24 Sept 2025Such a cozy and welcoming place. The rooms are clean, bright, and comfortable, with a relaxing atmosphere. The host is super friendly and always willing to help with local tips

26 Sept 2025Our stay was fantastic thanks to Viet’s hospitality. He not only prepared everything we needed at the hotel but also helped us plan two unforgettable trips – hiking in Cat Ba National Park and cruising in Lan Ha Bay. He even sorted out our transfers to and from Hanoi, which saved us a lot of hassle.

26 Dec 2025This home stay is a very personalized HS.
The owners Viet and Linda and their staff, will go above and beyond to take care of everything you need.
I will recommend a stay here to my family and friends , as it has been such a memorable experience.
Special thanks to you Viet and looking forward to getting in touch in the future , to look into staying at your Sapa HS too.

8 Feb 2026Staff were great and very helpful. Room could have been better and No TV. Is not close to town which is fine but it forces you to rent a bike to get around or get a cab. Overall experience, good.

15 Nov 2025This beautiful little budget resort is nestled in a valley outside of town. No ocean views here, but in exchange you get serenity, a gorgeous garden, and an attentive staff.
The food is simple and good, I really enjoyed the seafood fried rice. You can walk to the nearby hospital cave, which I found very interesting, but for other attractions they’ll book you a car or rent you a scooter.
I had a few small problems: the room could use a luggage rack or another table/dresser to lay out clothes, we didn’t have a lightbulb in our bedside lamp (they quickly provided one when asked), but overall we had a fantastic experience.
This place is best enjoyed if you have some time to slow down and relax. Spend some time by the pool or the garden, away from the bustle and construction noise of town. We enjoyed hanging out at Serena almost more than the other sights at Cat Ba. We’re already talking about coming back!
Oh, and the bartender makes some excellent cocktails and smoothies!

26 Sept 2025Great location about 15 minutes by scooter from Cat Ba town, ideal for exploring the island. Spacious rooms, freshly cooked meals, and scooters available for rent made our stay very convenient.

26 Apr 2026We loved our stay in Cat Ba! Linda was an amazing host and the staff were so helpful. We had the most delicious hot pot there one evening. Linda helped us with all our planning. It had a quaint garden with puppies running around, and monkeys howling in the distance. A/C worked and our daughter swam in the pool at night. Would recommend if looking for a homestay in the area!

5 Apr 2026The water wasn't working some of the time. Rooms were okay, lots of cracks/openingings in the wall letting bugs in.

Il n’y a pas meilleur endroit où loger à Cat Ba.
La location de scooter sur place est pratique et utile.
