The area is still developing and there isn’t too much information regarding accomodations.  A lot of the local hotels are not online so it may be easiest to try to contact those who are and ask for some recommendations if they don’t have vacancy.  Accomodations are generally basic, but clean and comfortable.  It is the authentic countryside we are looking for here, so there aren’t any 4- or 5-star hotels/resorts.

We stayed at Phong Nha Farmstay, which we absolutely loved!  I’ve posted some info below, as well as other options that are available.

Phong Nha Farmstay (Tel: 052 367 5135; Email: phongnhafarmstay@gmail.com) – Located 8km from Phong Nha town & 40 min from Dong Hoi Train Station, you’ll find a beautiful retreat nestled between the rice fields.  Cost is $35/night for a double bed and private washroom (food not included).  The owners, Ben & Bich, as well as the great front desk team, are a wealth of information.  They gave us great suggestions on what we can do for the days we didn’t have a tour booked.  And they were very helpful in answering our questions prior to our arrival, and assisting with advance tour bookings.

Another great thing about Farmstay is their food!  Before and after our very active days, we loaded up on items from their extensive menu & from their daily specials board.  Check out their rooftop in the evening and enjoy the sunset with a drink (bring your camera).  They’ve got a cool contraption that transports ice cold beer directly to you 🙂

Easy Tiger Hostel (Tel: 052 367 7844, Email: easytigerphongnha@gmail.com) – Located on the main strip in town, you will find that the hostel provides all the basic essentials, has air conditioning (which is very important), wifi & can easily assist you with arranging transport or tours.  They have a patio in front for you to enjoy some food and drinks.  Cost is $8/night, including breakfast.

Hotels Along Main Street – There are a number of options around Easy Tiger Hostel, in the centre of town.  You can find options for private rooms here as well.
