One of the worst beds I have ever slept on, basically just a giant sponge meaning me and my partner would end up sunk into the middle after about 5 minutes. Add to that the fact that the pillows are seemingly made from concrete, it was an absolute pleasure to finally check out after 3 nights. I am going to need a chiropractor. 

Other things to note:

- Unhelpful staff
- Cold shower
- Noisy

After 3 nights I'm now crippled

My one night stay at Hung Minh guest house was by far the worst experience I've had in many years of traveling and staying at a wide range of hostels, guest houses and hotels. Out of every place that I've stayed in Vietnam or elsewhere, I've never been so disgusted.

First, the information they post online is misleading. This is a sister guest house of another, beach-side hotel 5 minutes walk away: that's where you'll find the private beach area, the restaurant and the bar, not at this guesthouse. The guesthouse itself is actually located further inland, beside a chicken farm with an overpowering smell of bird droppings.

When we arrived, we were "greeted" incredibly rudely by the guesthouse manager - first, he ignored us for several minutes while he and a cleaning lady shouted at each other. Then he shouted at us to come over to him, and immediately said "we're full, no rooms" - not the most professional way to treat two guests who had already booked.

After he looked, confused, at our online booking for a few moments he finally led us to our room - and that's when things got really bad. I have never in my life seen such a disgracefully filthy room in paid accommodation. I have no idea where the pictures that this guesthouse has online came from; they certainly have no resemblance to our room. The tile floor was cracked and dirty. The walls were peeling and covered in splashes and stains. The front window had a curtain which was absolutely filthy, with dead flies hanging off of it. The tiny, metal, hospital-style bedside table had not been cleaned in a very long time. 

The bed was by far the worst - it had clearly not been changed since the last guest stayed there. The sheets were full of hairs, there were mystery white splashes on the headboard and there was a bloodstain on the pillow. That's right - we were expected to sleep in somebody else's hair and BLOOD.

The bathroom was in a sickening state, with clumps of other people's toothpaste, shower gel, hair, etc, all over the mirror, walls and floor. A hole in the wall beside the bathroom let in whatever wildlife got bored of the neighbouring chicken farm and fancied paying us a visit instead - and believe me, there was a lot of it. 

We summoned all our bravery to look under the bed - where we found months worth of dust, an endless sea of rat droppings, and a huge cockroach who had been dead for god knows how long.

When we got here, it was so late in the evening that there was no possibility for us to find an alternative hotel - so we sucked it up and stayed the night in this disgusting environment. And what an incredibly long night it was, as we lay on the bed fully clothed, trying not to touch anything, and trying to ignore the countless cockroaches that skittered across the floor, the lizards that hurried in and out of the cracks in the walls, and the intermittent shrieks of various animals and birds that passed via the chicken farm a few meters from our beds. Getting up to go to the bathroom during the night gave me the unforgettable experience of disturbing about a dozen cockroaches who quickly disappeared down the open shower drain when I entered.

In the morning, we confronted the guesthouse manager with our concerns and he simply did not care - in fact, he laughed at us. His excuse for the state of his rooms was that "this is very cheap in Vietnam" - at 24USD a night this room is absolutely NOT cheap, not for Mui Ne, and not for Vietnam as a whole. After arguing with him for quite some time - difficult given his extremely poor English and his refusal to come with us to the room so that we could point out the issues - we ended up paying half price and leaving. We absolutely could not get out of there fast enough.

To sum up - there is no way I would stay here again even if they paid me to. If we had slept in a blanket on the side of the road in Mui Ne, we would have experienced the same level of comfort and cleanliness. There is NO EXCUSE for a guesthouse, no matter what level of budget they cater for, to simple not bother changing the bedsheets in a room. This disgusting place would be more useful as a kennel for dogs, and the manager would be better suited in a profession where he didn't have to talk to customers.
