Chau Doc Homestay

Great sense of hospitality from the owner. You are staying in a semi-rural area, but all your needs are being taken caren off. I recommend doing the tour from the homestay, to see all the major sights. The dinners and cooking classes were amazing.The homestay is at a great location to discover the countryside (lots to see!), maybe less for the city center. A shower in the room is a big plus not all homestays automatically have!

The street and cockrells are noisy in the morning, but in return you get a bustling neighbourhood. Just make you sure adjust your sleeping pattern to that of the locals.

Absolutely everything was amazing! This family are so welcoming and kind and warm and created the most perfect local feeling for my stay in Chau Doc. I highly recommend cooking dinner with them each evening and asking for as many tips on what to do and see in the area as they are very helpful. They put me in touch with the nicest man named Thien who gave me a complete tour of the area including visiting floating fishing villages, rice paddies, the tra au forest, Sam mountain and its pagoda. There is no where else I would stay if I returned.

This was a unique experience, the host family is so lovely and emphatic. The communication before our arrival via WhatsApp was very smooth. As we could not get cash at the arrival day, our host even payed the taxi driver which is IMHO really outstanding. Points we really enjoyed: we easily got a motorbike to rent for a day for 150K Dong. The host organised a day trip for us on very short notice (10pm!). And the food! It was absolutely delicious, I strongly recommend to book breakfast and dinner. We helped a bit cooking but main work was done by the family, thanks again for the lovely stay and the warm hosting. Ah, one more thing as there were a few negative comments about English skills: IMHO this is nonsense, why booking a homestay and then expecting to easy go with English? Learn Vietnamese is also an appropriate option.

Nothing but just to mention that this is no hotel and normal life in the country, people get up early so you do too

I loved the wooden and bamboo room, with big comfortable beds, including mosquito nets. I really liked to cook with Diem, she taught us to prepare spring rolls and we fried them in a pan on a wood fire outside the house, everything typically Vietnamese! There is the possibility to have bicycles for free and ride around the village. Diem is very helpful and gave us a lot of advices, she also helped us with booking the bus tickets etc

Nothing!

The rooms are simple but very spacious and comfortable. The host is incredible, the food is amazing which the guests can help cook, bikes can be rented, and available tours of the surrounding area can be organised by the host. Exceptional customer service, best place we stayed on our holiday.

None.

If you want to experience real authentic Vietnamese life and stay with a lovely, kind, welcoming family, this is your place! We were warmly welcomed, could join in the cooking and dining, and we had a great tour around the main tourist attractions and the countryside. We loved every bit of it. Thank you!

The history of the main home. The people were friendly enough

Toilet was full of Toilet paper on arrival. Contacted property 3 times before stay and didn't receive a reply. No food close by to get a meal. Sheets were a shiny nylon, not ideal to sleep on with no air con Didn't get WiFi till the English speaking person came home early evening so couldn't order grab. Had brekky included, homestay knew we had to leave early at 6.30, nothing organised, would have been happy with a banana, instead was asked if we wanted to buy some sticky rice on a cart going by. 24 hours between meals, I don't like writing bad reviews normally, if there is 1 or 2 things wrong it wouldn't be a negative review. But too many things wrong

Everything was great, host is awesome, she took us for a great tour with local people, food was also delicious, we had the best time in those bamboo house, highly recommend! you can rent a motorbike, visit Tra Su forest which is really beautiful.

no warm/hot water in shower :(

The family is super kind and welcoming. We took the option at 150.000d/pax to have the dinner and the breakfast. The food was great. We had a little visit in the vegetables fields which was great.

We were expecting to be really in the nature but bungalows are right in front of a big road. If you want to relax and chill in the middle of nowhere, this is not the right place. Lots of noises both at night and day. We were very disappointed to see that this is not calm at all … We are far from the city but without the advantages to be in the nature. Wifi is very poor, take with you some data if you want to use internet. No hot water. This is not a good value for money since the price is higher than in the city.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for two nights. The owner is very kind and welcoming. We were lucky to arrive there on the weekend, the owner had the time to show us her farm, and after we were cooking and eating together. Luckily we took the tour next day with her. She organised an exceptionally good trip and she is a very good guide knows lots of things.
