“We had an awesome stay with Jimmy and his little family at his homestay. Jimmy speaks pretty good English, which made communicating easy, and he went the extra mile to show us around and show us where to get local food etc.
The room was clean and tidy if simple. Jimmy also runs tours through a few travel agency platforms, but we just organised something with him directly. He took us on a river boating trip, which was very peaceful, and Jimmy gave some great insight into the life of the locals along the waterways. We visited the floating markets in Can Tho where boats and vendors traded fresh produce and local meals. We visited local rice noodle producers’ workshop and a small fruit farm. We then transitioned onto bicycles at a temple (Jimmy arranged prior) and rode through the countryside — past rice paddies, quaint villages, blacksmiths, local diners — seeing how people live, working in fields, kids waving, the smell of cooking in small roadside kitchens. Visiting the local artisans and blacksmiths was a highlight: and we had some of the regions best noodles at a little lunch stop where you have to press the noodles yourself.
In the homestay, Jimmy was around if you needed something but not overbearing; he was good for a chat over a beer to get an idea about culture and the struggles of Vietnam. He’s politically savvy. Can Tho isn’t exactly a hotspot of action and you only need a few days there but definitely enhanced our trip. If we stayed in Saigon the whole time, we wouldn’t have seen the more authentic aspects of Vietnam.
If you want an authentic, immersive glimpse of rural life, this place is an absolute gem.”
“The location was a little out of the town centre in a beautiful area amongst nature. The area could be reached by a shuttle bus, organised by the host and both the town and countryside/river areas could be easily accessed using the free bicycles. Summer, The Host, is such a beautiful person who had prepared information for us to make the most of our stay and was very happy to answer any additional questions in her fluent English. The home was comfortable and wonderfully styled to capture the essence of an authentic Vietnam experience.
Everything was beyond our expectations - food was delicious, catered for special food request, bedding was clean and comfortable, setting was quiet and had access to air conditioning, use of kitchen. What more could you ask for?Summer is a generous, welcoming person. Her compassion towards her pet dog, who she had rescued from a dangerous and uncomfortable situation, was so heartwarming. We enjoyed every second of the time we were fortunate to spend at this beautiful homestay and hope to return one day. Thanks so much for your exceptional kindness, insight and generosity, Summer.”
“The property is situated in a really peaceful and hidden place, perfect to be close to nature and rest.
Food was really good, big serve.
We did the Floating Market tour which was amazing, it worth the price for sure.
I really want to thanks the staff who was EXTREMELY helpful and kind to us. My friend and I were struggling a lot finding ways to go in different places around, and the staff was always here to help as much as they could do.
Thank again for this amazing experience, I recommend a 100%”
“Beautiful set up, in a quaint rural setting. Duyen who is the owners employee is a wonderful host with good English. The food is super fresh & excellent, the spring rolls will be hard to beat!”
“The house is great. The fact that there are 2 rooms available was nice for us, coming as 2 couples.
Jimmy and his family's experience as tourist guides were very helpful to get around the Mekong Delta”
“Lovely place for a restful break from the cities. The staff are really helpful, friendly and chatty and arranged a great trip visiting a couple of local family businesses and interesting boat trips which we will always remember. Pool was lovely... Deep enough to swim and really clean, food was wonderful and they had a vegan menu which was the cherry on the cake (food talk!). We went for a bike ride at about the busiest time, which was mad, but we were given a map and followed a lovely quiet route after getting off the main road. Highly recommend this lovely place.”
