Hostels & homestays
Every card says why to go, what to know before you do, and what catches people out.
Dalat Family Hostel
1.4 km from centre
130–260k₫
$5–10
dorm / private · checked
Family-run with a shared dinner most nights — the fastest way to meet other travellers in a city with no real backpacker street.
Mr Rot's Secret Stay hostel pick
0.8 km from centre
130–230k₫
$5–9
dorm / private · checked
Rated 9.8 and consistently the top-scoring hostel in Da Lat. Small, sociable, and the owner actually helps you plan.
Careful. Never book canyoning through a hostel desk, here or anywhere. See the Adventure section.
Mooka's Home hostel
1.4 km from centre
130–230k₫
$5–9
dorm / private · checked
9.7-rated homestay in a quiet residential pocket, with a garden and proper breakfast. Calmer than the party hostels.
Worth knowing. Advertised dorm rates below $3 anywhere in Da Lat are teaser pricing. Budget $5–9 for a dorm and $12–25 for a private room.
