Self Catering Accommodation in Con Dao

The place might be basic. But the one thing that stands out in this place is the willingness of the owner to help and make sure your stay is great. He does not speak English much, but it's Con Dao where English is almost non-existent. However, when you text him through WhatsApp he is actually very responsive and quite chatty in English. I am impressed with his assistance, he is someone who goes above and beyond, and more.... I had a very unfortunate issue when I was there and, beyond my expectation, he helped me resolve it. It's unfortunate that apparently when I was there I heard Con Dao received way less tourists and a lot of local businesses were struggling. I do hope for the best for him and this place. This place has a lot of potential despite its current state, it's still basic. But considering everything, the owner's hospitality, relatively clean place and comfortable bed, value for money, it's worth it.

Great place on the edge of town. Quiet, clean and peaceful. Plenty of hot water. There’s also a rooftop area with a lovely view of the surrounding hills. The people are generous with their time, very responsive to text messages and extremely lovely.

Great location close to the market. It is not a beach hotel, but the way to the beach is not too far. Very nice owner.

Our host was very welcoming and accommodating to all our needs. Despite the language barrier, she had no problems answering all my queries and requests very promptly. We communicated through Facebook messenger, as I didn't have a local sim card. She also provided us with scooter hire and booked our taxi. A very big thank you to you! The apartment had 2 double bedrooms each with en suite and fridge, one with a terrace, which was handy for drying laundry. I would say the property was more suited for 4 people rather than 6, as the 2 extra beds were placed on the landing which has no aircon. But very spacious, which is ideal if staying for more than a couple of days. We didn't use the kitchen for cooking but was useful for making cups of tea and instant noodles. Location was perfect, very central. Places to eat and local sights were within walking distance.

The landlady was super helpful and very friendly. She helped us get to the ferry afterwards and provided water and drinks on a trust basis (you take what you need and tell her at the end). There is a communal fridge and washing machine. The bed and towels smelt really clean!
