What an amazing place to stay, off the beaten track, peaceful, beautiful, an amazing stay. Ben and Bich have done an amazing job putting this place together. The staff are wonderful, the food is good, they really have everything one could ask for, Ben and Bich have so many stories to share, they have so many plans for the area... More

Thanks for taking the time to write your review. It's great to have guests that stay a few days and get to appreciate what the region has to offer. It's a unique area at the moment in that its mass foreign tourism days are still in the future (weekends in summer are very popular with domestic tourism visits). The way... More

Very cool little place. Definitely a great jumping off point to explore phong nha. Check out swallows nest cave. One suggestion is more fans in the dorms. If you are staying in dorms go for a low bunk if possible. It's crazy hot in there.

Thanks for taking the time to write the review Evan L, We have last week installed a private wall mounted oscillating fan above each of the Top Bunks in the Dorm. The Dorm now has 11 fans for the clients in the10 beds that are in there. Now the top bunks are the better choice as they are the cooler... More

Bich, Ben and their staff are excellent hosts. Great location, with accommodation to suit different budgets. We had an upstairs room which was very comfortable. Well priced meals and beverages available. Tours organised to the caves were excellent as were eating recommendations at different sites. Plenty of activities available as well as just taking it easy. This rural getaway near... More

A stunning location for such a beautiful place to stay and with great hosts. Ben and Bich and the other staff really made us feel at home, often coming round to chat and tell us funny stories. The communal areas are great for hanging out and relaxing in. We wished we could have stayed longer as we only really had... More

I stayed at the Farmstay for 3 nights in early April and I wish I could have stayed longer. As they'll tell you in the very first email you trade with them, this definitely isn't for everyone. You're out in the middle of nowhere. Out the front door there is a dirt road and endless rice paddies. There's really nowhere... More

We stayed here around March 2012. At the time of writing, it is probably one of the best places to stay in the area for visiting the local sights in the Phong Nha National Park, so there isn't much point going into too much details. The accommodation is hostel-styled.  There are bunk dorms, but also individual rooms like ours, which... More

Plus: Ben, the owner, is a very friendly guy who makes sure that everybody is looked after. The farm stay is close to a number of stunning natural attractions (caves, karst scenery), and his tour visits some of the major sights. Comfy hammocks and a peaceful atmosphere. Minus: The Asian food on the menu is close to the worst I've... More

Firstly and most importantly, cold beer, not moderately cold, freezing cold. An almost inexhaustible supply of it and a backup fridge loaded to the brim, this is a revolutionary concept in Vietnam as was most appreciated watching bright red sunsets over the rice paddies from the hotel deck. The staff/family are warm and friendly and make it feel like a... More

We are a family of five. Two Adults and three kids aged 15,13,11. From the moment we contacted Ben and Bich they couldn't have been more helpfull. We actually booked three nights before we left Australia, however we ended up staying 6 nights. Our fondest memories are of this place and the hospitality we received. My kids loved the experiences... More

We stayed here for three days in mid-April, as part of our honeymoon in Vietnam. We found it in the Lonely Planet Guide and after reading a few Trip Advisor reviews and other blogs regarding the hotel we decided to try and book a room. We were also interested in seeing the caves in the area which have been featured... More
