Green Riverside Cosy Home

Firstly, this is a hotel for very young backpackers who live in the hostel dorms. The private rooms are huge and clean enough, but could still use a good scrub. The owner Linh pushes her tours. I did Abandoned Valley E Cave and Golden Cave through her. Again, if you’re looking for a young backpacker, tour guide blasting music through the forest kind of experience, it’s fine.

This was my first experience in a home stay in Vietnam. It was a wonderful experience, the staff are the family who live there and they are friendly and provide helpful information. We stayed with the sister homestay which is just behind, known as garden house homestay. The rooms are clean and tidy, with good bathroom. I stayed with 2 others. Passing through on our motorcycle trips. We enjoyed lovely dinners with the family. All in all, I would recommend this homestay if you would like an authentic Vietnamese experience

Easy to find. It’s located beside a river. But far from center. So difficult to find a restaurant or small store. You must walk about 1.5-2km if you want to buy something. Quiet. But a little smelly and old. Food is very expensive. Too much mosquitoes, especially in night time.

Beautiful hostel, beautiful area, owner Linh is an absolute hero who will go above and beyond for you. This woman is a machine she is on the go 24/7 catering for all her guests needs!! Family dinner is a beautiful meal also and a beautiful experience to meet new people. Highly recommend the abandoned valley tour which Linh will tell you about

What an amazing stay. Linh was the best host, lovely, attentive and very accommodating. She was always easy to contact if you needed anything and helped us organise everything for our short stay, from the coolest cave tour to the sleeper bus for our next journey. She also offers family dinners which we highly recommend as you can get delicious Vietnamese food easily. Linh made sure that we were well looked after, and made it a smooth and fun stay in Phong Nha. Her homestay was very relaxed and had a lovely family atmosphere. It was a great place where you can chill out, so if you’re looking for that kind of stay, this one is for you. Our room was beautiful to stay in and the homestay is close to the river so you can get some amazing views just a short walk away. Overall, this place has everything you need, and we would highly recommend! Would definitely stay again.

If you are searching for a cute hostel, a very nice host and a helping hand - green riverside cosy home is definitely a way to go. beautiful rooms, nice breakfast and overall great services (concerning tour bookings, rentals, information, etc.) We even stayed a night longer.
