"Luna's is a great place when staying in Cat Ba Island. Harvey who works in the reception is such a great help and a lot of fun! You get free breakfast on the roof every morning and in the evenings the roof makes for a really good social spot for making new friends. All in all, I'll recommend Luna's big time!"

"Very happy with my stay in Cat Ba Life Hostel. A new hostel opened only in December 2019. The rooms were clean and spacious with private bathroom. The bed sheets, pillow covers, towels everything was quite clean. And whenever I needed a new one I could just ask for it and get it. It is quite centrally located in the Cat ba town walking distance from the harbour, beaches, all the good eateries Yummys 1 & 2, Casa Bonita, Little leaf, Napolis, Buddha Belly etc. It is located in a peaceful alley so I always got good sleep here. All this was for unbelievably cheap price 4$/night. Henry (Hieu) the manager, is a very warm and welcoming man. Always smiling. He is always keen to help with what to do around on the island, where to buy things, where to eat etc. He also organized the boat tour for me and my friend at a very cheap price. You could do all your tour and travel bookings at the hostel. Highly recommended."

We booked the Eco Boat tour around Ha Long Bay through the hostel. It was really cheap the the tour was great - Definite must do! Rooms are big and clean, shared bathroom facilities are clean as well. Breakfasts are in the in the hotel next door and it is a good buffet. Would stay here again and would recommend if you are staying a couple of days on Cat Ba island."

"We had a great time in Cat Ba despite our short stay. The hotel was great (simple rooms, clean), breakfast was yummy both mornings (omelet with bread, and a banana pancake) there is a club a few doors down with you could here from our room but the white noise from our fan was enough to cover it. The staff was excellent and extremely kind; they are an absolute reason to return. "
