Review Body: Tien was a wonderful host. We had amazing 3 days at her ecolodge and she and her family made us feel very welcomed. We also booked some tours wich all got organised by tien she even rescheduled some as the weather was bad one afternoon. She always made sure we had enough water when we would leave for tours and welcomed us back with a big smile. Food was amazing and over all we had a great experience. Thank you Tien and Family

Review Body: What's not to like: one of the cheapest places in town, really nice and clean rooms, free breakfast, some of the best and cheapest food in the area, staff were amazing (super friendly and really going out of their way) and the cutest puppy always around. We were sceptical about the 10 rating but it really lived up to expectations and more. The staff even lent our friend shoes because she left hers in HCMC. Amazing. Only two slight faults is that one of the beds in our room was very firm. We didn't mind but others might say otherwise. Lastly, the devide between rooms doesn't go all the way to the ceiling so a but of light and noise comes through. Not a problem as our neighbours were respectful.

Review Body: We liked everything! The staff is super nice and friendly, the location is the best, very close to the park Cat Tien (1 minute walk to the ferry), room and bathroom clean! They helped us with the singing gibbons tour, it is very early morning and it is limited for 4 people per day, so be quick! It was amazing experience. We feel there very safe. In the restaurant in the acommodation they cook for us vegan food, tofu with tasty sauce with rice. They have fine fruits from the garden and interesting kinds of homemade whiskey. They helped us with transport to another destination in Bao Loc. We wish we could stay longer, there are many interesting things to do.

Review Body: The homestay is perfect for visiting Cat Tien National Park, just about 100 meters from the entrance. The family is very hospitable and their daughter Tien speaks good English. She is always helpful in organizing the stay and answering our questions. The homestay is located in a wonderful orchard. The bungalows are big and clean, the air conditioning worked well. The bathroom was very clean as well. The homestay has a small restaurant where we ate very well every day. For the onward journey to the Mekongdelta, the family offered us a good bus connection. Everything was perfect.

Review Body: his place has been by far the best accommodation we’ve had since arriving in Vietnam. The rooms were clean and spacious, and they had air conditioning! The lady who ran the hotel with her parents was the highlight of this booking as they cooked dinner for us every night, socialized with us and even let us try their home brewed whiskey. We needed help booking a bus for us to go to Da Lat with our motorbikes, and they did it without any problem. These are the reasons and moments you look forward to when you come to Vietnam!

Review Body: We loved it all from start to finish! They organised tours and days to the park for us, lent us mopeds for the whole day, the place its self is kept to a high standard and the whole family are lovely. They really go out of their way to make sure you have a good stay, and for the price the place is exceptional. Even when we left our passports behind by accident they found the best way to have them returned. If I ever find myself this way again I will be coming here.

Review Body: The seclusion, the peace, we found the familiar one wonderful. Only 5mn from the ferry to the national park is the location ideal. We met on site Scooter rented and explored the area which was also beautiful. The food was always fresh and really delicious. Tien was eager to fulfill all wishes at any time and was very open and communicative. The Bungalow was big and clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly Unrestricted recommendation!!

Review Body: This is one of my favorite places to stay in Vietnam. It's peaceful, comfortable, and relaxing. The lodge is family owned, and they are all very kind. The manager Tien speaks English fluently and gives lots of fantastic local tips. The rooms are immaculate, new AC units with ice cold air, very spacious. This place has made our stay in Cat Tien even better than we hoped for. We'll be back for sure, thanks for the wonderful hospitality!

Review Body: We arrived just to stay the night and finally we stayed 3 days! They are lovely people, always smiling, and they give you little treats (some fruit from their garden after each meal). I really recommend this place if you feel like staying somewhere quiet and peaceful appart from the city. I have nothing to dislike here because we really enjoyed our stay and we can't complain about anything.

Review Body: Friendly host, excellent service, very good food(western options also available), nice location, nice rooms. The service especially was amazing.

Review Body: This family-run business is exceptional in its location. There’s a large fruit garden, comfortable huts and in general the owners are very helpful and go out of their way for their guests. Little to complain. Just maybe some more comfortable seating in the little hangout area might be nice. E. g. loungers or hammocks.
