The owner is amazingly kind and helpful! She was very attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Room was clean and well appointed. Lovely swimming pool. They also have a travel agency and offer tours, transportation as well as bike and motor bike rental… everything you need for your stay in Tam Coc.

Very good value for money and great service.
Location is perfect if you want to be close to everything. The rooms are very comfortable and well maintained with everything you need. There is a pool that is very nice to cool down in when you return from the days activities. Breakfast was tasty and prepared per order.
The owner Ms Hue was wonderful. She was helpful and friendly with everything you need. It was like staying with family and I can highly recommend them for providing a great experience at a very reasonable price.

Clean, comfortable, close to all the shops and travel booking businesses. The bus from hoi an will drop you off within a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast is included and cooked per order and is delicious. Bicycle and moterbike rental on property and Ly was a great resource for trip itineraries. Highly recommended!

We can’t say enough about the friendly, genuine and reliable service we received at Lys Homestay. Nothing was ever too much trouble, they went over and above our expectations. Unfortunately I fell ill whilst on holiday, however Lys arranged a doctor immediately which put us both at ease. Lys arranged our transport for our medical visit plus all our day trips and for the next trek of our holiday destination. Lys,s local knowledge of the area was super helpful and she was a pleasure to deal with. This service excellence was also felt by all other family members during our stay. Perfectly situated with a short walk to restaurants and shopping.We highly recommend Lys Homestay. We know we will definitely return here on our next stay. Thanks Lys and all the family for making our stay such a memorable one.

Definitely recommend Lys home stay and actually wish I had a second night there!
The staff is so helpful and arranged everything I needed. I was travelling solo and they organized a motorbike guide to take me to all the sites which was a perfect way to get around. They also offer bicycle rentals, and Hang Mus is a really nice afternoon bike ride away from the home stay.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was great!
Highly recommend staying here and am very grateful for all of the amazing help they provided.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lys Homestay. So many positives - the owner genuinely wanted to help us, the rooms were large, clean and quiet with high quality furnishings, breakfasts were delicious and the location perfect, far enough from the noise, but just a few mins walk from everything. Only comment is that their rental bikes needed maintenance. Highly recommended!

Location is great for taking a bicycle to Bich Dong & Hang Mua. The owners arranged a motorbike taxi to take me to Trang An for the boat tour when I arrived & the driver waited to take me back. Everyone is so helpful & welcoming!

We had a lovely stay at Lys while exploring Tam Coc and the surrounding area. Ly and her family were so welcoming and helpful!
The room was clean and spacious. The location was quiet, but you won’t miss out as it’s only a short walk to all of the restaurants and bars (also recommend Family Restaurant for food). Would stay again if we go back to Tam Coc :)

We loved our stay at Lys Homestay, the hosts are very accommodating and considerate and the rooms are very nice. The location is tucked away so it's quieter with less traffic which we appreciated and slept soundly, although the neighboring rooster might wake you up early. Even so, it's in a prime location to walk to plenty of good restaurants and only a 10-20 minute bike ride to activities
At Ly's we rented a motorbike to drive to the Trang An boat tour and Bird garden. This was our first time riding a motorbike and they even took time and taught us how to drive it which was beyond what I expected.
We also took advantage of doing our laundry here and it was ready within the day, neatly folded and warm! They charge the laundry by weight.
When we checked out but still had to stick around town before our late night train to Hue, they stored our luggage for us so we could go out, and they even called the taxi for us to the train station and sent us on our way with two bananas and water bottles and a hug! The best and most wholesome place I've stayed at so far, I would recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed our stay at Lys Homestay, the owner and her family were very helpful and told us what to expect at various places so we weren’t surprised or taken advantage of. They arranged a driver for us who drove very safely and we felt very comfortable throughout. The homestay is in a great location and very close to the lake. Would encourage you to stay at Lys Homestay.

Best place to stay!
We loved our stay here. The service was absolutely excellent. Our host was so helpful and gave us good ideas about where to go. We rented a motor bike from her and it was great. We did bikes the next day and it was also terrific. Our breakfast was delicious. She only charged two dollars a kilogram for laundry and that was great also.
