Travel Guide: Bi’s Home Homestay, Hoi An

Introduction

Nestled in the quiet, leafy residential neighborhood of Cam Chau, just a 10-minute bicycle ride from Hoi An’s iconic UNESCO-listed Ancient Town, Bi’s Home Homestay (碧之家民宿) captures the laid-back, intimate charm that makes central Vietnam such a beloved destination. Far from the crowds of the Old Town’s busy waterfront, but close enough to reach Hoi An’s top sights on two wheels, this family-run homestay balances local hospitality with modern comfort, making it ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers alike.

Hotel Overview

Bi’s Home Homestay is located at 18 Ly Thai To, Cam Chau, Hoi An, Vietnam, and delivers thoughtful amenities tailored to traveler needs. All rooms are soundproofed, non-smoking, and fitted with air conditioning, private en-suite bathrooms stocked with free toiletries, a hairdryer, and a bidet, plus flat-screen TVs with satellite channels and free Wi-Fi across the entire property. Most rooms open out onto views of the property’s lush tropical garden, and the homestay features a sprawling sun terrace with outdoor seating perfect for morning coffee or evening sundowners.

On-site facilities include a 24-hour front desk with English- and Vietnamese-speaking staff, private check-in/check-out, concierge services, luggage storage, and tour bookings. The property offers free on-site street parking, paid airport shuttle service, bicycle rental (the best way to explore Hoi An), paid laundry and ironing service, and a daily complimentary breakfast served in the on-site restaurant, which also serves local Vietnamese dishes throughout the day. Family rooms are available for groups traveling together, and every room includes an electric kettle for making tea or coffee.

Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions are all easily accessible from Bi’s Home Homestay:

• Hoi An Ancient Town: Just 2 kilometers away, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its colorful lantern-lit waterfront, well-preserved 16th-century merchant houses, Japanese Covered Bridge, and bustling night market. Don’t miss the chance to get a custom-tailored outfit or sample iconic Cao lầu noodles here.
• An Bang Beach: A 15-minute bicycle ride from the homestay, this golden-sand beach is lined with casual seafood shacks and palm trees, perfect for a day of swimming or sunset walks. It’s far less developed than more popular tourist beaches further along the coast.
• Cam Nam Island: A short boat ride from the Ancient Town, this rural island is home to traditional weaving villages, organic vegetable farms, and quiet coconut trails, offering a glimpse into rural Vietnamese life away from the tourist trail.

Travel Tips

Book the homestay’s airport shuttle in advance to avoid being overcharged for taxis on arrival. Rent a bicycle directly from the property—it’s cheap, and cycling is the easiest way to navigate Hoi An’s flat, car-lite streets. If you’re visiting during Hoi An’s rainy season (October to December), pack waterproof shoes and ask the front desk to help you book day trips to avoid flooded routes. Finally, don’t skip the homemade breakfast—many past guests rave about the fresh Vietnamese coffee and local banh mi served each morning.
