Relaxing place to stay, friendly staff with excellent English and great recommendations/willingness to help with travel arrangements, calling taxis, renting bikes, etc. The scenery was stunning and privacy of the bungalows was well thought out. Accommodation was basic, true to the photos and had everything you needed

I've been here twice now and the staff has always been very helpful and friendly. The food is always good, the bedding and towels are always clean, and the setting is great.

We loved the location -- off the beaten path, but very accessible to bikes! We loved the food and convenience of being able to eat all meals at the hostel. The staff was absolutely lovely. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Emily

United States of America

We loved the closeness to nature, the peace, and the very friendly fun staff. Our room was comfortable with fans and mosquito nets. We stayed in the bungalow with the communal bathroom, and thought it was just fine with a very nice shower!

Chrissie

United States of America

Excellent location, with an „off the beaten track“ feeling, super calm and peaceful but right next to Hang Mua, one of the main attractions of the area. You can easy explore the area for yourselve by using the bikes they have at disposal and the staff is extremely helpful when it comes to giving tipps or helping organise your trip. We really enjoyed talking and laughing with them. They let us use a free room to get some hours of sleep when we arrived by nightbus at 4am before our room was ready, which we appreciated very much and were super thankful for!! The food is very fresh and delicious and the hammocks on the private balcony top it all off :)

Staff were extremely kind and helpful - especially with our 8 year old daughter. The natural secluded location was nice. Food was very good. Easy bike ride to Trang an or Tam Coc. We loved biking around the area.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Nguyen Shack. It is the perfect place to relax on a hammock and take in the simply amazing scenery. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and I particularly enjoyed the cycle tour they offer of the nearby rice paddies. I enjoyed tucking myself in under the mosquito net and falling asleep to the noise of the wildlife around me, although appreciate the openness of the room might not be for everyone! The beds are comfortable and although the facilities are simple, they work well.

The shared bathroom was a bit bare bones... but then again. It was a shared shack on a lagoon in Vietnam. Part of the adventure. We learned to love it hehe.
The location is bonkers. The food was amazing as well and value for money was excellent as well. A bit off the beaten road but with a little help from the staff we found it. Even in the middle of the night. Sunrise is absolutely incredibly in this location. Surrounded by the local mountains in what felt like a private lagoon.

No air con (obviously not feasible in the shacks) means they get quite hot, but there are numerous fans in each room to try and reduce that as much as possible.
A really cool place to stay. The shacks are a good size and the hammock terrace was great with lovely views. They are at the base of the way up to Mua caves too. Staff are really helpful.
