The Zen - InnerZen Mekong Riverside homestay Ben Tre 1 bed for 1-2 persons, 2 beds for 3-4 persons

Endroit incroyable, maison magnifique et la vue sur le Mekong est magique ! Nous avons dîné les deux soirs, nos deux meilleurs repas du Vietnam

Beautiful place with a tranquil setting and kind hearted hosts. Perfect for an authentic Mekong Delta stay, with delicious food, bikes for exploring the local countryside and easy transfers from the airport and Saigon.

Nothing - it was all wonderful.

Colazione e cena molto buone. La posizione sul fiume ci è piaciuta molto. L'appartamento era bellissimo e in stile giapponese. C'erano anche dei vestiti che ci siamo divertite a provare. Linh è molto gentile e disponibile

La pulizia della camera potrebbe essere migliorata: calcare nella doccia e odore sgradevole. Vetri sporchi. Terrazzo non ben pulito Il tour che ci hanno proposto era molto caro (49 USD) rispetto ad altri fatti durante la nostra vacanza, anche se bellissimo. Mancano piccoli accorgimenti: durante la cena era molto caldo, con zanzare e ci siamo accorti solo il giorno dopo che c'era un ventilatore che nessuno ha acceso. Preparando i bagagli prima del check out e poi tornare in Italia è mancata la corrente, quindi era caldissimo (+35°)e non abbiamo potuto caricare al 100% tutti i nostri dispositivi. Al check out niente è stato fatto per venirci incontro, anzi abbiamo pagato anche i 0,40 cent. per bottiglia d'acqua. Linh lascia parte della gestione alla signora Huyen, che pur essendo molto volenterosa, dovrebbe essere più formata e più attenta alle esigenze dei clienti.

Mit einem Wort: Sehr empfehlenswert. Wir hatten das große Appartment mit Balkon direkt am Fluss. Die Tagestour, die Linh anbietet sollte man unbedingt buchen, denn man sieht dann wirklich urwüchsige Mekong natur und mit dem Scouter bekommt man auch einen realen Eindruck, wie die Leute leben. Der Guy war klasse. Die Angebote von Linh sind exact, preilisch attrativ und transparent, was sehr zu schätzen ist. Linh und ihr Mann und ihre Angestellten sind äusserst freundlich und entgegenkommend. Das Abendessen sollte man unbedingt probieren, denn es wird von einer älteren Vietnamesin gekocht. Ohrenstöpsel sind hier für die nacht Pflicht. In der ganzen gegend südlich von benTre sind überall Lautsprecher, die früh morgens lautstark Propaganda verbreiten. Nicht vergessen :-)

Belle décoration d'inspiration japonaise, l'appartement est spacieux avec une belle terrasse face à la rivière. Situé à l'écart de la ville, en pleine nature, on s'y sent comme chez soi. Il n'y a que deux logements, on est donc très tranquilles. Le dîner et le petit déjeuner sont préparés en fonction de ce que l'on demande et très bien cuisiné. Des vélos sont à disposition et on peut louer des scooters pour sillonner les alentours qui sont magnifiques. La ballade d'une journée en scooter et bateau avec un guide est à ne pas manquer. Linh à également organisé notre transfert en taxi depuis HCM et pour repartir vers Can Tho avec de belles visites sur le parcours.

Ein grandioser Ausblick von der Terrasse. Die Besitzer waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die private Bootsfahrt war einfach nur toll, unbedingt machen! Viele Erklärungen zum Mekong und geruhsame Fahrt auch in kleine Kanäle. Die Wohnung ist groß und alles nötige da. Es gab ein Moskitonetz für das Bett, was auch sehr ratsam war, weil es dort viele Insekten gibt. Wir haben den Transfer vom Busbahnhof zur Unterkunft über Linh gebucht, was super geklappt hat (nur etwas teurer war als angegeben).

Das Karoke war über das Wochenende wirklich lange sehr laut, das sollte man wissen. Aber auf der Beschreibung der Unterkunft wurde darauf hingewiesen. Es gab kein warmes Wasser zum duschen, war für uns aber kein Problem, da es sehr schwül heiß war. Auf der Terrasse wären bequeme Sitze schön, es gab nur Klappstühle in kindergröße oder Barhocker.

Innerzen Homestay is a wonderful new house located directly at an arm of the Ben tre river with a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Linh and her team are just the most welcoming host and cook you can think of. We had the Japanese architecture inspired first floor apartment which in reality looks exactly as pictures tell and sitting on the first floor terrace or on the ground terrace at breakfast and dinner and looking at the peaceful river and thousands of coconuts palms, watching fishermen in little boats do their work is absolutely relaxing. Just a wonderful stay with very nice hosts.

Es war großartig. Ein perfekter Platz zum Entspannen im Mekong – Delta. Vu war ein wunderbarer Guide. Als am Morgen der Kanal auf dem Mekong durch ein Transportschiff versperrt war und die Fahrt nicht weitergehen konnte, haben wir am Abend noch einmal die Fahrt wiederholen und den Sonnenuntergang beobachten können. Linh kümmert sich perfekt um alle Wünsche. Absolut empfehlenswert.

La nourriture est exceptionnelle. Nous avons dîné les deux soirs c’est à tomber par terre ! L’appartement est magnifique ! Nous avons adoré faire du vélo dans les environs. Le personnel est au TOP !

Linh heeft echt een bijzondere plek gecreëerd. Comfortabel, gastvrij, luxueus. Heerlijk eten. De tours die georganiseerd worden zijn ook prima.

- The landscape: just awesome - the staff: everyone was just extremly attentive, friendly and helpful; at the same time they noticed very quickly when I wanted to be on my own in order to read; I am sure that if I would have wanted to chat more, they would have be more than open to that, too; - the food: never ever have I eaten vietnamese food that tasted that good; I also do eat a lot and rarely have the problem that it is too much but here, even I couldn‘t finish because it was so much

I booked this vacation as a gift for my mom and this is her review: “I had a great stay at Innerzen Riverside Homestay Bến Tre with its beautiful location, spacious apartment, excellent dinners. It was exactly what I expected to spend my vacation in Vietnam. The highlight of this trip was my red sail boat cruise (I had twice) playing my instrument along the river watching the sunset. I really hope to come back for a longer period. Ms Linh is an excellent host. I’ll miss her and her team a lot.”— Hang Van den Broeck—

Magical place by the river and very helpful hosts.

Everything

Nothing

Fantastisk location, the food was amazing and hosts were extremely friendly and helpful

It’s just outstanding - the design, decor, service, food which was cooked for us. Everything.

That we had to leave it :(((

The food cooked by Mrs Hai was absolutely delicious and our boat trip on the MeKong was unforgettable.

The host is very friendly and Mrs Hai’s cooking was fabulous. The design of the house was unique and combined with the view of the river it was incredibly peaceful. A really unique stay.

Only minor things. I personally can’t sleep well on hard mattresses so it would be great to get a mattress topper for the second temporary bedroom for future squishy bed fans like myself. Also the price of some of the tours were a little out of our budget but because the area isn’t the most accessible it would be better for other guests to budget specifically with the Host’s tours in mind as they go straight from the property. Lastly, I wish there were more mosquito screens because I got bitten a lot.

Mrs Hai is lovely and cooked us amazing food- best meal we had in our trip! The property itself was beautifully designed

Mrs Hai also lives with Linh and her partner (who speak English and were arranging our stay over WhatsApp). They tried to avoid us as much as they could (including staying in their room rather than coming out as we were leaving, and preferring to text us about paying for the property). As the only English speakers, when we were the only guests in the property, it was very jarring. Would have preferred to just stay with Mrs Hai and used google translate. We went in a taxi from Can Tho to Ben Tre arranged by Linh and partner. We were stuck in the cab 45 mins longer than necessary as they couldn’t give clear instructions to cab to driver. We ended up navigating him by google maps We arrived at 2:30pm to extremely loud karaoke from next door- it ruined our stay and we booked on a trip to get away from the noise. It’s not a karaoke bar- it is 4 guys around a laptop unfortunately shouting into a microphone. Karaoke is part of the Mekong culture but we’d recommend looking up where karaoke happens and staying somewhere further away as next door was too much. Would have felt different if hosts had apologised for karaoke by putting a discount on the trip or accommodation, but that didn’t happen. Also very expensive for the Mekong.

Amazing location, beautiful apartment, amazing hosts and the cook Mrs.Hai is Nr.1

the most beautiful location in the whole area, directly at the water and super comfortable bed. local food was so delicious and fresh, the best we had in ben tre.

Innerzen was in a beautiful location down a short track. It was exactly what we wanted to get away from it all and the view from the balcony was wonderful - watching the boats go by throught the day. Mrs Hai was lovely, as was her cooking!

Absolutely stunning accommodation, could not ask for more. The location was great, right on the river, so the view was really nice, surrounded by vegetation, far from busy roads. The house was amazing, an architectural jewel, you could tell that someone really put heart and passion into that project. That someone is Linh, the owner which was incredible helpful with everything - including arranging a one day trip exploring the surroundings with Mr. Si, also a very funny and helpful guy. The food prepared by Mrs. Hai was delicious as well, although she didn't speak English we communicated pretty well through Linh or using Google Translate. Linh also helped us with renting a motorbike, and the transfer to and from the house. I absolutely recommend this place and you would be really lucky to find it available as there aren't many places like this in the whole Mekong delta.

Not Applicable

Most wonderful Homestay. Would go back anytime. We spent New Year's and could not have asked for more. We felt right at home and at such peace. We truly enjoyed the entire upper floor and wished we would have stayed longer! Linh and Mrs. Hai took care so well and went above and beyond; thank you for everything. In addition, Linh also organized our transfer from Ho Chi Minh City, which made everything so seamless and easy. Also, don’t forget to book the day tour they offer; it was the best experience!

decoration, dedicated services

Quite, clean, private, good staff and people

Exactly as described. Zung is an incredibly helpful and arranging host, always available and attached to ensure you enjoy your stay at its best. Without forgetting Ms Hai, who is so kind and welcoming and cooks amazing and tasty local meals. Recommend 100% !
