Highway 20 Homestay

This is an interesting place to stay in Phong Nha, tan by Vinh and his family. Vinh speaks excellent English and can get you sorted for guided tours of the caves with various options, being a guide himself. He and his family are very attentive and made sure we had everything we need, from hard earned cold beer to breakfast ready and waiting before our early tour start. They also did two lots of laundry for us at a good price and quick turn around. The rooms themselves are beautifully designed wooden cabins, which whilst solid, still allow in the bugs etc - though we didn’t see many. The main issue was our bathroom - again a beautiful design with large pebbles used as the base for the flooring and drainage, and also the basin, which works in theory but doesn’t feel particularly clean, especially when the odd bug crawls up through them when you turn the water on. The drainage on the sink as well as the toilet hose was leaking which slowly created a bigger and bigger pool over the course of our 2 day stay. One perk of the bathroom was the hot water and excellent pressure. Main issue was the dog with severe mange and what looks like a parasitic infection of the eyes, huge angry red swollen eyelids with active discharge, not fair on the dog, or pleasant to be around. Owner claims the dog is recovering, I would argue it’s past that point without hospitalisation. They do have another dog that is very friendly and playful, and tends to bark at the other to get rid of it. If bugs and sick animals don’t phase you then this is an excellent place to go and stay in touch with nature with a beautiful and attentive family.

Немного далековато от центра поселка,, пешком минут 20. Если хорошая погода , это нормально и можно прогуляться. Но я попала под ливни и ехала на такси до пристани а потом пещеры вообще закрыли. Для тех кто на байке это просто идейный вариант. Двор красивый , ухоженный, номер уютный и очень стильный. Завтракать, ужинать можно во дворе, еда вкусная. В целом все хорошо

The staff were helpful and breakfast was great! The amenities were quite basic and the mattresses were hard.

Pretty property, simple room, helpful host. Cheap! I am really glad that we had a chance to stay with Vinh and his family at their homestay. The home cooked food was some of the best we've had in SE Asia! Vinh was an excellent host. He arranged cave tours, loaned us his bikes, found transportation from the airport, and even got his uncle to drive us seven hours south yo Hoi An. The ride was in a brand new 4-door HiLux at a very reasonable rate. The room and attached bath were simple; comparable to a US State Park cabin. Regular flooding along the river means that everything is a bit musty, including the room. But the beds are clean and comfortable and the price is embarrassingly low. So we left Vinh a nice tip.
