Dao Lodge

Be careful. Bait and switch. Beautiful place but chances are they will move you to one of the many Homestay rooms. They wouldn’t honor our confirmed booking with Booking.com, which had the very pictures of the room that we’d booked! Wish I had listened to the reviews about this place beforehand.

Bait and Swich scam. I would give negative points if I could. Despite our protest and confirmed Booking.com booking that had pictures of the room that we had booked, they insisted that we had to stay at one of the more ordinary homestays in the area. We were too tired from all the driving to follow this up on the day (Oct 13 ) but for now, just hope that this review will help other travelers. In hindsight, I wish we would have listened to the reviews here (and also on Booking.com, they have low reviews) but after completing the Loop, we thought we would just treat ourselves to the ‘premier’ homestay in town that advertised ‘a bath’. We were sadly wrong. We ended up driving into town and found Kim Song Motel at 250k for their most spacious room. Now, that was a good, clean decent place with lots of eating and shop options just steps away!

We reserved a night at this place. We arrived somewhat late but it was deserted. Lights on, doors open but no-one around. We tried calling the number on the website, no-one answered and it did not ring there. We literally had to walk up the road to the next homestay to stay there since this place was so creepy

A comfortable home stay in the middle of nowhere. Nice bed, hot shower and the mini heater is a surprise bonus. Breakfast is simple but enough to get you going. ud83dudc4d

If you looking for a traditional Vietnamese homestay, this place is NOT the one. It's more a hotel build in semi-traditional style... Comfortable beds, OK showers and food. Good for a one night stay
