    Ha Giang Loop with Bong was an unforgettable experience! We chose the trip with Easy Drivers to have an opportunity to make videos from the road and enjoy the views along the way. We loved it! Stunning landscapes, great company of our drivers who know all the best places on the loop, nice hostels and nights with karaoke and "happy water" added a lively and entertaining touch to our trip. Highly recommended with Bong! ❤️

    I originally booked the 3 day, 2 night tour with bong hostel but was enjoying it so much I extended an extra day. The easy riders were great and I felt very safe the whole time. The tours are small groups - we only had 6 people, so it allowed for a lot of flexibility compared to some other tours that had 20+ people in each group. Home stays and accommodation had great food and atmosphere, and the tour took us to really beautiful places. Ann was responsive and helpful with any booking questions, and Bong hostel is clean and welcoming. Had the best time!

    Make sure you stop at Bong Restaurant, best place in Ha Giang to eat! They cater for both vegetarians and meat lovers in Vietnamese and Western style food. The food is absolutely amazing, as well as the service! Highly recommended!

    Food was extremely disappointing considering the price. Ended up quite expensive for a horrible and plain salad sandwich and a terrible dry burger.

    Great hostel especially if you’re looking to do the Ha Giang loop, they provide guidance on what to do and what to see along with motorbike rental & protective gear. Couldn’t recommend enough if you’re looking to do the loop

    It's difficult to describe how spectacular the Hà Giang loop tour was, and a big part of that was because of the care and bond that I felt with my easy driver. Bong's tour is the best because they specialize in more intimate groups with guides that truly care about looking out for you. There was never any stress, only smiles and positivity from everyone and we could spend ample time at each viewpoint and rest stop without feeling like we were on a tight schedule. They also chose really great homestays for each of the nights and encourage a good mix of fun and also allowing us to get enough rest. The hostel itself is great with privacy curtains for each bed, charging sockets and a reading light. The lockers are large too and they have everything you need to be prepared for the loop (you can even rent a smaller bag from them if you only have one medium/large backpack). There are lockers to keep your stuff safe while you go on the tour too. Highly recommend!

    Bong hostel was the best choice. Our guide, drives and the whole crew was very helpful and kind to us, they really cared about everyone. Everything was well organised and we saw amazing views. Food was really good, nice hostels. Our motorbikes were quite new and working very well. The loop was the best experience of my Vietnam trip, surely bong team made it even better. Thanks guys

    Bong hostel provided such a beautiful experience that I’ll remember for the rest of my life! The Ha Giang loop itself is such a great wonder, but Bong hostel organized the experience seamlessly. The riders were skillful and extremely knowledgeable about the region and the culture inside it. They also were loads of fun which adds even more to the trip! They made a real effort to get to know all of us and ensure all of us were being taken care of and having a good time. I chose this hostel specifically because I heard a lot about how this company provides a more personalized experience as the groups are smaller. It promotes socialization and partying, but at the same time that wasn’t the main emphasis, which I really enjoyed that balance. Thank you to my driver/leader Kevin and the rest of the drivers for making this the highlight of my trip thus far!!!

    Best tour experience ever! Had the best time with the bong tour, the easy riders were amazing with the best personalities, it made the experience super enjoyable. The views were surreal and the nights at each hostel was the best way to top off the amazing days. The loop will be a everlasting memory and thanks Bong tours for making it perfect.

  • 5/5 Rufus C. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect place to go if you want to do the ha giang loop. They give you a full briefing of the loop and offer you motorbike lessons for the less confident. Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Katja E. 11 months ago on Google
    I really recommend staying here and doing the Ha Giang Loop with Bong Hostel. The stuff is so welcomed and helpful. They even picked us up where the bus from Hanoi dropped us off. The Loop is stunning. Recommend to do the 4 days because the 3rd day is mind blowing. Our guide and easy riders were so much fun and I always felt safe. There was always one in front of us who was looking for the police checkpoints. Thx guys. Loved it!!

  • 5/5 deemchop 10 months ago on Google
    I've been to 30+ countries, and i have to say, this was the most beautiful drive i have ever done in my life. Our guide Manh was incredible in getting us to viewpoints that were not crowded with other tour groups doing the loop, which felt like a huge added bonus. Would love to do a longer trip with them again. Most memorable experience in Vietnam thus far.

    I just came home from a 4-day motorbike trip with Bong Hostel and it was amazing. Professional drivers, beautiful scenic routes and great company are what you get with Bong. I can wholeheartedly recommend taking the trip with them. I was a little nervous before we left, but that quickly passed as the drivers are very skilled and care a lot about our safety. In general, they did everything they could for us to have the best trip. Some of the drivers are not quite so good at English yet, but they are happy to practice and have a fun chat on Google Translate while having a beer in the end of the day. Remember sunscreen and mosquito spray and off you go - you won't regret it.

    Just finished the 4 day 3 night loop tour with Bong hostel. Cannot recommend enough!! The guys we went with were great tour guides!!! Once in a life time experience, love the small group sizes and much more organized compared to other hostels. The hostel was so great for organizing everything for us, from our bus to the hostel to the bike tour to our bus leaving ha giang. Great communication 🤩🤩🤩🤩

  • 5/5 George A. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing 4 day/3 night Ha Giang loop tour with Bong Hostel! Mike our lead driver was excellent at keep everybody safe and at a good speed! My driver was ‘Ti’ absolutely fab! An absolute bucket list experience and a must do with Bong Hostel! Food, accommodation and experience was superb! Bong were extremely helpful with booking the tour! We booked on extremely late but they were still able to accommodate us and book us on with private rooms! They were so quick to reply and always a phone call away if we needed anything! I really recommend using Bong for your Ha Giang Loop tour, you will not regret it!

  • 5/5 Kate P. 10 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend the four day motorbike tour of Ha Giang Loop through Bong Hostel. Our drivers were amazing and ensured we were kept safe and had an amazing time. Everything was well organised and there were good vegetarian food options. The sites are incredible and are are must see if you are in Vietnam!!

  • 5/5 Abby R. 10 months ago on Google
    The motorbike tour is an amazing experience and was a highlight of our three month South East Asia trip. The scenery is incredible with some of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. Bong hostel is really clean and the staff are very friendly. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Laura W. 4 months ago on Google
    We had the most incredible experience with bong hostels! The views were insane, the easy drivers were super confident drivers who kept us safe. And we had so much fun every evening at the home stay drinking happy water and getting to know others on the trip. I’m so sad it’s over, I want to do it all over again!!!

  • 5/5 Bella E. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely had the most wonderful time doing the Ha Giang Loop tour with Bong Hostel. Everything was taken care of throughout our trip and staff were helpful and kind every step of the way. I felt safe and taken care of and the group size was perfect. Special thanks to Bao who was the best driver and made me laugh and smile the entire way and Kenny, our group leader, who went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Highly highly recommend! We did 3 days and while it was amazing, I wish we would had done four days for all the extra experiences (waterfall, bamboo boat, etc.)

  • 5/5 Esther S. 4 months ago on Google
    Did the Ha Giang Loop via Bong which was amazing, the highlight of my trip. My driver was very kind and responsible, so I felt very safe during the trip. Because the groups are not as big at Bong we all got to know eachother very well. Highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 Malin L. 8 months ago on Google
    I did the 3 day Ha Giang Loop Tour with Bong Hostel and it was really great! Everything was well organized by the hostel when we arrived and we had lots of fun doing the tour. I loved that we were such a small group (only 7 people). The Easy Drivers in our group were looking out for everyone and were driving safely. The landscape was amazing, especially on the second day. For me the 3 days on the road were enough. I'd definitely recommend going with easy riders if you are not an experienced driver because the roads are not for beginners.

  • 5/5 Ross W. 5 months ago on Google
    We did the easy-rider Ha Giang loop tour though the Bong Hostel and we highly recommend it! Great drivers and guides. Mike and Kevin did a fine job leading our group and getting the party started at the homestays! Special shout-out to my driver Nam. Great guy you took good care of me. Also the staff at the Hanoi hostel itself was also super friendly and helpful, letting us store our gear and crash in their lobby for hours at a time. ❤️

  • 5/5 Chris C. 6 months ago on Google
    This is the best Tour and Team for Ha Giang! We had incredible guides, the staff are great at the hostel, the beds are nice, meals are incredible, the list goes on! Bong is super nice and is there to to help you any time you need. I have zero regrets booking with these guys and it is way better than over priced and over booked massive tours. This is the one to do for Ha Giang Loop!

  • 5/5 Megan H. 4 months ago on Google
    Doing the Ha Giang Loop with Bong Hostel is a must! The easy drivers are friendly and fun and also make sure you’re safe on the roads. The home stays are comfy and the food is good! Couldn’t recommend it enough!

  • 5/5 Felix K. 6 months ago on Google
    The staff are very helpful and the showers are excellent. I arrived in the late evening and booked a Ha Giang loop 4 day tour for the next day at the reception. The tour was incredible, I had a very competent and friendly easy rider and the views were just amazing. Definitely recommend this option if you are not feeling confident on a motorbike, the roads can get a little rough. Our guide had some great ideas for less touristy routes and experiences. Definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Emily A. 10 months ago on Google
    What a beautiful journey! I did the 4 day self riding tour and it was EPIC. Small group which was awesome to connect on a deeper level! Grateful for all the guides and fun times. Felt safe and adventurous all in 1! Definitely recommend this hostel. You get free rice wine during dinner and all the guest houses were nice. Yew!

  • 5/5 Amon I. 1 year ago on Google
    The hostel itself is great. Clean beds, rooms, showers and the staff are kind and helpful. Especially when it came to doing the loop. The bikes we were given were clearly well maintained and ran perfectly throughout the trip; they even have lessons every morning if you are not as confident on a semi-auto. They also have briefings every evening to give advice on the loop and don’t particularly push you into taking a guide/driver if you are competent enough on a bike. I would definitely be recommending them to anyone planning on doing the loop.

  • 5/5 Olly H. 1 year ago on Google
    Couldn't recommend enough, especially if you're looking to do the loop! They will sort everything for you, Motorbikes, homestays and routes! If you plan on doing the loop, defintiley book your night with these guys and arrange the tour through them, they're extremely helpful at everything and anything

  • 5/5 Maxime L. 2 years ago on Google
    6 amazing days with Ann and Ké ! Very friendly, fun and they know the road perfectly !! They can help you if you have any problem and are always here to give you good advices. I recommend this place and will probably come again !! Thanks again. But be careful to your keys, Ann loves jokes 🥰🥰

  • 5/5 Joshua T. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly staff and genuinely nice people. Comfy bed and worth the price because breakfast is included and they have waffles😁 there 2 bars walking distance away too so good spot

  • 5/5 Jon Karl B. 2 years ago on Google
    Me and my friends got our dirtbikes here for the Ha Giang Loop. WOW! Great service! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Ms. An booked our homestay at "Lung Cu" in the middle of the night when we didn't have a place to stay. She even arranged our bus back to Hanoi when we asked in a last minute call. Mr. Anh went as far as the "Heaven's Gate" to replace one of the bikes which had a minor problem. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. I really hope to see you again. On behalf of Florence and Cris, much love. ❤ - JK

  • 5/5 Rick T. 2 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend this hostel if you’re planning to do the Ha Giang Loop. They give you so much information and they’re very professional. The staff is also really kind and they want to help you with everything.

  • 5/5 Tim G. 1 year ago on Google
    Mr Bong is insane! best hostel for renting a bike and doing the loop. free maps, free service with the whatsapp group. free breakfast with as much fruits as you want, they speak english very good! had a huge crash in the middle of nowhere and totalled the bike. had insurance and he covered everything. very recommendable...

  • 5/5 Jack H. 1 year ago on Google
    Bông has everything! Loved the loop with Kè, great pacing, knew the best lookouts, really fun and had a blast at the homestays too. hostel is comfy, hospitable atmosphere with air con and a pool table. plus the food is really delicious. thanks so much for the great time!!

  • 4/5 Liher 1 year ago on Google
    Confortable bunk beds and extremely clean restrooms. Good breakfast that it is included in the price. They give you a quick lesson of how to use a semi-automatic motorbike and they let you use for free the day before your departure, the same motorbike you will use the next days during the Ha Giang Loop. You can hire an insurance (only covers damages to the bike) for an extra VND 100k per day. Guards and helmet are also provided, both included in the price. I missed more alternatives for the 3D/2N loop proposal than what they show you in their brochure and more information about key spots to visit (apart from those you will find if you google a little). I would have proposed to overnight in Ma Lé (or on the way to Lung Cu Flag Tower) instead of in Dong Van, so you can make the most out of your second day to try to reach Du Gia. The on-the-day laundry (VND 45k/kg) is quite expensive and some of the t-shirts were discoloured when they gave them back to me.

  • 5/5 Manu K. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Hostel I stayed Here For Long Time. Rooms are Very Clean and Neat I Booked the Bike loop with Them, it was amazing. Best Hostel in Ha Giang City

  • 5/5 Charlotte C. 3 years ago on Google
    Descent Aussie burger with a little hard-crust fries. Pumpkin soup is not creamy but rich pumpkined. Juice is okay.

  • 5/5 Grant Anthony S. 5 years ago on Google
    Went here after reading the reviews. I asked for the vegetable noodle soup and requested that they make it a bit spicy. I have to say it was perfect. The best food I've had in Vietnam so far. Very delicious and very cheap too. Under $2. Can't go wrong with that:)

  • 3/5 Hervé MATYSIAK (. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant offer a large set of dish, from Asiatic to Western one, with a high price comparing to quality.. (vegetarian food too) Location is ok, menu full in English, no ac, have local wine and Đà Lạt one too.

  • 5/5 Emil '. 4 years ago on Google
    They have a new menu, price a little bit more. But they were friendly and food was good😊 not enough of fries but still happy

  • 5/5 Filip K. 5 years ago on Google
    Best hot plate in my life. In fact, one of the best restaurants in whole Vietnam. Go there, support them for great job!

  • 3/5 Nadja S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice staff, vibe and menu. Unfortunately, the fresh shrimp spring rolls I ordered tonight, were not really fresh... the vegetables in them had clearly been prepared a while in advance and put in fish sauce (to preserve maybe?). As a result, the spring rolls were dripping and limp when picking them up from the plate. Real shame considering staff is so nice and the place is lovely. Ha Giang Soup (chicken&ginger) was tasty. Fresh pineapple juice very very sweet for my taste.

  • 5/5 Simone R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Bong hostel is really cozy, clean and pretty central. You can have good food and the staff is simply amazing, super ready to help you out with anything you need. Great place where to organise and set off for the famous ha giang loop. Good rental deals with brand-new motorbikes. They also give lessons! Thanks guys!

  • 5/5 James M. 1 year ago on Google
    Mr Bong always delivers. We didn't stay at the hostel, but we organised our bikes, tour etc for the Ha Giang loop through him. I'm knackered so cba to go into to detail - but everything was great. Bike, route, accomodation - the full shabang. Am now laying on a great bus he organised from the hostel to Ha Long bay. Would thoroughly reccomend. Bong till I die

  • 5/5 Kelley K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really tasty food, good for vegetarian options which is difficult to find around here. The vegetable fried rice was top!

  • 5/5 Erik D. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved the Ha Giang Loop tour organized by Bong hostel. Our guides were great, fun people who were also helpful and effective. They consistently got our group of 12 (5 for the 3rd and 4th day since many only could do the 3-day tour) to various places at times where there were little to no huge groups crowding things. Highly recommend

    I did Ha Giang Loop with these guys, and it was one of the best trips I had! Great views with great people, motorbike drivers and fellow tourists as well! If you want to have a good time in a small, but very friendly group - this is your choice!
