    Nothing

    The hosts were very friendly and arranged boat tickets, pick-up, snorkeling, etc. The location is very nice, in a more quiet part of the island, but the beach and some great bars / restaurants are just 100m away. The room was simple but clean, and had everything I needed. It really was a super relaxing, worry-free stay, and I 100% recommend booking this accommodation if you want to stay on the island!

    If we knew the stay was going to be this much fun, we would’ve done more than just one nights stay.

    Love the host - Lau, Thu, Trung! English wasn’t their forte but body language was enough to understand each other. Very welcoming from organising the pick up of my boyfriend and I from the pier to then taking us out snorkelling 🤿 with their family dog! We knew we weren’t the only lucky tenants staying here as we befriended and connected with a group of four lovely backpackers from Europe. The sunset was pretty 😍 and dinner with other guests were so much fun!

    I'm totally nitpicking but if I had to say something negative, the bathroom could be better and mosquitoes could come in. If you need a hot shower, which you probably don't, you have to let them know and they will switch it on for you. Its conserves energy that way.

    The whole family treated us (all the guests) as if we were one of them. Nothing was too much trouble. I was met at the port and scootered up to the homestead. The beach is 2 minutes walk away and you can snorkel and see corals and fishes on the left of the swimming beach. Dinner was provided and brought to the beach for you when the weather was fine. The son brought us snorkelling the next day and we would have done a lot more if the tropical storm had not broken out. We were really looked after and had a pretty good time nonetheless. Loved their dog. Really cool character. Accompanied us on our snorkelling trip. I cannot recommend this place more.

    The loveliest family ever, Lau Thu made us feel so welcome and comfortable. They made delicious food everyday served on the beach and organised our transport all over the island (including boat trips). Room was really clean and spacious with aircon and rooftop terrace. Would highly recommend for this beautiful island - we wish them the best

    Very simple but clean place. The family is very nice. The food is simple but very good. They’re always happy to sort out things for you ( motorbikes, travelling back to the port,stay longer than expected….) One can feel a little bite under pressure to eat at their’s. Don’t hesitate to say « no Thanks » and go your own way! They don’t mind in fact. They are just very concerned that « their tourists » are comfortable ! Their snorkelling place is certainly not the best, however it was very nice sailing there in the family ‘s coconut boat. One more thing: the mattresses are closer to a wooden board. But we adapted very quickly, and even discovered hardest ones later!

    Bathroom could have been cleaner, minor stuff like sand on the bathroom floor.

    Host met us and took us back to the ferry. Comfortable beds and good AC. Dinner on the beach was great with local seafood and chicken. Huge servings of fried rice. Proprietors were friendly, and efficient. Snorkel trip was amazing with a ride on a coconut boat.

    Loved the stay on cham island. Wish we had extended. Great location, spent our days on the scooter discovering the lovely Island. The son at the Homestay was really kind and tried his best making us understand what was happening. Lovely dinners. Nice to meet new people at the homestay.

    Bit of a language barrier, but that makes it fun.

    Loveliest family who takes care of you like you’re one of their own. They pick you up at the harbour. The food and coffee is delicious and you stay in great spacious rooms. You can have breakfast, lunch and dinner by the beach and they offer to bring you on a snorkeling or fishing trip. Great place to stay at if you want to explore Cham Island!

    On the final day we were asked to leave because our boat was coming early. We packed up and when leaving realised that this wasn’t true but that the next residents had arrived so they wanted us gone. We ended up being taken to the dock and left for over an hour in the midday heat with young children. It was a shame as it put a disappointing end on an otherwise lovely trip. Also there are no cars on the island and to get to the house you have to take a motorbike for 15 minutes across the island, beautiful but can get a bit steep at times. We had young children with us and no helmets were offered so the experience was a bit anxiety inducing. Though to be fair the kids loved it and in the end all was well.

    Simple but comfortable stay with good air conditioning. The family were helpful and the food they provided was lovely. Worth doing the snorkelling trip offered, we had a great morning at a secluded beach.

    We didn’t realise that the family also provide a good service (extra charge) and we felt at times guilty for not buying meals from them.

    It was spacious and very clean. There was a rooftop terrace, which was really nice in the evening where we enjoyed delicious cocktails made by the son who had watched YouTube videos to understand how to do it. The family were very welcoming and met us at the harbour. We didn’t realise this at the time and so were slightly confused. To hire bikes you should be charged just 150k per day, so be sure to check this on arrival. The family also organised snorkelling for us - we travelled across in a coconut boat to the snorkel site which was great. The family were always on hand.

    The family is extremely nice. You go here not to be a tourist, but to be part of the family. You feel at home and very welcome. It has been an amazing experience, to live like locals, to experience their culture. Something very much different and absolutely recommended to anybody who travels to discover different cultures and populations. The family also offers snorkeling activities and tours of the island by motorbikes: both absolutely recommended!
