    We really loved this place! What a good bang for your buck. We liked that it was out of town and the host family was super sweet. We ended up staying in a dorm with 6 others because the private rooms were full- the beds were very comfy and air...

    Such good value for money. Rooms are clean and spacious. We loved the location in a village up in the mountain. You do need a scooter to get around. Owner is super helpful and knows good English. Also the tours and bus tickets are super...

    Amazing stay, we loved it so much that we extended our trip. Wonderful family-run establishment with some of the best home cooked food in all of Vietnam. Friendly and helpful host with great English as well. It’s a bit out of town but it’s well...

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my homestay page. Our homestay was started in early 2019 with 8 bungalows and, in 2022, we build 8 more rooms. We are located in a small, quiet and typical village of the island where the people are really friendly, closely, smiley... It's in the middle of Cat Ba Island, 8 km away from the centre of Cat Ba Town and the beaches and 5 km only from Cat Ba National Park so you can visit both of place with scooters, bicycles, local bus or taxi. Our home is located in the back of the main street and close to the forest, so in my home you will be able to enjoy fresh air and a peaceful surrounding... We also garden at my home so there are many trees, flowers, vegetables and we have animal like dogs, cats, chicken... In the sunny day, we have a freshwater swimming pool all ready for you... We also have a restaurant at home where we are using it to cook for our family and the people who staying with us by Vietnamese style.
My name is Lan and my wife is Hue. I am not a Cat Ba Island local, but I know many things of the Island. In 2009, after I graduated University in Environmental Science, I came to the island to work for an NGO in conservation at the Cat Ba National Park to protect the island nature. After I got married with my wife, we built a happy family with 2 boys. At the same time, we rented a Hotel in Cat Ba town for my wife to work there but it was too hard for her to take care our children and to do a good job at the hotel. At the end of 2018, I decided to quit my job at the National Park and to help my wife. Thats when we started the business of this homestay. Since the very beginning, I fell in love with this beautiful island. After more than 14 years staying here, I still love every single thing in here and want to share it with everyone!
Our village is located in the valley in the middle of the island, outside of Cat Ba Town and bordering Cat Ba National Park, and surrounded by mountains and forest. With 8 km away separating the village from Cat Ba town, you can escape from the crowds and the noise from traffic... And with 5 km away and border Cat Ba National Park, you can easily visit there on the most beautiful road on the island and have stunning view, fresh air and interesting landscape.
