Happy Homestay

You’re staying with a family who graciously welcome you into their humble home. Fans and mosquito nets in each room. Bathrooms upstairs and downstairs. About the friendliest and helpful people you’ll ever meet. They’ll help with getting you scooters, or a bus trip to Yok Don National park to see the elephants, or a trip to the huge waterfalls, etc.

For traveling Americans, you should know that there is no air conditioning, and the beds are traditional Vietnamese with very thin 3” foam pads over the wood frame. The mosquito nets work great while you’re sleeping, but you may still want bug spray for when you’re walking around barefoot otherwise. These are not complaints, just observations to help avoid surprises. I would absolutely stay here again.

The whole family is making you feel like you're home. When you leave, you're not just a guest, you're a friend. They helped me planning everything around, from my activities and transportation inside the city and around to the transportation to my next destination. Confort is basic but sufficient, what's incredible is the experience you have when you stay there.

I absolutely loved staying with the family! They were so kind and accommodating and even threw me a birthday party! My room was very comfortable, the homemade food was so tasty, I had such a lovely time and I look forward to seeing them again in the future!

It can be a bit tricky to find the house at night and it's a 10 minute drive into the city center but this was so minor I really didn't mind at all!

The atmosphere of family was briliant. I had dinner with family and they made me felt like I were part of their family.

This is by far my favorite stay. I have stayed at quite a few hostels in Vietnam and the facilities here are much better for comparable if not lower price. Unless there is another person in the room on your floor, you essentially have the bathroom to yourself. It’s similar bathroom style to traditional houses where the shower is in the same room as the toilet. Hot water was great. My room was quite large with a desk and a mosquito net. The bed was firm, like most beds in Vietnam, but not as hard as other places I had stayed at, which made it quite easy to sleep. FYI no AC but the family provides a fan. What made this stay special was the family - this is a true home stay. They are FANTASTIC!! Very welcoming and kind. They had opened up the home stay a few years ago to help their daughter improve her English and they themselves have been learning as well. Their eldest daughter, who isn’t at the home stay but controls the Zalo account, was BEYOND helpful before I even got there. She gave me great advice for what to do in the area, when to book things in advance, and even booked my bus ticket for me to get to BMT and offered to book other transportation as well. I had soooo any questions but she was incredibly patient in answering everything. Mom and Dad were welcoming from the moment I walked in and even had some food ready because they knew I was coming at an odd hour. Dad will take you to amazing sights in the country side and to the family farm as well as a neighboring coffee farm. He knows a lot of his neighbors, including those from the E De minority group, so you can interact with them with beers or home visits and learn more about their culture. Ngan, their daughter who lives there, is also very helpful and even took me for a market run in the morning because I was curious to see this part of daily life. Mom is also a great chef and always has fruit or corn ready in case you are hungry. Highly recommend if you want a unique glimpse into local life.

Nothing! Everything was fantastic

Stay with a real family in vietnam, basic facilities but you will find the real Vietnam. Lovey couple and daughter made us feel very welcome. Facilities are basic but adequate, as reflected in the price.

A little remote, but enough facilities around for food etc

Such friendly and welcoming family, and throughly enjoying chatting with them over dinner and morning coffee Great value for money They provided us with dinner and breakfast which was great due to it being heavily raining and not many vegetarian options nearby (they too kindly ate vegetarian that night with us) Very cute decor and I can really see they have taken pride in their Homestay

Leak in the room which dropped on me all night unfortunately Hot water unfortunately didn’t work well and would lose pressure when I turned to hot Needs a facelift and minor changes but I didn’t mind this really

Great hosts. Invited me to family dinner which was delicious. Showed me around the neighbourhood. Very helpful and easy to talk to. A true homestay experience. No frills. Best stay so far.
