On February 20, the online booking platform Booking.com announced the ranking of the 10 most friendly destinations in Vietnam in 2024. This is a category within the framework of the Traveller Review Awards 2024 of this application.

The list also includes places like Cao Bang, Phu Quoc (Kien Giang), Ha Giang, Ha Long (Quang Ninh), Da Lat (Lam Dong), Tuy Hoa (Phu Yen), and Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa). In 2023, Phong Nha was in the top position.
According to Booking, whether you’re a food enthusiast, a beach lover, or simply want to immerse yourself in nature, these destinations all offer travelers the opportunity to explore and experience.

In addition to destinations, Booking also announced hotels as the leading type of accommodation in terms of friendliness in Vietnam.
In recent times, travelers are increasingly seeking more unique lodging experiences rather than just sticking to the traditional hotel model. Vietnam is no exception to this trend.
Despite the development of many unique types of accommodations, hotels still lead with the title of “most friendly,” followed by rental apartments, homestays, luxury resort apartments, and finally guesthouses.
The diversity and popularity of these types of accommodations in Vietnam show that travelers highly appreciate not only the variety of choices but also the unique hospitality that providers offer.
Booking also noted that Hanoi is the most friendly destination in terms of accommodations in Vietnam, followed by Ho Chi Minh City and Da Lat.
