Homestay Phong de Pêche

L’accueil et la gentillesse de toute la famille, les repas cuisines par madame,la campagne tout autour, balade en vélo tres agreable. La comprehension du proprietaire face a mon impossibilite de rester une 2nde nuit, il m’a meme conduite en moto a la gare routiere.

Je n’ai pu dormir que 3h environ , passages frequents des bateaux tres sonores et provoquant le tangage du bateau dortoir, forte odeur de moisi et de repellent, notamment sur la literie qui m’a fait tousser toute la nuit. Sommeil fragile et allergique aux moisissures s’abstenir. Le prix est trop eleve par rapport a la qualite de l’hebergement. A 5h, diffusion des informations nationales par haut parleur. Le soir aussi ,mais c’est moins genant.

If there is one word to describe our hosts it is 'caring'. From the moment we arrived in Sa Dec until we got on the bus to leave we were incredibly well looked after by Phuong and his lovely son. Plus lovely food cooked by their wife and partner who we didn't have the pleasure of meeting . The boat was small but perfect (plenty of storage for bags) and it was delightful being on the river watching the world go by. Sa Dec is worth visiting . It didn't feel at all touristie. We were able to wander through the fascinating market without being bothered and sat at a street corner cafe watching the supplies being biked to the market. The Ancient house is worth a visit to listen to the hilarious guide. And the flowers in Sa Dec are stunning. We highly recommend this accommodation and this city. We are so pleased we chose it.

Wonderful place! The hospitable host explained how to get there, met us at the bus, and drove us to the location. Breakfast was included in the price, and for a small fee, they provided a delicious home-cooked dinner. The host rented us a bike for the day. The room is simple, clean, and has air conditioning. The bathroom is equipped with everything necessary, towels were changed, and cleaning was done daily. There were no bugs or spiders. In the evening, it’s very calm and romantic on the boat. I definitely recommend this place! When we left, we forgot our phone charger in the room. The host brought it to us directly at the bus station.

The bedding is synthetic. If replaced with natural materials, it would be much more comfortable to sleep. I recommend bringing earplugs: early in the morning, the city radio starts playing outside, and boats and mopeds begin passing by.

Unique and beautiful experience. The host and his staff is friendly and very helpful. The location is about 10-15 mins from the main town, chợ Sa Đéc, but the host can help to call grab taxi for you. If you don't feel like going to town, the host can also help cook food or grab food for you. I would recommend the host to put rules like guests are not allowed to eat or drink (except water) on the boats to keep as many bugs and creatures (like ants..) away as possible. They have a little nice deck, and all food and drink could be consumed there instead. But future guests please understand, staying on the boat is very close to camping/ glamping experience, so of course there are bugs in nature regardless. Mosquitoes are not avoidable, so do bring your strong bug spray / lotion. But of course it's more comfortable than camping since you have a nice bed with AC and your own bathroom , kinda nice . Recommend to try. :)

I really enjoyed my stay at Phong’s! It was a great way to see Sa Dec as bikes (or motorbikes) are available to rent, and you are right in the flower growing area a bit north of downtown. Phong was very friendly and helpful! The property was very unique and a highlight of my visit.

I found it difficult to get comfortable at night as the mattress was quite thin and firm. It’s definitely noisy with dogs, boats and motorbikes at night, I’d definitely recommend ear plugs. Not great if you’re claustrophobic, perhaps the other boat was better but I didn’t check it out.
