Green Hope Lodge

We spent three wonderful days in Green hope lodge. The room was large and nice. The family was very professional and helpful, for example to organise a tour or reservate a bus ticket. The food was delicious: try sweet potato french fries. And the location was perfect to explore the park.

We spent three nights at Green Hope Lodge and found it to be an exceptional stay from beginning to end. Prior to our arrival, the helpful staff answered all our questions and assisted with booking our tours in Cát Tiên National Park. The warm reception we received upon check-in immediately set a relaxing tone for our visit. Nestled beside the river and offering sweeping views of the lush national park across the water, the lodge has a rustic charm. The property is feels a secluded haven removed from the main road by a long driveway. One of our great moments was waking up early to the sounds of gibbons calling in the distance. The riverside pavilions also provide cozy spots to unwind in the shade. Our 4-person room featured a lovely river view and a large balcony that matched the photos on the website. We appreciated the comfortable beds and modern en-suite bathroom. Although we requested a follow-up cleaning of the bathroom, the staff quickly addressed it, and a simple checklist could help prevent future oversights. Throughout our stay, the staff went above and beyond—from arranging tours and transportation to delivering park breakfasts. When our next ride fell through unexpectedly, they quickly arranged a replacement driver. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner at the lodge, plus a packed lunch during our excursions. Breakfast choices included baguette and eggs or pancakes, which we paired with a fresh mango smoothie (at additional cost.) Dinner was delicious, with a variety of rice and noodle dishes; the stir-fry fish with steamed rice and green pepper was particularly flavorful. We took two tours—the Crocodile Lake hike and an early morning Gibbon Tour—both of which were unforgettable. We also visited the Ta Lai Cocoa Farm in the afternoon, a real treat for chocolate enthusiasts. In addition to comfort and convenience, we admired the lodge’s commitment to eco-friendly practices. They utilize solar power and solar-heated water, recycle plastic, and actively support responsible tourism by partnering with the national park and a nearby animal rescue center. Overall, the lodge maintains a welcoming, family-friendly vibe that’s perfect for recharging after a day of adventure. We highly recommend Green Hope Lodge to anyone seeking a peaceful, inviting base to discover Cát Tiên National Park.

My adult son and I stayed at Green Hope Lodge May 14th-17th. Booking with Mr. Luan was very easy via Whattsapp. He secured a driver to meet us at HCMC airport. We arrived around 10pm on a Tuesday, had a relaxed morning (Wednesday) in Cat Tien National Park, a bicycle ride that afternoon, the Green Hill jungle tour on Thursday, Primate Center on Friday morning and then private taxi to the sleeper bus stop for an easy ride back to HCMC. The accommodations were rustic, adequate, food was simple and freshly prepared and the rates were reasonable for all. Highly recommended staying here.

Amazing stay with the most friendly people. They can book any tour for you and accomodate you with any food requirement. Very good dinners and set menu. Really good and comfortable room with lots of space. We loved the boat tour and the local culture tour especially. Cacoa tour was great too. Amazing lady and lots of knowledge. All amazing experiences. The park is beautiful too. Not that many crocodiles in the like unfortunately.

The accommodation was fairly basic and comfortable. It's located next to the river and has some great locations to relax. The food was tasty and good value. There were local homemade drinks such as pineapple beer, which were also delicious. Luan and his family were very friendly and organised tours for us in the park and made recommendations for an itinerary and walks. He was also able to organise transport from Dalat and to HCMC which made our trip much more convenient. Luan's English was excellent and he had a good sense of humour. Overall I'd highly recommend if you're thinking of going to Cat Tien. It was much better value for money than an organised tour and is a great place to stay and enjoy the park.

Thank you Green Hope Lodge! I had such a brilliant time on the beautiful fringe of Cat Tien National Park. This was the perfect way to re-energise after the intensity of the city. Luan and the Green Hope Lodge family are wonderful, welcoming, helpful, hospitable hosts and go above and beyond to ensure your stay is everything you would like it to be. The facilities and surrounds are both incredible and Luan and the team have endless, in-depth knowledge of activity recommendations to suit your interests during your stay in Cat Tien. Cannot recommend enough! Do yourself a favour an book Green Hope Lodge for your stay in Cat Tien (:
