Mekong Delta is a very HUMID area. We are diligently trying to keep our house clean and airy. We provide mosquito nets, repellents, and incense cones if you need. 12. What to do while staying here? Besides riding bicycles, relaxing in hammocks, or simply unwinding at our homestay, we also suggest trying some local-based activities organized by us: Mekong Zig Zag tours: Is our family-run business offering the most authentic possible tours in Ben Tre. We’re very different from typical Mekong tours — no tourist traps, no pressure to buy souvenirs, no staged performances, and no commercial stops. ACTIVITIES: ⛵ Scooter/ Tuktuk rides ⛵ Healthy & best coconut candies ⛵ Mat-weaving house ⛵ Dedicated local Mekong food ⛵ Sailboat trip (with comfy beanbags) on the Mekong river ⛵ Visit local markets, delicious (and clean) street food and more local surprises ahead!!! YOU CAN CHOOSE: * Full-day trip: Our guests’ favorite experience — authentic, relaxing, and full of fun activities in the Mekong Delta. You’ll end the day feeling truly satisfied. * Half-day trip (Morning/Afternoon): Similar itinerary to the full-day trip, but a bit more rushed since everything is fit into a shorter timeframe. * Cooking class (explore & buy food at local markets, and cook at a local house). * 1.5Hrs relaxing Sailboat trip (Morning/Afternoon) Before check-in, may I ask: – What transportation will you use to arrive? (We can arrange a private car if needed.) – Your estimated arrival time? – Would you like to order lunch or dinner, and do you have any dietary restrictions? 🏡 Taxi and meal payments can be settled at check-out. I know this is a lot of information, but it is better to know and expect beforehand 🙏 Overall, I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. Feel free to leave us a message if you have any questions. We are looking forward to welcoming you soon! During your stay You could text us via watsapp or on the airbnb app Other things to note Before you arrive, we’d love to share a few honest notes so you know what to expect. We are a real homestay — not a resort or hotel. This is our family house in a small riverside village: simple, idyllic, and very local. We live here too and simply share our spare rooms with guests. Because of that, our home may not be 100% perfect — the entrance road, garden, and some nearby construction are still in progress, and we’re working hard every day to improve them. Since we’re part of a real community, you may hear everyday village sounds: occasional construction from kind neighbors (they avoid early hours), occasional loud karaoke around the neighborhood (this is a big unavoidable Mekong culture, they usually stop latest by 10pm, so you’ll have a peaceful night's sleep), or a few engine boats passing by the river. Some days are quiet; other days can be a bit more lively. If you’re looking for a completely silent, private nature retreat, we may not be the best fit. Most guests enjoy the authenticity, nature, and homey atmosphere here, but we understand some prefer more luxury and quietness. If you feel this isn’t right for you, we welcome you to find another accommodation. If you choose to stay and are open to blending in with the local culture, we believe you’ll truly enjoy our clean, comfortable room, the beautiful river view, and the real home-cooked meals we prepare for you. Through our hospitality, we’ll do our best to make you feel comfortable, and we truly hope you enjoy your stay with us. Warmly,
