They hosts were very kind and helpful. The food was good and it was clean and friendly.

The bathroom door had a gap, that let out the AC, I used a towel to stuff in it to save the AC.

the best homestay we had in vietnam. lau thu and his family were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. we had breakfast and family dinner by the beach, they took us to a secluded beach to snorkel and also rented mopeds from them to explore the island. couldn’t recommend it more

getting there is a bit tricky as the collected us on mopeds which wasn’t ideal with our big bags but other than that the perfect stay

Cham Island Lau Thu homestay was honestly fantastic. Lau Thu and his family embraced mine wonderfully. Super attentive and patient with our small kids also. They were accomodating with excursions/transport and their breakfast and dinners, all very delicious. We loved our stay and would have stayed longer, if we could have. A superbly located homestay and the peacefulness of that part of the island was very relaxing and a great contrast to the chaos of the bigger cities. If given the opportunity again, we will be back to Lau Thu homestay. Absolutely loved our time there.

Motorcycle and water safety- better fitting helmets and life jackets for children was the only thing I could really fault.

Food was good, room was clean and rooftopterras was nice. The mom was nice and gave us a fair price.

We decided to switch accomodation for 2 reasons: 1. They were not transparant with their prices. They unexpectedly came to pick us up at the port, which we thought was a nice gesture. But when we arrived at the homestay, the first interaction with them was the owner asking 70k per person for the ride, which was not exactly a warm welcome. We understand that this costs money but they didn't ask if we wanted a ride and didn't tell us in advance what the price was. Coffee is also not free (only 10k per coffee which is of course also more than fair, but it felt like another nice gesture). This all would have been fine if they just stated their prices somewhere. 2. They were very pushy with asking if we wanted to do their activities. We rented their motorbike for the first day to explore the island and look at some restaurants, but they kept asking if we wanted to go snorkeling, eat there, etc. eventhough we already said no several times. We pretty much felt like we had to dodge them to have a relaxing time. In the end we did pay a fair price (the motorbike was only 150k per day incl. petrol instead of the 200k they initially communicated), but we didn't know that in advance. We just didn't feel comfortable during our stay. Maybe if you say yes to all their activities you have a great time, but if you want to be a bit more independent I would not recommend it. Of course, when you stay at a homestay you will have more interaction with the hosts, but we stayed in many homestays throughout Vietnam and never had this 'suffocating' experience.
