Positief: Netheid, personeel en service
We had a wonderful stay with our family of four while we were in Phong Nha for some cave tours. The Restful River is rustic, but it suited our needs. There is air conditioning - crucial in July - and a beautiful view of the river and hills from our balcony. We felt the room provided great value compared to the hotels in bigger Vietnamese cities. The beds were old and broken mattress springs were noticeable, but we were tired enough from hiking that we slept soundly. We were only provided two small blankets, so I was cold sharing a bed with my blanket-stealing child! We also wished there had been a desk or some surface to organize our belongings; as it was, all our luggage was just on the ground. The pool was big and a perfect temperature. Like many pools in Vietnam, it should have a skimmer available, because in the evening the surface of the water is covered in dead bugs. The property owners were friendly and helpful, offering rides and prepping our breakfast in advance for early morning starts. Our major wish, apart from better beds, would be a shorter walk to town. There are some little restaurants and shops nearby, but the main town strip is about 30 minutes on foot. For the price, Restful River was a nice, comfortable place to rest after awe-inspiring days of hiking in Phong Nha.
