I had an incredible stay at this charming homestay in Hoi An, and I can't recommend it enough! Located just a 5-minute walk from the busy center, this place offers the perfect balance of proximity to the action and tranquility. Despite being close to the crowds, the homestay remains incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it a perfect retreat. The view from my room was absolutely stunning – I had a beautiful panorama of the river, lush jungle, and mountain peaks, with banana palms adding a tropical touch. It was so serene to wake up to this natural beauty every day. The hosts were incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They assisted with everything, from laundry service and arranging airport shuttles to recommending tours. They even have bicycles available for rent, which was a great way to explore the area at my own pace. Breakfast each morning was a treat, with delicious Vietnamese food, and the coffee was some of the best I've had during my travels. If you're looking for a peaceful, beautiful place to stay with warm, welcoming hosts, this is the spot! I loved every moment of my stay and will definitely return if I’m ever in Hoi An again.

Chi and her husband were exceptional hosts. Arriving here they immediately made us very welcome, and staying at Riverlife made our stay in Hoi A very special. I reckon this is one of the best Homestay in Hoi An, and everything is immaculate. Yet it has a nice family feel. We had a beautiful and spotless modern room with a very comfortable bed and we slept well. It is just a 5 min stroll to the night market and another 5 mins on to hoi an centre. We liked the location as it was very quiet and away from the noisy bars, but an easy walk to town. Chi offers a beautifully presented breakfast, at a good price compared to Hoi An. Everything was cooked to perfection and we enjoyed our breakfast there, and she accommodates for early or late breakfast. Her Cao Lao is particularly good. Thank you Chi and her family for such a great start to our trip to Vietnam.

Nothing

Quiet Nice view over the river Large room Good location V small plunge pool if needed Rooftop area gave a nice view when we took a drink of ours up to enjoy the view

Not much water pressure Rooftop looked unlike photos - a bit scrappy with poor seats jostling for space with the solar hot water heater. No lift (although they took the bags up & down the 3.5 flights of stairs.).

The room was perfect, very comfortable and very clean. The family was very welcoming and extremely nice and helpful. We had free water everyday. We felt like home. The breakfast were delicious and the area is very quiet but still close to the old quarter, only a 10 minutes walk. Only a couple minutes walk you have a very nice view of the river and the sunset is amazing there. Eventhough the pool was small, I truely enjoyed it everyday. It was perfect.

10 out of 10. A lovely guesthouse run by a very friendly, helpful and warm family. The lady of the house made us a very nice breakfast each morning, did our laundry and even gave us a lovely present when we left! Fully recommended. Thank you, Chi!

The balconies are a little small, but there is a wonderful roof top terrace to sit out on, so no problem.

Perfect accommodation for a family with plenty of space with interconnecting rooms. Very clean and comfortable room with additional facilities such as a fridge and jug. Great location in easy walking distance to the night markets. Chi was very helpful and assisted in booking tickets and taxis for fair prices. The pool was a must on very hot days. Also, breakfast options were available at a very reasonable price and delicious.

Chi is an amazing hostess and welcomes you into her home, with a very nice and well presented room with ensuite (we booked room for three adults). Chi is able to help with anything you need - for us she organized pick up from Danang airport and is soo friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying at the Riverlife Homestay if you are visiting Hoi An.

We stayed 4 days at the Homestay and were really happy with it. The room is clean with a good air condition. The shower is separated from the toilet by a little wall. This way the toilet and bathroom sink is not completely wet after you take a shower, which you will see quite often in Vietnam. The hosts are the friendliest persons we met so far on our trip in Vietnam. They were always available when we needed something. They also offer a bike rental and can show you a place not far from the Homestay, where you can rent a motorbike for 100k

We really don’t have much to complain about. If I have to mention a point, then maybe the fact that the windows are quit thin. That’s why you can hear the motorbikes in the morning. But this is something you will experience everywhere in Vietnam

Very helpful and sweet family Room is big and very clean with satellite tv, fridge, kettle, nice bathroom and small balcony over looking the river We felt so comfortable staying here and would definitely stay again

We found the bed to be very hard but that is up to your own preference :)

The hotel is located in a quiet street where you'll find everything you need, and within walking distance of the old town without all the hustle and bustle. The room is clean and comfortable, with everything you need. There's a large terrace and a small small swimming pool. The sea is less than 6km away. Many thanks, don't hesitate!
