  The location was beautiful, the host was so friendly and is an amazing chef! The dogs slept outside our cabin, our little protectors. And the kittens were the cutest things to roam around. We were only going to stay one night and ended up staying two.

  If you like natural, rustic, chilled places then absolutely make the effort to stay here. Dzung is an incredibly interesting and talented guy who generously helped me when I had a problem with my bicycle. his cooking was a highlight as were the loveable gang of cats and dogs. In the morning we walked up a rice paddy to see breathtaking views over the lake, from there it was all about swimming, reading and playing with the dogs and cats. Took so many photos. Dzung also took me to see the Ra Lung village library project - very special experience, thank you.

  Oh, this kind of place will stay in you forever 🙂 Authentic, calm, beautiful… The owner is amazing, speaks English well, and is very friendly. The way there is a little bit tricky, but if you have basic knowledge of riding a motorbike, you can do it. We stayed only for one night. The owner made us an amazing dinner (he even caught his own fish to make some parts of the dinner). You can also ask for a kayak or paddleboard, he has those for rent. I personally had a problem with mobile service, but the calmness and vibe of that place fixed everything – I had a little social detox 😄 You can play with dogs or cats, don’t worry, otherwise they will play with you. No tourists, just you and nature… and also a few neighbours who will wave at you when you are coming. Oh, thanks for this experience. The owner is well educated, so he had no problem answering any of our questions. At morning he preparde cafe for me uhh it was one of the best I ever tasted. Be safe ✌️

  This place is special. Dzung has done an incredible job of creating a rustic paradise that celebrates local culture and makes you feel at home. There’s a sense of tranquility and peace here that radiates throughout every aspect of the experience. Amazing food, comfortable cabins, and gorgeous animals. Dzung is also a great human with a big heart and we can’t wait to come visit again soon.

  A lovely peaceful place nestled amongst the mountains of the central highlands. There is no wifi so this is a great chance to switch off and enjoy nature. Be it kayaking on the lake or having Dung guide you through the rice terraces and villages strewn through the surrounding area. Dung is also an excellent chef and a whipped up some delicious home-cooked meals. The whole experience is very restorative. Make sure you don’t follow Google maps and check Dung’s directions before you attempt to descend to the lodge. My only regret is not staying a little longer.

  One of my favorite stays in Vietnam. Off the beaten path but well worth it once you get there - a great, kind host and excellent homemade meals.

  This is a review on the road. Not on the guest house, because I couldn't make it there. If you go, know that the last 3km are extremely steep and muddy. I got there in 1st gear and continuously tipping the rear brake. If I did use the front brake I would immediately slip on the mud. He offered help and warned me in advance that it is "a bit muddy" but that's way understated. Here is what this review is about, what the owner should have communicated for guests safety: 1. Ride alone on one bike 2. Have a manual bike 3. Are an experienced rider This road is dangerous.
