Understanding your homestay rental needs
Are you looking for a tropical homestay or any type of accommodation to start a new life or prepare for a short trip? Before rushing to book, clearly define whether you need a long-term stay or just a few nights. Long-term rentals require attention to daily living amenities like kitchenware and laundry facilities, while for short-term guests, the ease of check-in/check-out and a quiet space are the top priorities.
Don't let beautiful decor photos distract you from utility. A nice room is not enough; you need to check the actual furnishings carefully. If you prioritize sustainable convenience, look for places that focus on technical quality rather than just external appearances.
Costs to prepare beyond the room rate
When asking for the rental price, do not just look at the monthly or nightly rate. There are always additional costs that might surprise you if you do not ask in advance. For example, with apartments, you often have to pay extra for:
Electricity (usually calculated per kWh, e.g., 3,800 VND/kWh).
Water (may follow the landlord's rate, e.g., 30,000 VND/cubic meter).
Common service fees (cleaning, trash, security) usually ranging from 100,000 VND to 130,000 VND/person.
Additional utility fees such as electric scooter charging (approx. 100,000 VND/vehicle) or laundry/drying machines.
For short-term guests, deposit and cancellation policies are crucial. At AOM Home, bookings are only confirmed once payment is made in full. If you cancel 12 hours before check-in, you get a 100% refund; however, if later, the refund will be 0%. Stay updated on your schedule to avoid unnecessary fees.
Rental procedures you need to know
Whether you rent a cute tropical homestay or a standard room, temporary residence registration is a mandatory obligation under the Residence Law in Vietnam. You need to prepare your Citizen ID or valid identification documents upon check-in. The landlord is responsible for registering for you, so do not hesitate to provide accurate information. This not only gives you peace of mind legally but also ensures a quick and uninterrupted check-in process. If you are staying for a short time, the landlord will notify the authorities, so please cooperate by providing information promptly.
Notes on security and house rules
Living in a shared space requires everyone's consideration. Ensure quiet, especially between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM the following day. Do not play loud music or sing in a way that disturbs the neighbors.
Regarding electricity and fire safety, these are vital principles: do not alter the electrical system, do not use high-power appliances without the landlord's consent, and absolutely do not charge electric vehicles overnight unattended or in a closed room. Adhering to these rules is part of the contract to protect your own safety and property.
