    We didn’t realise that the family also provide a good service (extra charge) and we felt at times guilty for not buying meals from them.

    It was spacious and very clean. There was a rooftop terrace, which was really nice in the evening where we enjoyed delicious cocktails made by the son who had watched YouTube videos to understand how to do it. The family were very welcoming and met us at the harbour. We didn’t realise this at the time and so were slightly confused. To hire bikes you should be charged just 150k per day, so be sure to check this on arrival. The family also organised snorkelling for us - we travelled across in a coconut boat to the snorkel site which was great. The family were always on hand.

    The family is extremely nice. You go here not to be a tourist, but to be part of the family. You feel at home and very welcome. It has been an amazing experience, to live like locals, to experience their culture. Something very much different and absolutely recommended to anybody who travels to discover different cultures and populations. The family also offers snorkeling activities and tours of the island by motorbikes: both absolutely recommended!

    To think that the place is on an island with many nice sand beaches and you would expect that sand would come in any time. There was no place where we could rinse off the sand before coming inside the house which made all the sand come all the way inside to the bedroom and bathroom. The madrases in the beds was very thin and hard so they were bad for our backs. There was AC in the room but it did not work properly so the room was still quite hot.

    The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They were very welcoming and tried their best to make our stay as memorable as possible. We really enjoyed it and the kids loved all the monkeys that came to the house. The food the house owner made was delicious and they made according to our wishes which the kids loved. If you wish to experience how to live in a Vietnamese home, this was a great experience.

    The beds are rather hard which is ok when you are young but as a 40+ I felt it.

    This cute home stay is a gem. The family running it is so accommodating and caring. They organised bikes to rent, cooked beautiful homemade food fish freshly caught by the man. Great value for money. So beautiful to sit on the roof top for dinner overlooking the ocean. The owners English is very limited but we got by. Great aircon.

    The family were incredibly welcoming even from before I arrived on the island. I was collected at the port on arrival and taken to a wonderful home. I ended up staying an extra night and by the end I truly felt like one of the family. I feel certain that I will be returning back to this place again Special mention to the food that was offered, cooked from the heart and amazing to share with fellow travellers.

    Amazing Homestay which we highly recommend. The atmospere and the food prepared by the family are unforgetable. Before our stay we asked for help with organizing the transfer from Cua Dai and renting motorbikes. They booked the speedboat tickets for us as and then when we arrived to the island, we were picked up from the port with the rented motorbikes prepared for us. The host also organized a snorkeling trip for the guests, it was really nice. Thank you so much for the fantastic stay!

    Make sure you wait for the family to pick you up with their scooters. We did not know but you can rent a scooter from them with much better quality. We rented one from the people along the quay with far less quality...

    We did not know what to expect when we would arrive Cham Island. When we found Mr Lau and his son they took us to their lovely homestay. Mrs Thu and Mr Lau prepared us a nice lunch and afterward we went snorkeling and a boat trip with their son Trung. After the boat trip we explored the island on a scooter and trung showed us the nicest spots. In the evening we cleaned and prepared the sea urchins we caught during our boat trip. The dinner was served at their roof top. In the morning we got a nice breakfast. The family took good care for our children and ourselves. Big recommendation if you like to stay in a simple homestay but with great hospitality!

    Absolutely fabulous family. Very warm and welcoming. They totally took care of all of our needs--making sure we always had water or tea. And then making sure a fan was always on us! Over the top! Their son Trung showed us all around the village and took us snorkeling in one of the round boats. He is wonderful!

    Wow !! I don’t really know where to begin. Me and my girlfriend had the best time of our lives the four nights we stayed at this homestay. Food here is amazing, one of if not the best food in Vietnam. We ate at really expensive restaurants in Hanoi that wasn’t nearly as good as the food at this home stay !! the family is very helpful with everything and very friendly. But what really made the visit a real blessing for us was their son, Quoc, who took us out fishing, snorkeling, trecking, and knew absolutely EVERYTHING about the island. He was without a doubt the best guy we met during our whole trip to Vietnam (3 weeks) , we visited many places and did lots of stuff but we always missed the island and Quoc. We will come back to this place, I don’t care how long it will take us to save up the money for it but we will. Quoc is Cham islands, he truly is the soul of this island and to spend time with him and to experience all the things we did on Cham islands was truly a profound experience that I will never forget…!!!!!

    The homestay is located in a fishing village, about 15 minutes from the main town. It is right on the beach and only a short drive from other even more secluded beaches. You can rent bikes from the main town, but the owners will drive you anywhere that you ask. Lau and Thu’s son, took us on a private snorkelling trip on his boat and a tour of the whole island on his bike. The food was a mixture of fresh seafood, fried rice and vegetables and was some of the best food I had in Vietnam. The owners as you can probably tell were amazing and even though they spoke very little english, always made sure we had everything we needed.
