Fish Farm Homestay
At Fish Farm Homestay, volunteers do not just visit the countryside. They live in it. You wake up to the sounds of nature, see how a local farm operates, and experience daily life in a Vietnamese village.
Our team is small and friendly. Most staff members are local people from the area who help with daily operations such as taking care of the fish farm, maintaining the garden, preparing rooms, and welcoming guests. Because we are a small team, everyone helps each other and the atmosphere is relaxed and cooperative.
Volunteers are treated as guests and friends, not as employees. We believe volunteering should be a positive cultural exchange for everyone.

About the experience in: Yen Bai City, Vietnam
Canada
I stayed at Quynh’s homestay for 3 weeks. It was my first volunteering experience, and I had a fantastic time with her, the kids from the village and her family! I had a few things to do in the morning and during the day, the host always included me in their activities. The main task is to teach a small group of children in the evening. They are around 5 years old, very cute and full of energy! Quynh is a very generous and flexible host, and she always made sure I had everything I needed. The homestay is a lively and lovely place, I would strongly recommend!

Firstly when I arrived learnt that the host is operating the farm remotely from Thailand,Secondly the rules of the place weren't clear at all , she would text us volunteers thier tasks via WhatsApp and keep and eye on us with camera,micro managing the volenteers at her farm via cctv camera and whatsapp to do activities .It felt invasion of privacy all the time but I stayed thier because the english project was really good and amazing first time experience teaching to kid's for me.The father of host is War veteran an amazing gentleman, hosts brothers food is amazing, in end she was very rude .

I had a great time at the farm, the host Quỳnh and her family were super friendly & very welcoming. The work was really easy, just a few hours teaching English and doing some general cleaning. I was the only volunteer and there wasn't a lot of work to do, so I had a lot of free time, but the family always included me in events, so I learned a lot about their day-to-day lives.

This place has been the perfect spot for a bit of relaxation and time away from the busy cities of Vietnam. The host Ha is extremely forgiving and friendly with everything, she also has 2 children who are extremely energetic and fun to be around. I would recommend anyone who likes animals as they have 2 extremely friendly dogs (1 which I have named bonsai along with a friend of mine) they also have chickens and bees which they've taught me how to treat in the Vietnamese way.

It was absolutely amazing. The family is very welcoming and great, from the very first moment we knew we came to the right place. Was really fun learning about Vietnam in general and the people of Vietnamise villages throughout this experience, and the hosts talks fluently English which helps a lot in everything . Really really recommend to everyone!
