Review Body: My visit to Cát Tiên Riverside was an unforgettable journey into the heart of nature, seamlessly blending comfort with the raw beauty of the riverine landscape. From the moment I arrived, the proximity to the ferry for Cát Tiên National Park made it clear that I was in for a true adventure. The highlight of my stay was the sunset boat cruise. The owner, doubling as our guide, navigated the river expertly, sharing insightful local knowledge that enriched our experience. As the boat glided through the water, we were treated to a spectacular display of wildlife, including numerous birds and playful monkeys, all under the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset. It was a perfect way to connect with nature. Accommodations felt like a nature embrace, with rooms perfectly positioned to wake up to views of the river. The soothing sounds of water and wildlife were a refreshing way to start the day, immersed in tranquility. Dining here was another pleasure, highlighted by a delicious fish hot pot that captured the essence of local cuisine. The ingredients were fresh, with flavors that spoke of the surrounding environment. The family's hospitality was heartwarming, making us feel like part of their community.

Review Body: The location is ideal—just a short walk to the national park ferry and within easy reach of local stores and the market. The peaceful riverside setting, paired with the beautiful weather, made for a relaxing getaway. We particularly enjoyed wandering through the pomelo orchard and sampling the delicious fresh fruit it produces. One of the highlights of our stay was the boat tour with Mister Long down the Dong Nai River. We loved spotting monkeys, birds, and other wildlife while soaking in the serene surroundings. Back at the homestay, the vegetarian meals prepared for us were fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Our riverfront room was spacious, clean, and equipped with both air conditioning and hot water, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Review Body: The hotel is in a fantastic location with a lovely view of the river, close to the ferry for trips to the national park. And best of all is the kindness of the owner, Mr. Long, who even took us monkey and bird watching. They also own a restaurant next door and a juice bar where his wife and family work, and they're all very friendly. I highly recommend it. I'll be back.

Review Body: Location right next to park, lovely host that was helpful with looking for next day route with the motor. Nice dog as well. His parents made a great home cooked meal, room was good too. Beds a little hard but they all are in the region, have mosquito netting in the rooms. Would stay again!

Review Body: Not happy with the service of Seek Sophie at all. Creating lot of inconvenience based on the agreements that are made and it's clear that the costs are not fair at all. The trip and the hosts where amazing, so I would recommend to book this tour just directly via the host.
