It’s right on the river out of town just enough for it to be quiet but a just few minutes walk into town. Food was excellent! Providing bicycles was great as well. Staff and service was impeccable. Booked the day tour to the botanical gardens, Dark and Paradise cave. I usually like to do things on my own but it was great value. I’ll be back to stay here again.

Helpful staff and great location
The staff were great. They spent time explaining things to us, had tea ready for us when we arrived and checked if we needed any help with tours or other information.
Breakfast was good. There is a restaurant overlooking the river so we ate dinner there both nights. Our room had a great view of the river.

Moon is very kind as is the entire staff. Do not do your laundry here as the clothes are not entirely cleaned and don't smell of detergent. There is also some blaring music in the morning and the evening due to the church next door and the hotel next door (not due to Funny Monkeys). They did not last too long so it was not really a problem.
The food is good, the staff is very friendly and the place is walk-able distance to Phong Nha cave admission and the bus stops.

Very lovely Homestay owners. Funny Monkey is in a great location in Phong Nha with a beautiful view of the river. The only slight downside is that a few times a week the church next door starts playing music at 4am, I would recommend earplugs.

Lovely accommodation right on the river. The girls make you feel so comfortable. The room was excellent, very private like you are in a hotel but yet at the same time like you are at home. Breakfast was great. Easy walking distance into town but far enough away to be away from any town noise.I would definitely stay here again.

The owners Moon and Lily were very friendly and accommodating with allowing us to check in early at 5am. They also prepared our meals taking our allergies into account and provided ginger tea for my boyfriend to help with his cold. The room was clean but didn’t have something to put our bags on so we had to grab chairs off the patio. The view from the patio is amazing, however the water level was high and we weren’t able to enjoy the beach.
