Pomelo Garden Boutique Villa

Stay here! If you are wanting to get away from the market feel of Hoi An, this is the perfect spot. You are immersed amidst lush greenery, rice fields and farms in the everyday life of Vietnam. You are offered free bikes to roam safely to the local restaurants. Basket boats, cooking classes and kayaking are nearby. The property has a somewhat bohemian and VERY peaceful eco feel with thoughtfulness put into every detail. The rooms are clean, cool, spacious and tastefully designed. The pool is perfectly situated for lounging the day away with no plans. The owners are warm, hospitable and sweet humans who want you to have a good experience. I came here solo but imagine that it’s also a perfect place for couples. This was the cherry on top of my trip to Vietnam. You deserve absolute tranquility surrounded by nature and the local life in good hands, just do it!

Pomelo is a diamond in the rough. I never expected this little piece of paradise. The owners/operators are so willing to help. They helped us book our tours, brought us via motorbikes to some of our destinations. They do offer bicycles for free to their guests but since I don’t know how to ride one, they offered to bring us via motorcycle. I also loved how they prepare breakfast when you come down so everything is hot and fresh. Have Vy get the coconuts right off the tree as well! That was such a treat! I will come back to stay and relax some more next time!

There are some places so perfect you can't believe your luck in finding them. That was out experience at Pomelo Garden. The hotel we originally booked was very disappointing so we moved after one night. That disappointment brought us the great fortune of finding this little gem, tucked away in the rice fields between the town and coast. Part of me hesitates to write this review in case this place becomes to busy and popular, but the couple who run it (and live here with their extended family) deserve every possible success. Hoi and Vee (sorry about the spelling!) are the friendliest, happiest and most helpful hosts you could wish for. Nothing is too much trouble. You'd like a vegetarian version of something in the breakfast menu? Just ask! Some yoghurt to go with your morning fruit platter? No problem! Breakfasts are fresh, delicious and substantial. The juice is freshly pressed, often from fruit grown on their trees. In fact, you might have problems getting a coconut juice at night because it is too dark for Vee to climb a tree to get one! Food is available at lunch and in the evening; drinks are available all day. The minibar is priced the same as most local shops. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds and pillows and efficient air conditioning. Outside the room was a small terrace with seating area overlooking the stunning gardens, pool and family fish farm. We saw butterflies, dragonflies and even a kingfisher. We borrowed the free bicycles and cycled into town with no problems. It's about fifteen minutes by bicycle, twenty if you take the longer but quieter and more beautiful route through the paddy fields. You can reach the edge of town within ten minutes. You are also well placed to cycle to the coconut village, coast and vegetable village. Taxis are easily available if you prefer. This was far and away my favourite place we stayed in Vietnam. In fact, the next time we see a good flight offer and have annual leave available we plan to come back for a two week stay. Don't hesitate, just book. You won't have any regrets. Just, please, don't come when I want to book!

A hidden oasis, 10 minutes from Hoi An old town. The pool area was amazing, it felt like our own private villa. The rooms were spacious, bright and clean. Breakfast was very tasty, especially the homemade jam!

Very nice hotel with a beautiful garden and charming scenery. It also has a beautiful pool. The family staff are very attentive, nice and super friendly. When we arrived to our lovely room we immediately got a refreshing smoothie, which was much appreciated after a lot of travelling. Our room had a nice garden view and was clean. The room was big and had a lovely balcony. In the morning we got a really tasty and fresh breakfast. The hotel lent us (for free) bicycles. We really enjoyed the bike ride in to old town and to the villages. Riding through rice fields and narrow small streets is a must. We appreciated to stay outside the busy centre of old town in Hoi An. There was no problem to stay in old town until after dark, and then bike home afterwards. The hotel booked transfer to/from Da Nang airport. This went very smoothly. We absolutely recommend to stay at this place. Much better and more professional service here than what we got at a 5 star hotel in Pui Quoc. Greetings from Norway

Absolutely brilliant place to stay. The keepers are so friendly and are willing to help you any way possible. We stayed in a beautiful room and the swimming pool and the garden is lovely. The breakfast was tasty and they offered to make pancakes outside from the list. They even make a cake as a surprise from my daughters birthday. Location is about 10 minutes by taxi from centre of Hoi An, in nice, peaceful area. Really hope to come back there.
