Mekong Farmstay CanTho - C.R Floating Market

From the moment we arrived our host Human made us feel so welcome. His English was excellent. Our room was lovely with comfy loungers on the deck overlooking a small stream and surrounded by lush vegetation. We were given fresh fruit and other homemade snacks and drinks throughout our 2 night stay. Human cooked us a delicious feast for dinner on our first night then took us by bicycle into the local village to sample an avocado smoothie - sublime! Our wonderful tour of Cai Reng floating market started with a sunrise cycle to the boat. Human was attentive, informative and interesting to talk to. He even helped us with our very poor pronunciation of Vietnamese words. We learnt how rice noodles were made - even had a go ourselves - and we visited Can Tho city and ate Pho with Human at his favourite restaurant. What a very special experience - one we shall never forget. Stay at Mekong Farmstay if you want to make some very special memories. Thank you Human for your amazing hospitality.

Nice and clean.

Our stay at Mekong Farmstay was absolutely incredible, easily one of the highlights of our trip in Vietnam. Human, the host, was genuinely one of the kindest and most welcoming people we’ve met. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel at home. He greeted us with a fresh passion fruit juice, helped us find vegan food nearby for lunch, and even introduced us to what might be the best avocado smoothie in town! In the evening, his mum prepared a delicious hotpot, the food was amazing and felt very authentic. You can really feel the care and love put into everything here. The farmstay itself is exactly what we were looking for: peaceful, clean, and surrounded by nature. It’s the perfect place to relax and disconnect. We also did the floating market tour with Human, and it was hands down one of the BEST experiences of our 3 weeks in Vietnam. The food during the tour was once again fantastic, and he made sure to accommodate our dietary requirements perfectly. If you stay here, this tour is an absolute MUST!!! To top it all off, Human helped us organise our bus to the next destination, making everything smooth and stress-free. He is truly passionate about what he does and goes above and beyond to make sure his guests have a memorable stay. 5 stars ⭐ Highly recommended! Thank you so much, Human 🫶🏽

Human is a wonderful, considerate host, speaks fairly good English and is knowledgeable about the area. He took us to the floating markets, local market and island. He took photos of us doing all these activities and shared them with us and recommended that we visit a small cocoa farm nearby which was fascinating. We felt very safe at his farm stay - he even made sure that the grab picking us up when we left matched the vehicle registration on the app. We really appreciated the fresh fruit and drinks he prepared for us on occasion. If you are looking for a unique, rustic experience amongst the Mekong delta residents going about their daily lives, then this is the place to stay.

The farm stay property itself is delightful - a real garden setting. Sadly the litter in all the surrounding areas and rivers is absolutely horrific. Human supplies earplugs which are necessary for a good night's rest from surrounding noise beyond his control (dogs, traffic, music).
