Absolutely Recommend!
Great stay. Super comfortable bed, clean, comfortable, & away from the madness of the centre. Lovely pool. Adequate breakfast. Places to eat close by without going into town, though Hoi An itself only a 20 minute walk to centre. Bit of a walk to the beach, however easy when using the free bicycles. Don't hesitate booking any trips through Mr Ly, you won't get a cheaper price, and tickets delivered to accommodation. Family run, lovely people. Mr Ly is super helpful with any questions. Leaves you to relax unless you require help. Area nice. Would like to think we arrived as clients, and left as friends. Great place, thoroughly recommend.

Amazing value for money!! The room is massive and was cleaned every day. In a good location and nice and quiet. We extended about 4 times as it was so good! Unfortunately I only used the pool once as it was so cold and the shower was often tepid/luke warm regardless of the time of day or night but they were the only down points.

Gorgeous pool and outstanding staff.
We just had a 10 day stay at the hotel. Staff were all extremely helpful and couldn't have done more for us. Value for money this hotel is outstanding. Price incl a lovely breakfast. The pool is gorgeous and beautifully maintained and super clean. It was a lifesaver retreat in the heat of the day. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Lee's the man
The owner of the guesthouse, Lee, was extremely service-oriented. He was quick to guide me on any issues regarding getting around. When I went for the in-house massage he recommended and there was a discrepancy in the price he told me and the price I was charged, he immediately refunded me the balance upon checking out. There were free bicycles available for us to use to get around Hoi An. Room wise, I booked a room for two. It was good but it was simply too big for a solo traveller. Two people will be nice. The furnitures were a little old and hot water only comes out of the shower intermittently. There is a little swimming pool and benches for guests to relax and unwind themselves. The breakfast was also pretty decent and their hot milk coffee was good. All in all, the stay was really memorable. One thing I really liked about the owner, Lee, was that he was really service-oriented and cares for your well-being. He was not out to rip you off unlike many of the locals you encounter at the markets or tourist sites. That alone made my stay memorable!

Nice and helpful family, great place
We had a great time in Hoi An and at at Hoi An Life Homestay, great location not in the centre but close enough, everyone was lovely and helpful, gave us some great advice ( cafe 43, really, amazing food, went there like four times in the end!) we enjoyed the big room with AC and fan (even if it could be quite noisy), free bicycles to get into town or to the beach, rented one of their motorbikes for just 100.000 vnd a day, and also enjoyed a few dips in the pool. Breakfast also was great. We even ended up staying one more night. Definitely recommend this place.

Stay here, it's fantastic!
We booked for 5 nights but extended our stay by 4 nights as we loved it here. The rooms are very big, clean and modern with 2 double beds and balcony if you stay in the second floor. The family are so nice and will help you with any requests you have. Food is very cheap if you like a snack and tasty! 2 free beers every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday so you can meet the family and other guests. Free bikes to use so you can cycle to An Bang Beach or visit the local town centre where you will find lantern village with lots of bars and resturants.

Quiet neighborhood, but be wary of bait and switch
The stay was pleasant although location is farther from town. Free bicycles take about 13min ride to the gates of the Old City. Neighborhood was quiet which made it nice for relaxing away from the crowds. Local food vendors line nearby streets (3 min by bike), althoguh they close earlier at night, around 9pm. The one major complaint I have was that the hotel switched me to a smaller/cheaper room than the one I had booked. At the end of the stay, I negotiated a discount but only after persistently arguing my case. Disappoited that they wouldn't admit to the bait and switch even when there was a sign posted right in the lobby on room rates and accommodations. Guests be wary!

Fantastic Homestay!
This is an amazing homestay! We arrived early morning (around 8am) as we had caught the night bus up from nha trang. We were able to check in and get access to our room by 9am which we hadn't expected. The room was lovely - spacious, clean and really homely with room service everyday. There was a bit of a confusion over whether our room rate included breakfast but this was sorted immediately and without hassle. The location is great - walking distance from old town yet quiet and peaceful. We used the free bikes everyday - good quality and plenty available for everyone. The breakfast is also great - good selection from a menu offering choice for both food (ranging from a variety of eggs and bread to pancakes and noodles) and drinks (tea, coffee, variety of fruit shakes and juices). Everything we tried was tasty but particularly the banana pancake and lemon juice! The hosts are incredible friendly and helpful - 100% recommend. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back if in hoi an!

Good and quiet homestay
Quiet, away from the bustling Hoi An tourist centre, yet near enough to cycle. Surprised at the value as the room was quite big with comfortable satellite TV, aircon and hot water. Free bicycle use and this was really useful to get around Hoi An and to the An Bang beach.

You won't regret.
Very good. Room is really big, you can have so much space to put your stuff down. A bit distance from town or beach but you can have free bicycle all the time. Breakfast is a bit bad esp all the drink is too sweet or taste a bit weired (you need to ask not to put suger and put yourself) but for the price i think it's alright. Not everything can be perfect. They cean your room everyday and get new towels. The owner is really helpful very welcoming. Totally recommand !

Perfect stay!
This was absolute nicest place we've stayed at thus far in Asia - and we've been here for 2 1/2 months. The room was huge, modern, tastefully decorated, bright, had windows and a balcony, was spotless, and the bathroom was very big and clean! Lee was very kind and helpful-especially with buying bicycles. Breakfast was delicious and filling. The honestly is outside the city centre, but and easy 15 minute bikeride. We really enjoyed our stay and 100% recommend this place!

Truly fulfilling and unforgettable !
It couldn't be better from any point of view, each detail was taken care to perfection. The owner Mr. Ly picked me up from Danang station. I just happened to say that I wanted coffee on the way to Hoi An, he called his family to prepare for the brunch by the time I got there. I was welcomed by the entire family, checke-in to the big spacious room with a balcony, have the brunch. I felt I was home with my own family in Vietnam, my Vietnamese family. Mr. Ly's mother and his wife smiling every moment, each time, and always there for me 50 times I needed them for help to book my tours, get the free bicycle to explore Hoi An, open the door, laundry, anything. It was like they are mind readers, they read it and do it, and it's done. They arranged my tours, pick-ups and drop offs to places by car, bought the plane tickets to Ho Chi Minh City at the most reasonable prices. Welcomed my friend who lives in Hoi An, spent hours chatting with us over the cup of delicious Vietnamese coffee. One day Mr. Ly and his mother spent almost the entire morning at the crowded local fortune-teller to translate for me. It was a personal request, and the family spent hours on me, like my own family would do. The last night, I was invited to a big home-cooked dinner. It was one of the best stays of my life. I am going back to Hoi An to stay with them as soon soon as I can, recommend it my friends and family. My many vacations are already booked at The Hoi An Life Stay.

Ruhig gelegenes, günstiges Hotel
Etwa 1km vom Zentrum an einer Nebenstraße. Lärm macht der Gockel nebenan und ggf. Der Starkregen, nicht der Verkehr. Die Betten sind sogar mit etwas zu hart und ich mag harte Matratzen. Die Räume und Bäder sind groß, könnten aber etwas mehr Deko und Einrichtung vertragen. Warmwasser kommt nur sehr schwach. Dafür sehr günstig. Raum ohne Frühstück buchen, ist den Preis nicht wert da man nur 1 Getränk und 1 Gericht bekommt. Personal war nett und hilfreich und nicht zu aufdringlich. Schirm und Radl gibts umsonst, allerdings würde ich nicht ohne Helm fahren, wer den Verkehr und die zahlreichen verletzten Touristen sieht weiß wieso ;) Und wers mag oder nur Urlaub macht um seine Leber mal Überstunden machen zu lassen, 3 mal die Woche gibts 2 VietBier frei.

Hôtel entre la plage et la vieille ville
Bicyclette requise pour la vieille ville et la plage. Prestation correcte, personnel serviable. Petit déjeuner un peu simple. Chambre d'une autre époque avec odeur d'humidité un peu désagréable. La plage un peu sauvage a été la plus belle découverte dans la région pour nous.
