Guest Reviews

• Nawal (10/5): -
• Léa (10/5): Super séjour - Super bungalow au calme dans le petit village de Viet hai. Nous comptions seulement y passer 1 nuit mais nous y sommes restés 3 nuits pour profiter du calme le soir et des randonnées et de la baie de Lan-Ha (soirée kayak et bioluminescence et journée bateau/kayak), Doan est très accueillant et nous a bien aidé pour nos activités. Nous n'avions pas compris en réservant qu'il fallait y accéder en bateau depuis le port de catba ville jusqu'au port de Viet Hai, Doan peut vous aider à trouver un bateau privé. De notre côté, nous avons trouvé un pêcheur qui nous y a amené pour 500k. Nous sommes repartis avec nos sacs à dos en randonnée via le parc national (3h30 de marche assez physique mais magnifique, la jungle est très belle)
• Lisa (10/5): -
• bruno (5/5): - très bon accueil par Doan. idealement situé pour visiter les environs. l'établissement bénéficie d'une situation de monopole dans le village et accueille tous les touristes qui débarquent a Viet Hai Les installations manquent d'entretien et d'hygiène. Les bungalows sont vieillots et necessitent une remise a niveau. les prix du restaurants sont élevés idem pour les boissons vendues.
• Kajzrová (10/5): Nejhezčí ubytování - Velmi pěkné
• Katrin (9/5): - Hilfreiche Planung bei Ausflügen. Ich durfte sogar Abends mit der Familie essen. Das war eine tolle Erfahrung! Bisschen ab vom Schuss. Aber wenn man die Natur mag ist es super. Direkt von der Unterkunft geht ein Wanderweg hoch. Das ist sehr zu empfehlen! Das Bad hätte etwas sauberer sein können.
• Friederike (10/5): Totally recommandation. - Staff was exceptional friendly and caring. We received very delicious dinner prepared especially for us. They helped us a lot planning our stay und activities. Close to nature. Facilitys in the room were a bit rustic, but clean.
• Katinka (10/5): -
• Cindy (9/5): Séjour parfait - L'accueil et la gentillesse de la famille. Très bon repas. Faites confiance à Doan pour le menu. Nous sommes arrivés par un bateau grâce à notre tour dans la baie de Lan ha, avons laissé nos sacs au port pour qu'ils soient montés au Homestay en voiture électrique et avons rejoint le homestay à vélo depuis le port. Beaucoup de touristes dans le village dans la journée mais les soirées sont calmes. Super rando pour admirer le point de vue sur la baie. 1 journée à Viet Hai suffit. Doan a géré notre retour en bateau et un de ses amis nous a retrouvé au port Ben Beo pour nous déposer à la plage. Tout est fait pour nous simplifier la vie.
• Samantha (7/5): Rustic and basic but great to experience a Jurassic park style setting with a fab national park on your doorstep. Expect - Viet Hai is situated an extra 50-minute boat ride away from the main boat crossing to Cat Ba. I didn’t know / realise this and therefore, was surprised when I had to pay an extra £21 to complete my 6.5hr journey to reach my accommodation. I was also hesitant. But it was fine. Thankfully, the return journey via locals ferry was only £2.80 and both journeys were viewing the stunning scenery all the way. I felt I didn’t need to do a Ha Long Bay cruise after my arrival trip! The rooms are pure rustic but sufficient enough with a mosquito net, very much needed, as lots of little slits and holes in the window shutters and above and below the door. There was A/C and a fan. No fridge or kettle. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were good with clean white sheets and two fresh clean towels. There were sachets of wash, toothbrushes, comb etc. The shower was in an awkward spot so I had to hold it over me to use and of course, the floor was the shower tray but took a while to dry out The location was great as it was away from the main village and on the doorstep of the national park - well worth the trek to the cave & and the old almost abandoned village and the hike up to the highest karst on the island to enjoy a superb view over Ha long Bay from above. A must do! The free bicycles all over the village were great with baskets in the front to stow your stuff. It’s very quiet and peaceful apart from when visitor trips arrive but never too busy. I didn’t see the name of Whisper Nature Bungalow & Resort anywhere, so initially I wasn’t sure if I was in the correct place. The host assured me I was but the signs only were at the restaurant of Long Phuong. The bungalow’s were located across and down the road from the restaurant / eating area which being alone, did make me feel a bit isolated, and there was a lack of lighting up the pathway in the dark. There was a large building construction going on next door which started up at 7am and finished around 6pm but with a break in the middle of the day. It was noisy on and off. Additionally, the radio mast at the top of the hike was undergoing repairs and so during the day, although it was about 100m away around the corner in the park, a motor could be heard ferrying buckets of cement up and down a cable for the construction. It was annoying at first but I did get used to it. The gardens were clearly very beautiful at the beginning / opening of this place but there was a lot of disused / unkempt areas around and about. However, after saying all this, I enjoyed the beauty of the ‘island’ of Viet Hai (it’s only reachable by boat, so they call it an island) it felt like I had entered Jurassic park and for the price, I was very grateful to have visited and stayed here. I encourage you to do the same but felt best to make guests aware beforehand, because forewarned is best and for the national park, it’s a must! I advise one to two nights; I booked three but was ready and felt I’d covered all I wanted after two and the hosts were fine with my change.
• Mats (10/5): Would book again - Friendly hosts, very helpful with planning and logistics. Amazing breakfast and dinner. Clean and comfortable rooms.
• Taoufik (7/5): - Le personnel était très accueillant et réactif, avec une communication fluide et agréable. Pour accéder au chalet, il faut prendre un bateau privé depuis Cat Ba, avec un supplément de 800 000 VND. Cette information n’était pas mentionnée dans les détails de la réservation sur Booking.
• Christoph (10/5): A peaceful and well-located stay at the edge of Viet Hai village, with simple but comfortable cabins and a helpful, cari - I think one of the best locations to stay in Viet Hai as it is at the upper end of the village, so you you are a bit out of the hustling day-tourists which luckily all leave at 6pm. Then you are really at peace there and can enjoy the village and the valley quietly. The cabins are simple but comfortable. The owner really cares and helped us organizing our canoeing trip to the bay and finally our way back to Ben Bo.
• Shelly (10/5): Exceptional - An absolutely wonderful homestay in a beautiful village! Getting to the village and back from the main pier is easy; you only have to ask for help. Once you get to the pier near Viet Hai, you can either take a bicycle to the village (someone will take your luggage), or you can hire an electric car very easily for a reasonable price. The owners were incredibly kind to me and made sure I had an amazing time and helped me make every arrangement. Fortunately, they spoke English quite well so we could communicate. They gave me advice on hiking and nice things to do around the village. Bikes were free; you can take one and go anywhere you like on the island. Lots of beautiful hikes, starting right at the doorstep. I was treated to amazing meals, with so many exotic and delicious choices! You can try a free fish massage! The family was so incredibly warm and kind to me during my stay of three nights; I was never bored for a moment. Truly a wonderful experience.
• Koen (4/5): Not worth it - not much Rude staff. Dismal cooking. Pushy woman in charge.
• Felix (9/5): Superb - Very friendly and helpful host, beautiful area
• Edib (10/5): Odlična mjesta , wonderful place , 5 stars ⭐️ - Beautiful and quiet place with nice bungalows in the lovely village of Viet Hai, perfect place to take a rest if you do the trekking inbetween National Parc entrance and Viet Hai and don’t want to hurry for return. Bungalows are very comfortable , friendly staff , and excellent breakfast +++++
• Lamberto (8/5): Would recommend for a fun stay on Cat Ba, away from big hotel. Great base for nature activities on the island (hiking, k - Excellent location in beautiful green surroundings, great for hiking and biking, and super helpful personnel Not the nicest bathrooms.
• Santeri (8/5): Very good -
• Marguerite (8/5): The hosts were so friendly and helpful. the ferry to Viet Hai and the bike from the harbour to the property are absolute - charming property with stunning views.
• Tomasz (10/5): Exceptional - Bungalows are located in the farthest part of the village, silent and very close to National Park entrance – good shoes are absolutely necessary. Amazing view with mountains from one side and fields on another. Very good food, both breakfast and dinners with different Vietnamese meals. Doan- our host help us with island trips planning and transfer to the next destination. Highly recommended for nature fans ready to accept more basic condition of the room - like scout camp – with excellent opportunity to reset and refresh minds by staying close to the nature with friendly host support. Some refreshment of bathroom door is needed
