Niet booken, beter elders. Rare vibe, management mankeert aan ervaring en gastvrijheid, luide kamers
Pros:

Positief:
- CLEANING staff is zeer vriendelijk
- Elke dag verse handdoeken
- Nieuwe kamer
- Heel leuk zwembad als het water proper is
- 3 hele lieve hondjes
- Kalme ligging aan het meer
- Goede bedden
- Heel leuk dorpje 15minuten wandelen. Je ziet het liggen vanaf het zwembad. Daar zijn heel goede restaurantjes en café’s voor zeer goede prijs
- 3 lieve hondjes

Cons:

Negatief
- service is echt niet goed. De jonge mannen hebben nog veel te leren in gastvrijheid en management van een hotel. Motivatie lijkt ver zoek.
- Veel te duur voor wat je ervoor terug krijgt. Zeker tijdens zware constructie werken. Alles is er duur ( drank, brommerverhuur, uitstappen, … ) ze profiteren van het feit dat het afgelegen is, maar mits wat opzoekwerk vindt je lakkelijk betere en goedkopere alternatieven.
- Geen “vietnam” vibe, de vriendelijkheid en gastvrijheid die de mensen hanteren in dit land is op deze plek ver zoek. Hotel geeft meer een hostel vibe. Niet gerund door familie maar door personeel die mits meer inzet misschien wel goed hun werk zouden doen?
- Zwembad was heel vuil tweede dag van ons verblijf. Precies melk in het water. Zwembadwater moet 100% transparant zijn
- Lang wachten op bestelde drankjes
- Some is er niemand aanwezig in de “bar/receptie”
- 2 dagen moeten wachten op info om een tour te booken, dus elders kunnen booken waar het goedkoper was voor dezelfde tour (bij babevoyages.com en daar is er ook een mooi hotel mét goede authentieke service. Ze kunnen alles regelen wat je wil voor betere prijs en dit met motivatie en vriendelijkheid)
- Heel luidruchtig hotel. Wij wilden daar een beetje relaxen na een drukkere fase van onze reis. Dat was helaas niet mogelijk want er waren werken dus vaak gehamer, geboor, etc
- Kamers zijn een leuk concept maar de muren zijn super dun dus je hoort alles van iedereen.
- Kettingen en hangslot aan de deuren die zeer luidruchtig zijn

charming homestay
Pros:

We really loved the atmosphere of this hotel, located in a peaceful little corner by the lake. The place is charming, and the staff are absolutely lovely — always helpful with anything you might need.

There’s a small, pleasant pool, which is great when it’s hot, and they also offer excursions with really nice activities on the lake for both adults and children.

A truly peaceful and relaxing homestay, perfect for two or three nights — I highly recommend it.

Cons:

There aren’t really any nearby restaurant options — you can only dine at the hotel. The food is very decent and good for one night (it is a set, no menu and choices), but if you stay a second night and want some variety, you’re a bit limited and have to keep eating at the hotel.

most expensive and worst days of our trip
Pros:

After a lot of hesitation, mainly because of the price of 100 dollars per night , we decided to book here to relax for a few days after the Ha Giang Loop. I really wish we hadn’t. The 2 points are only for the beautiful location and the comfortable beds, because everything else was a disaster.

Cons:

The room is nice but very plain, nothing like what you would expect for this price. But the worst part: it’s incredibly noisy. The air-conditioning units of all rooms were attached to the wall of our bedroom. We didn’t sleep. A constant buzzing, swelling and fading noise that you don’t just hear, but also feel. We could also hear the snoring of the neighbours.

To make matters worse, there was a group of 24 travellers staying at the same time. This place is absolutely not suitable for such a large group. Every morning at 6 AM the noise already started.

We also booked the day trip on Ba Be Lake: 80 dollars, again totally overpriced. The scenery was beautiful, but we were so exhausted from not sleeping that we could hardly focus on the guide’s stories, let alone gather the energy to go kayaking. And then my partner got sick as well.

We really couldn’t handle another sleepless night. They tried to move us to another accommodation, but that place was even worse, with such hard mattresses that you could feel the springs. We wouldn’t have slept there either.

In the end, I had to personally ask the tour leader of the group to please switch off their air-con units between 10 PM and 7 AM (it wasn’t hot or cold, so no one needed air-conditioning anyway). Thankfully they agreed, so we finally had one somewhat decent night.

For this price, you expect at least some level of comfort and style. Overall, it felt more like a 50-dollar resort, and even that would be generous.

To be fair, they did make a small gesture: we received 10% off the room, free drinks, and one dinner we didn’t have to pay for. We appreciated that, but it didn’t come close to making up for the overall experience.

Conclusion:These were without a doubt the most expensive and worst days of our entire trip. I absolutely do not recommend this accommodation. What a disappointment.

Überteuertes Hostel – kein Hotel
Pros:

Geräumige Zimmer mit sehr guter Klimaanlage und bequemen Betten. Der Wasserdruck ist in Ordnung. Die Sauberkeit absolut zufriedenstellend. Der Ausblick vom Balkon in das Grün des Nationalparks ist wunderschön. Ein Spaziergang durch das Dorf lohnt sich und es wimmelt von Schmetterlingen. Eine der Servicekräfte und die Dame des Hauses sind sehr freundlich, bemüht und hilfsbereit. Aufgrund meiner Nahrungsmittelallergie erhielt ich ein angepasstes Frühstück. Dieses Sandwich, war vom Geschmack das Beste, was wir in dieser Unterkunft bekamen.

Cons:

Nebenan eine sehr laute, aktive Baustelle. Beginn 6:30 bis abends. Es wäre nett, allen Gästen deshalb einen Preisnachlass in dieser Zeit anzubieten. Wir fragten vorab nach einem Transport vom Flughafen Hanoi und zurück. Dafür mussten wir – Vorkasse!– 270 $ bezahlen. Da Ba Be unser erster Aufenthalt war, wussten wir nicht, welcher Preis angemessen erschien. Später, nach Feedback von anderen lokalen Transportunternehmen, erfuhren wir, dass der Preis extrem unverschämt war. Kein luxuriöses Auto und von Hanoi nach Ba Be wurde eine weitere Passagierin mitgenommen. Die überhöhten Preise zogen sich durch (Essen, Getränke usw.). Bei booking wird eine durchgängige Küche angegeben. Doch wir wurden gebeten am 1. Tag in einem „Restaurant“ gegenüber zu speisen (Hygiene mau mit 1 Gericht). Wir bestellten dann für Mittag im Hotel vor, konnten aber nicht auswählen. Uns wurde teilweise Ungenießbares vorgesetzt. Das ist nicht sehr ökonomisch und ökologisch. Wenn Gäste vorab auswählen dürfen (a-la-cart – so steht es bei booking), dann macht das Sinn. Da mein Mann erkrankte, konnten wir in den ersten 2 Tagen keine Touren buchen. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt war die Hauptservicekraft ignorant. Wir hatten das Gefühl unerwünscht zu sein, da an uns nicht so viel verdient werden konnte. Eine „kleine Tour“, die wir buchten, war zwar mit einem sehr sympathischen, aber extrem unerfahrenen Guide. Wir zeigten ihm die Insektenwelt, die er nicht kannte. Die Tour war sehr anstrengend – für 1,6 km sollten es laut Guide 30 Min. sein. Es ist aber unrealistisch dann noch Tiere zu entdecken und für Ältere mit Vorerkrankungen unmöglich in dieser Zeit (Überanstrengung!). Wir sind erfahren in Dschungelreisen und wissen, wie langsam wir uns bei der Luftfeuchtigkeit bewegen müssen! Somit vom Hotel nicht durchdacht und an das Klientel angepasst. Wir wollten den Regenwald entdecken. Der Weg ist das Ziel – und nicht die sportliche Höchstleistung. Um das hatten wir aber zuvor den ignoranten Servicemitarbeiter gebeten.

Scam. Be aware!
Pros:

Nice room.

Cons:

Scam. Go only if you are ok with paying x5 the price displayed on Booking.com. At the end of our stay we paid five times the amount displayed on our booking, all worth in transfers and guide (more than 500€ only in 2/3 days, for just 2 people). For a reference, in Hanoi we stayed in a 5 star superior hotel with spa and breakfast included all for 27€/per night/per person. Ba Be Jungle House will try to suck from you as much money as possible and SCAM you with super high prices to move around. This is a huge problem for customers as the main point of contact for a tourist in rural areas is the accommodation (no people speak English/use technology or social, so you really don’t have any alternative but to accept the prices they ask you). Don’t recommend. Zero customer care. Tourist trap. Much better to go to any other guesthouse.
