Looking for the perfect home base while discovering Hoi An and the central area of vietnam? As it turned out we found THE place: Charming Hoi An Homestay. Nhi (owner and super host) welcomes you into her house creating a familiar atmosphere, where you feel at home and well cared for - in any situation! The rooms are comfortable, furnished with simple elegance and quiet. That they are clean doesn’t have to be mentioned at this stage. Great extra service: from washing clothes (extra fee of course), over practical tips where to go when you need a hair cut for instance (needed one badly ;) and advice on price negotiations, organizing postal package pick up, to great suggestions where to travel / what to discover next based on your interests. We very much enjoyed Nhi’s cooking class, especially the guided visit at the local small market in the morning, as well as the private environment participating in the workshop making our own lanterns right next door with her sister in law. Visiting Hoi An to dine at „mai fish“ and getting a tailored suit/dress were among the first notes on our 2do-list… Charming Homestay is located perfectly - which means not too close nor too far from the old town. In case you dared to delve into the tourist stream downtown, make sure you have the „Reaching Out Teahouse“ on your map, truly a safe haven as well. We found out about Nhi’s really Charming Homestay the old way… chit-chatting with fellow travelers on Cham Island not knowing where to go next. We are so happy to having been told about this special place! We recommend it immediately! Dear Nhi, thank you so much! All the best to you, your Mum and your helping hands! Nadine & Matthias

Nhi was an excellent host, providing excellent recommendations for food, tailoring and things to do. My wife became unwell whilst we were in Hoi An, Nhi made her feel so much better, cooking her a homemade meal and providing her with ginger tea. She went repeatedly above and beyond what we would expect in anywhere else we’ve ever stayed and provided a lovely rose to celebrate our honeymoon. This really is a home away from home. Highly recommend.

The room could be quite hot when coming back to sleep as the A/C requires key activation and did take a little time to cool. The bathroom was hot and humid particularly after showering - we kept the door closed between the room and bathroom for this reason.

Thanks to Nih, it feels like a "home away from home". She is incredibly helpful, friendly, reliable and warm. I love the energy that her mother and she give to this place. The homestay is like an inner courtyard with individual sweet rooms. Nih's kitchen is the centerpiece of the whole property. I would come back here again and again and hope to see them again somewhere/someday. =bed super comfortable =hot water =regular checking/cleaning of the rooms =individual breakfast options =scooter/bicycle rental =easy to find and everything you need within reach =top location because right between rice fields and old town.

All good!

65yr old female solo traveler, 6 night stay, arrived on 16th March 2025 I had such an unforgettable & delightful stay. I recently had the pleasure of staying at Charming Homestay in Hoi An and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Nhi & her 85 yr old mother Thu who lives with Nhi, they made sure I felt at home throughout my stay. The homestay is just a short distance from the bustling old town, easy to navigate by catching a grab taxi, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing, shopping & exploring the local area. The room was spotless and the king size bed to myself was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night after a day of exploring Hoi An’s lovely streets and beaches, everything was provided & I had a nice quite little courtyard to sit in & enjoy my cups of tea in the mornings & my room had aircon for when & if needed. Some of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast each morning, I was treated with a choice of delicious Vietnamese coffee, food, fruit & different homemade cold herb teas from breakfast menu that Nhi would make for me, everything was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Nhi was also incredibly helpful in providing recommendations for nearby attractions ie the Bamboo Circus which is a must see jaw dropping with amazing circus skills, flying around stage using bamboo as props, music & a great storyline. Nhi also helped me with the coconut boat trip she called the boat operator who met me when I arrived & I had the best boat ride, also caught the stunning sunset. Nhi helped with arranging tours for me, I was picked up & dropped off at homestay, I thoroughly enjoyed especially being small group tours was perfect. What really stood out to me, however, was the hospitality, Nhi went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable.

- The owner, Nhi, truly is a gem. She helped us plan our stay in Hoi An and even helped us after for the rest of our trip across Vietnam (e.i. Shows recommendations and tour discounts) - The room was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. - Calm because out of center (20min by foot) - Good laundry service - The homemade breakfast provided is really good and she made us taste different tasty food everyday. - She can accommodate celiac for the breakfast! Felt really safe as she already knew about it (no wheat flour, no soy sauce, no knorr, no maggi,... and careful about crosscontaminations)

Nhi was such a lovely host. Gave me a bunch of recommendations the moment I stepped foot in her home. She was also so so kind — I realized I forgot my wallet when I was in a cafe and she kindly paid for it first through online payment. She even offered to meet up with me in the town so she can give me cash and I can explore! I kindly declined since I had to go home anyway so I was able to get my cash and pay her too. Her hospitality is beyond words <3 Thank you Nhi!

Nothing :)

My wife and I spent 3 lovely days at Nihi’s homestay . A really interesting and nice experience . Nihi is very kind, nice and welcoming person. She gave us usefull information for out stay in Hoi An ( food , places to see ) . We did together a cooking class … it was amazing sharing this experience , we felt like at home. Our room was very nice, clean and comfortable . The mattress of high quality . The breakfast is à là carte and very delicious . I really recommend this place !!

Staying here has felt like home. Nhi made me feel so comfortable and safe and a solo female traveller. She is a wonderful cook helped me plan the next couple of weeks of my trip. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Only a short walk or bike ride into the busy part of Hoi An. Peaceful at night time. Beautiful fresh flowers and plants surrounding the homestay. A really lovely vibe. I highly recommend Charming Homestay.

Nothing. Everything is fabulous !

It’s was a gorgeous place to stay, you walk through a lovely colourful garden to reach the rooms. They’re set back from the road so very quiet and eating breakfast around the dining table was very welcoming. I am celiac (gluten free) and Nhi catered for me without any trouble, each breakfast was delicious

Nothing. It was perfect!

Lovely family owned homestay with a nice vibe overall. Located just right between the busy center and the relaxing rice paddies and the beach. Bicycles at hand to explore the surroundings to the fullest. Loads of local recommendations and sweet executed cooking class. All in all very cosy, we loved it.
