Reviews of The Moon River Homestay & Villa

The location is amazing - right in the Tra Que vegetable village, in front of the river, with chickens next door and with beautiful view into the greenery. The Wi-Fi was strong and there was a good table in the room in case you need to work online. The room was reasonably clean and the shower with hot water was great.

I almost never write negative reviews but we were attracted by the raving reviews of this villa and it simply isn’t the current reality now in April 2025. This property probably seen great times in the past but not right now. - When we arrived, they were fixing the swimming pool so it was not possible to use it. When we were leaving, it was still nowhere near to be finished. It was a disappointment because with a child having the pool access was very important. No information about this on Booking.com or in their communication. There could be a discount offered because a crucial part of the facilities was not working. - The family is very kind and sweet on the first sight. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Considering it is a small house with just 4 rooms and family business you would expect them to be there for their guests. Unfortunately we had to hunt them every time we needed anything. It seems they are juggling other businesses or jobs but the guests shouldn’t feel it. During our stay we felt completely left behind and not taken care of. The man of the house is walking around shirtless all the time in front of children and guests (first time I see this in Vietnam). After experiencing the hospitality in Vietnam for several weeks, this was a disappointment and all other villas that we visited cared much more about their guests and behaved in more professional way. - Very simple breakfast - everywhere else you get a fruit plate. In the middle of Tra Que vegetable village… no fruit. Plus we were supposed to warm up our own breakfast at the shocking time of 9 am. It was too much for the guests. They asked me to make my own scrambled eggs. :-) What a hospitality. I work in tourism my whole life and this is the first time I experience that I pay for breakfast which I am supposed to make myself. Not being around for their guest in the breakfast time just shows how much the owners care about their property.

My cousin and I stayed here for a week because we needed a break. The moon river Homestay was exactly what we needed, it was the perfect distance between beach and town making it easy to have the best of both worlds, beach days and evening activities. Our hosts, Moon and Tri are some of the nicest people I have met, Moon took us out one day to go see a factory store and showed us some awesome street food. We did have some struggles but our hosts were very quick to respond after we talked to them. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone that is traveling and needs a tranquil place to enjoy the amazing Hoi An!

Peaceful, but good access to beach and main town by bicycle. Tri and Moon were very nice, and the pool was great! Bed was comfy.

Decoration a bit tired, but great value for money.

Tri & Moon were lovely hosts and were very helpful and accommodating. Tri's breakfasts were delicious and it was to have several options to choose from, so we had a different local dish every day, along with lovely Vietnamese coffee. The room was basic, but had everything we needed. It was great value for money and we would happily stay again.

Moon and Tri are very kind hosts and they make you feel at home right away. The location, in Tra Que Village between the city and the beach, was great and peacefull. Breakfast was delicious.

We loved our stay. The hosts are lovely people who make you feel like family. Lovely view in a lovely location.

Love the people and the area pool was great

Food was not good

It is a 5stars Homestay in a lovely mostly quiet, green and very authentic area in Hoi An. I recommend it to everyone who prefers the sounds of birds over the sounds of motorbikes. It is very easy to get to a bank, market, shops in town or to the beach by simple bicycles provided for reasonable price. I loved my river view and enjoyed the swimming pool, that was warm and good enough size for a little swimming. I loved Tra Que Village with is wide green gardens, where the Homestay is located. Moon and Tri made me feel taken care of very well. I would come back here!

As mentioned it is a 5 stars homestay but not a 5 stars hotel, as the price also indicates. Come with expectations accordingly and you are going to be very happy with your choice. One thing you might want to bear in mind that the internet connection is not always totally reliable. But there is a fancy co-working space nearby in case you have critical tasks at those few times when there is no strong connection.

Nice clean room with you're one bathroom. Warm water, Airco. The owner and his wife where verry friendly. After checking out I still could use the swimmingpool. They even brought me to the bus pickup location.

Location is amazing - located on the island, next to the garden fields, close to the centre and close to the beach. Owners were nice, allowed us early check in and free room upgrade. View from the room super nice, pool was okay and breakfast tasty.

No hot water in the morning.

Breakfast was great, there is a menu for you to choose from. The place was nicely hidden within a far , so the view and atmosphere was great!

Tri and his stuff are very friendly and supportive. We really like the location of the homestay just outside of Hoi An in the vegetable village. So if you prefer nature and more quiet, it its a great homestay. You need to rent a scooter to get into the City of Hoi An (You can rent it at the homestay). It's just a 7-minute drive to the Center of Hoi An. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again (as we already did, it was our second time, staying at the moonriver homestay)

everything was great.

This homestay is on the island which means it is away from the hussle and bussle of the city centre. It is perfect to relax and even get in touch with nature if you want to. The owners, Tri and Moon are phenomenal. They are kind, caring and willing to inlcude you in all of their activities (if you wish to do so). It is a 5 - 10 minute drive to the old town on a scooter and the same distance from the beach. They have a beautiful pool on the property, which meant we did not even need to go to the beach to swim. I would recommend this place to everyone. It was wonderful.

Don’t hesitate to book this property! Hosts are so friendly and helpful. A stunning location with views across the river and fields. Clean and spacious room. Great shower. Lovely breakfast. lots of activities in the area.

Nothing.

Tri & Moon were wonderful host they looked after me beyond expectation nothing was to much for them to make my stay great.

Every was good except for the weather this they could not change.
