IsraelA Unique and Heartwarming Experience, Thanks to Dou and Her Family
Staying at this homestay was a truly special experience, and it’s all thanks to our wonderful host, Dou, and her lovely family. From the moment we arrived, Dou welcomed us warmly and took care of us throughout our entire stay. She even guided us on a local tour, recommended excellent places to eat, and brought us to a wonderful massage spot.
We were two couples – my husband and I, and our son with his girlfriend. My husband and I stayed in the main house, which includes a dining area, library, and bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, there’s a cozy bedroom with air conditioning and a spacious seating area with a balcony overlooking the river. The house is tastefully decorated with delicate aesthetics and great attention to detail.
Our son and his girlfriend stayed in a nearby room above the family house. That space is more modern in style, yet just as charming.
We stayed for two nights and had a magical early-morning trip to the nearby floating market to watch the sunrise – a truly unforgettable experience.
Even after we left, Dou continued to assist us – helping us order special items we had seen at her place and arranging two drivers to take us to our next destination.
Dou speaks excellent English and is the heart and soul of this place. She made our stay not only comfortable but genuinely meaningful.
The only downside is the noise of boats passing along the river – but surprisingly, we got used to it quickly and it didn’t take away from the experience.
A special mention to Dou’s mother, a fantastic cook, who surprised us with a delicious homemade dinner after our trip, and even prepared sandwiches and snacks for us to take when we left – without us asking.
If you’re looking for an authentic, warm, and unforgettable experience, this is the perfect place.
