The facilities were perfect! The stuff was super friendly. It was very clean and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay.

House: WiFi was blazing fast, more than 140mbps for both download and upload. Particularly surprising for the middle of nowhere. Would be an excellent work-from-anywhere option if there was air-conditioning. It can be absolutely sweltering in daytime. Honestly, I would have no qualms paying 50% more for the climatic comfort Ambience: Amidst actual coconut farms and away from the core of Ben Tre, Coco Happy Farm is the genuine rustic Viet experience. Host: As a former tour guide, Thuan speaks excellent English. His warmth and hospitality far exceed the (modest) price tag of his homestay. Harking back to his younger days, Thuan doubles up as our guide for both the cycling and boat tours. Born and bred in Ben Tre, Thuan is the knowledgable local expert. Point at any random object within a dozen miles and he's guaranteed to know it's purpose and backstory. Beyond knowledge, Thuan is genuinely invested in sharing his people's unique culture and struggles, providing a novel dimension to an ordinary holiday. Cycling Tour: A complimentary (yes, it's free) 5-hour bike/scooter tour through Thuan's humble little village. At a leisurely pace, we were introduced to local agriculture (Thuan is a farmer too), folk religion (dropping by a small shrine), business practices, state-organized Buddhism (where we visited an immaculate temple) and local life (stopping by a wet market) The best part was: zero tourists in sight (except us, of course) In terms of authencity, this tour was in a league of it's own. In terms of value, this (free, I should reiterate) tour paid for the room rate many times over. Boat Tour: At USD70 (1pax)/ USD90 (3pax) for a private tour, Thuan's rates are very reasonable. There were tourists here but definitely not "touristy". Overall an impeccably organized (we never had to wait for anything) and minimally commercialized glimpse into local customs and industries.

My second stay. Amazing like first time.

Secluded, exactly what we needed after the buzz of HCMC. Extremely helpful staff, beautiful arrangement under the coconut trees, highly recommended for a reason.
