La Belle Vie Tam Coc Homestay

Location was good. BE AWARE: I am listing a few facts & observations to ensure that everyone is fully prepared if they decide to go there: 1. the entrance of the hotel looks like a night bar with super loud music (it is 12pm). It is supposed to be their restaurant / bar open to all. I attached a pic of their reception. A joke 2. The person who welcomed us is a waitress and she only speaks Vietnamese. Chanel is her name (not sure about the spelling). Her 1st question: passport. Her 2nd question: pay cash NOW. The total price was slightly higher than the one booking.com guaranteed me. Not ok. 3. Chanel only cared about the money. We wanted to do laundry. as soon as we gave her our clothes she wanted the cash right away. 4. I booked two rooms with Garden view. There is no garden! We had a view on the concrete courtyard, which is the only thing they have anyway. I did see the garden pictures on Booking.com, but these are old and the garden does not exist anymore. It should be removed from their Booking.com profile 5. No one helped us with our luggage. 6. The facilities and rooms are run down (see pics) 7. The bathroom has a “ventilation” which is a big hole with NO mosquito net (and they do have lots of mosquitos). The sink is half broken and loose. There is no water pressure in the shower. We have to wait forever for the water to arrive. 8. There is no consistency in the rooms. I booked 2 of them. One has a TV and a fan the other does not. one has a mosquito repellent plug. The other does not. I asked for one. They said they will give it to me in the morning. They never did 9. The service: inexistent. Only the bar people are barely available for our questions. They are not helpful at all and there is no follow up 10. The second day there I ask for 2 bottles of water for our rooms (common and free in these countries since there is no drinkable water). They asked me to pay 60,000 VND. First it should be free, second, in the groceries store it is 20,000 VND… 11.

Loved the amount of options of things to do- pool, swim, foosball, etc. the room was clean and well kept as well! How scattered the patio tables and chairs were? that’s my only feedback literally

Great stay, a/c worked great, helpful staff Breakfast should be eaten as soon as possible as some items may warm up after sitting. Very grateful for food provided

Nice homestay with a great comfy place to hang out by the pool. Close to everything. The door didn’t shut properly. It had a gaping hole along one side allowing you to see a bit into the room. I crammed a towel into the hole and managed ok.

Excellent staff that went out of their way to help us even when we lost the key and also needed a shower in the evening before our night train. None

Location was great and host was very helpful. Lovely setting by the pool . Great value for money

Staff were very lovely, welcoming, and friendly. Nice big basic room which was clean.

Great location for what we needed and staff were very friendly. Room decor was a little dated but perfectly acceptable for a Homestay

Superb

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location and service. Quiet in the morning can hear bird singing

The location is perfect. The courtyard is amazing. The small staff is very friendly and accomodating. Excellent place for the money It's not the fault of the hotel, but everything at this time of year is damp. The bedding, towels and my clothes. I dont know if there is something they could do to remedy it. I met people who stayed at more expensive places having the same issues.

Besides being a very well kept and clean place, with a nice garden, swimming pool and very comfortable room and bathroom, the staff is charming and help you in every possible way. The breakfast was original and delicious. The location is in the center of the town.

Flexible booking It wasn’t clean so I didn’t eat breakfast there. The first morning the women who seems really nice was gardening and stopped to get my breakfast. Her hands still had a lot of dirt from the garden when she handed it to me so I didn’t feel right eating it. The next day my pancakes had residue of tomatoes and scrambled eggs. Felt like I was given someone’s left over so I didn’t eat it. There wasn’t hot water one of the mornings so had a cold shower. I also had to ask for clean towels and water on the 3rd day so it’s weird this wasn’t done daily. Overall it wasn’t horrible because the family seems really nice but I wouldn’t stay again as I felt uncomfortable.

Friendly family-run property with a nice pool. Really comfy bed as well -

All was very good at la belle vie. Rooms, swimming pool, breakfast as well as the very helpful and friendly staff. We had some noisy retiree groups during our two day stay, who made noise as of 5 am on both days. This was not the fault of the la belle vie staff but it would have good that they have calmed them down.

Great location, perfect garden with swimming pool, good breakfast with many fresh fruits, lovely owners

Can’t fault them they were exceptional

ideal location excellent friendly staff, always happy and happy to chat can be a bit noisy at times but earplugs muted this
