About Food & Accommodation On Tours
After a long riding day with a lot of activities. We know a comfortable place to rest overnight is a special concern. A relaxed and enjoyable accommodation is not only to state the quality of the tour but also to get the energy back for the possibly hard riding days after. At Vietnam Motorbike Tour Expert, we are offering 2 types of accommodation to meet your needs. Take a look to choose which kind of place will suit you.
2 Types of Accommodation that VMTE Provides
The Vietnam Motorbike Tour Expert offers only special tours to explore new things, so most of our tours are to remote mountainous areas where accommodations are not like in other big towns, although we will choose the best hotels in those areas most of them are just standard hotels or staying at a homestay. But don’t worry, they’re surely safe, and clean with free wifi and a hot shower and the equipment is comfortable enough for you.
Hotels
Most of the towns we stay in during the tour are pretty small where there may be only one or few little basic hotels; however, they will have most of the standard equipment for you to have a safe and comfortable stay such as soft mats, blankets, mosquito nets, Air-conditioning, clean toilets… and free wifi. We sometimes tour through some big cities/touristy areas and we can have better choices to stay in better 3 or 4-star hotels.

Why you should choose to stay in a hotel
Choosing a hotel for your trip is a good choice if you are seeking for these factors:
- Safety and convenience: When you stay at the hotel, you and your property will be protected by security staff, cameras, and secure door locks. You can also rest assured to leave your luggage and personal belongings in the room without worrying about it being stolen or damaged.
- Comfort and luxury: If you stay at a hotel, you can use the hotel’s facilities such as wifi, air conditioning, television, swimming pool, spa, and restaurant,…to relax and release tired after a long day of exploring on a motorbike. Moreover, when you stay at the hotel, you will enjoy a private, and quiet space. You can also choose the type of room that suits your needs and preferences.
- Saving time and money: Not only you don’t need to spend a lot of time searching and comparing different places to stay but also you can book online through their official website. You can also take advantage of promotions, and discounts and accumulate points to save money on your trip. But on our tour, we are taking responsibility for this part, so you don’t need to worry about this, just let us know what kind of accommodation you want to stay.
Home-stay
Staying with the local family, cooking and having meals with them, and sleeping in their houses is a special experience included in our motorcycle tours in North Vietnam. All the families we choose to stay with have special permits from the local government so they’re certificated and they all have nice houses on stilts. Below is the equipment you can expect to have at the homestay such as private mats, blankets, mosquito nets, fans, clean toilets…and a great view and peaceful atmosphere.

Why you should choose to stay in homestays
There are many reasons why you should choose this kind of accommodation to stay, here are some main factors that you should look at.
- Enrich your knowledge: When staying in a house with locals, you will have the chance to meet and interact with local people. This is one of the best ways for you to learn about Vietnamese culture, customs, history, and life of your destination. You will hear interesting stories, learn useful experiences, and receive useful advice from the host for the best safety and wonderful trip.
- The opportunity to meet the local people: In the homestay, you will have the opportunity to get close, cultural contact, and communicate with the local people. In addition, you will feel everything is friendly and close, and feel the sincerity of the people here that no other hotel can afford.
