The Moon River Homestay & Villa

The owner was lovely, gave us advice for the rest of our trip, and was very helpful in general. We were able to rent bikes from them for the day to cycle to the beach as well.

Great family

Nous avons passé un super séjour dans le homestay de Tri. C’est une personne tres chaleureuse ! Il nous a invité à un repas avec ses amis. Nous avons adoré partager la culture vietnamienne avec eux. Le logement etait tres propre et fidèle aux photos. Des petits déjeuners au top ! Le lieu est tres calme avec une magnifique vue sur la riviere et les champs. On recommande vivement 🤗

The location is amazing - right in the Tra Que vegetable village, in front of the river, with chickens next door and with beautiful view into the greenery. The Wi-Fi was strong and there was a good table in the room in case you need to work online. The room was reasonably clean and the shower with hot water was great.

I almost never write negative reviews but we were attracted by the raving reviews of this villa and it simply isn’t the current reality now in April 2025. This property probably seen great times in the past but not right now. - When we arrived, they were fixing the swimming pool so it was not possible to use it. When we were leaving, it was still nowhere near to be finished. It was a disappointment because with a child having the pool access was very important. No information about this on Booking.com or in their communication. There could be a discount offered because a crucial part of the facilities was not working. - The family is very kind and sweet on the first sight. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Considering it is a small house with just 4 rooms and family business you would expect them to be there for their guests. Unfortunately we had to hunt them every time we needed anything. It seems they are juggling other businesses or jobs but the guests shouldn’t feel it. During our stay we felt completely left behind and not taken care of. The man of the house is walking around shirtless all the time in front of children and guests (first time I see this in Vietnam). After experiencing the hospitality in Vietnam for several weeks, this was a disappointment and all other villas that we visited cared much more about their guests and behaved in more professional way. - Very simple breakfast - everywhere else you get a fruit plate. In the middle of Tra Que vegetable village… no fruit. Plus we were supposed to warm up our own breakfast at the shocking time of 9 am. It was too much for the guests. They asked me to make my own scrambled eggs. :-) What a hospitality. I work in tourism my whole life and this is the first time I experience that I pay for breakfast which I am supposed to make myself. Not being around for their guest in the breakfast time just shows how much the owners care about their property.
