The original page recommended two booking sites from 2008. They are not the point any more. What matters is choosing the right base, then arriving smoothly.
- Best places overall: best hotels in Vietnam.
- Choosing a base: the Vietnam destinations guide, then the pages for Saigon, Mui Ne, Da Lat, Nha Trang and Can Tho.
- Hotels with a transfer page: the hotel index lists them, and more hotels in Vietnam groups them by destination.
Many Vietnamese hotels cannot confirm instantly, so book with some time in hand and keep a second option. Arrivals at Tan Son Nhat can be arranged ahead through Saigon airport transfers.
