The Seaside Bungalow

Review: The hostel really ticks all boxes! The staff is super nice and helpful in every situation. They have a great variety of foods and drinks which are very anffordable and taste super good. The facilities look really nice, the hostel has a chill and nature-like vibe! Moreover there are lovely animals and they offer a lot of activities. Social athmosphere is also provided. Totally recommend!!

Positive points: Great vibe here at this hostel, hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating!

Review: I don’t even know where to start. Firstly we were given a downgraded room because they had overbooked and the room we actually booked months ago wasn’t available. We then had to have a 10 minute back and forth conversation with phone calls being made to whoever for them to agree that we could pay for the cheaper room we were actually given rather than the more expensive one we booked. And even then they tried to make out we were paying less, and I had to show them on my booking that they were in fact still asking for the same amount as the better room. Secondly, the room was not nice. The shower and toilet were separate, with the sink in the main room. Every time I went to the shower/toilet there were 5/6 mosquitoes, so we had to quickly open and shut the door every time to stop them getting into the room. Only this didn’t solve the problem, because there were also 9 dead mosquitoes in the sink in the main room. So I’m not sure when that had last been cleaned. Now I know there isn’t a lot they can do about mosquitoes being in the area, however it’s clearly an issue, so fixing the holes in the ceiling or at least putting mosquito nets in would be a good start. To minimise being bitten, I had to sleep in full length top and bottoms, only to wake up every hour of the night because I was so hot because the air con wasn’t working. The bedding smelt as if someone had just slept in it and hadn’t been washed since. And finally, I’m not sure where this “private beach” was, but the only beach we were directed to was a few minutes walk away with a couple of restaurants where you could use their sun beds.

Positive points: my favorite hostel i stayed at in all of vietnam, incredible atmosphere, lots of cute animals running around, great food, great people. this hostel felt very genuine and the staff really seemed to care about their guests. Shoutout T and his aunt!

Review: Beautiful place close to the beach with very friendly staff and a bunch of cute dogs.

Review: We stayed there for two nights and it was super nice and chill. Besides that the hostel and its location next to the sea were amazing, I want to point out that the vibe and the staff were so super nice! The staf constantly helped us with everything and even when we weren’t at the hostel anymore we could reach out for help. Super nice amazing stay!.

Highly recommend

Positive points: Yes it is really social and you can tell they really love their animals. The owner and staff are super lovely and the breakfast was good. In good weather definitely a good option

Review: Comfortable place, close to the beach, amazing helping staff, with many dogs and cats :)

Positive points: Amazing place with the friendliest staff.

Review: The owner are really nice and helpful. For me was the 4 bedroom not good. My bed was between the main door and the bathroom door so no matter how my head was always at a door. And unfortunately the beach seems to have a problem with stray dogs. I went in the morning there for a morning bath and a pack dogs starting barking and grab at me. I am used to dogs and i am not afraid of them, but in this moment i was. That's why and because of the room i decided to leave this hostel. The owner was very nice and understood my decision and they cook very good. The place is full of people who are going to the city to party. So if you eager to meet people and be a bit far away (no restaurants in walking distance) it's the right place.

Positive points: The staff are beyond amazing, the rescue dogs and cats are very friendly. The group dinner and beach bonfire were lovely. My room was nice as well. 10/10 recommend to anyone travelling solo or in a group.

Review: Vy and the other hosts are super kind and helpful! They organize various events for the guests to socialize such as beach bonfire and family dinners. The shower is half outside so leafs and sand can come in, but the water pressure is very good

Positive points: Vy the manager / owner of the hostel was lovely as was everyone who worked there. It was great to stay at a hostel and meet people. We had an amazing pool party and really created a sense of community.
