Napoli Hostel features air-conditioned rooms in Cat Ba. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property.

Positives: Great location, staff, cleaning. The bed was comfortable, with curtains for privacy, and the room had lockers. Towel available. Shower gel and shampoo available at the shared bathroom (inside of the 6-bed room). Tours and buses available to book at good prices. Negatives: the hot water runs out pretty quickly, only gives you time for a quick shower, then you have to wait again for the water heater.

Just a 18-minute walk from Đảo Khỉ Beach and a few steps from Ben Beo Harbour, Lan Ha Floating Homestay features accommodations in Cat Ba, with a garden.

On the edge of the floating fisherman's village, its a Homestay with 3 rooms. It was just us and 1 other room during our 2 night stay. Coordination for bus and boat taxi transfer from Hanoi was arranged via WhatsApp ahead of time and was seamless. The location is beautiful, nestled in a bay with calm waters and views. Ha and Linh were the perfect host/hostess. We had their dinner one night and the food was endless and delicious. We felt bad that we couldn't even put a dent in the plethora of delicious seafood served! There was definitely a lot of food served all the time, Hà is an excellent chef! We also did the nighttime plankton bioluminescent kayak tour and lucked out with some vivid paddling (the tour is 4hrs, but only 1.5hrs of easy paddling). Stay at this home for a wonderful and peaceful time. We mostly relaxed, swam and kayaked around the area. Oh and enjoyed the various neighbors singing karaoke! Thank you!

My partner and I stayed here with our 2 children in December. Excellent service, cozy room, great breakfast. Location is just amazing. With the bay undergoing huge construction the view is not to bad.

    Linda is amazing! Everything you need, she would deliver. Definitely take the halong bay tour through the homestay, its an amazing tour done by locals. If you have the chance to do the family dinner, definitely do it. A trip to the caves and the park is also a great activity. If you do not want to do the scooters Linda can arrange a private cab.

    CatBaCorner is a lovely small set up with recently built rooms, a view on a pond and absolutely outstanding welcome and service by owner Phuong. The room is large enough, the beds comfy, sitting area outside etc. All simple, but tastefully done. Everyday another breakfast, all yummy. Phuong arranged our laundry, a scooter and tips where to eat/ go as well as our bus ride to Ninh Binh. She is the most lovely host there is! The homestay is a short 5 minute scooter drive from the busy town center.

    Very nice homestay in quiet, beautiful area. It's a bit remote, but with the motorbike it's very easy to get around. Especially the entry to the National Park trails is very close by. Super nice host family, spacious and well equipped room (wardrobe and a very good hairdryer, ac, bathroom amenities, ...) and good food in the restaurant! And many cute animals around ;) We enjoyed our stay here so much, that we stayed 2 nights more than originally planned, cảm ơn!

    Great family hosts, very friendly & helped us with everything we needed. Tasty banana pancake at breakfast and good value room compared to other homestays on cat ba. Rented a bike from them and had laundry done, all went smoothly. We liked the location as it was quieter and among the locals. Means there is a short walk to the center, 10 minutes down a hill.

    What an amazing family to welcome you in Cat Ba ! Homestay is a little bit outside the city (about 15min) but you can rent a motorbike or take the local bus. The beach next door is really nice, has a small local bar and the locals are making a lot of effort to clean it ! Room was really comfortable, I loved it !

    It was in a great location and one of the cleanest places we stayed in Vietnam. The host family were amazing helping us with information about the island, pick up and drop offs and booking our bus back to Hanoi. My husband and I did the cooking class with Tam and it was fantastic. We rented a scooter from the Homestay to tour around the island and had delicious breakfast and dinners outside on the roof top with a view of the mountains.

    Perfect homestay about 15 minuten from Cat Ba town. Linda is a great host and can arrange everything for you around the island. We rented a scooter, booked a boat trip and did our laundry. Breakfast is fine. Lunch and dinner are good and prices are low. Last but not least: great pool for cooling down

    This is a really lovely Homestay, we felt very welcome into their home and the family are very kind. The breakfast was great too! The location is a walk away from the main part of town, but we enjoyed it as it felt more like a locals area, and there were good restaurants and bars round there. Highly recommend.
