Phong Nha A Little Leaf Homestay

If you love nature, enjoy looking out at the river right from your bed, and don’t need luxurious amenities, you can have a really lovely experience here. The house is located at the end of the village, so it feels especially close to nature. From there, you can cycle toward Phong Nha Cave and enjoy the scenery along the way. It is also not far from local restaurants and food stalls, and you can have meals at the accommodation as well. The host is very warm, helpful, and friendly. The facilities are basic but clean and comfortable.

Die Freundlichkeit

Det er helt vildt hyggeligt, og der er bare rart at være. Morgenmaden er lækker. Det er dejligt, at det er lidt væk fra byen og ligger med den smukkeste udsigt til floden og bjergene.

A simple but nice and clean homestay near to the caves of Phong Nha, Phuong is an excellent and helpful host. Thanks a lot!

Het uitzicht vanaf de kamer was heel mooi

We sliepen in een container waardoor het in de nacht echt heel koud was. Er was weinig ruimte en het was allemaal een beetje muf.

La gentillesse et la disponibilité

Petite odeur d’humidité dans la chambre, mais cela est à mon avis plutôt courant en bord de rivière

Phòng hơi cũ và xuống cấp, có thạch thùng trong phòng nhưng host cho rằng đó ko phải việc gì đáng bận tâm. Mùi của phòng là mùi gỗ cũ và ẩm mốc. Vị trí thì xa trung tâm nên đến khoảng 20h nếu ko đặt trc thì rất khó cho việc ăn uống đi lại. Bù lại thì thực sự phòng và homestay có view đáng giá tiền. Họ cũng hỗ trợ team mình bữa tối và tắm rửa sau khi check out, 5 sao vì host đã rất cố gắng trong khả năng, nếu có thể cải thiện dịch vụ và cơ sở vật chất thì thực sự homestay đáng được biết đến nhiều hơn.

My wife and I absolutely loved everything about this accommodation. The room we had was on the second floor with an amazing view of the mountains, river and all the boats passing by. The hammock on the balcony was fantastic. The bed was comfortable and we really appreciate having air conditioning and a fan. Our hostess and her mom were so friendly and lovely. They treated us like family. Our breakfasts and dinners were very tasty. The location is on the far end of town but they have bicycles, scooter rental (this is what we chose) and of course GRAB. You’re within walking distance to some riverside restaurants and bars. We highly recommend this accommodation for your next visit to Phong Nha!!

No issues at all.

awesome view and best food

A Little Home Stay was the best destination we had during our 22-day trip. Phong Nha was absolutely a dream come true... the experience was impressive and enchanting. It is a family-run project, and absolutely everyone is adorable, super welcoming and helpful. Phuong's mother makes the most delicious food you can imagine... and oh, breakfast is included..... it couldn't be better. We will truly return, we already miss that view too much.

Nothing was bad, everything was perfect... I saw many reviews from people complaining about bugs... it is literally in the middle of the forest, it is the least one can expect from nature. In our defense, we did not find a single bug in the room.

It is a good location if you are a backpacker and looking for a place to stay

Low noise cancelation, on site food is very limited. Going to the river is not easy and fun

Anh chủ siêu nhiệt tình, mình được sắp xếp qua cơ sở mới nên phòng mới và sạch và view đẹp lắm ạ

View đẹp, thoáng

Cơ sở vật chất có dấu hiệu xuống cấp nên cải tại lại sẽ ok hơn

Vắng vẻ thoải mái

Có trẻ con chạy thì hơi ồn

Gorgeous view with very friendly staff

View đẹp nhất trên cung đường sát sông. Không gian yên tĩnh. Phù hợp để nghỉ ngơi. Phòng ốc không mới nhưng sạch sẽ. Cô chủ nhà rất thân thiện vui vẻ

Fantastic location

Access to river was bad. Lack of overall care and maintenance.

A beautiful and unique home stay along the river. The view was amazing and we loved the hammocks. The homestay is run by a lovely family who were so helpful and kind to us for our stay. The breakfast was really nice and there are free bicycles to explore. They very kindly arranged an earlier check in for us after our sleeper bus got in very early. Thank you for everything!

Das Allerschönste an der Unterkunft ist der Ausblick auf den Fluss, während man in einer kleinen Hängematte liegt.

Man sollte unbedingt drauf achten, abends die Fenster immer zuschließen. Aktuell ist gerade Fliegen Saison und sonst ist das ganze Zimmer voller Fliegen.

Such friendly staff, gorgeous views from the makeshift shipping container rooms. Free bicycle use, 15min cycle into town. The owner was a cave guide so is very knowledgable and can help with booking tours. Balconies shared with adjacent rooms (not for everyone but we didn’t mind). Very relaxed and chill vibe, really adds to the experience of being in Phong Nha :)

Very little sound proofing meant that someone walking up the stairs sounded like thunder , waking us up at 11pm or 6am! Could also hear conversations from rooms above and next door. Bring ear plugs! Very minimal facilities in the room but for a short stay it’s fine.

Gorgeous view from the rooms, very peaceful area but close to restaurants and bars. Beds were very comfortable! Free use of paddle boards and bikes which is lovely, and the breakfast was really good! The hosts are amazing and made sure our stay was good.

…

Highly recommend this place, amazing for couples, so relaxing. Can use the bikes for free and breakfast is great

Get the google translate out for the best communication with the lovely lady who owns it

By far, my favorite stay in whole Vietnam. It is truly peaceful and you get to experience slow local life. Everything you need is close by. In the morning you can use the Kayak for free. I initially booked for 3 nights and ended up staying a whole week. I would definitely come back.

View của phòng tôi như bức tranh thiên nhiên tuyệt vời mỗi sớm mai. Mách nhỏ khách nên đặt home sớm để đặt phòng view nghìn USD

Gorgeous riverside view from the first floor balcony and the whole property. Hammocks and outdoor furniture are available. Lovely staff, big rooms with comfy beds and good bathrooms. Free bikes to cycle into town - probably a twenty min cycle to the main street. Good breakfast.

Slightly far from the town but so peaceful and calm we didn't mind. Walls are slightly thin.

Accueil, chambre, restaurant parfaits ! Halte à conseiller

Great view, comfortable bed, clean linens

The building was sketchily constructed and the room itself was in a sorry state. Water stains on the ceiling, cracked linoleum, gaps in the shower paneling, marks on the walls and it looked like some kind of critter had gnawed a corner of the drapes. There was nowhere in the bathroom to set anything down and we were provided with a used bar of soap. When people were walking up and down the stairs it sounded like someone banging on our wall. Not really a problem in the night once people settled in but not ideal. Of the 30 or so Homestays located along the river this was one of the more pricier options. That and the high reviews from previous guests lent to higher expectations. We checked out after the first night we were so disappointed.

This Homestay is absolutely amazing. We had the best time and the hosts are also extremely accommodating the lady was really nice and helpful. Definitely the best place we have stayed in Vietnam.

The view from our room was beautiful! The food was great, the bed was very comfortable and overall it was good value for money. The owner also pre-arranged a jungle night walk for us which was exceptional :)

We had a lovely hot shower the first day but the next 2 days we seemed to time our showers badly as there was no hot water. Being storage containers it was loud when those upstairs were walking around or on the stairs. Also there was no air and towels didn’t dry inside.

River view from the room is stunning I ended up staying another night so I could have a day to just relax. Phuong speaks English well and it was easy to communicate with him. He is an easy going and friendly host.

I would've loved a kettle in my room but no real complaints

Views and staff was great, rooms need some TLC and was also a mouse living in the room

The view is insane, the hosts are very very nice, the breakfast and the food we ordered for dinner were both so good. The room was nice and clean with a beautiful river view. I would 100% recommend

Nothing

Het uitzicht vanuit de kamer is echt magisch. Daarnaast zijn Phong (de eigenaar van de homestay) en zijn famillie zo ontzettend lief. Echt mijn lievelings verblijf in Vietnam.

We had such a great stay here. Phuong was an incredible host, and his mother-in-law cooked all our meals, everything was home-made and honestly some of the best food we had on the trip, especially the stir Fried noodles for breakfast! Phuong went out of his way to look after us. He even arranged for his wife to stay overnight in Da Nang so they could pick us up from Ba Na Hills in their own car. He spent two full days showing us around — Paradise Cave, Phong Nha Cave, and the botanical gardens. He was amazing with the kids too, really patient and attentive. The homestay itself is really cool. It’s built from shipping containers, which makes it feel unique and a bit quirky. It’s about 25 minutes from the town centre, but Grabs are easy to get and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The area is peaceful with beautiful river views. What made the stay special was how welcome we felt. For a few days, it genuinely felt like we were part of Phuong’s family. Highly recommend.

Love the view, love the location, most of all, loved the staff. They were super friendly, super welcoming and super accommodating! Wished we stayed longer, can’t fault the place, felt very homey and waking up to this view was truly breathtaking.

Zadbany, czysty pokój z przepięknym widokiem na rzekę. Pyszne śniadanie i bardzo sympatyczny personel. Gdybym mógł dałbym 11/10 :)

Anh chủ rất tốt bụng và dễ thương Mẹ của anh chủ nấu ăn siêu ngon và nhiều nữa, mình gọi phần cho 2 người mà bác nấu nguyên 1 mâm phải 4 người ăn mới hết Phòng ốc tuy ở khu vực nhiều cây cối nhưng rất sạch sẽ và đủ tiện nghi

Địa điểm khá xa so với trung tâm nhưng nếu thuê xe máy thì đi cũng không quá tốn công

Friendly host, good homestay meal and drink, right by the river

Simple accommodation in reused containers. Amazing view over river, with wonderful host.

Nothing.

Stanze in container con finestra di vetro vista fiume, gentilezza, colazione

Tutto ok

- Anh chị chủ nhiệt tình, thân thiện - Ăn tối ngon - View sông hoàng hôn siêu đẹp - Phòng nhìn chung đầy đủ tiện nghi, khá sạch sẽ

- Thiếu nước rửa tay ở mỗi phòng

Great location and view. The host cooks delicious meals and offers free breakfast! Shuttle buses for tours can easily pick you up from here

Downsides: The beautiful balcony view in the family room is shared with the neighboring room, so it lacked the privacy we were hoping for. Because of that, we spent most of our time just looking out at the river and mountains-but from inside. The room is converted from a shipping container, not a solid house, so the soundproofing is very poor. The floor, walls, and ceiling are also quite worn down and not as new or well-maintained as shown in the photos. The host was very kind and friendly, but unfortunately the bedsheet wasn’t very clean

Las vistas al río desde la habitación

La recepción estaba vacía y teníamos que llamarles por teléfono y esperar a que viniesen cada vez que necesitábamos algo. La habitación no tenía ni una estantería ni armario para dejar nuestras pertenencias, lo que se hizo incómodo. Las instalaciones no están tan bien cuidadas como aparece en las fotografías.

Good location and friendly host

The property starts running down

Perfect location, it’s a bit out of the town centre but you can easily organise a taxi with the owner or use Grab. The view was incredible and the owner Phuong is so nice and helped us with anything we needed

Nothing

Cool riverside private rooms with ensuite. Quiet, clean and located 10 min drive from busy city Centre. Phong the owner and his family are very friendly and helpful, able to give good recommendations for tours

Sometimes bugs in the rooms

Right at the end of the main road, away from the hustle and bustle. Depends on if you want a peaceful and quiet getaway - then this is the place! The views from the rooms and property are amazing! It’s a simple homestay where the rooms are made up of shipping containers. Homemade food is served here. The owner is a cave guide and can get you on any of the tours around the area. Perfect place to stay while exploring the caves for a few days.

Close your doors as soon as the sun starts to set to not get a million mosquitos into your room.

We had a really nice stay here. Private room with a view and used the paddle boards and rental motorbikes. The owners mother was lovely and cooked us dinner and breakfasts. The location is the last place along the river which is nice and peaceful but not a quick walk to restaurants. We had some issues with booking a bus through the homestay - the shuttle that was included in the ticket price never got organised (even after confirming twice) so we missed the bus. He booked us another 2 hours later but just be aware.

The homestay is at the very end of the village, but that's not a problem as you can easily hire a motorbike and then get to the village quickly. This means you're a bit removed from the hustle and bustle. When the weather is nice, you can swim in the river and hire a SUP - a wonderful end to the day. The rooms are made out of containers, which can get a bit hot when the sun is shining, but there is air conditioning. The view is really calming and the owner is super nice and helpful. So if you don't need the hustle and bustle of a central backpacker hotel, this is the place for you. Thank you for a great stay!

Perfectly located in a quiet and serene area just outside of Phong Nha town. We got the peace and quiet we were yearning for here! You will however need a bike or motorbike to get around. The shipping container rooms are small but beds are ultra comfortable and views are gorgeous. Sound insulation isn’t the best and the place could do with some TLC but we had a lovely stay. The only thing we would have loved was a space to ‘lounge’ in. Some more comfortable chairs and hammocks outside would go a long way! Be sure to take the paddle board out at sunset. The views from the river are sensational. Double your time in Phong Nha if you can - a favourite stop on our travels!

Tranquil, lovely host, good food.

The place is so nice. So modern, right on the water, so so nice

They don’t have any heating! Despite it being about 10 degrees when we were there. We thought the heatpump would’ve worked but it only functions as airconditioning. Awful for winter. Was very uncomfortable

I loved everything about this place. Really friendly people - Phuong and his mum in law were very caring and ready to help with anything needed. The view from the veranda of the room is out of this world. Loved the fact that the view from your bed through the sliding patio doors was the river and mountain. The food was good - as was the coffee. Phuong makes amazing artworks from natural products which are displayed around the property and you can buy if you like.

Nothing to dislike

This place is a rustic paradise that provides all you need to have a fabulous and relaxing time. Phuong, the owner and host, is incredibly generous with his time and very accommodating to requests and needs. I can not praise him enough. Their onsite kitchen was also very accommodating to our vegan meal requests. The room is well set up with a full glass wall/door looking out to river and mountain views. Recommend booking one of their scooters to get around as it's a bit far to walk to any of the local attractions.

Nothing.

Great place and great owner - This is a real family driven homestay - perfect support for cave visits Swimming in the river just in front owner's garden

- Motorbike rental is cool, but brakes a little scary on the road to paradise cave, the handle was closed to maximum braking most of the time

I loved the location and the style: Artfully decorated Homestay in Oversea Containers at the edge of town with a beautiful view on the river. Calm and relaxing.

The cleanliness could be improved and there is no mosquito net even though there were mosquitoes and other insects. The containers are not very soundproof.

We loved the views and being in the outskirts of the town, seeing the sunrise against the mountain and the birds and fishermen early morning. The homestay owner had beautiful original art around, and was friendly when recommending activities.

Unfortunately our room wasn’t well maintained: mould on the wall, spider webs on some corners, toilet had significant build up, and some easy to clean markings on the walls. The light in the balcony in front of our container room window was not controlled by the switches in the room, so we sadly had to close the curtains in order to sleep, when we had booked the property because we were looking forward to naturally waking up to sunrise light. We were also disappointed to not see any hammocks to lounge in the garden like in the pictures. There was no nice place to “chill” if not in the room.

It has a beautiful view of the river from the room. It’s in a very quiet and peaceful area away from the town it’s easy enough to get a taxi there and back.

For the price you pay it’s a nice room however we came back from a meal and they were having a bbq directly underneath our room which led to our room being smoked out. We couldn’t sleep in there so we asked the staff if we could swap rooms but they were full and we tried to see if we could handle it but we couldn’t so we went to find him again and he’d gone to bed :( we ended up being moved into a room where his mother was staying which meant it wasn’t a clean room as we had to bring our duvet cover and pillows across. This room was also full of bugs. If we hadn’t kept asking the staff for a solution nothing would’ve been done. Even though it was still a bad solution to a problem they had created.

Felt nice being here. Phuong was very accommodating and helpful! Nice atmosphere only thing I wished was the weather to be better! Great breakfast too!

Lovely view from the room

Rooms have no ventilation and are humid. Our clothing was damp in the morning when we woke up because of the air. There was mould on the walls. The bed was very uncomfortable, like sleeping on timber.

Lovely homestay, a bit different than the usuals, some artist spirit. Great view on the river & mountains from the room. Quiet area. Great confy bed. Clean. Hot water. Probably one of the best place you could stay in the whole area if you are not looking for a 5 stars.

Very minor, but I would maybe add some hook/knot system for the towel in the bathroom.

Great location right on the river! Free bicycles available to help us explore and get into town. Phuong was so great to us, helping us book our treks, transport out of phong nha and had lovely dinner on the premises! He also makes great rock art!
