Cuc Phuong Guest House

Into the heart of Vietnam’s oldest national park, harmony and hospitality await

Nestled in the deep embrace of Cúc Phương National Park - Vietnam’s first and largest nature reserve - Cúc Phương Guest House offers a rare opportunity to sleep beneath the jungle canopy while retaining creature comforts. Located in the Bong sub‑station area, this simple, fan‑cooled refuge puts guests within walking distance of ancient karst trails, endangered primate conservation centers, and limestone caves that echo with millennia of history.

The accommodation comprises rustic bungalows and stilt houses, each built from local timber and raised just off the forest floor. Electricity runs only during evening hours, emphasizing an authentic, unplugged experience . Inside, mosquito nets, modest furnishings, and separate bathrooms speak to a back‑to‑nature spirit, while the gentle hum of wildlife is your nightly lullaby.

Rooms include single, twin, and deluxe bungalows - some enclosed, others open‑air - with en‑suite bathrooms and basic comforts like fans, toilets, and running water (no hot), though select units offer on‑demand hot showers. A small communal restaurant serves homestyle Vietnamese dishes - think pho, stir‑fries, fresh spring rolls - alongside soft drinks, beer, and rice‑wine, all prepared with local ingredients .

Though not a spa retreat, wellness here comes through slow living: early‑morning hikes through misty jungle trails, visits to the Endangered Primate Rescue Center, nighttime forest sounds, and unhurried meals around a shared table evoke a sense of rootedness rarely found in city life.

Perfect for: Nature lovers and eco‑curious guests seeking an immersive park experience without sacrificing dignity.

Spend your nights among cicadas and gibbons, your days discovering hidden caves - this experience is wilderness with a heart.
