吉婆島生態小屋

Amazing stay with our three daughters

Excellent Lodge et super rapport qualité/prix. Je recommande.

The place is completely rundown, nothing looks like the pictures. The room was filled with mosquito and food choice was limited and horrible. Dont book this place even if you think is a good deal it will be a nightmare.

Opzet is leuk. Personeel doet hun best. Kamers waren verouderd. Lekkende airco. Beperkte eetmogelijkheden. Prijs aan de hoge kant. Leuke locatie maar ver van cat ba town en andete attracties. Eco lodge levert 1 transport gratis naar cat ba town 's morgens om 9.00u en je kan gratis terug om 12.30u of 16.00. Zelf met de taxi is een retourtje omgerekend 16 euros. Locatie verhuurd scooters.

Après de longues recherches, nous avons opté pour le Cat Ba Ecolodge. Un endroit isolé en pleine nature, loin des horreurs de Cat Ba Town. Le cadre est joli mais les installations manquent d'une petite touche de finition et annonce un vieillissement difficile. Le tout donne en effet une impression de bricolage. Alors que nous avions réservé (et payé depuis plusieurs mois) une chambre familiale (avec frigo, tv, ...), nous avons d'abord été accueillis par le manager qui n'avait aucune trace de notre réservation et nous a attribué deux mini-chambres dans un chalet éloigné. Chambres minuscules, matelas au sol, châssis et portes mal calibrés laissant passer tous les insectes (heureusement, nous avions nos propres moustiquaires), salle de douche/wc des plus rustiques, sans aucun des éléments compris dans le descriptif convenu à la réservation. Le tout en nous prétendant nous avoir upgradés. Un comble ! En matière de repas, ce fut certainement une de nos moins bonnes expériences au Vietnam, sans parler des petits-déjeuners qui étaient vraiment "cheap" et décevants! Concernant Cat Ba, notre plus belle expérience fut un trek très physique dans la jungle, pour traverser (avec un guide, c'est impératif !) la réserve naturelle jusqu'au village de Viet Hai (10 km de côtes et de descentes abruptes et glissantes, dans une végétation luxuriante), suivie de quelques km à vélo jusqu'au port du même nom et d'un retour en bateau jusqu'à Cat Ba Town à travers la magnifique baie de Lan Ha.

Thanks all you guys for good job. I’m happy with that and will see again

I like everything of this eco lodge, the surroundings, the design, the hospitality of the host. The host is very nice and arrange different activities for us, like a boat trip to Lan ha bay, some recommended trekking routes, along with some pick up service. Thanks so much! As the eco lodge is near the nature, you may meet some little insects, but it is very normal and the room is very clean.

The lodge was beautiful. The staff was nice and helpful, they even set up a perfect day trip of ha long bay. Would love to go back.

A very picturesque spot. Some lovely hikes from the lodge, butterfly valley was very nice & did see hundreds of butterflies. Staff are extremely attentive and go out of their way to make your stay just perfect. Food was very tasty & fairly reasonable in price & breakfast good too. The present owners have great plans to improve the place even more, it was a unique experience. The twice daily free shuttle into Cat Ba town was really handy so we didn’t feel stranded with no transportation.

Cat Ba Lodge is a decent place. It is in the process of becoming eco friendly and there is a lot that the property is working towards in improving itself. At the moment, I wouldnt regard it as a greatly comfortable place, though its not bad. The staff went out of their way in ensuring they made the stay as comfortable as possible. There isnt much in the immediate vicinity except for trekking through the national park. Town is a good 30 min drive. Rooms are basic and more can be done to provide a forest like experience in comfort,

If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings, this is a very good choice. It is completely off the beaten track but we never had any difficulty getting to or from the lodge. The staff are delightful and go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the bathrooms/wet rooms are large and well equipped. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced-I recommend the vegetable spring rolls. In these days of plastic pollution it was lovely to find bamboo straws in use-I wonder where I can buy them.

Had a great stay here. A little away from town but a short taxi ride away are great shop front eateries, shops etc. the lodge provides a free shuttle to town at 9 am returning at 4. Meals were great and the complimentary breakfast great. Staff were both friendly and helpful, cannot talk more highly of them. Would definitely go back. There are apparently plans for a pool which would be a fantastic addition.

What started as a last minute booking for one night ended up being an amazing 3 night stay. I recommend the cruise in Lan Ha bay, its mostly inside the quiet protected park area and comes with a delightful lunch and kayak trip to a lagoon. They've put together a great, mellow way to experience Cát Bà island away from the tourist mess.

Endroit paradisique, on ne s’y attendait pas. Au milieu de nulle part, nous avons séjourné dans une maisonnette comfortable. Le seul hic est l’insonoris qui laisse à désirer. Pour quelques tongs, il est possible de louer un scooter à la journée, le centre de Cat Ba se trouve à 15-20 minutes et la balade pour y arriver est ravifiante. Le personnel était adorable et à l´ecoute pour organiser notre court séjour. Ils ont un peu de travail sur les cocktails mais ça restait correct. Nous regrettons de n’y avoir passé qu’une nuit.

We stayed here for 2 nights, it's a little out of the way but that's why it's wonderful. Sucha pretty and relaxing place, taxis are cheap or you can rent a scooter for £3 a day. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was lovely, the rooms are clean and quirky and the general atmosphere of the hotel is welcoming.

The staff was wonderfully accommodating and helpful. The location is far off the beaten track, but that's what we expected and enjoyed. The room, unfortunately, while spacious and overall decent, was lacking - the heating didn't work, and the hot water ran out and never came back (both might have been unfortunate luck, and the problems were relevant in the middle of the night and we stayed only one night so couldn't experience any fix). The room was clean overall, as was the entire hotel, but the room did smell a little. Then again - its a lodge in the middle of the jungle of Cat Ba Island, so some of this should be expected.

the road to hotel is bad. far from central city (of course, I noted and choosed) We can hear the voice and noise from next room.

The surroundings are wonderful, with fantastic views of the mountains although not the easiest for taxi drivers to access. The room and amenities were clean and the servers were kind. The room setup and eating area was very simple. I'd suggest to ownership to invest a little in decorations as some basic improvements could make a huge difference in the overall feel. Also, the large wardrobes which block the rooms' only window is unnecessary and prevents much-needed natural light. Otherwise an enjoyable stay!

Die Lodge liegt versteckt im Wald in einer Sackgasse. Es ist sehr ruhig und ohne Autoabgase, was für Vietnam nicht normal ist. Das Zimmer war zweckmäßig, groß und sauber. Zum Frühstück gab es leider immer das selbe-Toast, Spiegelei und Butter/Marmelade. Abends konnte man alacart bestellen, was immer sehr gut geschmeckt hat. Die Anlage ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, den Naturpool von der Hotelbeschreibung gibt es nicht mehr. Wär kein Problem mit Hunden, Geckos, Schlangen und Mücken hat, findet dort Ruhe und Erholung.

I went in January during Tetvso Cat Ba was a little quiet. The ground of the Eco Lodge are stunning and if you like hiking and being at one with nature this is definitely worth staying! The staff were amazing, a young married couple. They asked me to join them for dinner one evening which was sublime. I wld return again if I was to return to Cat Ba. However, it is a Eco Lodge, so if you want bells and whistles this might not be for you!
