I hope you had a great time back home. vs I hope you had a great time.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. The first phrase specifically mentions being back home, while the second one is more general and does not specify a location. The choice between them depends on whether you want to emphasize the fact that the person had a great time at home or just in general.
