A lovely homestay with friendly owners in a very good location. I spent 2 nights here in standard room. The room was clean enough and big. Just 5-10 mins walk to Old town and night market and other tourist places but in a quiet area. The family was very helpful and welcoming. Grab car from here back to DAD was VND 330,000 but they could book me with much lower price. They have the breakfast and also a bike and motorbike for rent. I highly recommend this place for a family or single travelles who want to stay in a quiet place at a budget price

What fantastic service, so friendly and helpful
1st staying in a homestay... very enjoyable, more like a small boutique hotel. The room was spacious, very comfortable bed, very good AC and excellent wifi. The best thing about the stay is the family that runs it, absolutely top class, so friendly and really helpful, will organise tours, trips and taxis for you but without the big sales push. Lastly, it is set back from the main street and is nice and quiet. It took about 10mins walk to get to the old town but still an enjoyable walk, decent local coffee and food nearby, a small minimart about 50m away,

Okay stay
It's a cute place that feels more like a guest house versus a traditional hotel. Hence the "home stay". Our room was spacious. You have to take off your shoes before entering the house. You have to wear house slippers, which they provide one pair for you in the room. This doesn't help since there was 3 of us. So I just wore my socks, which got really dirty on the first day we arrived. Unsure how often they sweep the floors? They have a garden area with lots of plants. It's nice but I think its a haven for bugs. I got bit like crazy here by mosquitos. I only sprayed OFF bug spray on my lower legs since I wore pants to sleep. I didn't know they can penetrate through pants so the mosquitos had a feast on me on my upper legs. Unsure I can blame this on the hotel since my mom and bro didn't get bit. It's my own problem with having blood that draws bugs to me. :( The staff is very friendly and helpful on booking tours. Very informative and nice people. The location is perfect since it is within walking distance to the market, and there are tons of amazing food by our hotel. The place is nice but it's very humid indoors. Don't know if it's like that in Hoi An in general or its the hotel? Overall, it was an okay stay and served its purpose. Great price

Everything about this home stay is fantastic!
Myself and 2 friends stayed at this wonderful place for 3 nights and enjoyed our time here immensely. The family are lovely, welcoming, friendly people and are happy to help in any way they can to make your stay unforgettable. We had an extra day in Hoi An because of catching a late train and even though we were technically checked out, the daughter in law (who is just the sweetest person!) let us shower, recharge and chill out in the lobby with her :) we greatly appreciated that after a hot day out in the town! Aside from the family, the rooms were beautiful, clean and spacious. You can rent bicycles and motorbikes which made our stay so incredibly varied, from visiting the town to the surrounding villages and even My Son! Breakfast was delicious and the location is brilliant..10 minutes to the centre of town walking. Thank you so much for a lovely time in Hoi An :)

We stayed here for 10 days and this hotel really felt like home. The rooms are big with high ceilings, comfortable bed, good shower, air conditioned worked great, WiFi non stop, 0 problems and good speed. Not far at all from the old city. Plenty of local restaurants and shops. The people running the hotel are really nice, polite and helpful. After staying at several low cost hotels in southeast Asia I can assure you that this place is of a very high standard. I highly recommend it.

Really close to town 10 mins walking or even quicker on the bike- quiet road so very peaceful. Bikes available at 20,000 per day and a good breakfast also available at 40,000 per day. Very reasonable- spacious rooms with good aircon and the staff are lovely. Would stay here again. Thanks for everything!

Good budget hotel, not far from the old town
A great simple budget hotel - clean, tidy, with everything you would expect and a comfy bed compared to a lot of budget Vietnam hotels. The staff were friendly and helped us with directions and arranged a cheap car to the airport for us. It is about a 10 min walk from the old town area and they also have free bicycles for you to use :) The only major downfall was the heat - the air con in our particular room was not sufficient in cooling the room down :(

Nice family run place
I stayed 3 nights and thought the room was better than the average Vietnam hotel. The room itself was basic, but had everything you'd need i.e. desk, chair, fridge. The bathroom is great having been done to a modern standard. The air con and WiFi worked great too. So all great value for money Only downside of the room were about dozen ants in my room one night, but that Asia for you. Location wise, Hoi An Old Town is about 10 minutes walk. Local eateries are plenty close by. More upscale dining is either in the old town or 20 minutes walk away. This is more of a guest house than a homestay, unless you're invited to the family gathering at the weekend. The family who run the place are super nice, speak decent level of English and are happy to talk to the guests.

Cay Cau Areca Homestay
It's a guesthouse with a very homey feel. It's down a very quiet side street, but close enough to walk to the old city, and to cycle to the beach. They lend you cycles. Some of the staff speak very good English and can help explain things well. The rooms are open and airy, with lovely windows, and are very clean. The room rates are very reasonable. I really recommend this guesthouse.

The family is very kind to us and the room is okay as the price is very cheap. We back home very late after count down and feel sorry to wake them up at midnight, but they are still very nice. However, the airconditioner is a little bit noisy, and no hair dryer at the room. But afterall is very nice:))

Really cute homestay with very nice staff that are always eager to help! Maybe it is not the most up to date place but for that price you can not ask for more. The breakfast options are a bit limited but its okey, you can rent a bike or motorbike from them if you want to go the beach or explore the areas around. Very close to the center of Hoi An.

Reasonable price and lovely place. The bed was a little hard. 호이안 구 시가지와는 걸어서 10-15분정도 떨어져 있기는 하지만 여기도 나름 코지한 동네입니다. 홈스테이라 그런지 정원같은게 딸린 일반 가정집 모양인데, 호텔이나 호스텔들과 다른 나름 예쁘고 환한 공간감을 느끼실수 있을 겁니다. 큰 기대가 없다면 가격대비 만족스럽게 지낼 수 있을 것 같습니다. 패밀리 룸에 묵었었는데요 (더블1+트윈1) 매트리스가 싸구려인지 침대들이 전부 좀 딱딱해서 그점은 좀 아쉬웠습니다. 직원들은 친절했습니다.
