- My husband and I booked the private room with a bathroom for one night. We didn’t realize the bathroom is technically outside with no roof so the bedroom was filled with mosquitos. After we killed about 15 and saw many more still we decided we didn’t want to stay as there is no bug net on the bed. We asked for a refund after being there for 10 minutes and the front desk refused us a refund telling us to just not open our bathroom door. We immediately booked another hotel for only 10 USD more with really nice service and facilities.

When we arrived our beds were wet and the entire place was damp and smelled of mildew. We then found mold spores all over our pillows and when we asked to get new sheets on our beds and pillows, they only replaced the pillows. We decided we couldn’t stay and when we asked for a refund (and even a partial refund) they completely refused! What made it worse was when we asked for them to change the sheets and then later for the refund they smirked and laughed. I do not recommend a-mâze house at ...

I got a private room, but despite being clean and tidy, I don’t think it was worth it

+ La struttura era sorvegliata 24 su 24 e il personale era gentile.

- La nostra camera privata era sporca e puzzolente, c’era un cavedio aperto nel bagno, quindi entrava la pioggia.

The hosts are not very welcoming, barely speaking English. They don't block their dorm rooms online (on Hostelworld) if they are already booked through other platforms so it can happen to you that your room isn't even available. Their "included breakfast" is this slimy tofu-mushroom snack rolled in bamboo leafs (nothing else to choose from). Room (Attic) + Showers are ok. Would go with another one next time

We booked the standard double bed private room. It didn’t look like the photos, it is painted dark. The curtains did not cover the window properly with a window opposite, dead cockroach on the floor and noisy rats in the roof, unsettling. The room also had a damp/musty/stale smell which made our clothes smell. If the service by staff was excellent this could be easier to overlook, but we didn’t feel too warmly welcomed. The price is high for the quality of room and shared bathroom.

Die Atmosphäre im Hostel war sehr komisch, ich habe mich so unwohl gefühlt wie nirgends zuvor. An der Rezeption hat das Personal Abends laut Videospiele gespielt oder war auf tiktok und das Frühstück war irgendwas undefinierbares was ich ungern essen wollte. Ich war nur eine Nacht dort und mehr als froh wieder gehen zu können.

We unfortunately checked out pretty immediately because the sound of rats chewing in the ceiling was so loud we couldn’t sleep. Staff were lovely though and was walking distance to the imperial city.

I was staying in a “basic single room” and tbh I expected something different. If you book that room, then you’re in the attic and in one of 6 cabins. There’s walls around you but they don’t go all the way up, so 0 soundproofing, no privacy for calls or anything. The walls are translucent, so if anyone turns on the light in the attic, your cabin will be flooded with light. In the “private room” there’s a matrace on the floor and a fan, that’s it.

Ok hostel but wouldn’t bother paying extra for a separate room. They are all open at the top and the walls are translucent. Even if someone only has the small light on inside their room it lights up your whole room as well, it’s especially bad if the hall light is on as well. My pillow case also wasn’t very clean and the whole room had a bit of a musty smell. The communal areas were all clean and the staff were lovely. Hostel right next to the citadel (not the city centre)

Wat een prachtig hostel is dit. Het personeel is enorm vriendelijk en staan altijd voor je klaar. De eenpersoonskamers zijn geweldig en hebben alles wat je nodig hebt. De badkamer is ook zeer proper.

This place was amazing. The home owners are lovely, although they don’t speak English they share things, they smile and they are always there to help (they have got a lovely English speaking girl that works there). The house itself was beautiful, lots of light and greenery. Get space I will be returning

+ Important to know that the private rooms in the attic are not closed off at the top, so more of a dorm feeling with shared light and AC, just with walls and bigger mattress. However the light actually comes through quite a bit. Reasonable for the price, but good to know. Breakfast was basic. Rooms could use some hooks to hang things. Staff was nice and let me shower once more although I had already checked out. Good location, clean!!

+ A-mâze thực sự là amazing. Các bạn nhân viên rất nhiệt tình, chu đáo để khách có trải nghiệm tốt nhất. Chỗ ở có cho mượn xe đạp miễn phí, có nước lọc, trà, cà phê, mứt gừng, bánh quy tai heo cũng miễn phí cho khách luôn. Bữa sáng đơn giản. Giường khá thoải mái và thoáng so với các dorm khác. Mỗi gường đều có cửa sổ riêng, tủ để đồ riêng cũng rộng rãi. Nhà thiết kế đẹp, sạch sẽ. Home còn giúp tôi mua quà Huế về cho mọi người ở văn phòng, bánh Huế ăn ngon, ai cũng khen. A-mâze còn có nhiều sách hay bạn có thể đọc trong thời gian lưu trú.

- Cái này cũng hơi khó, không phải lỗi của homestay. Do tôi ở dorm, đôi khi bạn cùng phòng chỉnh điều hoà xuống còn 18-19 độ rét run. Ở dorm thì phải chấp nhận điều này có thể xảy ra. Tôi thấy cũng có bạn bật điều hoà khi cửa sổ, cửa phòng còn đang mở. Có lẽ home có thể làm một tờ giấy nhắc nhở nên đóng cửa sổ, cửa ra vào khi bật điều hoà.

I really enjoyed this hostel. The location is perfect because you're very close to the citadel and away from the touristy center so it's quiet and feels local. The host was very friendly and the breakfast was nice. I booked a city tour with the hostel which was very good and I highly recommend it. The only downside in my opinion is that the private rooms don't feel like private rooms because of the paper-thin Japanese-style walls and the fact it was so small and everything was shared.

Both the beds and the breakfast were good. However, we found that there were lots of bugs/mosquitoes in the bedroom and the bathrooms. The hot water also ran out every time I showered.

The hostel itself was fine but the people staying there were so odd. Definitely not social by any means. Hostel didn’t really have anyone our age and everyone was kinda rude. Reception were nice and accommodating. Not loads of seating spaces out of the room & about 40 min walk into centre.

This hostel was one of my favourites on my south east Asia trip. Quit and away from the tourist strip, it provides tranquility. The staff are great - I’d gotten into a nasty moped accident a few days before coming here and they let me move my reservation for free (because I was stranded in Hoi An!) plus they helped carry my bags up and down the stairs to the top floor and ensured I had a bottom bunk. They also welcomed us all to a family lunch for free which was so nice. 100/10!!
