Bed bug reports

Confirmed Hostelworld
6 bed dorm - clean however there are no lockers (except small safety deposit box) and no curtains. Moved to private because I was unwell. The owner was accommodating. However, as we moved over, we noticed bed bugs. We are familiar with bed bugs from prior hostels. We notified staff about the bedbugs (with video evidence) discreetly to not alarm guests. We were frustrated by our dismissal as simply ‘anxious,’ and were told it was just Vietnamese spiders (100% bed bugs). We moved hostels.

Vibe Analysis
Family dinners are a core part of the stay here. They make it easy to meet other people and give the place a homestay feel without turning it into a loud scene. The rooms are generally clean, comfortable, and quiet, with fresh bedding, tidy bathrooms, and a pool for cooling off. Breakfast is a strong point too, especially the home-cooked plates and banana pancakes. Bikes and scooters are available, which helps with the distance from the old town. The setting is calmer than the center, with a quieter base near rice fields and an easy ride into town. It suits travelers who want warm personal help with tours, transport, and day trips, plus a place that feels social but still relaxed.
Signals to check
- It sits outside the old town, so walking everywhere may be less convenient.
- The atmosphere can feel a bit strict or forced if you want a fully easygoing, low-contact stay.
- One room had a drain smell and clogged drains.
- Some extras may be charged separately, including filtered water or breakfast add-ons.
