We arrived early and were asked to pay 150,000 VND for early check-in, which isn’t too surprising coming from the West. However, when a room is already available, it’s common for places to allow early check-in for free. Initially, we were placed in a family room due to the early check-in, but we ended up staying there, which was a nice bonus since the room was spacious and the bathroom was great. Because of the location, there are quite a few insects—we had a massive (and hairy) spider and a lizard in our room, but it wasn’t a big deal. The walk to the main areas can be a bit long, but it’s a straightforward route, which makes it easier. Breakfast was fantastic! The ladies serving it were incredibly kind, and I highly recommend the pancakes—I’m still craving them! I had read reviews mentioning that the host can be quite pushy about selling her tours, and this turned out to be true. Expect to be approached frequently—she’s very persistent in selling her “fish”. That said, you can find cheaper options elsewhere.

This is one of the best homestays we have stayed at in Vietnam. The host Moon is welcoming, kind, and helpful, all-around incredible. She will make your whole stay run smoothly and stress free. She helped us book our transport to and from the homestay, including the heritage train. She will book tours and cooking classes, and also gives excellent recommendations for restaurants, and will book you a table in advance. The location is excellent, close enough to walk to the old town, but far away enough to have peace and relaxation. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants on the small island so it is not necessary to always be in the busy tourist areas. You can also hire a bicycle to get around easier and also to visit the rice fields. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with lots of natural light. We liked all the corn details on the floor, bedsing and lamshades, it is very unique. Moon was also able to provide us with a kettle for the room when we asked. We enjoyed the view from the terrace balcony. The pool looks great, a good depth, we didn't get a chance to use it. Breakfast is simple. Yet very, very tasty, and consistently good. We enjoyed pairing it with avocados that we sourced from the local market. Moon is always on hand to answer any questions or solve any problems, and communicates really well. This is seriously a home from home, and I would love to stay longer and come back again in the future. Thank You Moon you are an incredible host ❤️ Please note that the homestay books up fast at weekends, so book in advance to avoid disappointment

Moon is the most amazing host. We had come in after being in a bus crash and she was so lovely, supportive, caring and accommodating. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were okay after such a traumatic experience. We stayed in two separate rooms. The bigger room for the four of us was huge and comfortable. Then we checked into a smaller room for 2 of us which was just as lovely. Breakfast included was a nice touch. A very peaceful location by the river and the pool was great too!

The beds are a little on the harder side but that's synonymous with most stays across south east asia!

Overall we had a nice stay, in a calm place and enjoyed the fact that there was a swimming pool, breakfast included and bikes for rent (which came in handy as the property is a bit further away from the old town). The pool was really refreshing as the temperatures rose quite high. We also booked a cooking class with Moon, the owner, which we could pay upon checkout, together with the bikes we rented and the laundry we did

The rooms are a bit older than the pictures suggest (eg limescale on the shower walls and a shower door that could not completely close anymore) Note that the pool will be in the shade during the day, which can be a blessing if you’re looking to escape the sun, but you won’t be able to sunbathe if that’s what you’re looking for It is possible to walk to the old town, but doing it multiple days in a row back and forth is a bit much - luckily you can rent bikes to make the journey faster

- Moon was amazing, always on hand for anything we needed or any questions we had (she even gave us her WhatsApp for if we needed anything) - Our room was huge! The shower was hot and there was a lovely view of the river - The pool was fantastic and had sun until around 2pm so we loved a morning swim and sun bathe - The location was so serene and ideal after often crazy Hoi An - The breakfast was delicious, we had either pancakes or omelette which were both 10/10 - The place has a really nice feel, we would have loved to stay longer if we could have!

- On arrival we didn’t have a kettle or robes in the room which was advised on booking, however this was quickly amended by Moon and her brother - We utilised the washing service however some of my items didn’t come back 100% clean, again Moon quickly fixed this and re washed this - The location can be tricky to find at first as maps makes it look as it’s on a different road where it’s actually down an ally before, but once found it’s easy to navigate, if using grab they may also struggle to find this but we just got picked up from the main road which was no problem.

Great stay at the Riverside Villa. Nice pool, great room, very comfortable bed and good location (20 minute walk to the town) with options of renting a scooter or bike for very reasonable prices. Moon the host was fantastic could not do enough to help us, booked our ring making and taxi back to Da Nang. Had many trips on offer however unfortunately didn’t have time to try them all. Thanks Moon

Had a great time in Hoi An, in part because this accommodation was so comfortable and helpful. Asked for a mattress topper on our bed and had many great nights sleep. Moon was so helpful in organising tours and activities for us and giving us advice on what we could do ourselves. 20min walk to the start of the old town area so bicycle hire (50k per day) is a great idea, and I personally liked that this cos it was nice and quiet to sleep. Complimentary breakfast was also quite nice. I would stay again.

Our stay at the Corn Riverside Villa was superb. The Host Moon was fantastic, she made us so welcome, she was always so happy and smiley. Moon was so good at giving good suggestions of excisions, places to eat, directions and even a fantastic tailor shop. Moon always went out of her way to help us out with any questions we had. The pool is lovely and not busy so it’s nice a peaceful after a busy day exploring or relaxing. The rooms are nice, clean and spacious. There’s options to rent bikes and motorbikes at good prices. The centre is about 15-20min walk with nice views along the river, it can get quiet hot walking so it’s good to rent the bikes and ride in sometimes. I would 100% recommend 😊 Thanks Moon Laura

The hotel is set in a lovely location, with an amazing view on the river. The pool was fantastic and it was possible to rent motorbikes, which was a great way to get to the centre in a few minutes, as well as explore the lovely area around Hoi An. The owner gave some great advice on what to do in the area and was willing to arrange things as well. The breakfast was tasty, and all staff were very friendly. For a low-budget stay, this place offered a lot.

We had to wait quite a bit after the mentioned check-in time, because they still had to clean the room. However this wasn't a big problem as we were offered a drink while waiting. The room could have been cleaned a bit better and the mattress was quite hard. But for the price we paid, really I can't complain.

moon is an incredible host and the team are all super friendly! they will help you with anything you need and make sure you enjoy all that Hoi An has to offer! pool was perfect to cool off in. breakfast was delish with lots of options. the location is lovely and peaceful and not far from the old town and also allows you to explore the island and it’s own cuisines. Our aircon wasn’t cooling properly but Moon moved us to a new room as soon as we let her know! we ended up extending our stay for 3 extra nights. Thanks!

shower drain and floor needed a bit of a clean.
