This farmstay came highly recommended by friends and we were super excited to check it out. You have to stay a minimum of two nights due to the time taken to get the farm and the tours on offer. Accomodation was really clean and comfortable and staff were super knowledgeable and more than willing to help you get around the... More

Thanks for the review Naomi, I am sorry that you believed we oversold our DMZ bus transfer, it is a new service, and one I would like to share our thoughts behind. Most tourists who visit Vietnam, 'city hop' through the country, getting trains or buses between destinations, missing out on great things en route.We at the Farmstay have always... More

Beautiful location, amazing place, great staff (especially Denise who took care of my whole stay). Well designed venue, good food (dinner menu changed daily), perfect location to watch sunset and explore countryside. Nice pool which was needed after days in hot sunshine. Tours and car hire was a little expensive but definitely worth taking trips around. Paradise cave was beautiful.... More

This is a great place because it is located in the middle of such a beautiful natural area. The owners provide a wonderful end-to-end service, making it possible for average tourists to experience some truly unique natural surroundings. I agree with the other reviewers that you should book well in advance. It's easy and the owners/managers respnd quickly and articulately... More

Thanks for the review guys, You guys did have fun. We enjoyed you being here. The "pub with cold beer" is a winning formula, I'd have to agree. People take themselves there most days, and it's a great opportunity to get out with the locals in the rural countryside. We have a new 1 day tour going exploring more newly... More

We came to Quang Binh province to see the Phong Nha Ke Bang National park, and somehow we didn't even bother to check what does Phong Nha Farmstay have to offer, which was a huge mistake.
