  A fantastic location to chill after travelling for a few months and before the long trip home. Loved this homestay and the family are fabulous. The host is friendly and welcoming. The food is fantastic. This was our favourite place to stay, the atmosphere, the peace, the view and the family all contribute to a really lovely place.

  As authentic as it gets; a beautiful family home located on a small island accessible by ferry. Clean air conditioned room with the first comfortable bed I'd slept on in Vietnam. The host is the most gracious and attentive person I met my whole trip. Need activity suggestions, local advice, bus tickets, logistics planning? Van goes the extra mile to arrange anything you may need. Let him know beforehand and he'll pick you up at the ferry terminal. My only regret is not having more time to spend here before needing to move on. An unforgettable experience.

  Sometimes when travelling you end up in a place where everything seems to come together. This is such a place. Located on an island in the Mekong, close to the city of My Tho (just take a ferry, it costs only 2000 dong per person and goes about every ten minutes) but away from all the noise and hassle. On top of that, not only is it the only homestay on the island, it is the only whateverstay on the island. There are no other hotels, appartments, guesthouses or homestays. It's just a small Vietnamese village. If you want to live Vietnam style, this is it. Chuong, the owner, is a warm, welcoming, enthusiastic and helpfull owner, you can ask him anything. Communication was fluid and easy. There are no real restaurants on the island but do yourself a favour and eat with the family. The meals, cooked by his wife are probably the best you will eat on your travel through Vietnam. Our room overlooked the Mekong river and was spacious, had airco, a large bed and a desk. We had a clean private bathroom. And our room had a terrace from where we could watch the sunset. Or walk 2 minutes to the tip of the island for even more perfection. We rented a scooter to disover the other islands and even Ben Tre. Ask Chuong for directions. This is just the perfect spot! We felt sorry we had to leave, we could have stayed here for ages.

  Tân Long island is very quiet and calm place. No cars, only bikes are running. I just got on the boat at Tân Long Ferry Terminal at Mỹ Tho to visit Tân Long island. I was just walking around the island to enjoy local atmosphere and Mekong River view. Along the riverside walk, I met a kind host of this hotel and stopped by. I haven't stayed here but just took rest and talked with the host for a while, hearing about this island. finding this place is nice to stay.

  Peaceful island with easy connection to the land (the ferry is at Trưng Trắc street, ward 1 ). We were in a spacious room with a nice terrace with a view to the river. The owner is a very nice and helpful person.
