The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The breakfast and dinners were fantastic. We booked a boat tour with the same company that operates the homestay and it was great as well. It was a unique experience that we all really enjoyed.

Property info

Lan Ha Floating Homestay is a truly unique stay, floating peacefully in the heart of Lan Ha Bay, Cat Ba — far from crowds, noise, and mass tourism. This is not just accommodation, but a slow-living experience on the sea. Built with natural wood and local materials, our floating homestay blends comfort with nature. Each room offers open bay views, fresh sea air, and a calm atmosphere that helps guests disconnect from busy life and reconnect with nature. Wake up to sunrise over limestone islands, fall asleep with gentle waves beneath your room. Guests can enjoy kayaking directly from the homestay, swimming in clear waters, relaxing on the floating deck, or sharing meals with local flavors prepared fresh every day. Evenings are quiet, intimate, and unforgettable — surrounded by stars, lantern lights, and the sounds of the bay. If you are looking for something different, authentic, and deeply memorable, Lan Ha Floating Homestay is one of the most special places to stay in Cat Ba.

Neighborhood info

Staying at Lan Ha Floating Homestay means your neighborhood is Lan Ha Bay itself — calm waters, limestone islands, floating villages, and an ever-changing seascape right outside your room. What guests love most here is the feeling of having everything within reach without needing to go anywhere. Kayaking, swimming, relaxing on the deck, enjoying fresh meals, watching sunrise and sunset — all happen naturally as part of daily life on the bay. There are no busy streets, no traffic, no crowds — just water, sky, and quiet rhythms of local life. The surrounding area is home to floating fishing communities, hidden lagoons, and narrow channels perfect for gentle exploration. From the homestay, guests can paddle directly to peaceful spots, observe fishermen at work, or simply float and enjoy the stillness of the bay. For those who wish to explore further, Cat Ba Island and Lan Ha Bay’s highlights — such as beaches, caves, national park routes, and viewpoints — are accessible by boat. However, many guests choose to stay on the bay for most of their time, as the floating homestay already offers a complete, immersive experience. This neighborhood is ideal for travelers who value nature, simplicity, slow travel, and being present — where the journey doesn’t require movement, and the experience comes to you.
