The price was affordable, and there was hot water and a basic place to sleep. That’s where the positives end.
The host allowed construction workers into the house, and they wore my shoes and ruined them. I ignored it the first time, but when they destroyed a second pair, I contacted the host. She ignored my message and claimed the shoes got dirty by themselves. She defended the workers and showed no concern for me as a guest. It felt like guests are just money to her — if you don’t like it, she’ll find someone else.
– Loud construction noise starts early in the morning. – Neighbors often drink and throw loud parties. – Every morning, they blast music while working in the yard. – A karaoke bar 160 meters away plays music so loud that the windows shake. – A 90-year-old woman living in the house constantly watches everything you do. I couldn’t even inspect a parcel without her hovering. – The host’s family turns on the TV loudly at 2 or 5 AM. There’s constant noise outside the room — dancing, stomping. – They sometimes invite neighbors and party downstairs. – No sound insulation — everything is heard clearly. I never slept properly. – Taxis often refuse to drive into the narrow alley. – Ants are everywhere: in empty dishes, in the kettle, on the toilet. I had to wash the kettle with water and dry it before using it. I was afraid ants would crawl into the kitchen from the toilet. – Occasional power outages. – Anyone can enter the house — the entrance is not secured. – In the bathroom, water leaks from a lamp under electrical power. – Geckos live in the room; there are dogs in the house too.
One of the most stressful and uncomfortable stays I’ve had. Would not recommend to anyone who values peace, privacy, or...
Read moreI've stayed here for over a week and have really enjoyed my time here. I've had no issues whatsoever. I'm in one of the bigger rooms and there is a lot of space and natural light. There is a small kitchen, plenty of storage space, desk space and space to sit and eat meals. I liked it so much that I have extended my time. You see some family members from time to time doing normal house stuff but everyone is very friendly and always there to help! They also have some cute dogs :) You can also do laundry for free here and get a big 20L water bottle for 50,000 which is super handy. All in all, you get so much for the price.
The negative reviews are written by the same person (you can tell they are repeating the same issues in each review), please ignore those reviews. Just someone whose ego has been hurt and feels they need to leave fake...
Read morePerfect! Great location, quiet residential street, easy walking/cycling to both the old town and beach, free bike available at the property. Large room, high ceilings in the living/kitchen/bedroom area along with great a/c provided a very cool, comfortable, spacious relaxing/sleeping environment. Super comfy bed - had my best nights sleep yet on my 6 months travel! Super clean, all facilities I needed for my 7 night stay including use of washing machine. Incredibly helpful host - organised tours/tips on HoiAn/onward travel - such a lovely, welcoming lady. I needed some chilled downtime and Homeland Villa HoiAn enabled me to relax and recharge while enjoying all that HoiAn had to offer. Highly, highly,...
