The host is very responsive and helpful. Nice staff.

Vu and his family were extremely welcoming, the air-conditioned room very spacious and comfortable, and the home-cooked food just delicious (you can help prepare it and learn how it’s done!). To boot, Vu was super-helpful in arranging for transport from and to HCMC and his tours are lots of fun, while offering real insights into life in the Delta.

The place is really great. The rooms are newly renovated and very clean - especially the bathrooms. AC works super fine and it was not facing the bed directly (I love these details) the bed is a bit softer than the usual Vietnamese ones - still harder than the average European. The food was awesome (I had the elephant ear fish, it's exceptionally nicely arranged and prepared, and big enough for two) The staff is super friendly. There are three generations living in the house the elders don't speak English but so there best with Google translate, the daughter speaks English and German like a pro and the young ones try there best with basic school English. What is really exceptional about the place is how helpful they are and how much they enable their guests to experience the surroundings by boat bike or even motorbike if you ask nicely :) Really 10/10 imho

I had an amazing stay at La Villa de Coco Ben Tre, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, the relaxing atmosphere and peaceful surroundings made me feel at home. I stayed in the Let Go Room, which was beautifully designed with comfort and simplicity in mind—perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature. One of the highlights of my stay was the adorable Linh, who was so warm and welcoming. Her kindness and hospitality truly made the experience special. The food here is also fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and full of local charm. Every meal felt like a home-cooked delight, adding to the overall sense of comfort and relaxation. If you're looking for a tranquil retreat with great food, a cozy atmosphere, and wonderful people, La Villa de Coco Ben Tre is the perfect place.

Very friendly staff and beautiful land. Cute dogs!

Gorgeous grounds! Very beautiful and peaceful! It was everything I’d hoped for!

A lovely way to finish our 1 month of travels in Vietnam with a few days watching the Mekong life happen all around. The lodge is situated a little south of Cai Be, which can be accessed by boat (which picks you up from the tourist harbor) or by foot (a nice 30 minute walk into town along a narrow road). The vibe here is super chill - we walked into the early morning (land) market one morning (excellent) and did the resort boat tour the 2nd day (a great way to get a small taste of all the industries centered around rice, fruit, etc). Both days followed by a relaxing afternoon on our little villa patio (with pool) or in the pool area watching the Mekong boat traffic, and the amazing sunsets. I can not fault this property - it is an ecolodge employing many local people, and teaching them English plus tourism, a commendable ‘give back’ to the community (especially after the 2 year shut down in COVID). The food was tasty/local and the property itself is spotless - flowers/greenery everywhere. So, if you are reading this post, STAY HERE and escape the touristy areas of MyTho and Can Tho - the floating markets may be bigger in those places, but Cai Be gives you a true sense of how times are changing with technology and transport - most of the floating market has now (rightfully) moved to the morning/land market so that more people can access/shop there (makes sense! wouldn’t your country do the same!!). If you read people criticizing this place for food or accommodation, clearly because they expect 5 star Marriott in an ecolodge, then judge for yourself - I am a seasoned traveller and this place is up there with one of my favorites (location is tops). Also - the staff are learning to interact with you as a tourist, so be respectful and help them - smile, explain, and use Google translate or know their name!!! GREAT job Mekong Lodge Resort - I will visit again.

Very “niche-type” of resort, not catering to mass traveler looking for holiday in the sun. The Mekong Delta offers fabulous experiences, including boat trips, kayaking, hiking, etc, but all of that is for a special type of sophisticated traveler.
