- ABOUT VUNG TAU
Vung Tau itself is a hidden gem. It's not as touristy as other beach towns, but it has everything I need – beaches, markets, Grab and delicious local food. One of my favorite things was hiking up the nearby hill every day to catch the breathtaking views of the city and ocean from the top

- ABOUT HOTEL
I stayed at Surf Hostel, it's a new hostel, and I can tell they've put a lot of effort into making it special. Instead of cramming in as many rooms and beds as possible like other hostels, the owner, Constantine, prioritizes creating a relaxing and homely atmosphere over making a quick buck. With plenty of common areas and a well-equipped kitchen, the decor is beautiful at every corner, adorned with lush greenery. It’s always clean with a chill vibe, which all adds to the unique charm of this place. I originally booked for just two nights, but I ended up extending my stay to a week because it just felt like home.

- ABOUT SURFING
It’s the perfect place for people who like or want to learn surfing! There's a long coast with good waves, and Surf Hostel offers surf classes and board rentals that are very budget friendly. Compared to places I’ve been to like Mui Ne, Nha Trang, Da Nang, and Hoi An, the prices here are unbelievably less than half, because Constantine is passionate about sharing the joy of surfing and wants to make it accessible to more people. He has many years of surf coaching experience both locally and overseas. He always goes out early in the morning to check the waves, then takes people to the correct beach to catch better waves for the surfing class.

They take care of this hostel as if it were their own home, treating me like a friend or even family. We shared drinks and food with the staff and other tenants, hung out together, and laughed together. They never tried to sell me any tours or bus tickets, and they didn't even mention their surfing classes until I asked.

I know, they're not very good at running a surf hostel as a business lol. That’s why, as a former customer and now friend, I'd like to recommend this place here because I want to see a good place succeed. I’ll forever cherish my days at Surf Hostel, and I hope you’ll create special memories there, just as I did.
