A true favorite… From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such rare warmth and kindness. We instantly felt at home, surrounded by a golden-hearted family — caring, smiling, and genuinely kind. The place is stunning, tastefully decorated, impeccably clean, and perfectly located to explore the surroundings. The garden and the pool offer a peaceful and serene haven, perfect for relaxing. Every morning, breakfast was a pure delight, prepared with so much love and generosity – a real moment of joy. They offer scooter rentals and provide bicycles to explore the beautiful surrounding rice fields, which made our stay even more magical. We had only planned to stay a short time… and ended up extending for a whole month, simply because we didn’t want to leave. This place has a soul, carried by people we absolutely adore. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts – we’ll be back for sure.

It was perfectly situated between the old town and the beach. Either way is a $1.20 AUD grab bike (or about 20,000VND). They also offer free use of the bicycles or it’s half an hour walk each way. I personally liked that it was not in the centre hustle and bustle. It did limit brunch options within walking distance but with the grab bike and free use of bicycle - I didn’t find this to be a massive issue. The owners are lovely as well. Very accommodating and flexible with requests. It’s definitely more of a Homestay than a hostel which I liked.

The beds and pillows are rock hard, but other than that I have nothing at all to complain about :-)

As a group of 11 we felt very well looked after by this family business. Very good value for money. They arranged transport from Da Nang for free for us as a big group. A trip to Cham island and cooking lessons were easily booked for us and we paid on checking out. Both were very memorable experiences and again very good value. The pool was good and well enjoyed within the garden area. Plenty of bikes for us all to go to An Bang beach together. . Breakfast was good and ordered the night before. The pancakes were exceptional, but there were also noodle and egg options. We enjoyed the outdoor cafe at the front of the hotel which was open until 10 for soft drinks and cheesecake. Beautiful fruit iced tea here. I had the dormitory for 4 for me and 3 'children'. This was a good room with 2 sets of bunk beds. Each bed was big and comfortable with a reading light and a curtain. Air con was very efficient. Definitely recommend this as a place to stay in Hoi An!

Nothing. All good!

I was simply blown away by the kindness of Thao and her mother and father. It was my first trip to Vietnam and from the moment I stepped off the plane Thao organised whatever I needed from day trips to shuttles to and from the airport, great restaurants and takeout options and even booked my appointment for my first ever tattoo. I booked a double en-suite bedroom and was given an upstairs room with a large balcony overlooking their beautiful garden and pool. Bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was always hot. I had breakfast 3 times during my 9 nights as I also wanted to try the local street food but Thao’s mothers breakfast was delicious. It was my birthday while I was there so they also invited me to join them for some delicious home cooked local cuisine for lunch. I used their free bikes every day to go either to the beach, the old town or cycle thru the wonderful rice fields. Red House Homestay is perfectly located about a 30 minute walk to the old town and a 30 minute cycle to the beach but there are plenty of less touristy local shops and restaurants and coffee shops around. Thao just opened her own Cafe at Red House called Cafe Ann after her daughter and she makes delicious coffees. I was so sad to leave but I really do hope to visit again soon

There was nothing I could fault about Red House Homestay

Thao, the family and the staff are incredibly kind. They go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. The garden and pool area is beautiful, the location is far enough from old town to be quiet yet close enough for a modest bicycle (provided by the hostel) ride There are some good massage spas around, local vegetarian restaurant and WinMart.. The cleaning lady does her best to clean the room when nobody is around and we were never missing any toiletry in the room. Will definitely come back again 👍

The only 2.things that come to mind are the AC cleanliness and a little bit of mold. Mold is quite common in almost every accommodation I've been to in this region - even in much more expensive ones, so hard to fault RedHouse. Perhaps cleaning the AC and running it on dehumidify mode could help

One of the best decisions of this trip. They went above and beyond when I got injured. After a stay in a boutique hotel, I wanted to try a homestay and randomly picked this place for three nights. After one night, I felt comfortable and booked another week. Everything was as explained, simple, nice and very cozy. My room had a great breeze, a balcony and the water in the shower, excellent. Enjoyed my morning coffee at the coffee place and sitting by the pool to work was superb. One evening I went for my run and fell, pretty badly. The family and Tau, took good care of me, got me what i needed, and without them, I would have been stuck alone. They are lovely people, the place is great, and if I could stay, I would do it there. As for the location, loved the market, and with a moto or bicycle, it's a few mins to old town or the beach.

I had a good stay because of the friendly family and specially Thao. She was a big help during my stay organizing different stuff for me. Breakfast is amazing and the location is perfect to explore Hoi An. Very calm and peaceful place. I would totally recommend a stay specially in the private rooms.

There were some things to improve: the dorms are quite old fashioned compared to the private room. There was no blanket and light on my bunk bed. There were also no keys for the rooms. To assure more safety that would have been nice. These are just some improvements. I had a very good stay overall!

Such a great family business. Thao is so helpful, quick responding and provided us such a lovely breakfast. She works hard in her little cafe which makes amazing drinks. We really enjoyed and would recommend to any other travellers. When one of my friends got sick she even offered to take her to the hospital to translate as well as organising Gluten Free breakfasts for one of our friends. She gave us a local map with her unique recommendations. Really great location. Also was helpful organising airport transport and could have organised tours if needed.

Wonderful place, the best hotel/hostel I've stayed at in Vietnam! The owner and all other staff are so welcoming and helpful. I got the overnight bus from BNT so arrived pretty early, I was able to check in about 11ish, welcomed with a tasty ginger drink, comfy bed larger than average, privacy curtain, fresh towel amd toileries. Shower - hot and great pressure! Brekkie, well, that was a feast in itself, large portions, very reasonably priced and super tasty! Location - just away from the hussle of the main area but close enough to walk or cycle which was perfect for me as I needed some down time and a chance to dip in to the madness if i wanted it. Also free use of well maintained bikes, pool area lovely, nice and tranquil outside area perfect for breakfast, coffee shop and cute dogs. There's a lovely Spa two mins away - Lemon Spa - which does amazing treatments, also local market close by, coffee shops and lots of eateries. Honestly, can't fault anything, excellent value for money - you won't be disappointed. Thank you RedHouse, I'll be sure to spread the word & will return in the future.

Wet room could maybe do with anti-slip mat

Thao and her family are fabulous hosts. The location is excellent - halfway between old town and beach (short grab ride or bike ride away - use the free bikes from Red House!). Amazing breakfasts. Comfy beds. And Thao runs a delicious coffee shop out the front. Really can’t ask for more - oh a friendly vaccinated dog that you can let your kids pat safely. The only place in Vietnam that we have found that!
