Great!

The family was incredibly kind and accommodating- always welcoming and smiling. The room was spotless and had dark curtains, a comfy bed, and strong A/C. The bathroom was clean (although the small shower partition didn’t do much to keep the floor dry). The location was great; the homestay is tucked down a quiet street just far enough away from the noise but convenient enough to walk to the hustle and bustle.

Når 5 stjerne ikke er nok!

De sødeste værter, som virkelig sørgede for at man ikke manglede noget og altid var meget hjælpsomme. Værelset og faciliteterne var helt i top! Lokationen er også helt perfekt. 5 minutters gang til den gamle by og væk fra alt larm. Man får virkelig meget for pengene. Der er intet at sætte en finger på!

The location was great, away from the crowds and quiet. There was no patio for breakfast as pictured in description. Breakfast was served in stuffy room with no A/C or open ventilation. One of the women stood directly behind me the entire time I ate my breakfast on two mornings so I opted out on last day. The same woman also stood over me as I tied my shoe on the steps every day. My room stated it had a garden view. There was no garden. I looked out at a roof and an unkempt yard.

Outstanding, friendly place to stay

Fantastic place to stay, 5 minute walk into Ancient Town, but far enough out to be nice and quiet. Lovely family who run this Homestay, and very helpful. Breakfast was nice and we also used them for our airport transfers. The room we had was well appointed and the whole place was spotless. Would highly recommend.

New Tourist Assault Weapon

The Riverlige Homestay is a very neat clean comfortable place to stay and the hosts are absolutely top notch. But about 4PM everyday about 200 bus loads of Chinese tourists are trucked in from Danang and it is difficult to move about freely. It is a shame as Hoi an is a beautiful place but it cannot handle anywhere near the current amount of tourists arriving. But they are building more hotels everywhere so more people are expected.

A very comfortable stay in a good location

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at River Life. The family was always available and eager to make my stay enjoyable. Upon my arrival, I was given a huge plate of exotic fruit, most of which I couldn't identify, but it was really, really good. The location was quiet, yet within easy walking distance of everything you would want to see or do. There were plenty of good restaurants nearby, as well as good street food. There was a bus to take me to Da Nang Airport for 110000 dong(<$5) that picked me up right at the door. I would definitely stay here again.

Best stay in Vietnam.

Loved this small family business. Chi and her family live on premises and front desk is always staffed. Arrived just 4 days after a cyclone that flooded the lobby to 3’ Yet everything was sparkling clean and ready for me. I was sick for part of my visit and can’t say enough good about Chi’s care and concern for me. She made me soup, arranged for meds from pharmacy. I felt so ill n vulnerable but I was safe in her hands. No elevator but stairs were easy. I was two floors above lobby with a wonderful river view from my bed n a small balcony. Roomy and clean. Very comfortable. Easy walk to old town. Endless choices nearby for food n shopping n photos. You could not make a better choice.

Home Away From Home

We cannot say enough good things. My wife & I arrived in Hoi An at 6am from Mûi Né. Being used to strict check-in times, we taxi’d to the hotel to get an idea of location & would walk around ‘til 2pm. As we were walking away, the doors opened & without hesitation, Thi checked us in 8 hours early!! No questions, no extra charges. It’s located on a quiet road away from the hustle of old town but only a quick 5-10 minute walk to get to town. There are a few shops & restaurants just down the street. Thi helped to arrange transportation to wherever we needed. They have onsite bicycles to rent for <$2/day, which we took around old town & the beach. When we got sand & dirt all over our Teva sandals, Thi not only washed them for us, but she also took a toothbrush to them & got all the sand out. She rewashed them for us at checkout so they’d be fresh for our continued journey. Very sweet & unexpected. The rooms are of typical size & very clean. The beds have been the most comfortable beds we’ve slept on. My wife loved two small ‘Asian’ blankets that was provided. Breakfast was an additional cost. We found having breakfast there was cheaper or comparable to eating out. The hospitality is nothing but amazing. It was apparent to us that they take pride in their business. And making their guests feel welcomed & taken care of is 100% genuine.

Loved our stay!

Stayed 1 night in the standard double room with river view. Room was clean with a small balcony and a nice view of the river, the room itself is massive for 2 people (Note - This homestay does not have a lift). The hotel is a short 5-10 minute walk to the Ancient Town, with awesome eateries on the other end of the island. The family that run this place are what make this place stand out. I have stayed at many budget and high end hotels around the world and have not found any service more friendly and hospitable than here. In particularly, Thi, the owner, is lovely. On arrival we were greeted by Thi and she gave us a rundown of the surrounding area, shops, restaurants and organised cheap transport for us to Da Nang airport for the following day. She walked us up to our room at which point she realized the light in the bathroom was flickering, she had the light bulb changed immediately for us. Throughout our short stay here she was nothing but friendly and warm every time we saw her. We only stayed here for 1 night but it has left a lasting impression on us. There was nothing i could fault about the room or the service. If you are looking for a place to stay near the Ancient Town, i would recommend skipping the more expensive hotels and staying here. The next time i am in Hoi An i will definitely be staying here again!

Fantastic, cheap, close to old town

Gorgeous family run place, cheap, clean, great WiFi and only a short walk to the old town. This place is great if you want somewhere quiet and away from the really busy old town, access to local eateries - much cheaper and more authentic. Close to the river and a short cycle to Cam Kim Island. The owners couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating

They even gave me a ride to meet my tour after I slept in. Riverview room was great, quiet with a little balcony. A welcome oasis just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of Hoi An.

Homestay a little out of the way.

You pay $4 extra each for a simple breakfast with a few options like yogurt, fruit, musli, vietnamese pancakes, or vietnamese lunch dishes like soup. We had tiny little ants in the room after the second night, in the bathroom they liked my shampoo, and I woke to them under my pillow, may have liked my cookie crumbs. We were on 2nd floor, no elevator, not a big deal though. Hot in the house, but cool in airconditioned bright room. Near karaoke bar, could hear them for an hour each night around 8-9pm. Cleaning service available daily, Alocate a good 20 min walk into town.

Perfect place to stay in Hoi An

Riverlife was more than I could have hoped. The family living on the residence is very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to spend some time with them. The room was very clean. The AC and wifi worked great and the bed was huge. They have on site motorbike and bike rental for fair prices. The location is a little bit out of the main walking town of Hoi An, but my wife and I enjoyed the short 5-10 minute walk to the center of town. Since it is on a small island in the middle of the river, there is very little traffic compared to the North side of town. Would stay again without hesitation.
