What is an authentic homestay experience?

An authentic homestay experience is about more than just finding a place to stay, it's about immersing yourself in the local culture and lifestyle of a place by staying with a local family. At the authentic homestay, you have a chance to see how they live, work and eat in daily life. It’s not only a homestay that is built for tourists, but also a place the host family spends all their time there. 

Is it worth for spending time at a homestay?

If you are fan of the immersive travel experience, you should not miss a unique homestay in the must-do activities list. 

With a truly authentic homestay, the visitors have a genuine connection, cultural exchange, and experiencing daily life as a local, rather than as a tourist. Let's discover extraordinary things through our typical homestay in the Mekong Delta.

Cultural Immersion

Homestay offer a unique opportunity to learn about the local culture firsthand - possibly joining farming, cooking, or craft activities. You live with a local family, often in their actual home, not a separate guesthouse built just for tourists. Having a chance to eat local cuisine, learn about traditions, and experience the daily routines of your host.

Genuine Connections

Unlike staying in a hotel, homestay allow you to build relationships with your hosts and potentially forge lasting friendships. It's not just about accommodation - it's about meaningful connection. A truly homestay offers warmth, personal attention, and a sense of belonging. You'll be welcomed not as a guest, but as a friend or family.

Exploring around local home

Deeply exploring local areas by biking offers an intimate, slow-paced journey through villages, rice paddies, and hidden paths. You’ll connect with the rhythm of daily life, stop to greet locals, visit markets, and discover places unreachable by car—making each ride a meaningful adventure filled with authentic sights, sounds, and stories.
