Happy field homestay Phong Nha

They were not up front and honest about some services. On my first day, the host Thang told me that it would be hard to get Grab/SM taxi from the caves. He introduced me to his cousin who drives a taxi. We went to Hang Dong Chi and Botanical Garden, he charged us VND900,000, which was probably 2 times more expensive than regular taxi. The next days we booked Grab rides, and there were plenty of them throughout the tourist destinations.

Second one was the laundry. We requested for a load of laundry done and asked them to use the dryer for our load. They agreed to do it but next morning when we picked up, they were air dried and still damp. They charged us 280,000 for the laundry.

Overall, the family and the housekeeper were really nice to us, I wished there ha
d been more transparency in the extra charges.

Comme les autres commentaires négatifs, trop de forcing pour placer ces excursions, les bus de nuits etc …

Early Checkin ist nicht kostenlos, was auch okay ist, aber das sollte auch so kommuniziert werden wenn man extra danach fragt. Lage ist 10 Minuten von der Stadt entfernt. Das Licht im Bad war kaputt. Wir wollten 1,5 Tage länger bleiben und wurden im Haus untergebracht. Dann mussten wir doch schon einen halben Tag früher aus der Unterkunft, weil Sie schon vermietet war und hatten den restlichen Tag keine Unterkunft was sehr unangenehm war. Der Bus war schon über das Homestay gebucht und uns wurde versichert, dass das Unternehmen sehr gut sei, weshalb wir auch gerne etwas mehr für die Reise zahlten. Der Bus war komplett dreckig und stank. Der Busfahrer fuhr wie ein Irrer viel zu schnell so, so dass ich die ganze Nacht wach war. Die Unterkunft ist schon gut aber zufrieden waren wir auf keinen Fall. Vor allem weil wir früher aus dem Zimmer mussten und wegen der schrecklichen Busfahrt.

We booked the bungalows shown in the photos with panoramic windows. On the first day, we were placed in a standard room because they said the previous guests had decided to extend their stay for one more day. That was fine.
The room was actually quite comfortable, although much simpler than the bungalow.
The next day, we were moved to our bungalow, but to be honest, it’s not really suited for hot weather. It was very hot outside (around +38°C), and even with all the fans and air conditioning running, the temperature inside could only be lowered to about 32°C at best.
The roof was letting heat through in direct sunlight (it seems like the materials used aren’t suitable for this climate).
My wife and I got sick and wanted to spend a day resting in the room, but keep in mind that in this kind of heat, that won’t really be possible. The second type of rooms (standard rooms in the main building) are much better for hot weather.
