Vacation rentals with a firepit in Cát Hải

I spent two peaceful days in Lan Homestay, just what I needed for a quiet moment alone, away from the hustle and bustle of Cat Ba city. Access is great: a speedboat (between 500k and 700k VND) offers a nice trip into the bay, followed by a small golf cart to the village, already an adventure in itself. Even though there is a little bit of traffic with tourists by bike or hike in the park, the place remains quiet. The setting is beautiful, soothing. The family is adorable, the food delicious (special mention of coconuts ), and the garden is cared for with a lot of love, it feels. The hike nearby is a little strong but the view is worth every drop of sweat. Loved this little cocoon, I was like a queen. Big up to little brother, super attentive and helpful, a pearl 🤗

This homestay is amazing! In Viet Hai village, a traditional Vietnamese village in the middle of a national park. The homestay is gorgeous and Hai and Chilly were helpful, professional, and friendly. The food provided was delicious and the village and surrounding park are bucolic. I recommend this place wholeheartedly!

We found our two-night stay at this Homestay to be perfect. The family is extremely kind and attentive, with the mother being especially sweet. It is clear that a great deal of effort and care is invested by the whole family. The location is also excellent, as it lies exactly between major attractions such as the national park and the town. This allows guests to easily rent a scooter at the accommodation and reach either destination within 10 minutes, as both are connected by a single main road. The price is very reasonable, and the rooms are completely sufficient. We were very satisfied and can highly recommend the place.

This is one of my favourite hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Simone is so warm and lovely as well as her array of animals who me and my boyfriend both fell in love with. Don’t come here if you’re not a fan of animals but otherwise it honestly made our stay so special- the cats would come and sit on our laps and the dogs were equally adorable. The owner of the place was so warm and kind and helped us with recommendations and any questions we had. I would absolutely recommend you coming here- especially if you are missing you furry friends who are back home! The only slight downside was the location as you had to get a taxi into town/hire a bike but that was easy enough- just factor in the cost. Thank you so much! I hope we can come back one day

Thu Ha is the perfect host, getting to the ancient house was both adventurous but also so easy with the help of Thu Ha. We had a wonderful time at the ancient house with the most beautiful view and really good food. It’s a place to find peace and quiet. We would definitely come back, it was the most beautiful place in Vietnam we have been to.

on the last day of our stay, we ran out of fuel and were stranded in the middle of nowhere, just 30mins before our bus to Hanoi. The host saved us, picked is up and we made it just in time. She's the absolute best!
