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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

ROOM WITH A VIEW
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.

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 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

Fantastisk sted
Vi havde sådan en dejlig oplevelse her. Bungalowen var hyggelig, udsigten var god, maden var lækker og servicen var helt i top. Vi fik en masse hjælp til at booke både tour til Phong Nha Cave og bus til næste destination. Vi var så glade for at være her. Det eneste var vejret som var lidt i mod os men det er jo ikke hotellets skyld. 10/10 oplevelse

Gentillesse, paysage, détente
On a adoré notre bungalow sur pilotis près de la rivière. Le paysage est magnifique, le soir on peut se baigner dans la rivière depuis la plage de l'hôtel.Monsieur HA et sa famille sont adorables et très serviables. Il font le laundry, et les repas sont très bons, les excursions proposées géniales. Un séjour parfait que l'on recommande à tous dans un cadre de rêve.

Très bien situé près de l’entrée des cavernes de Phong nha .Si vous avez besoin d’un transport de la gare ou de l’aéroport le propriétaire offre le service ,il est très gentil et si vous avez des besoins lors de votre visite il y répondra avec plaisir.
Nous avons pris tous nos repas sur place car la nourriture était très bonne à un prix raisonnable; nous y reviendrions sans aucune hésitation.
