    When I was there, Huy was on his own,and while my room, bedding, etc was spotless, the shared spaces could have done with a bit of a tidy up.

    A beautiful place, off the beaten track, in the heart of the Mekong. Huy upgraded me to the family suite, a beautiful teak bungalow with a large covered terrace. The dining room is lovely too, and outdoor spaces are lovely too. I was the only guest for my three day stay, and Huy took care of me throughout, inviting me for dinner with friends for two evenings and cooking dinner for me on the last evening when we had a great chat. His English is excellent. Huy organised a half day river trip, with his cousin (or niece?), who was delightful and informative, lent me his scooter for an afternoon, and drove me to my bus at the end of the stay. It was the most authentic experience of Vietnamese life of my whole stay, with genuinely friendly people as curious about me as I was about them. I was unsure how much I would be charged for the many "extras", but I only paid for the evening meal, and the boat excursion, both very reasonable.

    The bed was on the harder side but still got a good night sleep.

    Super quirky and rustic property that made you feel like you were in the middle of nowhere. I loved the remoteness of the place and immediately felt relaxed. The hosts were amazing and went out of their way to show us around, suggest activities and bought child friendly food.

    The place is beautifully done up and nestled among wonderful nature. The rooms are comfortable, and the host is incredibly gracious. He arranged for us to have a boat ride and see the area, and meals and even had breakfast for us when we left very early the next day. He also helped arrange a taxi for us to leave early since the place is very remote. We had a great time here.

    The location is AMAZING!! Outside of the busy city in a quiet side street with coconut trees all around you. The room we had was huge which a nice outdoor bathroom. Great common areas and multiple hammocks where you can relax. Definitely do the boat tour with the small boat! So so nice drive through beautiful surroundings. Also the food is amazing and we had a very fun karaoke night :)

    Hui was a great host and took us for a personal trip on a small boat on the river. Both he and his wife were very generous and we had a fabulous meal cooked by his wife with plentiful beer. don’t worry about your bill - it will be less than you think! Thank you Hui for taking us to My Tho - I wish you would have accepted some money!!

    Make sure you take enough cash to cover your stay as the ATM is back in town and bank transfers are quite tricky. It was hard to pin him down on the total cost of our stay until the morning we were leaving- I was worried we might get ripped off but it really was a very good deal with all food and trips. But knowing upfront would have made it easier to avoid having to do a bank transfer.

    Huy was an excellent host and his wife is so lovely and an excellent cook. Beds were a bit hard but very clean and air conditioned. His trips were fantastic and we were able to see the real Mekong - shrimps straight out of the net of the fishing boat cooked for us on the boat, canoeing down the narrow canals. His wife taught us to make local food and cooked a fish we caught in the river outside our room. All tasted amazing. Very interesting to be able to talk to him about real life in Vietnam. Everyone loved the karaoke!

    A perfect experience in the Mekong Delta with Huy, the host. The place is beautiful, comfortable and quiet. But you should also let Huy show you the real delta. He will share his knowledge and will treat you as a visiting friend! The food cooked by his wife was amazing and it was nice sharing a drink while watching the games! Thanks for all!!!

    it was in an amazing location off the touristy areas, surrounded by authentic life and nature. The rooms were large and very comfortable. But the best part? The hosts. from the amazing food they cooked to taking time to show us around their neighborhood, it was everything a homestay should be. if you are in Ben Tre, definitely book a stay here—you won’t regret it!

    The host is extremely nice and welcoming. He took me out on the surrounding rivers by boat to show me the area and explain me more about the local culture. The food they serve is amazing and very fresh. Room is clean, spacious and comes with everything you may need, from hair dryer to toothbrush to Airconditioning and water.

    His homestay is in fact a guest house in dire need of renovation and some serious tidying up. Also it was expensive for what it was.

    Hui is a very nice man and he took us along to his nearby family, very much appreciated!

    Everything fits the description.

    the place is charming as its name say. in the countryside, but close to Ben Tre, and there are some places to visit around, either by bike or motorbike. Huey is an amazing host, friendly and willing to have a good conversation. He will show you around, if he is not busy, or will find a good friend to go with you. His girlfriend will cook for you the most delicious and delicate dishes you could imagine. you’ll feel as home. Some guitars and karaoke to enjoy the night as well. I’ hopefully come back soon!
