The Hill Villas

La familia es muy amable y ayuda donde pueda. La piscina limpia. El desayuno simple, pero bueno. Calidad/ precio tiene muy buena relación. La cama es cómoda y tiene cortinas. Para mi, la ubicación era buena porque me gusta estar un poco más alejada de todo. Si quieres tranquilidad... ahí la tienes. Es fácil alquilar una bici o moto, también ahí mismo.

El baño no era limpio, aunque han sido los chicos con los que compartí la habitación, pero se puede mirar de vez en cuando. Además está dentro de la habitación.

Best decor of any of the budget hotels we have stayed in.

Wish room had reflective glass/film as it was on the bottom floor facing the pool. We couldn’t comfortably open our curtains the whole time there. It was also a ways from the main town and couldn’t safely walk because of bridge over the river.

The friendly and helpful host, who can book buses and yours for you. The place is chill, a bit away from the main town full of tourists. You have scooters and bikes available. This is also a restaurant so you don’t have to worry about going to town if you don’t feel like it. Nice place to relax, with the pool and the mountains around

The owner was extremely helpful and nice. They helped with transportation and tour bookings. Would definitely come back.

Staff were super helpful. Food was good and well priced. Pool was great. Views of the area from the accommodation lovely.

The bunk bed mattresses were super hard, main bed was great, though. Because of this, i'd next time book the double suite with two queen beds.The location is outside the main village so prepare to pay for moped hire/taxi. Wasn't an issue for us, though.

Beautiful, comfortable room for a great price. Trung was an outstanding host. Our bus to Phong Nha was late and arrived at 1am but he still drove into town to pick us up and was so friendly. He offered to drive us around to different sites for a low fee. When we checked out, his wife cooked us delicious omelettes with great coffee and he went out to buy us fresh bread. This was the best stay I had in Vietnam!

Big, clean, well equipped room, great location and beautiful vistas. You can get a breakfast for a resaonable price too. Great value for the money, would come back anytime.

there was a very loud party in the neighbouring homestay until late night. This is not the property' or the staff's fault tho. the bathroom door and the room door couldn't be closed.

We had an amazing stay- Very clean, value for money, nice owner very helpful the room was big and clean, hot shower

The owner was amazing whatever we needed he helped us with it - from booking tickets for the bus, renting scooters to even ordering pizza ☺️

It’s a bit far from all the restaurants however you can rent a bike or a scooter, till 11pm there’s Grab Taxi available

Trung was very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and the food was good. Also rented a scooter for a good price.

The host was so friendly with a free pickup and he gave us a lot of good information about Phong Nha. We could also rent scooters there and could even swim in the hotel after check out. Would recommend!

The rooms were lovely and spacious and the pool was great. The villa was located in a beautiful serene area and was great for relaxing and peace and quiet. The host made our stay so enjoyable and was so helpful with bringing us to nearby attractions and suggesting things for us to do. There was also a restaurant on site which was really convenient. Overall it was a lovely relaxing stay.

The only suggestion would maybe be a few more sun loungers around the pool but apart from that there is no other suggestions everything was great!

It was a great chilled out little place and the staff were super friendly.

Beds were crazy hard (as expected) which made it difficult to sleep given we like a much softer mattress but, given it’s expected here, hardly something to complain about :)

Staff were helpful, drove us around everywhere, we were able to use the facilities after we checked out

Was far from town

The room was spacious and clean. The owner was friendly. He responded to my inquiries promptly. He also picked us up at the train station in Đồng Hới and took us back to the airport (for a price.)

There was no restaurant or coffee shop nearby. I rented a motorbike from the hotel owner so that was not an issue with me. If you don't have a bike that'll be an issue.

Warm hosts, they went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible, even doing a lot of research to help me plan the rest of my trip.

No issues.

Trung and his wife Li were the kindest and most helpful hosts. He made WhatsApp contact before our stay to arrange picking us up from our bus, even though it was a late evening arrival. Our room was clean and comfy, and anything we needed was sorted straight away. We saved $25 per person by booking a cave kayaking tour through him (same tour, there’s only one company operating it). He also helped us change our bus tickets to our next destination and made sure we got on the right bus, and allowed us to keep our motorbike for free for an extra few hours so we could go and take sunset photos.

There’s really nothing negative to say - if there was I have no doubt it would be sorted immediately.

Clean and comfy rooms with a good breakfast.

A bit far from the city center.

Trung and his wife are excellent hosts. Trung picked us up from the airport and when we left he took us to our hotel in Dong Hoi. We had a king room and it was a good size and clean. The bed was extra large and comfortable. Some reviews said the beds were hard but we found ours very comfortable, firm how we like it but not hard. Good size bathroom too, with a spacious sink area just outside the bathroom. For the money this was excellent value. Good breakfast included . We picked this location as it was a bit out of town, so quieter. It was only 5 mins on a scooter that we hired from Trung. We arrived early at 11am and we could get in our room early. Trung advised us which cave to go to on the scooter that afternoon and using google translate his wife helped us choose a day tour for the following day. As we booked the tour through them (no extra cost) we got 1kg free washing and a free dinner. The home cooked dinner was delicious. A choice of non-veg or veg set menus and within each set menu there were choices. We had soup, spring rolls, 2 main course dishes, rice and stir fried veg. There was so much it could have fed 3-4 people. I definitely recommend staying here if you don't mind being a little out of town and using a scooter or taxi. We only went into town once as we were doing cave tours.

Everything was great. The inside of the fridge could have been cleaner but we only kept water bottles in it, so it wasn't a big deal.

We had a lovely stay here! Very good value for the money. The couple who run the place are super helpful and accommodating. They offer inexpensive rides to town, will pick up food in town for you and the provided breakfast in house is great.

Facilities are good quality. Staff very friendly and try to accommodate all requests. Rooms are clean and up to standard, good price.

Beds could more comfortable.

Good, calm location a little but outside of town. The host is very kind and helping. They would pick us up and drop us off in town. They helped out with booking day trip as well as moped and recommendations of where to go.

Nothing to comment on.

We really enjoyed staying at Hill Villas, such a lovely hotel, spotlessly clean, very peaceful, and excellent value for money. Our host Trung and his wife went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and provided many free trips to and from town. We also had some great trips with Trung providing the transport to the paradise cave and botanical park. When our train tickets were cancelled last minute Trung was able to find us bus tickets at very short notice. Highly recommend you stay here in this beautiful part of the world.

Nothing, it was perfect!

Good location. Excellent hosts. Very good breakfast and evening meals available if you want to stay in.

The hotel is lovely, very comfortable beds and really clean rooms!! Trung is also amazing, couldn’t have done more for us, booking transport, day tours and driving us to attractions we wanted to see. The hotel is a few minutes drive from the main road which is nicer as it’s so quiet and in nature! Would definitely recommend!!

Great host who sorted everything we needed. He drive us in and out of town free of charge, had scooters ready for us etc. This is good value for money as it’s very cheap.

Could have been cleaner but not bad at all for the price. Had very hard beds particularly upstairs. We stayed for 3 nights and the room was never serviced in that time but again for the price this was ok. Our host was happy to give us new towels when asked as ours were wet.

Exceptional value for money. Trung the host is absolutely lovely and the highlight of our trip was being invited to his wedding!!!! Congratulations Trung!!! Clean pool. Fridge and kettle in room. Stunning view. Wonderful breakfast, I particularly liked the muesli with yoghurt and milk.

Several kms out of town. Not a nice walk as it’s along a busy main road with no footpath. As a family of 5, was hard to get a 7 seater grab. One person of our 5 ended up walking a few times. 4 seaters are easier to get, could never get a motorcycle grab. Trung organized a 7 seat taxi to take us to town but not cheap at 100k/ one way, and picked us up from town when we couldn’t get a grab once. As per other reviews Trung can usually drop people in town but we didn’t want to bother him around his wedding day! Free bikes would have made a big difference and that’s the only suggestion I’d make to change what they’re already offering.

We got it for a great price and the services offered by the staff brought it up a notch. Free pickup/drop-off to bus stop, free stay in the lobby after check-out, pool after check-out and even shower after the pool. Breakfast was choose one from a menu, good but smaller. Great views.

Location, it was basically outside the village. The free taxi helped a lot to alleviate that issue. In the night, you could hear a bit of forest/jungle noises - not loud but present. Probably will change over time, the neighbouring parcel was ready for construction.

Great place to visit, super friendly people who made my stay great. Good food and happy to give lifts to town and the bus.

We have had an amazing stay in The Hill Villas. Trung and his family are the best hosts ever. Trung works so hard to make everyone feel welcomed and comfortable in his guest house - from picking us up at 4am at the bus station, organising tours, transportation and cooking family dinner, we have loved everything!

The kindest owner ever made our stay extremely enjoyable and pleasant. The room is clean, has everything you need. We were picked up by the host to the bus pick up point for free, 100% would stay here again. Definitely recommend staying here when coming to Phong Nha

Quite clean and very spacious room.

We found ants in the bread during the breakfast. However, the staff immediately provided us with some new fresh bread

The recepción guy insisted to much on selling stuff and he triyed to Get comisión on a bad way with something we Booked outside his place not nice We had two cocoroches in the night I wouldn't recommend it Good breakfast although

Everything! Trung the owner was so nice!!! The room was clean the facilities high level! The value is worth much more than the price! Highly recommended.

Great host, he supports everything. Help us organize a tour into the jungle, beautiful views. Mountain view and swimming pool

The host was very helpful, he helped me with everything from helping us book a tour into the caves and also booking bus tickets for us for our next trip, the house was so warm with Wooden materials, clean spacious room, lovely swimming pool. Highly recommended

The owner was very helpful, picked us up from the morning bus at 4am and offered to drive us to the centre multiple times. Breakfast was also great. He was also helpful when booking cave tours and bus to our next destination. We also could take a shower before leaving for our night bus. The location was quiet with amazing sounds of the jungle in the evening. It was a bit further from the city centre and restaurants, but this was no problem as the owner always offered to drive us.

Far from city centre (for massage or food) but this was fine, because we appreciated the nature and peace of the location.

Trung is a great host, he helped us with everything from picking us up when we got off the bus and organizing us a jungle tour, everything was good, comfortable bed, clean swimming pool will and the breakfast is delicious. Highly recommend everyone to experience here

the bed. too hard.

The host was amazing. He did absolutely everything to make us comfortable. The restaurant food was tasty and reasonably priced. Rooms were a good size. Pool was great. Will definitely stay here again.

The beds were a little hard for my liking but didn't stop us sleeping well.

Owner was very friendly and helpful. Really did his best to help in everything. Pool was great

Great value for money, staff looked after us the entire stay.

N/a

We loved the pool and the huge, spacious rooms. Trung, who built the hotel and hosted us, was very friendly and picked us up from the sleeper bus stop, and dropped us off there when left. The breakfast was delicious, and the location, while out of town, was an easy walk or ride in through the stunning countryside.

While I suppose it's not really a reflection on the the hotel itself, we booked at VIP bus at the hotel which was more expensive than the prices we were quoted in town. The bus was claustrophobic, overbooked and overcrowded, and a pretty unpleasant ride (see Queen Cafe reviews elsewhere). It would have improved out trip to have the transport reflect the quality of the stay. I am not sure if other options were available for where we were going, but I'd suggest shopping around and avoiding the Queen Cafe buses if at all possible (wish we had!).

We arrived at 4 am and we were picked up in the center of phong Nha. We arrived in the room and it was perfect. The next morning we woke up with a beautiful view and a very nice breakfast. He helped us arrange a daytrip and a bus to the next location. All in all, a prefect stay in Phong Nha !!

Nice view from room and shared property. The host was very friendly and helpful in organizing all we needed. Always happy to give good recommendations. Breakfast and dinner at the Homestay are also very good. Bed very comfortable. I would highly recommend anyone here

This is the best place ever! The owner of this place is the most helpful person we have ever had. He waited and picked us up at 4am when we arrived (for free) and dropped us off for free when we left. He helped me plan my activities and let us check in at 4am even though he only charged us for one night. The accommodation itself was amazing, the bed and room was very comfortable, clean with strong air conditioning as well as a lovely atmosphere and a beautiful view. They also gave me a great breakfast. It is best to encourage anyone who comes to Phong Nha to stay at The Hill Villas

Very nice place to stay. Our host was very friendly helping us with daytrips and local suggestions. Would stay here again and can absolutely recommend it

The Hill Villas was a very comfortable stay! The host’s hospitality here is unmatched. He offered to pick us up in town on a few occasions and always had such a kind and friendly demeanor. He gave great suggestions for things to do as well! Very good value and highly recommend!

Nothing!

There was everything that we wanted. we had a private room with two beds (that would easily fit 2 people each, so it was very comfy), shower, towels and ac that worked quite well. The owner, who is such a great guy, helped to organize a tour to the caves, rented scooters, picked us up from the bus station, delivered food and was always there to help. Highly recommended.

Staff very helpful, nice qnd big room

Position not convenient if want to go downtown

The room is big and nice, the host is very helpful, he picked me up for free from the bus point and they booked the tours for me, will definitely come back here again

It was a great stay, the host was very helpful he gave us a free shuttle from the bus point to the hotel and booked a tour for us to experience the jungle and he also booked the bus ticket for our next trip, the room is big and the breakfast is delicious

Nice staff, big room

Bathroom area (sink) not cleaned very often.

Amazing location outside of town that has the best sunsets. Very quiet. Great new and spacious rooms that are well equipped. Host is super helpful, drove me from and to the bus stop on arrival and departure, helped organising onward travel, renting a scooter, getting dinner, late check out...

Nothing

Good service, really nice view as well as the breakfast

- Very friendly staff who helped us with everything such as book an amazing cave-adventure, the transfer to Tam Coc, picked us up and drove us into town for dinner for free at our first evening - We could also use the pool and a shower for free after check-out and he drove us again to our transfer. - very nice included breakfast (no charge for coffee or tea) - quiet location with very nice view - clean room and pool - excellent price-to-value-ratio!

Minor complaints: - the beds were a little hard but still decent - there were some ants in the room but with mosquito repellent it was no problem

The owner was very friendly, he picked us up and took us to the bus stop for free. Helped us book our onward bus ticket and even gave us a room after we had checked out to shower and freshen up as our bus didn't arrive until 9:30pm. Spacious rooms, with a balcony and a large pool! Would definitely stay again.

Ran by a young man named Trung who has been in Phong Nha his whole life and recently opened up this homestay. He's doing a fantastic job. Really nice location, out of the main town but an easy ride in on a scooter which he can provide. The rooms are spacious and the ones upstairs have a great view over the mountains. A lovely selection is available for breakfast. We arrived late and left late and both times Trung drove us to the bus stop which was really appreciated. He also organised our bus tickets for a fair price and let us shower late in the evening after we'd checked out. A very nice experience and we would recommend.

The hosts are amazing, friendly and helpful, they even let us have a shower after checking out. The room is very good value for money

The hot water wasn't that hot.

Very nice staff, very good price

Had a perfect stay at hill villas, really beautiful location with the mountain view. Everything is taken care of for you like pick up from bus station, booking tours, rent motorbike and even booking my onward travel and order food to the hotel for me after a long day trekking.

The staff is very welcoming and nice. They do everything for you to fell good. The place is very beautiful, the view is awesome and the swimming pool enjoyable! The breakfast is perfect !

We booked two nights at this place and it was extremely cheap! But still we had such a nice stay through those two days, the rooms were nice and an okay breakfast. The guy who owned the place didn’t know much English but that was no problem. We just used google translate and it was no biggie. He literally did so many nice things for us like getting dinner for us and driving us around the city for free. Top guy for sure!

one of the best living in Vietnam. Everythink was the best.

lanlord does not speak english

We had a really good time at the hotel! The room is nice, well equipped and comfortable. The staff was really helpful, always doing their best to respond to our needs, you can rent motorbike or book a tour. Special thanks for letting us stay an extra day at the hotel for free after we had a motorbike accident :)

New and well equipped basic facilites, comfortable bed, clean sheets and room. I love the quiet, and surrounding scenic mountain view in sight. Extremely helpful and hospitable staff plus family with two young, well mannered kids. They went all the way to attend to our various requests including free pickup from bus station and to restaurant. Made my best stay in Vietnam!

Housekeeper fell ill and so we didn't have expected toiletries plus towels until we asked for them

I had a great short stay here, liked the service of the staff, will be back again in the near future.

We only stayed here one night but had a great time! Staff picked us up from our bus at 3am for free and gave us a room to sleep. Trung had messaged us asking if we wanted to book a tour. We had a full day tour exploring the dark cave and phong Nha cave, the tour is our highlight of Vietnam so far! When we came back we had a lovely family meal at the hostel and Trung helped organise our transport on to Hue. Breakfast included, comfy beds and a pool! Highly recommend this hostel in Phong Nha
