Ruhig und freundlich
Pros:

Wir waren zufrieden und sehr dankbar, dass sie meine Kopfhörer gefunden haben, die ich am Abend im Garten des Restaurants verloren hatte. Beide Abendessen dort waren lecker, das Frühstück war in Ordnung. Das Zimmer war nicht groß, aber ausreichend, das Bad war allerdings sehr klein.

Vollkommen in Ordnung 👍🏻
Pros:

Die Lage liegt entfernt von den größeren Siedlungen auf Cat Ba, daher ist es angenehm ruhig. Das Personal ist super in jeder Hinsicht! Die Preise für die Roller sind mehr als fair.
Der Pool ist größentechnisch vollkommend ausreichend.

Cons:

Es wird um 6:45 eine Durchsage von einem naheliegend Lautsprecher abgespielt, inklusive einem Lied. Zusätzlich gibt es viele Hähne die in der Gegend krähen. Also nicht für Langschläfer.

Tout a été très bien
Pros:

La beauté des lieux, les extérieurs sont parfaits ! La literie a été très confortable ! Le petit déjeuner est très bon ! A noter quand même que le logement est un peu excentré mais le logement propose une location de scooter pour 3 fois rien !

Cons:

La salle de bain un peu petite

Great overall experience, with a couple of minor niggles
Pros:

Good location away from the main town, on a quietish side road. There was a funeral next door when we arrived which was a bit noisy, but that wasn't the resort's fault. Uncle and the rest of the staff were very helpful and he dropped us at the main road for our bus pickup when we left. Amazingly he managed to ferry us and all our luggage on a motorbike (with several trips, but it was only a few hundred metres!). The onsite restaurant had an excellent selection of evening meals, which is ideal as there is nowhere else within walking distance. We also hired a motorbike from the resort which was quick and easy, which you really need to get around the island.

Cons:

Swimming pool didn't look very clean, although being February it was a bit cold for a swim anyway. Bathroom was rather small and there was a faint smell of sewage (which is not uncommon in Asia).

Au calme
Pros:

Situé dans la forêt, cet hôtel est très calme. Le personnel a toujours su nous renseigner et nous aider. La chambre est très propre. Location des scooters sur place. Les hôtes vous aideront à organiser vos sorties sur la baie. Le petit déjeuner et les repas sont corrects.

Beautiful place to stay surrounded by nature :)
Pros:

We loved staying at papillon gardens
The grounds are beautiful with flowers everywhere along with butterfly’s
Perfect place to stay if you love being in nature as it’s located up from the town surrounded by green mountains
Unfortunately I was unwell for part of our stay there so couldn’t go on the day trip we planned but the rooms are clean and comfy bedding made that easier - also spent time on the deck chairs by the pool very chilled out atmosphere
They also have a restaurant where we had a yummy dinner one night
Highly recommend staying here in cat ba as it’s a short scooter to town and the national park

Cons:

No complaints
