within the team, and candid travel advice is both warm and
refreshing. Special thanks to the security and cleaning teams for

Hey guys,
i'm missing being able to annoy you whenever i'm too lazy to do

be letting people know about you

Thanks hendo, may and the rest of the team for the best experience
of vietnam yet! 3 weeks and 2000km later and we still haven't found
a place as hospitable, comfortable or AWESOME as hanoi backpackers.
Keep up the good work guys!

Bloody best hostel ever. can't wait to get back there one day.
“My daughter and I arrived from Cambodia as the hostel was in
its first days of opening. We were both unwell, we were received in
such a caring and warm way it felt like coming home. Max, your
enthusiasum and flair is infectous. Yen, you are a beautiful,
generous soul. Micheal, you are a blank unreadable. I love
the way you have put so much attention to detail, style and thought
into setting the place up. You deserve great success! Good luck and
a most heartfelt thank you!!â€

“After almost five weeks in Hanoi (on and off but mostly on), it
is really hard to leave this amazing place, that made me feel like
it’s my home…..
But I guess this it the time to move on, because to stay here is
too comfortable.
Yen and Max,
Thanks for looking after me, checking if I’m ok, how I feel…… I
really need it when I felt so bad, and you both did your best to
help me get better.
I really hate goodbyes because it is always so sad…
So again: Thanks a lot for everything you did for me, I couldn’t
handle the situation with out. Come to visit Israel.â€

than all the hostels we stay in Oz – for a much better price! Love

place will definitely be recommended by us. Best of luck.â€

“We arrived in Hanoi on the 22nd of April. Here we are after a
month and we are finally leaving! Now we don’t mean that in a bad
way! In fact we are sad to leave the Hanoi Backpackers. Thank you
all for giving us a home from home. From day 1 we felt welcome. A
very special thanks to Yen, Michael, Max and his wife and everybody
that helped us during our stay. You all have a special part of our
hearts. We will definitely be back, and all the best for your
future plans. You all deserve the best of luck and health.
So we are off down the South on the “Irish†Minzk. Keep in
touch.â€
