Reviews of MEKONG DANIEL HOMESTAY CAN THO 3 stars

Extremely warm and welcoming family. Beautiful grounds. Lovely food.

Prefer a softer mattress. Lots of mosquiotos.

This is one one the best homestay I've ever experienced. You can clearly feel the delta of Mekong vibe, by taking one of the free bike and going around. Thanh, the guide, is incredible: the way she explained to us everything during the tour at the floating market, the local market and the cocoa farm. The owners make us feel at home, the food was great and so fresh. You should really think about coming to Can Tho this is the place to stay, you will love it!

It is a lovely place, the staff was amazing and really helpful.

Meals were deliciously, the best and freshest tofu we have tasted! Tanh was knowledgeable and took good care of our family. We did the Mekong Delta floating markets which was the highlight of our trip. Jenny was also warm, friendly and hospitable, helping to book our onward bus trip and any other needs we may have had. Lovely family and we would reccomend to others.

Thanks Daniel, his wife and all the staff working there. I had a great time with my family. We will come back again.

It was very Very good 👍

Natural beauty Green area and peaceful ✌️

The bungalow was very cozy and clean with a shaded front porch and hammock. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and there was a small restaurant on site which served delicious food for all meals. They provided different tours in English, we went on 2 tours of the canals and floating markets with Tan who was brilliant. She was fun and knowledgeable, showing us places off the beaten track, tasting food etc. she made the stay really memorable and we were sad we couldn’t stay longer.

We had an idyllic stay at this property with our family of 4 (kids aged 6 and 9). We made some wonderful friends (other guests) and enjoyed the tours with Tan - a true gem and beacon of hospitality who we will remember fondly. The floating market was a must-do and the small canals tour was also great. Daniel and Jenny have truly created a home-like atmosphere where we always felt welcome. We were often given fresh fruit picked right from the garden - so tasty! I think the sweet spot here would be 3-5 nights to really get the most out of it. Can Tho is a 20 minute taxi away but we skipped the city and just stayed at the property as it was so relaxing. WIFI was good - you could work here if needed. Food and coffee were very nice. Standouts include the lemongrass tofu, pork ribs, BBQ shrimp and sweet & sour squid. If you have a group, order the whole roasted chicken! The menu really can't get any more local as they visit the nearby market daily to prepare your dinner order. The spa services with Windy were affordable and lovely (I have visited many spas and the cupping treatment + hair shampoo were some of the best I have ever had! I would highly recommend to anyone).

The pillows were not our favourite.

We had the loveliest stay with Jenny and Daniel, so kind and welcoming! The tours we did were amazing and Than was the best tour guide with so much energy and generousity with her time in taking care of us. The food was incredible, every dinner was so delicious! It was truly the most perfect place to getaway and relax, a real break from reality. We loved our time here!

Wow, this was a fantastic accommodation! A great private and spacious chalet with a nice veranda and an excellent bed. Yummy breakfast and delicious dinner were served in a nice central area. Very helpful and superfriendly staff. Many local options for excursions, bicycles, bikes but also massages. Highly recommended!!

The location is magical, the real wilderness. The garden is beautifully decorated and has unique plants and fruit trees from a European perspective. You can meet animals, the food is delicious, and the hosts are extremely kind. I took part in two tours, so a special thanks to Becky, who made me feel wonderful all day and we became friends. I highly recommend booking this accommodation if you want to feel like you are in nature among good people.

Rural location in the heart of the Mekong delta. Genuinely rustic vibe, Vietnamese huts with palm leaf walls and roof on a wooden frame set amidst canals, ponds and an amazing variety of fruit trees. Mekong tour is a fascinating must-do. Daniel and Jenny are delightful hosts.

It was great, though palm walls and roofs mean the rooms aren’t insect-proof, so beware! A little way from the city so the choice of restaurants and other shopping is limited, but again, it’s obvious when you book.

Very pleasant stay with Daniel, his family, and his team. Warm and relaxed atmosphere. Especially the tours guided by the young and energetic Thanh are real highlights – you couldn’t dream of better company to explore the surroundings. The bungalows are comfortable and peaceful. The roosters crow in the day, and karaoke echoes in the background, springing up from everywhere between the gardens and the canals – it’s the soundtrack of your stay. Highly recommended!

maybe ask for a mosquito net if you get bitten a lot

Great hosts and guides. Thanh was fabulous.

Lots of biting bugs at night

We loved the slow pace after the non stop hustle and bustle of Saigon. The surroundings are rural and the owners and staff looked after us very well. Daniel and Jenny and staff made us feel welcome. Special shout out to Thanh who from the first moment made us feel special. (Hope i spelled name correctly) Dale and Marilyn

Nothing at all to complain about. Oh, except that damn rooster . Ha ha. But then again we were surrounded by working farms.

Peaceful, restful, well designed, bikes available, lovely food (could even get a nice red wine!). Than was brilliant and a massive asset to Mekong Daniel! Her humour, energy, information and care made this place our favourite place and if we came back would stay longer. A number of trips are offered (another reason we would stay longer) and we were lucky to have Than as our tour guide!

Daniel and Jenny made us feel so welcome, like part of the family. And Thanh was just a fantastic guide. We loved our boat trip and the time we spent in the markets and the noodle and cocoa factories with her. She made it all such fun. We both enjoyed the best massages ever with Windy back at the Homestay - she is wonderful! The beautiful garden, the peace and tranquility and the people made this a perfect stay for us. We would love to come back again.

We loved the location the people and the food. We’re already missing our morning coffee with Daniel, Tina and the other lady’s cooking, Wendy’s massages, Thanh’s crazy and witty self, I didn’t catch the guy’s name that took us out on the boat but he’s a good and funny man, and of course beautiful Jenny who helped so much on booking our transportation to them and she gave very valuable information to continue on our journey, she made all arrangements for us, we couldn’t thank her enough. These are down to earth folks who would not stir you wrong. If you’re looking for a peaceful calm place surrounded by caring folks, this is your place. Just bring bug spray!

Bugs but that natural

The very friendly staff, knowledgeable and efficient. Rural and very relaxing. Perfect chill out location after a couple of months travelling. Comfortable.

Really liked the place.

Our stay at this accommodation was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with open arms by the amazing Daniel and Jenny, who instantly made us feel at home. Their warmth, kindness, and attention to detail created a truly unforgettable experience. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and so cozy – every little touch made it clear how much care went into making guests feel comfortable. The yard was a serene oasis, full of fruit trees and lush greenery, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere. We spent countless moments there, simply enjoying the tranquility. The food was absolutely incredible. The home-cooked meals were a feast for the senses – fresh, local, and made with so much love. It was some of the best food we’ve ever had! A big shoutout to Thanh, the tour guide, who made our trip so memorable. Her knowledge and passion were unmatched. Exploring with Thanh felt like discovering hidden treasures, and her energy made every moment an adventure. Windy’s massages were another highlight of our stay – her skilful hands worked wonders after long days of exploration, leaving us feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. She’s a true gem! This wasn’t just a place to stay – it was a home. The care, love, and attention from Daniel, Jenny, Tina, Thanh, Windy, and even Cacao made this an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for more than just a vacation – a chance to connect, relax, and experience the heart of the region – this is the place to be. We’re already dreaming of coming back one day. Thank you, Daniel, Jenny, and your incredible team, for making our stay so special! 💛
