Henry
The rooms at Phong Nha Gecko Hostel are cozy and comfy, making me feel right at home during my stay. As a budget traveler, I appreciate the value for money and the welcoming atmosphere.
Personally, I found the 24-hour front desk a bit noisy at times, but hey, some people might actually enjoy the buzz!

I stayed at Phong Nha Gecko Hostel for 2 nights as I traveled south through Vietnam. The staff, especially the woman with short hair, were super sweet and helpful, giving me detailed directions. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of choices. I also loved that the drinks were free and unlimited. The location of the hostel in the center made it convenient for transportation. a great experience.
Totally recommend this hotel.

As youngsters, we loved the spacious dorm rooms with attached washrooms and good air conditioning. The breakfast was delicious, and we could choose anything from their extensive menu. The tour guide for our trip was the best we had during our whole month of traveling.
Felt very well taken care of, no complaints at all.

The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and helped us with every little detail. The breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect. We will definitely be coming back here in the future.
Leaky shower.

The staff was so knowledgeable, they made me feel like a geography expert. The terrace had a stunning view of the garden, perfect for pretending I was in a Jane Austen novel. I loved exploring with the bike they rented me.
Absolutely nothing! It was all perfect!

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to assist me during my stay. They were knowledgeable about local attractions and gave great recommendations for things to do and see. the hostel had a nice and cozy lobby area with cool furniture, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
There were several aspects that left me disappointed. the showers only had cold water and the hot water seemed to be unreliable, working one night and not the next.

Fantastic stay!
I had such a great experience at Phong Nha Gecko. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The common room had a cozy and comfortable vibe, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The bathroom and beds were spotlessly clean, which is always a priority for me. And let's not forget about the amazing breakfast! The pancakes with fruit were a delicious treat in the morning. I had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hostel for anyone visiting the area.

The hotel's location on the main street makes it convenient for easy access to bus drop-offs and exploring the town. Additionally, the large and clean rooms with good air conditioning offer a comfortable stay. Moreover, the friendly and accommodating staff provide excellent service, allowing guests to enjoy their breakfast even if they wake up late and ensuring that luggage is safely kept.
The security of the hotel is questionable, as there were no staff in the building during the late hours, leaving the lobby unattended and passports vulnerable.
