The family that owns this hostel are very nice and welcoming. It is mostly run by the mother, she does not speak English but uses translation well and is very willing to help with anything you need. Fantastic woman. The area is quiet but beautiful. They have free bicycles and you can rent a scooter, which would be ideal to go to restaurants etc. There are 4 dogs, all very friendly. I did the bicycle tour, which they organised for me, and enjoyed it a lot.

Warmth and willingness to help

Lovely host, free bikes and water available

My wife and I had a great time here. It's basic, as most of homestays, but people booking it should already know it. At the same time is very authentic. It's about 3 km from the city center (market, restaurants, etc.) but you can use bikes for free and be there in 10 minutes. There's Grab operating in Ben Tre as well. It's a bit noisy as people start day early and there's a lot of animals around (dogs, cocks) so earplugs are useful. I really recommend the Mekong Delta boat tour organized by them. We had a great guide and learn, and laugh a lot during the tour. Also, it's worth to take a bike and go to the other side of Ben Tre river - just cross the bridge, go straight on two roundabouts and after the second turn first right. They also helped us with other things, e.g. ordered a shuttle bus for us and even took us to a meeting point to be sure we won't miss it. Graet people and great stay.
