Ba Vi Homestead

Spent 2 nights here last month.

This ​place is truly a gem, perfect for ​a weekend getaway or whenever you want to calm your mind amidst the chaos of a city life. Located right at the foot of Mount Tan Vien, the place is surrounded by a lot of big trees. They even have a small bamboo forest​ next to the house. The grounds are spacious and well taken care of, very clean and tidy. There ​are a small swimming pool,​ swings, basketball court and children's playground.

People were so ​gentle and kind. ​When they noticed that I was about to leave, one of the staff even waited for me and took me on her motorbike to the bus station after she finished her shift and was about to leave for the day​ (without me asking).

​Green, quiet and peaceful are all I remember about this place. ​Just remember to bring mosquito repellent (since there are lots of trees and bursts, there are quite lots of mosquitoes as you can imagine) and your favorite snacks then you are all set.

Best home stay in Ba vi, price are low and staff are efficient with smile. The home stay is just under the Ba vi montagne so you are near to the walk pass

I always stay here when visiting. It has everything and several different kinds of accommodation all well appointed and spotless. Massive garden area and pool all well maintained. Great choice of food and drinks to at good prices. Perfect location for seeing all the nation Park and musiums close by and very quiet. Don't miss out on visiting K9 only 15 klm away. Ho Chi Minh history and beautiful gardens. Honestly this is one of the best I have experienced in all Vietnam after living here 6 years. You will need a full day to explore the 2 musiums only 1 klm walk away. Yes they really are that big. There's so much to see and do around this area it would be easy to spend a week. No I'm not affiliated in any way I I just think this is one of the best yet.

I have always loved this place, but then, I've known it and it's owners nearly since it opened. They've expanded it considerably since those early days...most notably across the road. I get that they needed it to be a retreat for larger groups in order for it to be really viable. I just do what I can to avoid those peak times.

For me, it is an ideal place for a mid-week escape from the city. Pack a few bottles of wine, a couple good books, a notebook, and then just sit on their patios and forget about Hanoi for a while.

The older accommodation on the grounds are traditional houses from Hanoi that were relocated there to save them from destruction. They took them apart and rebuilt them on these grounds. Many Hanoians turn their noses up at them for being old fashioned, but in another generation, they will be legendary. The grounds themselves are beautiful, green, multi-tiered. Delightful. The owners and staff could not be more friendly.

It can be a bit busy and loud (karaoke) on weekends, so plan accordingly. I personally have the flexibility to go off peak, and it makes all the difference.

This is fantastic place, with trees, nice view, swimming pool and some game. You should come if you want go back to nature. I love the view with many trees, flowers and quiet.
There are 2 type areas for you to choose. The private room and dormitory room.
The kitchen not very well. They close at 7 pm, the foods just so so. Free wifi. :)))

Great, friendly place near all the tourist sites. Air conditioning in the room was very appreciated. Food onsite was ok, very convenient and with cold beer. Grounds are fun to explore. Didn't get to go for a swim in the little pool, though. Great price. Would go back if I was in the area. Loved the animals ♥.

A fantastic all round experience with everyone you need for a relaxing break.

My girlfriend and I spent two weekday nights here for a break from Hanoi. We paid 600k (£30) or a double room for two nights. The room itself is basic but comfortable, with good aircon, no Vietnam noise (dogs chickens construction etc) and very dark for a good sleep.

The grounds that this homestead has are beautiful. Big flower gardens and a little bamboo forest surround the swimming pool and some nice 100 year old dining halls. As we went during the week, the maximum number of guests here was between 5-7 people, so we had the pool to ourselves most of the time.

The location is a five minute motorbike ride to the national park entrance, and about the same to the water park entrance. You can rent motorbikes here, although it is expensive for Vietnam at 250k for a full day. In addition to this, we were first given a real old banger of a Honda Dream which cut out and handled like a cruise ship. According to some other guests, this did make it up the national park mountain, but I didn't want to risk it. They swapped it for a much newer Honda Wave when we asked, so I recommend you do the same. See pictures for the good bike.

The food here was good, although again a bit expensive compared to Vietnam prices. Nothing ridiculous, though. We don't eat meat so we sampled the fried pumpkin, veggie curry, homemade veggies, fried spring rolls, fried rice and the pan fried tofu, all of which I can recommend. See pictures for some of them. Also, there's free tea all the time so that's really nice.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They also have a cute kitten and a big ping pong table, as well as lots of free games e.g. chess, battleships.

Overall this was a fantastic hybrid between a hotel's comfort and a homestead's nature and community. We will be coming back.

Make sure to stay in the upper area. It's huge. You can play different sports (table tennis, basketball, badminton...), relax by the pool, read a book on a hammock or walk in the cool bamboo forest.

My favorite place to stay when heading to Ba Vi. The foods basic but good quality. The pool is a really cool feature while the accommodation is good.

Nice staff, fair accomodation and just 5 mins driving from the national park.

Preparing for the leaves as a gift for us. Super friendly stuff. Good location. We enjoyed being there ❤

Fantastic location beside Ba Vi national park, very friendly staff who went the extra mile to make our stay special. The pool is a nice bonus.

I stayed this place 3 times. Totally love it

I don’t know what everyone else is saying, but this place was amazing for me!

Nice and quiet, well appointed room. King size bed! Good value

Great food and brilliant service! The beds are quite hard but for an overall experience I would totally recommend it!

Nice place to stay with a swimming pool. Not expensive and good food available.

Nice green place where you can relax and enjoy surrounded nature.

I needed to post a review because it's a little paradise place really cheap :)

A good place to stay for a night, with pool and good services
