Homestay

The Top Homestays in Hoi An

In a city with so much rich culture and history, Hoi An’s best explored by staying at a homestay “hotel.” A homestay is more formal than a hostel but less fancy than a chain hotel. Not only will you save a lot of money on your overall trip but also you’ll get to mingle with the locals and get a peek into their regular lives.

During the 15th-19th centuries, Hoi An was a thriving trading port located on the central coast of Vietnam. The city, a member of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999, is growing in popularity among tourists who enjoy time at the water’s edge. Known for its extensive history, at one time, part of Hoi An was a Japanese settlement, and remnants of those days can still be seen around town today.

We’ve put together a list of the best homestay options in Hoi An. Each property is highly rated, favored by travelers, and will undoubtedly meet your needs for comfort and convenience during your travels. You could also consider these hostels in Hoi An if you’re looking to meet a lot of fellow travelers.
