Chày Lập Farmstay

Chay Lap Farmstay is a charming cottage-style stay set in the stunning Phong Nha valley, with absolutely breathtaking views. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. While the on-site food wasn’t the strongest part of the experience, the nearby town made it easy to find great local meals. This is a wonderful place to stay if you’re planning adventure activities in Phong Nha and want to be surrounded by nature. Just be aware that it’s a tropical area, so bugs are very much part of the experience.

Stayed here after our Son Doong Adventure and it is a welcome site. Very comfortable. Pool is nice and they have bikes you can use to look around the area. Breakfast was good too.

Amazing place, amazing man, he was so helpful with everything- picked us up from the bus station, dropped us off at the next place, made us a lovely breakfast even though we slapped in late. Simply incredible!

We had 2 nights here before heading off in our cave expedition. It was a lovely couple of days. The welcome was warm, our bungalow was huge with a nice shower room. We enjoyed the free kayak the first day and explored on the bicycles next morning. The swimming pool is really lovely. The restaurant serves a great variety of food. I especially recommend the signature pork with lemongrass and chilli dish. Shout out to staff member Hung who was very friendly indeed.

We stayed here one night after our cave tour and everything was really great! We were exhausted from our trek and the warm welcome and lovely staff was just what we needed. The bungalow rooms are beautiful and spacious, the showers are clean and I never ran out of hot water. Lots to do including bicycles, kayaks and a beautiful pool. We wished we could have stayed longer!

was a fantastic stay and one of the best options in the area. From the moment you arrive, the entrance sets the tone — lush greenery, friendly staff, and a calm, inviting atmosphere. The property is made up of beautifully designed huts and buildings spread out across a well-kept landscape. Each structure has its own charm, blending traditional touches with comfort. It really feels like a peaceful retreat in nature. The pool is a highlight — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. They also offer massage services on-site, which is a nice bonus if you’re looking to unwind. Bikes are available for rent, making it super easy to get to nearby attractions like the Dark Cave and other cave experiences just minutes away. Yes, you’ll probably spot a few bugs — it’s a farmstay in rural Vietnam after all — but nothing unexpected for the setting, and definitely not enough to take away from the overall experience. If you want something a bit more high-end while staying close to Phong Nha’s adventures, this place delivers. Peaceful, scenic, and full of character.

Great hotel, with separate chalets which are very nice and roomy inside. Food at the restaurant was also good

The farmstay is awsome. The air itself is incredibly crisp and pure, and a delightful coolness that invigorates the soul. Majestic mountains rise all around, their ancient, craggy faces softened by lush greenery, creating a breathtaking panorama that shifts with the light. Beyond the stunning scenery, the culinary experience is a true highlight. Each dish served is a delightful journey into the heart of local flavors, prepared with fresh, regional ingredients that sing on the palate. What truly elevates the experience, however, are the wonderfully charming staff. Their warm smiles and genuine hospitality make every interaction a pleasure, ensuring you feel right at home in here.
