I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at River Life. The family was always available and eager to make my stay enjoyable. Upon my arrival, I was given a huge plate of exotic fruit, most of which I couldnt identify, but it was really, really good. The location was quiet, yet within easy walking distance of everything you would want to see or do. There were plenty of good restaurants nearby, as well as good street food. There was a bus to take me to Da Nang Airport for 110000 dong(<$5) that picked me up right at the door. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved this small family business. Chi and her family live on premises and front desk is always staffed. Arrived just 4 days after a cyclone that flooded the lobby to 3’ Yet everything was sparkling clean and ready for me. I was sick for part of my visit and can’t say enough good about Chi’s care and concern for me. She made me soup, arranged for meds from pharmacy. I felt so ill n vulnerable but I was safe in her hands. No elevator but stairs were easy. I was two floors above lobby with a wonderful river view from my bed n a small balcony. Roomy and clean. Very comfortable. Easy walk to old town. Endless choices nearby for food n shopping n photos. You could not make a better choice.

We cannot say enough good things. My wife & I arrived in Hoi An at 6am from Mûi Né. Being used to strict check-in times, we taxi’d to the hotel to get an idea of location & would walk around ‘til 2pm. As we were walking away, the doors opened & without hesitation, Thi checked us in 8 hours early!! No questions, no extra charges. It’s located on a quiet road away from the hustle of old town but only a quick 5-10 minute walk to get to town. There are a few shops & restaurants just down the street. Thi helped to arrange transportation to wherever we needed. They have onsite bicycles to rent for <$2/day, which we took around old town & the beach. When we got sand & dirt all over our Teva sandals, Thi not only washed them for us, but she also took a toothbrush to them & got all the sand out. She rewashed them for us at checkout so they’d be fresh for our continued journey. Very sweet & unexpected. The rooms are of typical size & very clean. The beds have been the most comfortable beds we’ve slept on. My wife loved two small ‘Asian’ blankets that was provided. Breakfast was an additional cost. We found having breakfast there was cheaper or comparable to eating out. The hospitality is nothing but amazing. It was apparent to us that they take pride in their business. And making their guests feel welcomed & taken care of is 100% genuine.

Stayed 1 night in the standard double room with river view. Room was clean with a small balcony and a nice view of the river, the room itself is massive for 2 people (Note - This homestay does not have a lift). The hotel is a short 5-10 minute walk to the Ancient Town, with awesome eateries on the other end of the island. The family that run this place are what make this place stand out. I have stayed at many budget and high end hotels around the world and have not found any service more friendly and hospitable than here. In particularly, Thi, the owner, is lovely. On arrival we were greeted by Thi and she gave us a rundown of the surrounding area, shops, restaurants and organised cheap transport for us to Da Nang airport for the following day. She walked us up to our room at which point she realized the light in the bathroom was flickering, she had the light bulb changed immediately for us. Throughout our short stay here she was nothing but friendly and warm every time we saw her. We only stayed here for 1 night but it has left a lasting impression on us. There was nothing i could fault about the room or the service. If you are looking for a place to stay near the Ancient Town, i would recommend skipping the more expensive hotels and staying here. The next time i am in Hoi An i will definitely be staying here again!

Gorgeous family run place, cheap, clean, great WiFi and only a short walk to the old town. This place is great if you want somewhere quiet and away from the really busy old town, access to local eateries - much cheaper and more authentic. Close to the river and a short cycle to Cam Kim Island. The owners couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating

Kind host in a great location.

A lovely hotel just tucked away from the main attractions but within easy walking distance. Very friendly and helpful.

This was one of my favourite stays in a very long time. Great service with things such as travel assistance to and from Da Nang, assistance with tour to My Son, tips for restaurants and sightseeing. They even gave me a ride to meet my tour after I slept in. Riverview room was great, quiet with a little balcony. A welcome oasis just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of Hoi An. Highly recommended.

You pay $4 extra each for a simple breakfast with a few options like yogurt, fruit, musli, vietnamese pancakes, or vietnamese lunch dishes like soup. We had tiny little ants in the room after the second night, in the bathroom they liked my shampoo, and I woke to them under my pillow, may have liked my cookie crumbs. We were on 2nd floor, no elevator, not a big deal though. Hot in the house, but cool in airconditioned bright room. Near karaoke bar, could hear them for an hour each night around 8-9pm. Cleaning service available daily, Alocate a good 20 min walk into town.

Well appointed room w/ ensuite modern bath and small balcony. Hosts/staff were two very nice women. Good wifi. Booked 1 night; wish I could have stayed longer. The homestay is located about 3 minutes walk from Hoi An old quarter, very near a taxi stand and along a street with one resort spa looking place for bus tourists, but mostly local homes & cafes.

Riverlife was more than I could have hoped. The family living on the residence is very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to spend some time with them. The room was very clean. The AC and wifi worked great and the bed was huge. They have on site motorbike and bike rental for fair prices. The location is a little bit out of the main walking town of Hoi An, but my wife and I enjoyed the short 5-10 minute walk to the center of town. Since it is on a small island in the middle of the river, there is very little traffic compared to the North side of town. Would stay again without hesitation.

I didn't stay long but the rooms were very clean and comfortable. And staff was very friendly. Also great location
