Nice place with a cheap and amazing restaurant. It's nice that there is a place where to eat because the place is a little far away from the main city and there is not much around. Since it is in a small village, you can appreciate the peaceful atmosphere :)

    Linda is amazing! Everything you need, she would deliver. Definitely take the halong bay tour through the homestay, its an amazing tour done by locals. If you have the chance to do the family dinner, definitely do it. A trip to the caves and the park is also a great activity. If you do not want to do the scooters Linda can arrange a private cab.

    CatBaCorner is a lovely small set up with recently built rooms, a view on a pond and absolutely outstanding welcome and service by owner Phuong. The room is large enough, the beds comfy, sitting area outside etc. All simple, but tastefully done. Everyday another breakfast, all yummy. Phuong arranged our laundry, a scooter and tips where to eat/ go as well as our bus ride to Ninh Binh. She is the most lovely host there is! The homestay is a short 5 minute scooter drive from the busy town center.

    Very nice homestay in quiet, beautiful area. It's a bit remote, but with the motorbike it's very easy to get around. Especially the entry to the National Park trails is very close by. Super nice host family, spacious and well equipped room (wardrobe and a very good hairdryer, ac, bathroom amenities, ...) and good food in the restaurant! And many cute animals around ;) We enjoyed our stay here so much, that we stayed 2 nights more than originally planned, cảm ơn!

    Great family hosts, very friendly & helped us with everything we needed. Tasty banana pancake at breakfast and good value room compared to other homestays on cat ba. Rented a bike from them and had laundry done, all went smoothly. We liked the location as it was quieter and among the locals. Means there is a short walk to the center, 10 minutes down a hill.

    What an amazing family to welcome you in Cat Ba ! Homestay is a little bit outside the city (about 15min) but you can rent a motorbike or take the local bus. The beach next door is really nice, has a small local bar and the locals are making a lot of effort to clean it ! Room was really comfortable, I loved it !

    It was in a great location and one of the cleanest places we stayed in Vietnam. The host family were amazing helping us with information about the island, pick up and drop offs and booking our bus back to Hanoi. My husband and I did the cooking class with Tam and it was fantastic. We rented a scooter from the Homestay to tour around the island and had delicious breakfast and dinners outside on the roof top with a view of the mountains.

    Perfect homestay about 15 minuten from Cat Ba town. Linda is a great host and can arrange everything for you around the island. We rented a scooter, booked a boat trip and did our laundry. Breakfast is fine. Lunch and dinner are good and prices are low. Last but not least: great pool for cooling down

    This is a really lovely Homestay, we felt very welcome into their home and the family are very kind. The breakfast was great too! The location is a walk away from the main part of town, but we enjoyed it as it felt more like a locals area, and there were good restaurants and bars round there. Highly recommend.
