The atmosphere in the hostel is really good, easy to meet people. Special thanks to our guide T in the day-trip by boat to the bay, he was really nice and the experience was quite fun and complete.

The receptionist Vu was absolutely amazing. He helped us organise a boat trip with kayaking and swimming, as well as recommending the nearby beach and a scenic route. We were only there for 2 days and 1 night and had to cut the second day short because of a storm warning. We would not have been able to maximise our time on Cat Ba without Vu! The hostel was also very comfortable, the loveliest staff at the downstairs restaurant, and would definitely recommend their mango smoothie, you will not regret it! There is also a rooftop bar with a great view of the harbour, where locals sometimes set off fireworks.

My stay at Woodstock Jungle Camp was excellent. From the first moment, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff, always attentive to my every need. The place exudes tranquility, surrounded by mountains, ideal for resting or reconnecting. Access is very easy, even by motorbike. The cabin I stayed in exceeded my expectations: comfortable, clean, and with impeccable facilities. The restaurant's food was also a huge plus: everything I tried was delicious. Without a doubt, this is a place I would choose again. Highly recommended if you're looking for an authentic and relaxing experience in Cat Ba.

    Best hostel I've stayed regarding the room. Big comfy bed in a private pod, lots of storage, private locker, power sockets, small light.. A/C and fan in the room. 1 bathroom for 6 beds in the female only dorm. Great location too, so don't forget to enjoy the rooftop. The staff at the bar is very attentive. The girl at the reception had a great level of English and was very helpful unlike some of her colleagues downstairs which could use some hospitality training..

    Great location, amazing breakfast and the staff went over and above to organise everything for us. They booked our boat tour of Ha Long Bay and organised bus to Ninh Binh. The food in the downstairs restaurant was great and reasonably priced and they had good music on every night. We had tried to book another well-known hostel in the area which was sold out, but I'm glad we ended up here as it had a much more traditional 'backpacker' type vibe than that place 😀

    The best hostel I have stayed in so far, the room and facilities were really good and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful, helped us in booking tours, transport and what to do while we were here. The dog is also very adorable as well, in a great location in the heart of Cat Ba, we added on a night because it was so nice
