Guest Reviews
- Beat (10/5): Kleines Paradies - Der Aufenthalt war absolut super. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Sie organisierten für uns Touren und einen Roller. Zudem kann man direkt am Fluss baden. Wir haben verlängert, weil es uns so gut gefallen hat.
- Frank (7/5): - Personal sehr freundlich und nicht aufdringlich bezüglich Vermittlung von Touren Sehr schönes Gelände, jedoch sollte es besser gepflegt werden... Wenn man eine Rechnung von 2.5 Mio VND hat und einem für 2x2 Spiegeleier 100000 VND extra berechnet werden... zumal das inkludierte Frühstück sehr sehr wenig war...

- Markus (8/5): Hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Gerne wieder, - Sehr nettes und sehr sehr freundliches Personal. Super Lage. Gerne wieder. Für uns noch extra Abends lecker gekocht. Alles war super.
- FRANKENGLER (10/5): - Nice Stay, friendly Staff , along the river , calm , restaurants by walking , to go to main spots, scooter is recommended breakfast with nice Viet- Ca Phe . top
- Mick (9/5): - Good location. Beautiful view at the mountains on the upper site side of the river. Friendly staff. The owner, Hien and family is doing a great job.
- Nina (8/5): -
- Valerie (8/5): Prachtige locatie en zeer vriendelijke eigenaars. Geven goedz tips boor bezoekjes aan de grotten en huren scooter kon vi - Locatie! Badkamer
- hubert (6/5): Bel emplacement mais chambres très basiques - La localisation de l’établissement au bord de la rivière est magnifique. Nous avions une chambre au premier étage avec un petit balcon. La chambre est basique, la porte fenêtre unique point d’entrée ferme difficilement car elle a été mal posée. Du coup la porte n’est pas sécuritaire. La pente de la douche ne permet pas l’évacuation des eaux. La salle de bain est constamment mouillée. Le dispositif de la douche était complètement dévissé . L’établissement manque de maintenance . Le petit déjeuner est simple , soit une pancake soit une omelette, le café n’est vraiment pas bon. L’établissement propose des repas qui sont excellents. Des vélos sont mis gratuitement à disposition et la location de scooter est de 150 000 VND par jour. Il y a toujours des personnes présentes dans l’établissement. Deux petites bouteilles d’eau sont offertes seulement le premier jour. On nous a indiqué un itinéraire en vélo qui nous fait découvrir la vie rurale des environs, on prend une barque pour traverser la rivière et voir les rizières. Un peu cher pour la qualité des chambres mais on paye sans doute l’emplacement au bord de la rivière. L’établissement est très mal isolé, on entend les voisins et surtout il fait très très chaud dans la chambre lorsque nous revenons des activités en journée. La climatisation met un certain temps à baisser la température ce qui est normal. La nuit , il est nécessaire de mettre la climatisation sur 27 degrés car le toit est mal isolé. Attention à ne pas laisser des produits fragiles à la chaleur. Le village est situé à plus de 3 km mais on peut prendre Grab pour aller à l’établissement soit environ 50 000VDN.
- Sandrine (10/5): Amazing location and wonderful tenants. Fantastic place - The location is amazing, right on the river. The tenants are super nice and helpful. They got us a taxi in the middle of the night upon our arrival and for a small fee were able to check in at 6am. Super handy. They waited for us on the road and helped with our luggages. We got access to the bikes for free ( they are a bit rusted but they work fine to go to town) and we got paddle boards as well. They helped with getting tours and scooters. Whatever you need, they will find it for you. The beds are a bit hard but that’s just a question of taste.

- Andrea (7/5): Tolle Lage, super freundliches Personal - Die Lage direkt am Fluss, der freundliche Empfang. Die Organisation der An-u. Abreise durch das Homestay. Die Ausstattung des Zimmers ist einfach, aber war für uns ok. Das die Zahlung nicht wie in der Beschreibung angegeben per Kreditkarte erfolgen konnte. Die Zahlung musste bar erfolgen.
- steffen (10/5): - Ubicación y personal amable.
- Loan (10/5): Quá tuyệt vời, là địa điểm xứng đáng để bạn lựa chọn lưu trú và có kì nghỉ tuyệt vời ở đây. - Bữa sáng đầy đủ các món cho mình lựa chọn, đồ ăn ngon trình bày đẹp mắt😍😍😍
- alice (4/5): Niets gezelligs - De ligging aan de rivier Uitgestorven Grote kale kamer met 2 toiletten midden in de kamer Niet schoon
- Jack (9/5): - Thanks Ms Hiền
- Fran (4/5): Deberian renovar todo - Vista y el desayuno gratis. Sin luz en el baño, primera noche sin agua caliente.
- valerie (8/5): Très bon accueil dans un endroit calme au bord de la rivière - Très bon accueil dans un endroit calme au bord de la rivière Décoration de la chambre qui pourrait eêtre plus cosy
- Jacob (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rohit (9/5): Superb - Chung was an excellent host, always on hand to support, answer any questions and would look to go out of her way to make your stay comfortable. Even before arriving to stay, she supported with tour information and arranged the booking, as well as airport transfers. I can't speak highly enough of the hospitality that was offered. The staff generally did everything to make the stay as pleasant as they could. The property was right next to the river which was nice and about an hours walk to the main row of shops and restaurants.
- Eva (8/5): Lovely peaceful stay - Great Location. Friendly owners. Clean and welcoming
- Claire (9/5): Best place to stay in Phong Nha ! - We had such a great time at Son River House! The best thing is the location as it is quite far (40min walk) from the city center but right upon the river. The center is nothing special, you'd rather be a bit remote. You can experience silence in Vietnam 😂 it is very chill and the whole homestay is lovely. There are SUP and bicycles to be freely used by the guest. Chung and all the staff are super nice. You can also have breakfast or grab a bite on the site but there are restaurants near by for the evening meal. From 5-6pm the local kids come here to have a swim in the river it seems like a very friendly and nice neighbourhood. I would totally recommand to rent a motorbike from the hostel directly and enjoy all the nearby activities phong nha has to offer at your own pace. Nothing
- Invelop (10/5): so authentic and friendly! - so unique and adorable! The staff is amazing and the river view is so cool. We absolutely loved it. We often stay at very luxurious places around the world, so I had no illusions or false expectations. This was authentic, rural Vietnam homestead done incredibly well. Would 100% go back! beds a little firm :)
- Nguyen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jan (9/5): Lovely - Fabulous people and view at this place.Happy to help with trips and booking buses. Room felt a bit damp but to be fair it was raining the whole time we were there
- Robert (10/5): Best spot to stay in Vietnam - Stayed at a lot of places during my road trip through Vietnam, but this one was by far my favorite. My bungalow had an amazing view of the water, and the staff were over the top nice. The owner even surprised me with some traditional Vietnamese food, and had me eat with them. Also, I couldn't find a taxi to go to the bar so they promptly drove me and picked me up. Couldn't recommend enough. Nothing, it was amazing
- Lauren (8/5): Very good - Such a cute little place right by the river. Beautiful views ! Definitely need a bike to get about as it's a bit further out but still close enough to walk to get what you need. Staff are all so friendly and welcoming! Breakfast and coffee were great . Rest of the food I would say is overpriced for the quality but seems pretty standard for Phong Nha. Had a lovely stay but you can get much cheaper places along the road with better facilities available etc. would still recommend :)
- Katharina (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed for two nights and I did not want to leave at the end. The homestay is so spacious, directly overlooking the river, with designated stairs to go for a dip or stand-up paddling with an incredible backdrop. I highly recommend for groups or familys who are looking for a quiet getaway, since the stay is at the end of the town's street. The kids can run around the inner yard, and in the evening, it is a perfect place to order food, have some drinks with or without other guests. It was the perfect place to have breakfast in the morning too, with lots of greenery providing shade while you can watch the tour boats to the phong nha cave coming and going. But the best thing was the woman who took care of the stay while we were there. She told us many things about the area and her family (in Vietnamese). At the end, she felt more like a friend or big sister than a staff, showing Vietnamese hospitality and just their warm culture from its best side. The room was spacious, with many windows, the AC worked really well and living room and the bathroom were really clean. It was an amazing value for money. If you are looking for a budget stay to have some quality time with friends or family, this one is it.
- Benoit (10/5): Incredible ! - Amazing ! Thuy is very nice and friendly. She has a beautiful familly. The Kids are amazing. Directly, the scooter was ready when i arrive. The room was beatiful and confortable with a view on the river. It is definetly a good place. I recommand !!! All was perfect !
- Thomas (10/5): Lovely homestay by the river - Beautiful place by the river that was nice to swim in as well. Hosts were so nice and hospitable, and they helped us in every way possible, including with food, traveling, tours, and more. Lovely atmosphere in general with warm people and kids playing around spreading joy. Be aware that this homestay is a little aside from other businesses such as restaurants and cafes. But everything we needed the hosts offered their help to provide.
- Nick (8/5): Very good -
- Nicola (10/5): Lovely stay. Wonderful staff and location - Lovely people, great location, great food. Couldn’t do enough for you. Would highly recommend. Nothing not to like
- Michelle (9/5): Wonderful Homestay - We had a wonderful stay at Son River house. Great location right on the river and just a push bike ride into the town. The Staff were great and very helpful with booking tours and taxis for us. The food was lovely at their restaurant. We will definitely visit again.
- Mihir (10/5): Exceptional - Great well maintained property, great location and great staff -
- Samantha (10/5): Spacious and helpful - Super friendly welcome, helped sort out all our trips also and accommodated our vegetarian request which was awesome. Breakfast pho was banging! Would also really recommend the vegan resturant down the road :) great spot to go explore all the caves Nothing, everything was fine. Good value for money. Great air con too
- Cynthia (5/5): it’s just ok. - good location room is smelled like musty, no hot water as i asked the host, she said it would be hot but turned out no hot water to shower. staff is friendly but i feel like she tried to get more money from us such as take us to a specific restaurant and told the owner to make food for us, also I borrowed her a motobike, she said us to paid for the petrol only, but turned out that we paid 80000vnd for a motorcycle for just 1 hour ( going out for dinner). breakfast was much option. tasted ok I wouldn’t recommend here.
- Erna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Josh (7/5): Amazing views, friendly hosts - The view from the front of the property is exceptional. You can eat breakfast outdoors and look at the river and mountains.The room is spacious and the beds reasonably comfortable. It's a small town so don't expect a 5 star hotel, but the host is friendly and easy to communicate with prior to the stay via app messages, and even let me borrow a jumper for the cold weather. Pickup from Dong Hoi station was available (for a fee) and easily arranged prior. They only do breakfast, so you'll have to walk or ride into town to restaurants... They let me borrow a scooter but it didn't seem like a standard feature, more a favour, as I was one of only a few guests. I'd enquire prior about organising a bike. The property is at the far end of town in a quiet area with the locals, and cows occasionally wandering on the road etc. Proper small town vibes. I enjoyed it. Host didn't speak English in person, but we got there in the end with google translate. Someone else was seemingly responding to the app messages. Hot water in the shower ran out pretty quick. Rats running across the roof at night, though travellers staying at different properties said they had the same issue there too. Maybe just common in the area, probably seasonal with the rain. Wasn't a deal-breaker.
- Ian (9/5): Superb - Peaceful and quiet and next to the river. Friendly owners. Enormous room. Owner collected us from Dong Hoi station. It's quite a walk to the centre of Phong Nha. The owners have very limited English so it was hard to communicate. Intermittent problems with the hot water.
- Jeremy (5/5): Passable -
- Ronan (10/5): Warm & friendly, tasty, sweet views & very comfy - Everyone here have the warmest smiles & love to get involved. Greeting me as a friend, offering up delicious Vietnamese food & keen to hang out for chats. Just the right flavour after a big day of sight seeing the caves, cycling or motor biking around … then comes the view! It’s amazing … you are planted on the beautiful Son River shadowed by lovely mountains in the eve. I will be back without a doubt! Can say nothing
