Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great hostel either a nice courtyard , good breakfast and a friendly staff . Very social atmosphere
Staff absolutely lovely and the place has a really cool vibe to it. We loved the most that not all backpackers are 18-21 but also lots of mature travelers. The tours that you can book at reception are really cool, it's a great place to meet other people, and they have a fair price. On top of that the WiFi is very good and there's AC. The volunteers on site also to a fantastic job in making the stay memorable for everyone.
The in-house restaurant is not the best. It's not bad but also not great. However, that's no issue since there are 2 good restaurants just opposite the street. The bar is really good though. It's best to rent a scooter to get around (which we didn't), since waking to the beach is 30 mins and slightly highly. Also be sure to bring plenty of cash to Cat Ba or have VietQR. There's no non-scam ATMs on the island + card payments at the hostel come with 5% card fee. Best so search a VPBank ATM in a city before. The cleanliness is okay in general. Unfortunately, on two occassions, we had a cockroach in the room - presumably out of the shower drain. Management should definitely look into this! Also if it's unavoidable to some extent in this tropical climate..
È stata la mia prima esperienza in un ostello e non potevo fare scelta migliore di questo posto. Energica la zona living, camere e letti spaziosi, bagni grandi con privacy e continuamente puliti. Il personale era la ciliegina sulla torta. Tutti molto gentili.
Super gezellige tuin met lekker eten en drinken! Kamer was netjes, alleen waren ze nog bezig met verbouwen dus de bouwvakkers begonnen alweer vroeg helaas
De bouwvakkers en jammer dat er geen gordijnen voor het raam in de deur zitten, geeft toch veel licht in de ochtend.
Liked the vibe and location is excellent
Had an electrical high pitched sound in the room
Really nice atmosphere, especially in the evenings. The staff were friendly and helpful, the location was good, and the whole place had a relaxed and friendly vibe. It was a nice place to chill and meet other travellers.
The place looks a bit better in the photos than it does in real life and could definitely do with a little refresh. The pool didn’t look very inviting either. Apart from that, nothing major to complain about.
Posizione e personale
Pochi bagni
Buen ambiente, el restaurante muy bueno y el personal era muy amable y animado. Muy bien ubicado, cerca de todo.
Mi habitación era de 4 camas y era un poco justa.
Buenas camas y lavabos. Las habitaciones muy amplias y con espacio para almacenar. También esta cerca del “centro” y ofrecen muchos servicios extra, incluyendo alquiler de motos y excursiones.
La piscina tenía un color muy muy turbio, no parece que la limpien muy a menudo.
Consiglio a tutti di andarci. È il modo migliore per fare amacizia. Il posto è davvero carino
Bien organizados para las actividades. Reservamos con ellos el tour en barco y nos gustó mucho. También reservamos el bus para Tam Coc.
Un poco descuidado, pero notamos que es así en general en Vietnam, hasta en los alojamientos más nuevos.
La possibilità di fare il tour a Lan Ha, economico e di buona qualità. Stanza pulita ma con forte odore di fogna nel bagno. La piscina non era funzionante, ambiente hostel.
Odore di fogna nel bagno Non ci hanno affittato il motorino Vestiti non puliti a dovere Bar del hostel caro. Piscina non funzionante.
Hôtel bien situé dans une rue vivante avec de nombreux bars et petits commerces. Ambiance et décoration très agréable. 15 minutes à pied de CAT BA BEACH ou du port de BAN BEO pour aller au village flottant des pêcheurs et autres visites en bateau. La chambre est fonctionnelle et propre, un bémol sur la literie qui est assez dure. Le petit balcon est un plus. Serviettes de toilette changées tous les jours. Très calme la nuit. Les jeunes à l'accueil sont très sympas et de bon conseil pour découvrir l'île. Même remarque sur la sympathie pour l'ensemble du personnel qui est souriant et bienveillant. Le petit déjeuner est léger mais bon.
La piscine verte, inutisable, quel dommage. L’état de la salle de bain est très dégradé (odeur, insectes...) De plus la douche est située au même niveau que les WC, sans séparation ni dispositif permettant de contenir l’eau. Après chaque douche, une grande quantité d’eau se répand ainsi sur l’ensemble de la salle de bains, rendant rapidement le sol très glissant et augmentant considérablement le risque de chute. Mettre une raclette pour le sol serait une bonne idée pour commencer.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Secret Garden Hostel in Cat Ba was easily one of the highlights of my time in Vietnam. The atmosphere, the staff, the other travellers and the overall vibe made it feel like so much more than just a place to stay. I loved it so much that I ended up volunteering there as a bartender for two weeks — which probably says everything! 😂 It was honestly one of the best decisions I made on my trip. I met some amazing people, had some unforgettable nights and felt genuinely part of the hostel community. If you’re travelling through Cat Ba, I couldn’t recommend Secret Garden enough. Whether you’re staying for a couple of nights or, like me, accidentally end up staying much longer than planned, you’ll have an amazing time. Thank you to everyone at Secret Garden for making my time in Cat Ba so special. ❤️
Absolutely loved this place. First I had a private room which was clean, with a comfortable and big bed. Eventually I stayed one more night in a dorm room, which was also comfortable and clean :) They organise a pub quiz night and karaoke night, both very enjoyable, loads of fun. Employees were friendly and helpful, always so polite. The place is cozy with different lounge places, the bathrooms and showers are clean and location is walking distance to the centre. Highly recommend staying here. Booked the boat tour to Ha Long Bay with the hostel as well, was well organized with pick up + drop off at the hostel.
Clean, comfortable and friendly staff!
Creo que la ubicación es una de las mejores de otros lugares, es una calle transitada pero no ruidosa como la av principal. Tienen restaurante ahí mismo, desayuno incluido y clases varias como yoga y otras actividades, karaoke por las noches y mesa de billar. La vibra de la gente es muy buena onda, se puede conocer gente rápidamente y también ofrecen tours. Las camas son cómodas y las habitaciones están limpias y frescas.
La piscina es más pequeña de lo pensado y no estaba limpia.
Clean, good emplacement, pool is a cool thing
Nothing really
Good places, nice place to eat and drink also, super good backpacker, you should go
The a/c at 23 thanks roommate for the fridge, 4st floor some dorms (not a problem but be prepared)
El lugar es una maravilla, el personal muy amable y muy profesional. La comida del restaurante muy rica.
Great atmosphere, clean room. Recommend
Great room, everything I needed, loved restaurant and décore
The pool, I didn’t use it because the water seemed strange
El ambiente
Probablemente el desayuno
Das Personal hat für mich das Busunternehmen kontaktiert, damit ich direkt vor dem Hostel abgeholt werde. Es gab abends viel Programm und war auch lauter. Im Zimmer hat man aber davon nichts gehört
Phòng ốc sạch sẽ, thoải mái. Vị trí gần biển. Bữa sáng có 3 sự lựa chọn, cũng khá ngon. Không gian đẹp, có chỗ check in. Có bể bơi nhỏ nhưng sạch sẽ. Nhân viên vô cùng thân thiện.
Không có gì
Letti e cuscini comodi, staff disponibile e gentile e posizione centrale. Buona la colazione.
Good location, offered lots of activities, good social vibe, nice pool, cute cats
There was a volunteer staff who was creepy and unpleasant (Phoenix) - he got in arguments with other guests every night I was there and creeped me out to the point that I avoided socialising there.
La ubicación es lo único que me ha gustado
La habitación individual no tenía ventana, tenía muchísima humedad, la llave iba muy mal y estaba en un edificio adyacente al hotel sin vigilancia, daba miedo. A parte, la piscina estaba permanentemente cerrada. Para terminar había un dinamizador de la zona común, un chico occidental mayor que era muy empalagoso con las chicas jóvenes. Era muy desagradable y nunca había tranquilidad en el "jardín". Jastan en el desayuno estaba por allí molestando. Finalmente decidí irme un día antes y he encontrado un hostal compartiendo habitación mil veces mejor, y con piscina!!! (Hay que decir, que sin yo pedirlo me devolvieron el dinero de la habitación de un día)
Auberge peu cher, chambre assez grande, petit déjeuner sympa. Il y a différentes animations tous les soirs, ce qui est vraiment sympa, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Sympa pour rencontrer des gens. Le restaurant de l’auberge est très bon et il y a également un bar.
Le ménage pourrait être fait de manière plus approfondie, notamment dans les salles de bain et le sol du dortoir. La piscine est verte de saleté et ne donne malheureusement pas trop envie de se baigner. Ça mériterait un bon nettoyage.
La possibilité de louer un scooter sur place. Assez proche du centre-ville, mais assez calme quand même. Petit déjeuner correct
J’ai croisé un rat… je ne crois pas qu’il avait réservé une chambre lui aussi.
gratis Bonbons an der Rezeption, Betten waren sehr bequem
Es gab keinen Abstellplatz am Bett für Handy, etc. Frühstück war zu wenig.
Schöner Platz für junge Leute
L’auberge est très agréable, avec une ambiance chill, et plusieurs endroits où se poser. Les chambres privées sont propres et au calme, à l’écart de l’animation,Le restaurant est excellent, et offre un très bon rapport qualité prix.
Ce sont des détails : une paroi de douche permettrait de ne pas salir la salle de bains, les transats de la piscine sont cassés, ils pourraient être remplacés.
Great place nice staff perfect
Ein echt gutes und sauberes Hostel und perfekt geeignet für Backpacker. Jeden Abend wird etwas zur Unterhaltung angeboten und man kann gut andere Leute kennenlernen. Auch das Personal war Mega nett und hatte uns bei der Planung des Weiteren Trips geholfen:)
The daily social activities (trivia was epic!), the focus on art and ethnic culture, the attentiveness of the staff. If you’re looking for a place to stay on Cat Ba Island, this is hands-down it. We stayed at Buffalo for 3 nights and prefer Secret Garden BY FAR!!
They played exclusively AI music in the morning and evening—— strangely, it was AI generated Christian worship music…? Find a better playlist than this please
L’ambiance et le design
Le petit dejeuné pas assez copieux
Pretty much everything.
Nothing really. A few stairs to climb to get to my room on 4th floor but it’s a hostel.
Ostello molto curato e accogliente. Staff gentilissimo e bravo nel dare suggerimenti. Camera spaziosa e arredata con attenzione. Letti comodi. Colazione disponibile biliardo e ambiente internazionale. Consiglio sicuramente.
Muy buena ubicación, muchas actividades y alternativas. Estaba limpio y se conoce mucha gente
Everything was excellent! Random social event every night. Staff were amazing and able to solve my requests actively.
The pool is filled with moss & slippery
Emplacement proche du centre. Espaces commun sympathique, cuisine bonnes et ouverte à tout heure. Location de scooter .
Personnel non serviable. J’ai été malade et ils ne m’ont pas aidé à ce sujet ! Les chambres sont au dessus des espaces communs, et ne sont pas bien isolées. On entend le karaoké dans notre chambre comme si on y était jusqu’à 23h !
Everything
Nothing
L’ambiance était superbe, le personnel également
le restaurant est top, bonne cuisine.
Das Essen, der Pool und das nette Personal
First of all, the personnel were marvellous. I would like especially to highlight Ms. Trang receptionist. She provided fully comprehensive guide for accommodating and helped me with several other matters as well. In the dormitory the temperature was comfortable and pleasantly cold. Billiards free, swimming pool and many places for sitting and chilling. Live music, cozy atmosphere
Nice location, staff was helpful, comfortable apartment
Great welcome, everything was perfect! I especially thank Trang and Henry for their kindness.
Nhân viên nhiệt tình, chỗ ở sạch sẽ, có nhiều chương trình buổi tối.
Vì là phòng ktx nên sẽ ko thoải mái như phòng riêng rồi, nhưng bạn cùng phòng lịch sự, giữ trật tự. Có cái cửa ra vào lúc đóng hay gây ra tiếng ồn.
