Karst Villas Phong Nha

Beautiful hotel! Amazing location in the middle of the rice fields. Peaceful, quiet but near to the center (just 6-7mins by car or motorbike). Breakfast a la carte was fresh and tasty. Good coffee and 2 adorable super cute puppies running around. I loved this place! This hotel was one of the highlights of our vacation in Vietnam!

Great Location with stunning views over the rice fields. 5 rooms and 6 Villa’s . Run by a Family . Great Pool and even better Service . Close to visit Phong nah Cave or botanical Garden (free bycicles). Very good food, Vietnamese and Western cuisine .Peacefull and cosy place to stay

The Karst Villas staff went above and beyond to make our stay an extra special experience even inviting us to share in there family celebration The room was very comfortable but what was amazing was how they treated us like family

This place is a hidden germ, it’s located in a small street all the way inside. I really enjoyed my stay here. The room is spacious and equipped with A/C in the hot Vietnam weather. Usually hotel food is a hit or miss but this place did not disappoint. All the food I ordered were delicious, plus breakfast is FREE, you just have to order what you want the night before. I would highly recommend this villa and would definitely stay here again whenever I visit Phong Nhà national park since it’s 4km away.

We stayed 3 nights at Karst Villas, on a family round-trip to Vietnam. The hotel has a wonderful calm location out in the rice field among grazing water buffalo, with a beautiful view of the limestone mountains. Lovely family atmosphere, a bar and a swimming pool area with a scenic view. Food - there is both Vietnamese and other dishes - is good, but not excellent, and table service sometimes a bit slow. To our children's delight, there was also a pool table. The room was clean and spacious with AC. The owner Hung speaks good English and is a great host; friendly, attentive and reliable. In an email, he sent useful information about various activities and attractions in Phong Nha and the national park, but also about the hotel and personal background about himself. We were picked up by car at Dong Hoi airport, a smooth transport to the hotel. We wanted to see 3 caves and do a jungle tour, which he arranged. Hung himself took our family on a private 1-day tour to the amazing caves, including transport and lunch at an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. He also professionally filmed and photographed the family's visit to the Dark Cave with zipline and swimming in the cave, a nice memory of a truly unique experience. To top it all off, Hung and his family surprised with a birthday cake and played 'Happy birthday' for our son's 17th birthday dinner on our last night. It wasn't until later that we realized that neither I nor my husband had asked him for this, but Hung must have noted the birthday in the passport. That says it all about this excellent host.

I loved my stay here. It has a gorgeous pool with amazing views over the rice paddies to the mountains in the background. The room was fantastic and had a balcony with the same views. A lovely quiet setting and great dining area. The food was also really excellent, some of the best I have had in Vietnam. 10/10.

Excellent value, lovely location, and wonderful team of people at Karst Villas. We could not have been happier with our choice in staying a little distance away from Phang Na town - no noise, wonderful views over rice Paddys, and the ability to get around by moped or bike rental. Hung (and lovely staff) were so welcoming - even at 5.30am when we were picked up from the train station (after 8 hours they kindly arranged for a driver to pick us up). We had a delicious breakfast (highly recommend the egg/bacon/sausage Ban Mi - #1) and hot coffee, while our rooms were vacated and cleaned, and then we settled in by 10am (no extra charge for early arrival) which meant we could visit Phang Nha cave that afternoon. I highly recommend getting a moped to explore the HCM highway if you have time. We did Paradise and Dark Cave on Day 2 (trip arranged by Hung) which was excellent fun and worth the ‘trip’ cost versus trying to do it by yourself. Unfortunately it was a little chilly for a dip in the pool at Karst Villas, but a nice place to chill if you have nowhere to be! Thank you so much Hung (and team)

Had a great time here. The accommodation is breathtaking. The hosts are so kind and will go the extra mile for their quests. For those who are interested, the wifi is great! Warm regards, Amsterdam

Great service, price and cuisine. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. Our room was luxurious, with very comfortable beds. The hotel itself is a true oasis of tranquility with an amazing pool. Can wholeheartedly recommend and will come again for sure
