Shalva Homestay Cat Ba

+ Tout et surtout l'extrême amabilité de notre hôte.

- Rien

+ This is quite simply the best place we've stayed at in Viet Nam, and also one of the best I've stayed at worldwide. It is a real homestay - meaning you'll have the chance to meet the family if you want to. They're all very welcoming, kind hearted and nice people, that will assist you with bookings, tell you about the good spots on the island and if you're interested in that, organize tours (we did the boat & kayak tout which was wonderful). For 50.000 and you can have a really good freshly cooked breakfast as well. The homestay is clean, modern, calm and situated outside of the main tourist area. You have many small shops, street food places and restaurants in the surrounding streets where locals go about their daily lives and you'll find anything you need. I'll most definitely come back here if I go back to cat ba.

+ Le patron est très sympathique et rend service.

+ The best homestay on my 5 week journey in Vietnam. It was clean, comfortable and the host was so incredibly kind and helpful. We booked the Boat Tour with his company and it was the best desicion! I would come back any time!

+ Très bon accueil, famille très agréable, maison et chambre très jolies, bien aménagées, chambre spacieuse et très propre lumineuse. Possibilité de location de scooter et service de lessive, possibilité de petit déjeuner à prix très raisonnable (30 000 VND le café ou le noddle soup egg ou pancake...) et très bon 🙃. Organisation de circuits. Très bons échanges. Nous sommes restés 4 nuits au lieu de 2 initialement prévues. Nous recommandons vivement !!! Merci 🙏🙏🙏

- Rien 😊

+ One of the best stays we had in Vietnam - the owner is caring and very welcoming. Decent breakfast as well. Clean, tidy, a nice place to be. With the owner's help, we bought two tours: Lan Ha Bay - recommended. Treking tour (whole day) in Cat Ba island - not recommended.

- A bit further away from the city.

+ Wonderfully clean and orderly propery with a soft place to sleep. Great location to access rock climbing and beach activities in a quiet neighborhood. Great coffee!

- Nothing bad, but beware of the stairs if you book an upstairs room and are out of shape.

+ Tout...Et surtout la gentillesse, la disponibilité de notre hôte, M. Truong. On recommande à 300%

- Rien

+ Heerlijke mango-pannekoekje bij het ontbijt

- Niets. Alles was uitstekend

+ Everything was amazing nice family helped with everything for a cheap price recomnd going fishing with them 💪

+ Le propriétaire était vraiment adorable. Il a tout organisé pour nous: croisière sur la Bai de Lan Ha, bus pour aller à Ninh Binh. C’était super propre.

+ Un grand homestay propre et tres confortable. Nous ne sommes restés qu'une seule nuit, mais cette famille nous a fait nous y sentir vraiment bien. Le petit déjeuner est très bon pour 60k dongs. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

- Everything was perfect

+ Quiet location, great rooms, family very friendly and helpful, assisted with bookings for tours and buses

- Nothing

+ Excellent value for money. The hosts were very friendly. The room was clean. It's about a 15-minute walk to the town center, which isn't a problem at all. The room was very quiet. We were able to leave our luggage and even take a shower, as we went hiking after checking out.

- The breakfast selection could be more varied. But you don't have to eat there. There are plenty of other options within walking distance.

+ It's located out of the city center so it's quite but, to be honest, at the beginning of March the whole city was quite (not too many tourists).

- There are only two things I can complain about. First, on some days dailyhousekeeping was skipped. Second, an electric kettle mentioned in the description wasn't present in the room (but there were two cups).
