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.
