Excellent hotel. lived up to the picture's expectations. I had a breathtaking view of the landscape. The staff was phenomenal and friendly. Mr. Ha was extremely helpful in assisting me with a tour company and which cave would suit me. Mr. Ha. and his wife and kids are warm and friendly. Thanks for looking out for the scooter and dropping off my USB charger at the bus stop.

This was my groups favourite accommodation while in Vietnam! The rooms are spacious, well kept, and clean. The owners are what really makes this stay special. They went above and beyond, offering to arrange a taxi pickup at 3am and driving us around Phong Nha at a competitive rate. The bungalow is in a great location, it felt very safe and is walking distance from the main street. The food was also amazing, the included breakfast is delicious and we decided to have dinner at the bungalow both nights because it was so good! I would absolutely love to stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Phong Nha!

Alena, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Walking distance from Oxalis and owner was very understanding of caving adventures, assisted with our laundry over night and the lodge has riverside views, was clean and had comfortable bed. Easy to coordinate a ride with the staff there or using grab or town is about 20 min walk away with stops to eat and watch the river along the way. They offer food for all meals and the breakfast was good, cooked to order :) I would stay here again. Plus everyone in town told me they know the owner and are good friends
Briana, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Incredibly good value for very clean accommodation. It is a couple of km outside the main area of Phong Nha, but otherwise great. And the owner offered competitive travel to and from the airport/train station and even to Paradise Cave.

A little older property, but clean and affordable and very helpful staff. A bit far from some things but they have bikes which made exploring easy. Even helped me get a birthday cake for my son while we were there!
Vanessa, 2-night trip

Great location at the quieter end of town, good swimming, friendly service, nice secluded bungalows, free use of bicycles to get around, great advice on tours and what to see and do. We enjoyed every minute of our stay, highly recommend.

The staff at Carambola Bungalow were amazing. They went above and beyond by asking someone to pick us up at 4am and bring us to the place we were staying. The location was beautiful, service was great, and food was awesome. Would stay here again.

10/10 Excellent

Highly recommend this stay as it was a lovely atmosphere, well maintained and great service from the family running it. It looked much better than others in the area, its a bit out of town but thats the attraction and its easy to get a cab or ride into town. dining options around this area are a bit limited but the restaurant service on site is pretty good. If your here for the outdoors, this is a great choice. highly recommended.

ROOM WITH A VIEW

Ok so it wasn’t perfect but it WAS very enjoyable. Room 6 overlooking the river was fantastic. The mountains are beautiful along the river. The staff here is great from the owners to all the staff. The language barrier was a bit of an issue even with google translate and we often didn’t get exactly what we ordered at meal time but everything was delicious. The owner was great to organize everything I needed from taxis to a private guide to the caves. I would return here in a heartbeat and highly recommended.

Mice were climbing on the roof all night, both nights....hear squealing and running around...difficult to sleep as the roof was a thin metal.... Bed was comfortable....
Steve, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property on the river. We stayed in the river facing bungalow. Woke up to a beautiful view everyday. There is not much around but they had all the necessities. One night we walked into town to have dinner, only about 1km away. We were able to rent a scooter directly from property which was very convenient. The owner organized everything for us, in terms of getting to property, tours and then a drive to airport. It was fantastic! They have a restaurant on site where we had dinner and breakfast. Food was excellent!
Andrea, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Incredible experiance.

For our visit of Phong Nha, we chose to book 3 nights at the Carambola Bungalow from Hotels.com. After booking, I called the hotel and arraigned pickup from Dong Hoi Train Station. Mr. Ha and his Driver Phong were waiting for us. Once we arrived at the hotel, we received a warm greeting from the Staff, then taken to our room. The Room was very comfortable, with an incredible view of the River and Mountains. A Refrigerator and Hotpot were provided. Wifi connection was good enough for streaming Netflix. We arrived late, so we decided to eat at the Restaurant. In the morning, We enjoyed the excellent breakfast provided by the Hotel at no extra expense. The Hotel provided us with a Driver that took us to Paradise Cave. He stopped along the way so we could take pictures of the jungle and mountains. The Staff at Carambola Bungalow are exceptional. They provide first class service at an extremely reasonable rate. I enjoyed my interactions with them and consider them as friends. I highly recommend this hotel for value, view, cleanliness, aesthetics, and down to earth Vietnamese Hospitality.

Hotel simple, correct dans sa catégorie

Hotel simple, correct dans sa catégorie. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et très serviables, ce qui sauve le reste. Petit déjeuner médiocre, diner idem. Trop loin du centre pour aller diner le soir, sachant que les Grab ne répondent plus aux demandes passé 18h30

Fantastisk sted

Vi havde sådan en dejlig oplevelse her. Bungalowen var hyggelig, udsigten var god, maden var lækker og servicen var helt i top. Vi fik en masse hjælp til at booke både tour til Phong Nha Cave og bus til næste destination. Vi var så glade for at være her. Det eneste var vejret som var lidt i mod os men det er jo ikke hotellets skyld. 10/10 oplevelse
