2-night trip

10/10

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

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!

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.

My stay was excellent. The staff is so welcoming and accommodating. The location is great with river access and biking distance to the busy area of town. I would definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

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.

The owner of the property had a drunken party on the deck below our bungalow. It went on from 8pm until 2am. We did not sleep. There is hot water for about 1 minute. The bed sagged and was really old. This is a run down hostel. It shouldn’t be on Expedia. We left 2 nights early but paid for 4 nights

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.

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.

2-night trip

10/10

We stayed at Carambola for one night, after our two-day trek with Oxalis tours. It was perfect. The location is very close to the tour company, and the hospitality and friendliness of Ha and his family was genuinely warm. Rooms are super comfortable. Food is delicious. Perfect place to rest and regroup while traveling and after a long hike. Thank you, Ha!

10/10

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.

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!

The owner Ha picked us up from the station and we received welcome drinks on arrival. Our bungalow was very clean and located right on the river with incredible views. The Lovely family also helped us book a great tour and bikes during our stay. We only stayed 2 nights, I wish we stayed longer!

Kudos to Mr Ha, owner of Carambola Bungalow. He has been very polite and prompt with our replies, punctual with pick up (from Dong Hoi Train Station), service rendered by all of his staff was brilliant. We will like to thank him for offering us a shower place (after our cave tour). PS: Our favourite drink at their place is ‘Yougurt Drink’.

Friendly staff, fab view & soak up the local culture (including the call to early morning mass and night local fishing fascinating). Food typical of Vietnam. For the price this was excellent value for money, staff friendly & helpful. Location 2km out of the main town but we got a lift to the bus and picked up by the tour co for the cave tour.

The place was fantastic... location was great.. far enough away from the party bars for early sleep, but close enough to easily go to the bars if you wanted...
