The staff was lovely and they did everything! The facilities are alright. Sadly I got food poisoning here and my roommate had bed bugs. I guess I was just unlucky!

Huge common spaces. Really easy to meet people if you’re solo. Rooms were spacious and seemed pretty clean. They even come change the bed sheets once a day if you want. Thought I will mention though I personally didn’t have this problem, someone I met had to get moved rooms because of bed bugs so just be aware.

The room was quite damp and the room as well as the sheets smelled a little damp/moldy. I had to cover my pillow with a towel. There were also lots of little bugs in the bed, especially in the garden bungalow (I stayed in two different private rooms). I guess for the price it’s okay but don’t expect too much.

Vibe Analysis
Big, social Phong Nha hostel with pool, live music, and free BBQ energy, but the service history has a few sharp edges.
Signals to check
- Food poisoning after dinner is a one-off risk.
