Don't expect all the staff to speak fluent English, because they don't, and if you're looking for all the comforts of a luxury resort (fresh towels every day, soap and shampoo in the rooms...) then this probably isn't the place for you. As a place that's more used to catering to national guests, not all the expectations of international visitors will be met, but if you're up for a bit of an adventure slightly off the beaten track then this could be the right option for you.

If you're looking for an authentic Vietnamese experience right on a beautiful beach, and the freshest seafood served right on the beach every evening, then this could be the place for you. Our host Phong went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and his hospitality really made a difference.

The property was good just the plastic left by all of the beach visitors is so sad but the property is doing all it can to keep the beach beautiful.

This is a wonderful little place with a beautiful beach. Guests just need to be prepared that it is very popular with locals in the evenings from about 4pm but things quieten down after 10pm, it’s absolute heaven for the day as you might well have the beach to yourself.

There were some issues but the owner managed well.

Fantastic location and great sea food fresh fished from the sea. Very sympathetic owner.

Had to walk through narrow village lanes to get to resort (not ideal if one has a lot of luggage)

Staff was friendly

The family are working hard building new bungalows and renovating the existing two bungalows. It will look great when the work is complete. We wish the family good luck with their new business.

Bai Xep Beach Homestay is located right on the beach - it is in the best position for beach-side accommodation. The bar / restaurant is festooned with lights and lanterns and is a great setting for a beach-side stay. The family offer fresh fish from the day’s catch and/ or standard homestead dishes - fried rice and noddles etc. A self-guided walk to a waterfall and swimming hole was a highlight. We swam several times - take care as the waves break close to the shoreline and the rip is strong beneath. But with care, the swimming was lovely especially early morning.

The bathrooms have seen better days and renovations are planned.

Fong, the host, was super friendly and helpful, dealing promptly with all our needs. Location is great, directly at the beach. Room is overlooking their small restaurant and the beach.

Friendly straf and a great location if you want to get away from the busy cities!

Sadly there where no sun beds or lounge chairs or even hammocks available. Also the other hotels wouldn’t rent some out, so we were left with chairs and towel in the sand. So keep that in mind if you want a view days of beach time.

The Location of the rooms is truly spectacular. The rooms look out directly onto the beach. Its super nice. the rooms itself are simple. Just a big bed and a small bathroom. All very practical and ok for our trip.

The location was incredible and the family are absolutely wonderful. We had fresh seafood at our fingertips every moment, a quiet beautiful beach, waterfall and mountain stream swimming holes nearby. The fishing village is so quaint and the people are very friendly and kind.

Stayed in January 2025

The staff could have been more proactive. We had to seek out service. The cleanliness of the rooms, bathroom and restaurant needs improvement.

This place is all about the location. It's right on the beach and the rooms have great Seaviews. The beach is kept lovely and clean. The accommodation is a 4 mins walk through the fishing village alleys which we loved because it gave a very real view of life in fishing village. Might be an issue if you have lots of luggage. Every evening seafood restraints are set up on the beach and we enjoyed a delicious fresh feast with Seaview.

The amount of trash that is left behind by their seafood restaurant on the beach each night. The meals were not so western-friendly - we tried ordering salads but the dressings were strange and the regular chicken salad had sea grapes (like edible seaweed) in it. We did enjoy the seafood, but what was delivered didn’t always match the photos (eg we ordered clams that had a photo of clams, but received a type of mussel that they explained was Vietnamese clams). The restaurant next door at the Haven is good though. The bathrooms were not great. Also, it’s just so busy with people coming down to the beach for the restaurants, there’s no privacy.

The location - right on a stunning beach.

No sheets

Location, unfortunately the locals had food market on beach each night and didn’t clean to a high standard. Leaving rubbish on the beach

The location is unbeatable. The seafood was amazing and all of the staff, especially Lee, could not have been more friendly, gracious and helpful. Such a super relaxing place.

We stayed in the old bamboo hut which is very old indeed but has a great view from the bedroom. Unfortunatly there were several rats running around right next to our bed at night. The hotel boosts a back to basic backpacker vibe but doesnt charge backpacker prices. Too expensive for what you get.

Beautiful location on the beach, even better than the pictures. But dont expect anything extra like a sunbed or some shade. Even the (half inflated) sup s werent free.

We had an amazing stay here at Bai Xep Beach! Would highly recommend it to everyone! The room is 2 steps away from a very nice beach that does not have any tourists. The restaurant of the owner has very good fresh fish every day. The staff is very friendly. We took our time here to relax and stayed on the beach, but the owner offered us to bring us to the waterfalls or other activities. He also asked us if we would like to go fishing with his dad or if we would like to rent motorbikes. So there’s enough activities here as well! We loved it here! Thank you very much for the wonderfull time.

We were kept awake for two night due to incessant barking of the dogs which started at 10 when the restaurant closed until sun up. It is situated right next to an alleyway that people use as the only access road so very noisy

The view from the bungalow was magnificent. Unfortunately the bungalow is very old with holes in the wall and roof. New bungalow have been built which look absolutely lovely unlucky for us that they were already booked. The staff were absolutely lovely

Loved everything.

Amazingly peaceful spot with beautiful food (seafood straight off the owner’s family’s fishing boat) and a super friendly host who will do anything you need and offer you a very warm welcome. Super relaxing.

The people

Stayed in November 2023

Not a lot to not like. Bungalows on the beach with restaurant and bar. Most rooms seemed to have a balcony or porch looking out to the beach and nearby activity. The owner made a huge effort in all respects to accommodate my stay, including driving me back to the town to withdraw money before the train.

Stayed in September 2023

Very nice and budget friendly accommodation in beautiful and quiet Bai Xep beach. Its small homestay style place with ~5 accommodation units. It is run by very nice family, they also have a restaurant in premises. Definitely recommend this if you want some peace and quiet and enjoy a bit different vibe in Vietnam. Seafood is must try, very good!

Stayed in October 2023

The room is not in good condition, I can smell the mold. They prepare and clean the food behind my room so I can smell the fish sometimes. The water was weak.

The place is by the beach. The owner is nice. They also have a restaurant there with good food and drinks.
