Cottages in Ben Tre

The host is really great, felt the best there! The small apartment is extremely nice and clean , AC is working well. Complementary free bicycle tour is very interesting. Also the surrounding of the house (lots of fruits and coconut trees) is just beautiful! The food they provide is also delicious. You can ride on scooter / bicycle through villages nearby and it’s so interesting. The tour on Mekong delta the host offered is worth it. Best place to relax

You get to have a real local experience as not many tourists here The owner, Thai, was absolutely brilliant and helped make my stay extra special, as did his adorable children! I hired a moped which helped me explore that much further than the bikes but the bike rides were also good. I timed it perfectly for the flower markets. Stunning! All the locals were so friendly saying hello as I passed. Totally unexpected but I suppose a single red curly headed female stands out a little. From this experience I'd recommend a homestay.

The couple that runs this place is golden-- they are hardworking and sincerely nice. They do their best for you. Duc, the husband, and I talked about all of the havoc wreaked by the US on this land (I'm American), and consequently, his family, and despite it all he showed no ill will towards me or my country. He is interested in politics and can tell stories about the land, the history, etc. He also helped me organize my bus trip from Saigon. The bus station was small and easy to find. The bus had A/C and the driving was fine. There is a water filter system so no plastic bottles (AMAZING!). The bungalow is great-- the two beds were both perfectly supportive but not hard or soft. The sheets were excellent quality cotton (I'm a snob). There were creatures that you could hear at night on the roof, but not one tiny insect was inside my cabin. The bathroom smelled a little like mothballs, I assume to avert insects. Breakfast was varied-- eggs or soup on the two days I was there, plus fruit, coffee, tea, bread, or --for me-- something gluten free. The free bikes were great! Some were not in perfect condition, but there were so many, you could just take a different one. I took the 6 hour boat tour, which was interesting! We saw how rope was made from coconut and went to a coconut candy place, did some bike riding. In my opinion, there could have been more stops to break up the monotony of the boat ride, but what we saw was unique. Overall, excellent! I've stayed in many village type homestays, and there are always small issues. This one ranks high!

This farmstay is a hidden GEM, from the moment we arrived Thu and the team made us so welcome and so at ease. The food has to be some of the best we have had in Vietnam, Huy, the chef, is a genius with how he cooks produce from the garden, so fresh, organic and vegetarian. The coconut oil soap and body oil produced on-site is magic. Cycling through the coconut plantations was better than I could have imagined. Thu arranged a boat trip with a local boatman which was superb fun and very interesting. Enjoy the sunsets over the river, they will blow your mind. Do not miss the opportunity to stay here if you are looking for some peace and quiet in a natural environment, it's a must !!

Wonderful stay at the homestay I had a very pleasant stay at the homestay. The room was clean, fully equipped, and spacious. Especially, the host and staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment I booked until check-out. The location is convenient, close to attractions and local food spots. Reasonable price, good service — I would definitely come back and recommend it to my friends. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!
