Gò Chanh Homestay

Comfortable homestay with small, clean bungalows in a beautiful garden with waterways, very peaceful. The team was attentive and motivated.

Communicating in English was not easy. The homestay is located in a small village, as tourists it was a bit difficult to organize food and transportation.

Beautiful place outside the city, free bicycles available, they ask for a donation to keep those running.

The family who runs this homestay and all their staff are lovely, kind and helpful. Google translate helps with communication. Beautiful gardens with lots of peaceful green shady spaces to relax in - many of them covered so you can sit out even in the rain. Flowers, fruit trees, fish, frogs, birds, butterflies and geckos. The bungalows themselves are well designed and pretty both inside and out. I booked a large one (for one person) as I was planning to be here for a week and didn't want to feel cramped. In reality, given how much outside space there is, that wasn't necessary but it was nice to have the bigger space. Comfortable beds and quiet aircon but one thing I really liked about this place is that it had wall fans, so I found I didn't need the aicon at all. There's a shared kitchen area if you need it and a fridge in each room (I had misunderstood the description and expected a private kitchen area). There's some nice roads for cycling around here and there's a local village with a market about 10 minutes walk away. It's true there aren't many options for eating close by, but there's a good vegan restaurant just a couple of minutes walk away (open 6am - 11am so good for breakfast or early lunch) and the lady here cooked for me every evening - she made sure I never had to have the same thing twice. The restaurant/cafe here is open all day but it's probably best to ask in advance if you want food preparing. Twice a week they have music events with local performers so if you're here on a Wednesday or Friday you can see some traditional music as well. On the last day, the owner took me himself to the pick up point for my onwards transfer. Thank you!

Nothing!

cute and tranquil.

rooms a little small for 2 but at this price, u can easily book a room for each person for comfort

I couldn’t recommend this place more. The rooms are great, clean and peaceful. The family are wonderful, they even let us use their kitchen to cook meals and offered tips for vietnamese meals, cooking with us and sharing meals. The place is slightly further out, but the quiet is what you really should experience in the Mekong Delta anyway

It is a beautiful homestay with truly lovely people. They don't speak English, but this is easily solved with google translate. You can ask them anything and they will try to help you. From booking a tour to getting a taxi and even preparing some food while they didn't actually have some, they fixed everything! The homestay is very peaceful and relaxing. It is important that you know what kind of place mekong delta is before visiting. It is a place of its own and definitely not everybody will like it. However if you do think you like it i can definitely recommend this homestay!!

Like I said the area where you are staying is a place of its own. Its not so much something that I did not like but rather something that took some getting used to. Most people take a day tour from HCMC to see Mekong Delta. Because of this it is still a place which isn't influenced by tourist a lot, which makes it a very authentic place. Because of this I would very much recommend it, but like i said before: know / be prepared as to what kind of place you will get into when you choose to stay here.
