We enjoyed our short stay here. Breakfast buffet was excellent and the staff was very helpful.

I cannot recommend The Secret Garden enough! This place is truly the heart and soul of Cat Ba, offering the perfect blend of social vibes, comfort, and adventure. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home. The rooms are spotless, the beds are spacious, and the overall atmosphere is warm and inviting. The toilets are surprisingly spacious, and the showers are incredibly well-designed with travelers in mind—thoughtful touches that make a big difference. But what really sets this place apart is the incredible staff, especially the manager, Easy. He is the heartbeat of The Secret Garden—always leading by example, never just bossing people around. Whether it’s helping with day-to-day tasks or ensuring everyone from guests to staff is having a great time, Easy’s hands-on approach and positive energy are contagious. He’s someone you’ll remember long after you leave. The hostel is packed with activities that make it impossible to get bored. From daily themed nights (quiz night was my absolute favorite!) to the unique herbal foot bath, there’s always something fun to do. I loved the creative opportunities, like painting a mural for a free stay, and the chance to explore the island while earning free drinks and other perks. The boat tour I booked through the hostel was fantastic—well-organized, reasonably priced, and packed with memorable moments. What’s even better is that booking through the hostel costs the same as anywhere else, whether online or with other operators. Plus, booking through them earned me free drinks, which was a nice bonus! The Secret Garden is more than just a place to stay—it’s a community. It’s the perfect spot to meet fellow travelers, share stories, and create lasting memories. Whether you’re looking to explore, socialize, or try something new, this hostel has it all. Thank you, Easy and the entire team, for making my stay so special. The Secret Garden is a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cat Ba!

One of my favorite hotels in Vietnam so far. So nice and comfy. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I wish could have stayed longer.

The boat was fantastic. The food was excellent, and really enjoyed the activities. The staff were professional and friendly. Our personal butler Tam was the most amazing person we have met on our vacation and her personal touch made the trip that much better
