and drinking great wine and Scotch whiskey (he has a great bar), and hearing about his many experiences and swapping stories. Rene was a motorcycle tour guide for years so his expertise was very helpful. Rene even fixed my iPhone and arranged for his motorcycle mechanic to put air in the tires and oil the chain. We enjoyed cycling into town on his free bicycles, and walking to a restaurant called Lotus in the village. Our huge room and big bathroom counter had many places to put our stuff. Quiet area at night. Essentially, nothing. Wet shower, ie, not enclosed, so your feet get wet when using the commode but this is common for Vietnam, but the sink area was dry - a plus. Bed was a little too firm for me, also common in Vietnam - my husband thought it was OK - but I used another comforter to add padding and then it was fine.
- J (10/5): Fijne Homestay - Rustige ligging. Fijn zwembad. Huislijke sfeer Geen idee
- Anne (10/5): - We had an amazing stay at Greenfields. We had to change our plans due to most of the caves/tours being cancelled due to the typhoon at the time but René and his wife were very helpful and organising other activities for us (the jungle hike was great!). We loved swimming in the pool every afternoon and having a few drinks.
They also organised washing for us, and we borrowed some push bikes to ride around for the day.
The little cats they have are sooo cute and friendly, and definitely a highlight haha. The food was delicious and it was so nice not to have to go back out after a big day if we didn't want to.
Overall, a stunning location overlooking the rice fields, with a beautiful garden and lovely owners/staff. We will be back!
- Jacqueline (10/5): Awesome stay - We loved our stay at Greenfields, it was a great detox from the busy city. Renee was an awesome host, nothing was too much trouble. He helped us with transport & a tour to local places with local people, & was always up for a chat, which we loved! The pool was amazing & very much a feature of the place, a swim on a hot day was very relaxing. This place was perfect for our trip
- Ellen (9/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): - This is my second stay at Greenfield, it is only a couple of km’s out of Phong Nha and situated beside the rice fields. It is so relaxing with an amazing pool and the hosts are so welcoming and genuine. Both nights an excellent dinner was provided by the hosts which made it even more relaxing. You can’t go wrong with staying here !!!!
- Bénédicte (9/5): Sympa mais isolé - La piscine, la vue, l'accueil de René. Emplacement éloigné de tout, il nous a fallu prendre un grab pour aller manger (à noter qu'il est possible de dîner sur place le soir). Coût du transport assez élevé et pas toujours évident à trouver (René peut vous partager le contact d'un chauffeur, mais il faut compter 200k aller retour) Bien sûr pour ceux qui sont véhiculer pas de problème.
- Venn (10/5): A peaceful retreat. - Feeling apart of a small community for the length of the stay.
The quiet space outlooking the rice fields.
Riding a bike to get around.
Chatting to the other guests staying there.
The Pool.
- Văn Tới (10/5): -
- stuart (10/5): Don’t look any further! this is the one! - The beauty of the place exceeded expectations. So glad we found this place. It’s easy to get around from here but we stayed in the pool relaxing on the sofas for a couple of days because it was such a beautiful pool and view. Renee and his wife are the loveliest people and we felt so looked after during our stay. Prices were really reasonable and Renee organised great trips out for us. They did our laundry. We could have stayed and would definitely go back in a heartbeat ❤️ They really go above and beyond for their guests. The food was excellent and this was easily the best place we stayed over our whole trip. Really there was nothing that we would change.
- Maria (10/5): - We hebben een geweldige tijd gehad bij Greenfield Ecostay. Het is heel ruimtelijk en toch knus. Zowel het avondeten als het ontbijt was elke dag heerlijk. Het zwembad is groot met een super uitzicht en voldoende plekken om te liggen. De omgeving is prachtig, er is veel te ondernemen maar je kan ook gewoon genieten van de natuur. De eigenaren zijn heel vriendelijk, behulpzaam en gezellig! Als je naar Phong Nha gaat moet je zeker weten hier een paar nachten verblijven.
- Petra (10/5): Zur Entspannung und zum Auftanken der ideale Ort eingebettet in 100% Natur. - Die Lage mit dem wunderbaren Pool mit Blick auf das Reisfeld und die herrliche Ruhe. -/-
- Nguyen (9/5): We feel comfortable, family, cosy air - The view, open space, fresh diner, the friendly hosts, oganic ingredient food Nope
- Nat162 (10/5): Exceptional - Greenfield is surrounded by lush vegetation and vibrant green fields, just a short ride from Phong Nha center by scooter, car, or taxi. The setting is peaceful, with a beautiful garden and a fantastic seawater pool. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, thanks to the hosts, René and Mémé, who go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay— I recommend checking with them for transportation and tours—they’re very helpful and knowledgeable.
Good breakfast with fresh homemade options. One of the highlights of our stay was biking through the area, it was a fantastic way to explore the surroundings. Free bicycles are available, and scooters can also be rented.
Highly recommended! Our teenage sons said it was their favorite place in Vietnam so far. Not enought sunshine during our stay ;)
- Boris (9/5): Superb - Swimmingpool Hard bed
- Grace (10/5): An excellent base for adventures. - The owners are so helpful and friendly, the setting is breathtaking and of course it is well placed for adventures in Phong Nha Ke Bang caves and jungle treks. After a day exploring the area you can cook off in the pool and enjoy the stunning views across rice farms and karst formations. Serves great local food for dinner, and the pancakes at breakfast are the best we've had so far in Vietnam! Nothing, it was great.
- Karen (10/5): A fantastic place to stay - Wow, what a great stay we had. Lovely property a bit out of town next to rice fields. The owners are so hospitable and friendly and nothing is an effort. Breakfast was great and plentiful. We ate in a couple of times and meals delicious. There are pushbikes for a nice ride into town. Nothing
- Maya (10/5): Exceptional - Best hotel we ever stayed at. Beautiful pool and views. The owner was so nice. The food was great. I recommend with all of my heart to come!!!
- Laura (10/5): Absolutely loved my stay here. - The owners are beyond lovely and hospitable, the food is delicious, the gorgeous pool and general serenity made this the perfect relaxing base to explore Phong Nha. If you’re considering staying here - do it!! Nothing!
- Janina (10/5): Exceptional - I loved everything! Definitely the best place I stayed in Vietnam. The owner is such a sweet lady, she makes you feel at home. The food was great. Good service of WiFi, important if you are working remotely like me. The rooms are big, clean and very comfortable. I spent lot of time at the pool and garden.
There is also laundry service and they can arrange transportation from and to the airport.
You can use the bike for free and explore the surroundings. Very beautiful area.
- Stephen (10/5): Honest Renae ask him and he will have the answer - Owners provided an excellent, safe place with awesome facilities, great meals, and super advice on what to do at very affordable prices.
Greenfield has the most charming infinity pool overlooking the rice fields.
It has seating for everyone for quiet time to be by yourself to a true bar full of all your favourite spirits and beers where you can chat to other tourists and the occasional local.
Renae organised all my activities from the moment I arrived, right to the best sleeper bus to Hoi an i have experienced below what I was looking at online in all cases.
Thanks to all the staff at Greenfield Eco stay. Nothing to dislike
- Davies (10/5): Absolutely beautiful stay!! Stayed here before our oxalis tour and I can’t recommend it enough!!! It’s so beautiful! -
- Wade (10/5): Slice of Phong Nha Heaven - Beautiful setting amongst rice fields with views of limestone peaks and distant mountains. Ngan and Rene couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful, and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed a lunch and three excellent dinners prepared by Ngan and her staff and she even welcomed my daughter to learn how to make a few different rolls.Breakfasts were included with basic offerings and great fresh fruit.
Rene arranged to reschedule our bus to Ninh Binh because we wanted to stay an extra night with them in Phong Nha. He also arranged a day tour of two of the area's caves for us.
Great infinity pool, lounging and eating areas and a perfect little bar area.
We loved everything about this great place and couldn't recommend it enough. It was perfect for our stay near Phong Nha - Ke Bang and so happy we found it!!
Thank you Ngan and Rene for such a memorable few days!!
- Flora (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joe&hannes (10/5): Exceptional - This was by far the best homestay during our Vietnam vacation!
The location is super quiet and beautiful (therefore requires some time to get there by bicycle or scooter, both available for rent).
The hosts are super helpful and mindful and easy going. Also very knowledgeable about trips & travel destinations. The food is great and fresh and the pool as well as the property is just beautiful for relaxation.
This was our place for refueling our energy. The only small thing you could complain about are the slightly draughty rooms vs the AC. But well, therefore they are clean and not humid or moldy in any way!
- Jill (10/5): A haven, away from the frantic, hectic, chaotic and all those 'ic' words to describe VN cities! - What an oasis after the hustle and bustle of the major cities!
I could not believe how unbelievably lucky we were to chance upon this place.
From the incredibly reasonable rates, to the stunning views, to the warm, generous and caring hosts, who at the same time gave you your space and the most delicious and hearty home-cooked meals, it was the most memorable and special of experiences during our time in Vietnam.
The laundry cost a song and the drinks, next to nothing!
And most importantly, the showers were hot.
Wifi was freely available everywhere, despite being in the midst of the paddy fields.
The pushbikes are free so treat yourself to a trip to the Phong Nha Caves nearby. And at 100.000 dong you can hire the Homestay's scooters and head to Paradise Caves.
- Doris (10/5): Exceptional - If you are looking for the perfect stay around Phong Nha stop searching and start booking! We loved everything about it. The people, the place, the pool, the beautiful rice fields and that everything was so quiet and peaceful. Thank you!!
- Richard (10/5): A Special Place. - Rene and his wife have created a very special place. A meeting place for fellow travellers in a stunning location. Rene is an amazing, generous host. A genuine people-person full of interesting and entertaining stories and useful information about Vietnam, but at the same time very interested in others. Helping yourself to beers from the fridge and writing them down in the "honesty book" further creates an atmosphere of feeling at home. Undoubtedly our most memorable place to stay on this six week trip to Vietnam. Leaning against the side of the pool gazing out over the paddy fields was an unforgettable experience. We rented a scooter for the day to visit the mind-blowing Paradise Cave at a very reasonable price and didn't even have to fill up with petrol on return. Good breakfast with limitless coffee. Finally a personal story: we had brought our own bicycle combination locks to Vietnam as we knew cycling would feature prominently on our six week trip. We left one of the locks attached to one of the bicycles when we left for our next destination in Dong Hoi. I messaged Rene to let him know the combination just so the lock could be removed from the bicycle and used by others. Much to our surprise the lock arrived a few hours later to our hotel room in Dong Hoi, which was completely unexpected but very appreciated. Thanks Rene! The room was pretty basic, but this was more than made up for by all of the other aforementioned attributes of Greenfield Ecostay.
- Chris (8/5): Very good - The breakfast pancakes were a hit with our kids as was the pool!
The staff were super friendly and caring.
The surrounding scenery was gorgeous.
- Rodrigues (10/5): A hidden gem, highly recommended - Amazing owners, made to feel very welcome, plus they helped us plan tours and transportation.
Loved that most residents had communal dinners together, met great people and had lovely conversations.
Pretty location, nice pool.
Great value We didn’t find anything wrong with Greenfield
- Serra (10/5): Exceptional - Very relaxing atmosphere in the middle of rice fields , helpful and friendly staff. We really enjoyed staying here and extended our stay. Of course the national park is also amazing . Don’t skip this place in your Vietnam trip Nothing
- Dale (10/5): Thanks for the memories. - Everything. Nothing to complain about at this stay.
Location, the owners and staff, even the pets. We loved this place. Best we have stayed at in Vietnam so far. Food is very,very good. Nothing to dislike.
- Leon (10/5): Exceptional - - very friendly staff, they helped us a lot with planning our trip
- you can rent a motorbike or bicycle there
- the food was very good (breakfast and dinner)
- the location in the middle of the ricefield is amazing
- very nice and clean pool
- beautiful chill out area around the pool
Rene was probably one of the best hosts we have ever had. We are already looking forward to the next time we are there. Nothing
- Simon (10/5): Don’t miss this opportunity whilst you travel in Vietnam! - Authentic Vietnam
Quite simply, I experienced something special here…
There are many amazing sights to see in Vietnam, and there are many people here to see them.
As we tourists swarm from place to place, we just might miss the extra special things Vietnam has to offer today.
Here, I found something we are all searching for. In the fields and villages that surround Greenfield, there is a pace of life and harmony that, if you let it, will give you something very rare in today’s world…
In addition, your host, maître d', and bartender, Rene, is something special too. A Belgian gentleman who has lived in Vietnam for over 30 years, he speaks English, French, Vietnamese, Dutch—the list goes on and on. This means we all get a chance to hear his unique blend of wisdom.
He will guide you, if you wish, to find the best places near and far, whilst regaling you with stories of his experiences. To give you a flavour , he worked on the movie *The Quiet American*, supplying extras and meeting Michael Caine! If you prefer, he simply melts into the background.
Like all great hosts, he creates an environment of bonhomie. Whilst I was there, this certainly helped all of us guests to get to know one another for the brief time we met as our journeys crossed.
If you allow it, this place will give you something very special as well.
If you are fortunate in life, you find authentic people and places…
In Greenfield, I think I found both. In all honesty, if you find any faults speak to Rene and he will deal with them. I for one, had no issues.
- Lucy (10/5): Wonderful stay - Wonderful views and pool. Super friendly owners.
Used grab to get there from the bus only about 80k. So worth getting out of the main town.
Can hire a scooter from the stay for 100k for a day to do a loop and see the caves.
They can do laundry for 150k each, which seems quite expensive.
Amazing dinner, with a good portion, but not necessarily having a choice and was 150/175k which seems quite expensive in comparison to the surrounding area.
Overall, I would definitely come back and recommend, but it would be nice to have prices given to us/written somewhere before having things. Taxi which is orangise by the stay was 150k into town, pretty extortionate compared to any Grab.
- Alison (10/5): A perfect escape - Greenfield is idyllic, set a short distance away from the sleepy village of Phong Nha in the rice fields. We came to Phong Nha to disconnect and explore the incredible scenery and we were not disappointed, this is definitely a place to switch off. Greenfield itself is an oasis, the pool has the rice fields as its backdrop. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you require, the breakfast was fresh and filling and dinner was different every night, freshly cooked and with produce from their own garden. However, what really makes this place are the owners, Rene and his wife. They made us feel so welcome, are fabulously knowledgable in respect of the local area and Vietnam more widely, and Rene is your very own Google translate, he speaks a number of languages so everyone feels included, he is also fair game for a little banter 😊 can’t recommend this place enough.
- Kendall (10/5): Exceptional - We loved staying here! It is in such a peaceful location surrounded by fields. Our hosts were generous with their time and were always happy to help. The bed was comfy and the room was clean. We loved the pool and the gardens in the property. They have good, free bikes to borrow so you can explore the local area easily. Would recommend!
- Anh (10/5): Knowledgeable and friendly host - Peaceful location, excellent host from Rene and Ngan. Amazing and fresh veg garden. Pool with the best view. Hot water runs out quite quickly!
- Marion (8/5): Very good - A beautiful homestay in the middle of the rice fields. The rooms are simple and clean. The place is cozy and the owners are super nice. They help with all questions and give valuable tips. The food tastes great and you can take a moped directly from there into the national park. An ideal accommodation for backpackers, families and travelers who want to travel authentically. -
- Yvonne (10/5): Friendly host at an amazing location. - The amazing location, helpful and very generous and social host and staff, cute kittens and puppy, good free bikes to explore the surroundings and good organization with a driver that can pick you up! Close to the fantastic caves! We just missed the village planting the rice with a day or two, that would have been an experience!
- James (10/5): Amazing Ecostay among the rice fields - We stayed 3 nights at Greenfield Ecostay and wished we could have stayed longer. The location is stunning, with the most amazing views over the rice fields. The pool is the best I have seen in Vietnam. Rene and his wife are very friendly and offer great travel tips, they also offer motorbikes that can be hired to explore the surrounding areas.
The caves, mountains and forests of Phong Nha are truly stunning and well worth exploring. Everything was great
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachel (10/5): Must stay in Phong Nha - Great little find - peaceful out in the countryside, wonderful pool to cool off in and fabulous host in Rene. We ended up having dinner both nights and the food was delicious and plentiful.
- Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniele (10/5): Relaxing time - We recently stayed at this charming countryside ecostay run by a lovely couple. From the warm smiles upon arrival to their genuine willingness to assist, the hosts made our stay truly enjoyable. The place is surrounded by picturesque rice fields, offering a serene setting for relaxation.
The real highlight for our little ones was the beautiful pool. Our kids had an absolute blast splashing around, and we felt at ease knowing they were safe. The pool area was thoughtfully equipped with balls for play and plenty of towels for our convenience. Additionally, the relaxation zone by the pool was simply fantastic, offering a tranquil space to unwind and enjoy the serene surroundings.
I recommend this place to families looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of the countryside. It's a perfect retreat for those traveling with kids, offering a delightful blend of comfort and peacefulness.
- Carina (9/5): Beautiful property 100% recommend. - Everything!
Rene is lovely and helpful, amazing dinner and the pool is wonderful.
A little piece of paradise if you want to relax
- Max (10/5): Wish I could have stayed longer, will be going back! - Breakfast was great! All kinds of coffee, lots of fruit, tasty pancakes I like everything, except leaving
- Nguyen (10/5): A hidden germ - Situated in a serene little village, friendly folks (owner and staff) with excellent sense of service and chilled vibes made you feel at home. Simple yet amazing !
The swimming pool with a panoramic view of the rice field was phenomenal.
Merci Ngan et René pour cette belle expérience 🥰. We'll be back !
- Yuen (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing property with a super friendly staff. Great biking distance to main town, although we stayed mostly in the home stay for the amazing pool and view. The food from Greenfield was gorgeous too!
- André (10/5): Greats hosts who made us feel like home! - Very beautiful property and garden, outstanding pool. The rooms and bathroom could be slightly more modern.
- Lucy (9/5): Superb - Stunning pool, friendly helpful hosts, delicious food.
- Robert (10/5): Excellent stay, great place, absolutely recommend - Rene and his wife are great hosts. Together with their son and the whole staff they made our stay a fabulous time. Initially we planed to stay only 2 nights but eventually extended to 4 nights.
Such a relaxed, quiet, and peaceful place between rice fields. But still just a few minutes ride into town. Our bungalow was clean and cozy. We liked the vegetable garden and the big pool overlooking the rice fields. We had great breakfast and super delicious dinner. They offer to rent scooter, provide tips, and help you with planning tours if you like. On our last day Rene and his son drove us to our pick-up place for the bus. We can definitely recommend this beautiful place. It was one of our best stays in Vietnam throughout our trip. Nothing we can think of.
- Scott (10/5): Awesome place with friendly hosts - I absolutely loved my stay at Greenfield.
The owner (Rene) along with his wife and son made my stay extra special. They were welcoming, helpful and friendly.
The facilities were incredible, especially my room and the outdoor pool.
I had 2 delicious breakfasts, as well as an unofficial lunch and an evening meal.
The other guests were also lovely.
I hired a moped from Rene and they also did my laundry - I didn't have to lift a finger!
The location was a little out of the centre but that was a huge plus for me. So peaceful and quiet (but only 5 mins into town and the lake).
The place, room and pool area were particularly clean also.
This is by far one of the best places I have stayed in during my time in Vietnam. That I only stayed 2 nights!
- Mark (10/5): Highly recommend, perfect hosts, great village experience. - The hosts were fantastic. Went out of their way to help with everything. Speak perfect English, and very flexible and accommodating with everything. Breakfast is included but you are welcome to eat lunch and dinner with them if you want. Beautiful outlook with lovely swimming pool overlooking the paddy fields. Good bikes for use to ride into town if you want. Loved everything about our stay. Perfect!! Thankyou! Nothing.
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing Ecostay in a quiet, relaxing part of Phong Nha. The owners are awesome - thoughtful, caring and interested / interesting. They will go out of their way to help with tours, support etc. The food is great - the evening meals especially - and the swimming pool has one of the best views we had.
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional - The location was amazing, very beautiful surroundings. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Nothing.
- Simon (10/5): Great - Everything
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Helene (10/5): Exceptional - This place is like a home away from home! Located between the rice fields with views of the farmed tending their land, walking the cows it’s impossible not to just sit back and relax. The owners are amazing - so friendly and warmhearted. It’s 7 km from the city of Phong Nha but it’s an easy and beautiful to go by bicycle (which is free to use also). The room is simple but comfortable but the pool and the surroundings is like a four star hotel⭐️ If you want the staff cooks an amazing dinner for you every night I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place!
- Onur (8/5): Very good - Remote, you watch over the ricefields as ur in the swimming pool
- Leon (10/5): The most amazing stay! Best week ever... - We had an amazing stay at Ecofield! Renee and Nuoung are amazing hosts who go out of their way to make guests feel at home and to ensure they enjoy their time in Phong Nha.
It was easy to borrow bicycles and rent scooters, and they provided great recommendations about the local area. The food they serve is amazing, and the pool area is incredible with gorgeous views of the mountains and rice fields! Nothing. We extended our stay as we were so comfortable!
- Svetlana (10/5): Exceptional - The house is very cozy, and the host is very helpful and nice. This is not a ‘yet another hotel’, this place has the soul. Moreover, everything is clean and fresh in the room with a nice garden and pool outside
- Callum (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely stunning location in a beautiful setting, fantastic hosts too!

- Miriam (10/5): Absolutely loved our stay at Greenfields! - We absolutely loved our three night stay at Greenfield and could have stayed much longer. Both Rene and his lovely wife were perfect hosts in this charming setting. Bungalows set amongst organic vegetable and herb gardens, lovely sitting areas and the best saltwater infinity pool with views out to the fields. Our room was basic but clean, our dinners at the homestay superb and Rene helped us with transfers and hiring scooters to get around this beautiful area. Highly recommend. Not much to dislike.
- Christina (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location, amazing pool, tasty food and the hosts were amazingly helpful when we had problems with our delayed luggage. The beer was always cold and ready. We can highly recommend the Ecostay!
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - A perfect location, set amongst the rice fields of the countryside and just what we were looking for. We just wish we could have stayed longer. We were made to feel very welcome and given so much help from Rene, with organising transport to and from the accommodation, along with great help and advice on what to see and do around Phong Nha-kẻ bàng, during our stay. The pool and seating areas have amazing views and are perfect for relaxing. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking to experience the Vietnamese countryside and have close access to Phong Nha.
- Ron (9/5): Superb -
- Jelyn (10/5): ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. would stay here again. - We absolutely loved our stay here! René and his wife Ms.Nguyen always went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They were so hospitable and accommodating and even helped me when I was sick. The property is in a beautiful location, honestly breathtaking, and it’s close to the main attractions the caves. They also have lots of bikes and motorcycles for renting, the food was DELICIOUS and the accommodations itself were quaint and comfy. The only suggestion I would make is it would be great if there was a rubbish bin inside the bedroom, in addition to the one in the bathroom, but that’s it.
- Cox (10/5): Exceptional - This is a perfect example of a “hidden gem”. When you first arrive you might wonder if you’ll miss typical comforts staying on a farm, but it is the opposite, you wish you could stay for months!
Rene is a friendly host that shares his knowledge of the area and his wife Nguyen makes the most tasty meals inspired by the garden and together with their dog Meena and cat Mini, they have created a wonderful place to be.
A perfect pool and lounge area surrounded by bright green rice fields is absolutely picturesque. The family room was spacious for the four of us and the scooters were a highlight for our kids to get around to the town and destinations. This home stay a place you’ll want to come back to!
- Carol (10/5): Stunning Place to stay,perfect in every way - This place is beautiful in every way.
The care taken to create a beautiful space that feels restful the moment you arrive.
Rene & his beautiful wife are perfect hosts,very welcoming and kind and helpful with any further travel.
The food was so fresh and tastey with herbs and vegetables from their garden.
We used the bikes available to cycle around this beautiful countryside.
The pool and views are beautiful.
It truly is somewhere to just be even if you have no plans.
We loved it here! Just wish we had longer. Nothing not to like,this place is a 10!
- Julius (10/5): A true Homestay! - René and his family welcomed us on their property and took excellent care of us.
The location is paradise-like with views over the infinity pool out over the rice fields on to the mountains.
The rooms were cozy and well equipped and the meals were delicious.
Rene’s knowledge of the surroundings and experience as tour guide allowed us to skip all the organized groups and tackle the surrounding attractions on our own on one of their motorbikes giving us much more freedom and flexibility.
Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to relax and enjoy the fresh air in Phong Nha!
- Rhys (10/5): A rural experience with engaging owners, who are completely flexible to cater to your personal needs. - The location is awesome; set in the natural country environment for the ‘local experience’. The hospitality is above and beyond your normal hotel experience.
- Huong (8/5): Very good - I love the location, food and the owners, the room also nice with a nice view as well Didnt have enough hot water for shower, hopefully only happened on my stay
- Suzanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patrick (10/5): Perfect 10 and nothing less!! - Meme, René and their staff do everyting they can to give you the time of your live here. Honest and good hearted people. They created a little piece of paradise near the river Son, right between the rice fields. Bicycles and motorcycles available for every guest at a reasonable price. Nothing is too much for them. René is a very experienced tour operator with deep knowledge of Vietnam. His wife and he really do all they can to help you travel and enjoy the environment the way you like. Also rightly priced. Cannot think of anything negative or anything they can influence to make your stay even better.
- Paul (10/5): Family Run Ecolodge To Awaken Your Senses Wrapped in Tranquility - 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. 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.
- Akina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Xin (10/5): Exceptional - Loved every second here! The incredible scenary, comfort of the room and the most amazing hosts looked after our every need. We came off our bike the day before and were pretty banged up, this wonderful place literally nurtured us back to life. Cannot recommend it more!
