  We stayed for 10 days and felt very comfortable and welcome! The room was very big, airy and bright and had nice seating areas like couch and soft chair- such comforts are not normally available in SEA, so very much appreciated. The host and all the staff were very kind and friendly and all our requests we met with a smile. The homestay is located at a very nice residential neighborhood at BMT which for us was an advantage as we could enjoy the countless local cafes and restaurants in a quiet atmosphere. Very recommended!

  Dislikes: That was OK to me when the restroom of my dorm room was in the second floor but it is going to require your effort a little bit. The table lamp doesn't work and needs fixing. Additionally, it takes about 15 minutes riding to the downtown if you want to eat different kinds of food. Likes: Since I was a little bit disappointed with Dray Sap and Day Nur, the hostel owner turned up as my savior. She definitely saved my next day by taking me to a new sight-seeing place together with her younger sisters and friends. Then I was invited over for lunch with them and had an opportunity to try Ede cuisine such as bitter garden egg soup and salad, pork BBQ and grilled chicken. I feel very content with this new experience and appreciative of the living activities you have been giving. The hostel itself was pretty good in every aspect including nice members of staff. Also, I like the comfortable bed and the thick blanket which kept me warm all night long. There was only me in the big 6-bed dorm so the atmosphere was very quiet. The floor and stairs were always kept clean and dry.

  Last week I stayed 2 nights at the highland house The place is clean, the rooms are nice. It is funny, they play the whole day until 10 in the evening music in the entrance hall. In the rooms you can hear the music very clear. Therefore it is not possible to rest during daytime. It seems to be a problem with those peoples mindsets. They think everybody like their weird music because they like it. For them having fun during work is superior to the well being of the paying guest. And they can not imagine that some people like to rest during daytime in the paid room. On both days people were working in the house with hammers. Maybe is hammering for them a substitute for music basses and drums.

  The house was generally very pretyy and the staffs were super friendly. We love the decorations and the lovely garden at the front, and the stay wad very pleasant. We also acknowledge the list of places to eat and to go around for guests. They even made a sketched map of places around the city. Plus, the TV inside our room is pre-set with owner’s Netflix account. If only they paid a little more care to refurnish the room’s furnitures and doors since they were abit old. Besides, we would recommend changing the motorbikes supply since the motorbike we rented were really old and it was very dauting to travel far, though high hills and muddy streets. However this place is highly recommended and if we have a chance to come back we will still love to stay at this place.

  I may have been the only one staying here the night I did, but the staff was friendly and helped me order some food (got in very late). Really big common room on the ground floor, and the whole place was very clean. There's a nice massage place around the corner (perfect after riding for 10 hours), and it's a nice short walk to downtown.|Downside: a little bit far from city center, but if you have your own bike or don't mind a nice walk it's fine. Got a taxi back from downtown after drinking and it was like $1.50.

  I travelled here alone and stayed in the dorm. I have to say this hotel is amazingly friendly and beautiful. I felt completely at home here. It has to be the cleanliest dorm ever and the staffs are so warm they made me feel like my younger sisters. I would definitely come back here again. Great job guysss!!!

  We stayed one night in Buon Ma Thout and just wanted a clean and nice room not too expensive. First we wanted to stay at Coffee Tour Resort but then we found the great recommendations about this hotel! And I can absolutely confirm the very good ratings! |There are dorms and private rooms. We payed 330.000 Dong/night for a private room with twin bed. |The staff is extremely helpful with recommended in and around the city and speaks very good English. It's a nice atmosphere when all the travelers sit in the coffee shop on the ground floor, read books, drink coffee juice or beer. The owner was also there in the evening and greeted every guest personally :) ||Only minus point are the very hard mattresses...

  I stayed here for two nights. It was in a reasonable distance as I checked in google map, but it is actually quite far. Because Buon Ma Thuot is a small city and most of restaurants/shops/entertainment places/attractions are located around the central area. The city went sleeping quite... sooner than expected; hence, travelling at night to go back to the homestay is not a pleasant.|However, motobike renting is available in homestay, so travelling around is still easy.|It is also near Trung Nguyen Coffee Village, a must-see/ must-taste attraction of Buon ma Thuot.|The room is (i believe) re-decorate/paint but still have sights of damp in the wall. Comfortable seperate room and doom/hostel rooms are available.|Staff is really nice and try their best to serve guests. But don't expect them to be a professional receptionists of a 4/5 star hotel.|The options for food (breakfast) are limited and expensive. Just 5-min traveling is adequate for you to have a nice bowl of Phở with a much more reasonable price.
