Phong Nha Farmstay

Phong Nha Farmstay is totally unique from anywhere we have stayed before. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always eager to help, making our stay feel personal and special. We were lucky to receive a villa upgrade, and it was absolutely beautiful—spacious, comfortable, the hotel offers stunning views of the peaceful countryside. The hotel itself is fascinating, with rich historical ties to the Vietnam War, adding an extra layer of depth to our experience. One of the most memorable aspects was the transportation—riding around in old war vehicles that the hotel provided for free to get us to and from our lovely villa, this added a truly immersive and adventurous touch to exploring the area. Whether it was touring the stunning Phong Nha area or simply relaxing at the Farmstay, every moment was amazing. The staff were 5* anything we needed they did, from getting all our washing done last minute to making us pack lunch for our departure train nothing was any trouble for them. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience with history, comfort, and genuine hospitality, Phong Nha Farmstay is the perfect place. We can’t wait to return! Thankyou for your amazing hospitality we were sad to leave.

We loved our time at the Farmstay. The three day itinery that was planned for us was perfect and allowed us to explore the area and also have time to relax at home. The restaurant menu had a wide choice of food and drinks, and the staff are all amazing. The owners are always around if you have any questions. Highly recommended.

The communication was great, they reached out to me to book our transportation to the hotel. Once we got there the staff helped us book all the tours we wanted to do, the first one was the phong Nha cave boat tour. Then we came back and our bags were already in the room. The room was spacious and pristine. I got sick the second day but my husband was still able to do the tour we planned. The staff provided anything they could so I could feel better, they even made me a special rice pudding. The staff was amazing. We’re definitely coming back so I can do the Mada Valley Trek. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to disconnect in a beautiful and serene place with awesome staff and food.

Every member of staff there is absolutely fantastic, from the owners to the receptionists, you feel like family there. So helpful and knowledgeable with many stories to share. Cosy fires every evening, perfect to sit by and enjoy a beer or two, and talk to the other guests or Ben and his family and friends. The food was really tasty, one night they had a special dish of Butter Chicken curry and it was the best meal I’ve had in a while. And their gravy with the pies is 10/10 it’s a must-try. You can really learn about the village from everyone, especially on the free 7am morning walking tour, or on a sunset safari in a jeep for a low fee. Bicycles for free, really nice cycle to attractions such as the duck stop. Scooters available to rent. One shuttle to their other property/main town in the morning 10am and then one back at 16:45 which was helpful, or they will arrange during the day for 100/200. We had a pet gecko in our bathroom the entire stay, we called him Steve, we will miss him dearly.

Excellent helpful hosts that bend over backwards to help you. They are constantly ‘spinning plates’ so their guests are happy. Nice room. Very quiet apart from the usual cockerels.
