The one long-stay listing we have with a price straight from the owner: a room in a new building with a balcony, 10M ₫ a month.
Worth knowing. Monthly rate, booked by phone — the booking sites sell it by the night and dearer. Fifteen minutes to the centre by motorbike, GO! hypermarket is nearby.

Da Lat needs no air conditioning, so bills are far below Da Nang or Saigon. Fibre internet at 300 Mbps is 190–195k a month.
Careful. The state electricity tariff is 1,984–3,460₫/kWh, but landlords commonly charge a flat 3,500–4,000₫. Agree the rate in writing before you move in.
