Việt Mekong Farmstay

“Pleasant staff great location but the park trip was a disaster but still ended up being charged for it”

The location and staff were good, but the trip to the national park was an extra cost, towels weren’t included as standard, and you had to pay for coffee at breakfast.

“A Beautiful Farmstay with Kind Hosts – Just Not the Farm Experience I Came For”

I stayed at Viet Mekong Farmstay for 3 nights as a solo traveller seeking an authentic farm experience in the Mekong Delta; the farm itself was peaceful, rustic and surrounded by beautiful orchards and gardens, and I especially enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings listening to frogs, birds and insects. The room and gardens matched the photos, and the two sons who looked after me were incredibly kind, polite and always smiling, happy to help with anything I needed, including arranging my visit to the nearby national park. The homemade dinners were delicious, and the complimentary lotus tea was a lovely local touch that I really appreciated; the dinners were amazing. The reason I’m not giving a higher rating is that the farm experience shown in the advertising didn’t match my experience as a solo traveller. The website and social media feature guests gathered around generous shared meals, wearing traditional farming clothes, walking through the water lilies, cooking, and interacting with the water buffalo, which were big reasons I chose to stay here. Unfortunately, I was told many of these experiences are only available for larger groups. The large food spreads shown in the photos also appear to be for groups rather than solo guests. The buffalo spent most of my stay grazing some distance away and was only brought closer on the morning I was leaving, so I never had the chance to interact with it. Breakfast on my first morning was also quite basic—a bread roll and a fried egg. Overall, this is a peaceful place with genuinely kind hosts, beautiful surroundings and delicious home‑cooked dinners. I would happily recommend it to travellers wanting a quiet rural escape. My only suggestion would be to make it clearer on the website and social media which activities and experiences are available to solo travellers and which are designed for larger groups; I think that would help future guests arrive with expectations that match the experience and avoid the disappointment I felt.

“Rất hài lòng”

The service was very attentive, but the roof tiles made a loud noise when the wind was strong.
