Mai Chau is worth a trip to see the countryside and the Chieu cave. Make your visit even more special by staying at Lim’s House. Our hostess shared much information about her family and the Thai people; be sure to have a look through her book on the ethnic groups of Vietnam. One of the best homestays we’ve experienced.

Very nice location overlooking the rice paddy fields. We booked via booking.com and they didn’t know we were arriving so nothing was organised but they sought to this very quickly. The room was very large and beautiful but the beds on the floor were very uncomfortable. The communal bathrooms were very average but had hot water at least. The owners were friendly however we felt we got ripped off. They asked us if we wanted to have dinner with their family but charged us 200,000 dong without letting us know. The bikes were very old and mostly broken and they charged us 50,000 per day but also didn’t let us know there was a charge. Lots of hidden costs and our final bill was a lot higher than expected. Was nice to wake up to the sound of roosters but screaming babies and lots of noise from 4am onwards.

Amazing place with great views and food. Family is so nice. I planned to stay here for 2 days and ended up staying 2 weeks. The outdoor area/balcony is great to work on, and there is also lots to do in the area. I will be back one day :)

Our hostel is locally owned and set up as a traditional Thai village homestay and rooms are traditional Thai stilt homes. That means the rooms are one room stilted houses made completely of beautiful hardwood, with wooden floors and mattresses placed on the floor separated by mosquito nets and wooden beams. The downstairs lounge area has a bar, restaurant with authentic local Vietnamese menu, and a pool table. Breakfast is included in the price of your stay here. Traditional family homestay dinner is available at an additional cost.
The best food in Mai Chau and the service is excellent!! We didn't stay in here but we ate here every day and had a great time. The price is really low and the food is amazing! If you come visit Mai Chau I really recomend this place!

Our family didn't stay at this lodge but went to use their services for a day tour. Our tour guide Son was a wonderful host for a trek into the surrounding hillside where we visited three villages and learned about surrounding culture. He was even nice enough to have us visit his home and talk about the local schools he went to in the area. Our kids learned a lot from him. Son's english was very good and he was able to answer all of our questions. We highly recommend a tour from this lodge and especially this guide!

I cannot imagine a better experience in Mai Chau than at Mai Chau Dreams homestay. Nim and Hue were unbelievable hosts, extremely welcoming and generous with their time and knowledge. What a spectacularly beautiful place they have in Pom Coong. They welcomed me into a fantastic dinner with their family, drank beer and rice wine, and helped me with the logistics of renting a motorbike and getting the local bus back to Hanoi. I am already planning my trip back to this place, next time for multiple days!

Thang and his family have made a truly wonderful homestay in Mai Chau town. When there are so many places to stay I can honestly recommend this place above the rest. Positioned away from the busiest parts of town and facing onto the rice paddies and mountains you will feel like you have escaped to paradise. The bungalows are very comfortable and all have AC and a great view. The garden is full of flowers so you will be surrounded by butterflies and dragon flies the whole time. The family are very warm and Thang's mother in law is a great cook. They made some delicious vegetarian meals for us including a quick lunch before we got on the bus. You can rent bicycles and scooters from the homestay as well as arrange a tour or activity for your stay. A great place to unwind and experience village life for yourself.
