Nam Binh Homestay

Thủy, the owner’s daughter was lovely and spoke excellent English. We booked a 4 hour river and cycling trip with her and it was very enjoyable. She also helped us with our travel to the homestay and our onward travel.

The rooms are pretty basic but that was reflected in the low price and the photos so we were expecting that.

Lovely, clean, simple room by the river. Delicious food freshly prepared. Bicycles and an excellent trip on the river are available. This helps understanding of how some local people earn their living

Nothing

Simple accommodation, but a great place to hang out a few days! The family works like … and are so friendly and easy going. They just make you feel cared for. We liked the food, Toi’s stories, the vibes, the views over the river. From HCMC we took the Futa bus. At Ben Tre you need a Grab (7km VND 100) to the ferry. Ferry is every 20-30 minutes. Return, ask Toi to help arrange a taxi or the Futa pickup service to bring you to the bus station. The island is beautiful, tropical and relaxed. Nice to bike or hike the only road. We enjoyed and recommend the Mekong Delta tour (VND 300, depends on the number of people on the tour: make friends). We took scooters (VND 180 autom. 150 manual) to the ‘coconut market’. We had a good time. In the end we were on busy roads to often. Note down the location of the ferry to return without driving all the way to Ben Tre. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing stay I had at Nam Binh Homestay. Rooms were very comfortable and it was located in a very beautiful and peaceful place on the island. Easy to explore around by bicycle. They provided good breakfast and also dinner if required, and the food was lovely. The owner, Thuy, was always too kind and helpful and gave me good advices about which places to explore. So I would strongly recommend to stay at her place if you want to spend some time in Meckong Delta, far from crowds and in the middle of the nature

Nothing was wrong. Everything just perfect

We had a wonderful stay at Nam Binh. The family were incredibly friendly - we were even invited to take part in the grandmother's birthday celebration with cake and plenty of bia hoi. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan food options available all cooked to order. The view over the mekong was fantastic and the tour on the family's boat was good value and really interesting. I would recommend anyone stay there in a heartbeat.

Nothing really. Some of the sun loungers could do with a cushion to make them more comfortable but that's really nitpicking!

This homestay in the middle of the forest was amazing! A small number of rooms, mainly on stilts, not fancy but with all the necessary things, private bathroom and mosquito net. The two large relax areas on the river are just awesome! The family who runs the homestay is very nice. The daughter speaks excellent English and is also a professional guide. The mother cooks breakfast and excellent meals. You can rent a bicycle and explore this beautiful and clean island and the one in front of it, from where the ferry departs. Be aware that you can go from Ben Tre to Can Tho by direct bus, I believe 8.30 and 13.30, but this information does not seem to be on the internet.

All was great at the homestay. I had some problems finding a grab taxi when I returned to Ben tree with the small ferry. I suggest you ask the daughter to help you in identifying your destination.
