Our Story
Meet the Family Behind Green Riverside
Nestled between rice fields, limestone mountains, and the peaceful Son River, Green Riverside Cosy Home is more than just a place to stay. It's a place where travelers can experience the beauty of Phong Nha through the eyes of a local family.
Meet Linh & Family
Meet Linh
My name is Linh, founder and host of Green Riverside. I was born and raised in the countryside of Phong Nha and always dreamed of building something meaningful for my family, my community, and the place I call home. Before opening Green Riverside, I worked as an English teacher, tour guide, travel consultant, and receptionist. These experiences taught me the value of hospitality and inspired me to create a place where travellers could feel genuinely welcomed.

Became a favourite meeting point — where guests arrive as strangers and leave as family.
More Than a Hostel
Today, Green Riverside is more than a hostel. It is a place to stay, eat, explore, and connect. Whether you're joining a family dinner, watching the sunset from our rooftop cafe, exploring the caves of Phong Nha, or simply relaxing by the river, we hope you'll feel at home here.
Our Philosophy
Come as our guest, leave as our family.
"Come as our guest, leave as our family." This simple idea guides everything we do. We believe travel is about more than sightseeing. It's about sharing stories, learning from different cultures, building friendships, and creating meaningful connections.
