What Guests Say About Their Stay

NGUYEn T. H. C.

/ 10
The owner is very cute and super enthusiastic. The room price is cheap but the quality is very, very good. The room is always cleaned by the girls. The room is also located right in the center of Cat Ba town, convenient for traveling. Will definitely come back to this hotel. Oh, everyone should book a tour to Lan Ha Bay from the hotel owner, because the price is very cheap, suitable for students like us, even cheaper than other places to book tours.

Room for 4 people but a bit small, old toilet, door is stuck and difficult to open and close, service is expensive but there is no drinking water or snacks available, the only good thing is that it is near the square but the experience here is not good.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your experience! It's a bit of a shame that the room wasn't exactly what you imagined, because there's construction going on outside lately so it's hidden. But it's really nice to know that you and your friend still had a good trip. Hope to come back if you have the chance!

The receptionist in the morning was very enthusiastic and cheerful, but I was not satisfied with the attitude of the receptionist in the afternoon and evening. The cleaning lady was very cheerful and friendly. The room was normal, with lots of mosquitoes. If I chose it, I would not come back.

Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Gem Hostel. We are very happy to know that you were satisfied with the enthusiastic support from the morning receptionist and the friendliness of the housekeeping staff. However, we are very sorry and sincerely apologize for the things that did not satisfy you, especially the service attitude of the evening receptionist and the mosquito problem in the room. We have noted this feedback and will seriously check and correct our service attitude, at the same time increase room cleaning and periodic insect treatment to avoid affecting the guest experience in the future. We look forward to having another opportunity to welcome and serve you more thoughtfully next time. Sincerely, Gem Hostel
