We loved our stay here. The staff is super friendly, it is peaceful. We miss showering under the stars and all the exotic birds singing all the time. Only downside was the heat at times, fans were not enough. The fact that the city or anything to do is far away, but we loved all the tours they offered and took advantage of these for activities. Lastly the kitchen uses a lot of oil, I wish things were not always fried so heavily.

Au calme
Le personnel est extrêmement attentif et serviable.
Les bungalows sont dans un verger fleuri avec une terrasse sur la rivière. Il n'y a pas de bruit de circulation autour.
Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les visites proposées par l'hôtel à vélo ou en bateau.

Ajout tranquille b
Séjour très agréable dans la campagne du delta du Mékong.
Nous avons fait la.sortie longue en bateau proposée par l hotel: genial. Notre guide anglophone Anh nous a agréablement fait visiter la vie sur le Mékong.
Dans notre chambre familiale un lit n'était pas très confortable.

Super séjour !!
Personnel super agréable, emplacement exceptionnel, repas excellents, rapport qualité/prix excellent, pour la chambre(avions la chambre 7), cela ressemble à un dortoir car les cloisons en bambou ne montent pas jusqu'au plafond donc quand quelqu'un se lève tôt pour une excursion ou autre, on est réveillé ...
A part ça, excellent séjour !!

Très bel établissement avec un personnel attentionné. En revanche, en dehors de l hotel tout est très sale. Le Mékong est jonché de plastique...une catastrophe écologique.

Idéalement situé pour une balade (qu’ils organisent eux-mêmes) sur les marchés flottants ! L’excursion Bateau comprend également une visite du marché de Can Tho, d’une fabrique familiale de chocolat et d’une usine de pâtes de riz. Excellente journée passée avec nos guides. Pour la chambre elle est sommaire voir plutôt rustique. Vue imprenable sur le Mékong, ce qui veut aussi dire réveil aux aurores par les bateaux ! Restauration sur place. En bref très sympa pour passer une à deux nuits.

Fun times in the Mekong
We had a wonderful stay! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. It’s an open air eco lodge so don’t expect luxury...if you’re looking for a true, immersive experience in the Mekong delta, then stay at the Nguyen Shack! The organized tours along the river and to the floating market leave right from the lodge and are totally worth it! We would stay here again!

Stop the world and get off!
Stayed 3 nights, be prepared to sit in a hammock with a book and wind down, went on 5.30am boat to market, a must do and a sunset one too. We took bikes out all around the waterways, use google maps as no signs! Food here very good so no need to look for restaurants. For quieter room try to be over the bridge away from pool, & bar, we tried to change but full, in the end though we loved our room up a loft ladder open to the water. It’s really quirky here and staff are simply brilliant. Helps If you like cats & dogs who live in too.

Kan kun anbefale et ophold
Vi har haft et fantastisk ophold på dette hotel med vores to drenge på hhv 13 og 15 år. Vi overvejede at bestille hotel i Can Tho, da dette hotel ligger udenfor byen. Opholdet blev dog det ophold vi alle vender tilbage til som den bedste tid,l vi havde i Vietnam.

Stunning location, great reasonable priced tours, yummy food and the friendliest staff!
I had a great time at this laid back hotel by the Mekhong Delta. Easily reached by fancy sleeper bus from Saigon and then a short taxi ride, this place is a great base to relax and explore life on the Mekhong Delta. I took two tours here, one evening food tour and another day trip to see the floating markets, cocoa farm and how they make noodles. Both were excellent, my highlight being eating Pho on the boat for breakfast!
The girls that work here are absolutely lovely and always have a smile and something nice to say to you. They really make the difference to your stay. Thank you!

Great stay "in the jungle"
Great hut with a feeling of staying "in the jungle" next to the river. Very convenient for early morning trips on the river to the floating markets.
